JUNIOR CITIZENS ADD 6 CLUBS HERE Mrs. Charles Haig Reports Organization’s Growth to D. A. R. Mrs. Charles Carroll Haig, State regent of the District of Columbia D. A. R, reported to the forty-sixth Continental Congress last night that six new clubs of Junior American Oftizens were formed in the public schools here during the past year, making a total of 11 clubs, with a membership of over 400. Good citizenship medals will be presented, she said, to one boy and one girl in the June graduating class of the 18 junior high schools of the District, in connection with the D. A. R. program on national defense. Through the Genealogical Records Committee, she reported that 959 pages of Bible and miscellaneous rec- ords were contributed. More than $1,500 has been contri- buted for scholarships to the ap- proved schools from this city, she reported, and nearly $300 to the Florence H. Becker Recreation Hall at Kate Duncan Smith School and the manager at Tamassee. The D. A. R. in the District of Co- lumbia, she reported, now has a mem- bership of 3,500. An innovation of the year was an evening known as ‘“chapter regents’ night,” during the State conference, she said. ‘The Maryland State report, by Mrs. Arthur P. Shanklin of Baltimore, said copies of the 1,800 census records of seven counties of Maryland and Baltimore City had been given to the Md., candidate for honorary D. A.

Holt Scholarship Fund, Filing and Lending Bureau, Genealogical Rec- ords, Census Records and Girl Home- makers, Retirement (Continued From First Page.) would take advantage of early retire- ment or because the Government could weed out workers it was believed should be retired. Federal employes had experience with forced retirement under the economy act, however, and did not like it, and those workers who now can retire at 62 or 65, instead of 70 as customary, also are opposing the plan. Disputed by Actuaries. Actuaries, too, dispute the eivil service figures on the cost of admin- istration, holding that the option, if exercised by emploes alone, would run about $5,000.000 annually, and that to give this option to the Government also would boost the cost about | $8.000,000. There have been a couple of plans | put forth for survivor annuities, it is said, neither of which would cost the Government anything more unless for | ™%\ ] i “\h i\ erd DALY AGED BEER 1S WORTH DRINKING slight additional clerk hire. These, however, are reported to be in dis- favor with the workers because they feel the result would be inadequate payments. At the same time, however, it was indicated that no retirement legisla- tion that might be expected to entail additional cost will be looked on with favor by the administration, particu- larly in view of the current move toward reducing expenditures. This same argument against increased costs, however, was put forth several months ago by Representative Rams- peck, Democrat, of Georgla, chairman of the House Civil Service Commit- tee, who said Congress would oppose adding to the retirement load. ‘The Civil Service Commission has not disclosed what personnel improve- ments were embodied in the report to the White House, which was taken up with the President for the first time yesterday. The program was recom- mended, however, with the qualifica- tion that it would not entail added expenditure and otherwise conform to the President's ideas. Entrance Requirements. Both President Roosevelt and the Civil Service Commission are known [ ho to be interested in raising entrance requirements for Government posts to put the service on a more selected basis. Coupled with this is the ques- tion of cutting down on the number of those taking examination, because of the expense involved in handling the huge number of applicants, for so many of whom places never will be found. No step will be taken in this direc- tion, however, it is certain, without due consideration, but especially in view of the commission’s experience a few years ago when age requirements were lifted. This so-called “through at 40” ruling raised a storm of op- position and the commission revised its entrance age upward. It did not, however, recede from the argument that many older persons were under- | going the expense of examination in the face of a disinclination by appointe | ment officers to hire them. e Colombia's imports from the United States in January were 50 per cent greater than a year ago.
