Chances of obtaining action by this Congress on a new retirement law for the thousands of Government em- ployes in Washington and throu out the countiy, appeared to be more fav- orable last night. after the Senate civil service committee had decided to report out immediat a bill incre ing annuities and permitting optional | retirement after 30 years of service | at age limits lower than those fixed for automatic retirement. The committee late an- thorized its chairman, Senator Dale. | Republican, of Vermont, to make a | favorable report on a measure which would accomplish the following: Raise the maximum annuity from $1.000 to $1,200; allow optional retire- ment, after 30 years of service, at the age of 68 to those workers who retire | 70; optional retire- | vears of service, at automatically at ment, after 30 63, to those who now go out auto matically at 65. and optional retire i ment after 30 years of service at the age of 60, to those who retire :uio matically at 62. New Computing Method. The new bill, which will be reported to the Senate early this wee'. also changes the method of computing the annuity. At present, the annuity is arrived at by multiplying the averas during the last 10 vears of service, in no case to exceed $3&900. by the number of years served, in no case to exceed 30 vears, and divid- |ing the product by 45. The _bill vesterday approved In committee would determine the an- | puity of an employe by multiplying the “average salary during the last five vears, In no case to exceed $1.600, by the number of yeara served, in no case to exceed 30, and dividing the product by 40. According to Senator ‘method of computation will cmployes in the lower grades. In order to present to the Scnate a bill in the simplest form, the com- mittee struck out a number of othe proposed changes in administrative features of existing law. When the measure is reported, it will be placed on the Renate calendar and Chairman Dule said he would en deavor to have it voted upon as woon as an opportunity presents fiself. Bill Has Good Chance. Although the bill still has a long legislative journey to travel, with the possibility of meeting ohstacles on the wa committee in reporting it out rather unexpectedly at this early date in the meswion gives it a better chance for consideration than seemed likely here- tofore. The Senate committee decided not to zo through the process of hold ing further hearings on the subject this year.

BY G. ADAMS HGWARD. A new regulation providing for | (oft-hand (urns at intersections e trolled by a ¢ he the sume as on streets controlled | by traffic lights, was announced to- | by Traffic Director William H. | Havland. Recommendation for mak-| ing left turns uniform has been made | to the Commissioners, and Mr. Har, land believes their approval assured. | Mr. Harlad expressed himself as being of the opinfon that this lation will simplify traffic condition: as heretofore the aver has been puzzled to what to do at these intersections. The pulling up 1o the right-hand curb and await- ing the policeman's signal before wurning left will allow through traf- | ., Miss Rose Schneiderman and {of veing blocked. as often happened <! when wne or more machines pulled pnson, members of | out into the center of the street, the director said.

Harland believes, especially on: ¥ and G strecis, where drivers betore I heen forced to diive around bl to_reach their destination. Right turnx on police pssangs should be made the semiphore says “ge states. Although™ thix resulation has been in force for a long time, some policemen, as well ax many motorists, nave not followed this course of pre cedure, Cases are known where policeman has rebuked a driver not turmng right, when his saul “stop.

Congestion Created. Much traflic congestion had result previously due to the non-ohservan of the law by faxi drivers on the west side the crele. It their stand was filled, they would park along- side of each othir or else loiter around | the trigngle on Massachusetts avenue nd Twenticth street. Muny mornings | those on their way to work were tied | up until the unraveling begun. Many | accidents also were narrowly averted. | The bureau is considering a plan to ban parking on one side of Seven: teenth stre-i, between M assachusetts and Florida avenues. Complaint has been made that the streel is too nar row for parking on both sides, par- ticularly with the large bussex that re routed along it to miss the traftic lights on Sixteenth street. As there are many apartment houses on this street, the curbs are lined for blocks without a break with parked ma chines. According to the complaint there is just enough reom for automo biles to pass each other, but that be- | cause of the small marzin of room many accidents have occurred and the street is regarded as very danzer ous, It Is brought out also in the opinion of the complainants that the street is a fire runm, which fact in-| creases the menace to the safety of | life and property. Mr. Harland ns had Inspector Brown investigate the condition, and although he reported that machines | could pass, the mutter is under further investigation. ‘ WOMEN WILL OBSERVE MISSION ANNIVERSARY'! v ks controiled nly when | .
