Commission Officials
Dispute $105,324,269
Retirement Bill Cost
By Joseph Young
Civil Service Commission retire
ment officials today acknowledged
they had erred on their cost esti
mates of the Langer-Chavez civil
service retirement bill, but they em
phatically disagreed with an actu
arial report that the measure would
cost the Government an additional
$105324369 annually.
The report made yesterday to the
House Civil Service Committee was
regarded as a drastic setback to the
bill's chances of passage, inasmuch
as supporters of the legislation had
contended that its enactment would
not cost the Government any money
for many years. Even then; the
bill’s sponsors contended the cost
wouldn’t amount to more than $4,
000,000 or $5,000,000 a year.
The report was prepared by the
Board of Actuaries of the Civil
Service Retirement Fund. The board,
which administers the retirement
fund, is composed of two non-Gov
ernment actuaries and one actuary
from the Treasury Department. It
operates independently of the Civil
Service Commission.
Confer on Figures.
Warren B. Irons, chief of the
commission’s retirement division,
saia ioaay, we were a little low
in our cost estimate, but I think
that the board’s estimate is much
too high. The cost probably will be
somewhere between the two esti
mates.”
Mr. Irons also stuck to the com
mission's contention that the bill
wouldn’t cost the Government any
additional money for a number of
years. He revealed his division and
the Actuarial Board were holding
daily sessions in an attempt to arrive
at a new cost figure.
Representative Stevenson, Repub
lican, of Wisconsin, sponsor of the
House bill, said the actuarial report
“came as a bombshell to me.” He
intimated that, if the $106,000,000
figure is proved to be correct, he
would not press for passage of the
bill. Mr. Stevenson, who is also the
chairman of the House Civil Service
Subcommittee holding hearings on
the bill, said he was not satisfied
with either report, however, and
that his group would meet again
next week to hear both sides.
Fund Not Actuarily Sound.
"I introduced this bill after I was
assured that it would not cost the
Government any additional money
for a number of years and might
eventually cost about $4,000,000 or
$5,000,000 a year in about 30 years,”
Mr. Stevenson said. “Now, I’m not
certain what it will cost. Our com
mittee is going to call back both the
commission retirement officials and
the Board of Actuaries and try to
get the real facts.”
Mr. Irons said he didn’t think the
bill’s cost “would be anywhere near”
the board's estimate. For one thinv.
Mr. Irons declared, the board went
on the assumption that the Federal
retirement fund is actuarily sound,
“when as a matter of fact it never
has been.”
This assumption raised the esti
mated by many millions of dollars,
Mr. Irons asserted.
Government employes’ groups,
which consider this bill the most im
portant piece of legislation affecting
Federal workers during this session
of Congress, assert that most of the
cost would be offset by the increase
in the employes’ salary contribution
from‘the present 5 per cent to 6 per
cent. > - ‘
The bill already has been ap
proved by the Senate Civil Service
Committee, but has encountered
Senate opposition on the cost ques
tion. Chairman Langer plans to
bring it up for action in a week or
two.
One of the groups most affected
by the bill are those Government
employes already retired. These
former employes declare the in
creased cost of living has made it
virtually impossible for them to get
along on their present pensions. The
bill would increase their payments
by 25 per cent or $300, which ever
is smaller.
Also, the bill would increase an
nuity benefits to Government work
ers upon retirement and would
provide survivorship insurance pay
ments to widows and orphans of de
ceased Federal employes.
Pharmacist Urged for Board
i J' T. Wallace of Arlington has
been nominated by the Virginia
Pharmacists Association for ap
pointment by Gov. Tuck to the State
Board of Pharmacy.
French Girl Wins
District Woman's .
Aid in Career
Two years ago, Mrs. Helen Bol
ton, a supervisor of student teach
ers at the Truesdell Elementary
School, began writing to a 22-year
old girl in France whose family had
been lost during the war.
This summer Mrs. Bolton is going
to France to see the girl, Miss Fran
cine Bonnet, in an effort to help her
realize her ambition to become a
doctor.
*Tt"s not pure philanthropy,"
Mrs. Bolton explained. “It works out
both ways.”
Mrs. Bolton is sold on the study of
languages. Knowing the people of
other countries and being able to
speak their language is the only way
this country can arrive at inter
national understanding, Mrs. Bolton
believes. Her pilgrimage to Paris
this summer is her contribution to
this ideal.
Mrs. Bolton, who lives at 3435
Brown street N.W., will sail from
New York on July 9.

son lies on the street and reaches beneath an automobile to
press his fingers against a cut on the throat of his son Bruce in
an attempt to check the flow of blood after the boy was hit and
pinned under the car yesterday. Twenty men lifted the heavy
car to free the 8-year-old boy.
Still holding the bleeding boy’s neck after he was freed, his
father frantically asks about the ambulance bystanders had
called. Although the child was struck and run over and was
pinned to the street by the car’s differential, he was well on the
road to recovery today. He was treated for concussion, a leg
fracture and the cut on his throat. —AP Wirephotos.

Presbyterians to Act
Today on Four-PoiM
Plan for Labor Peace
By Caspar Nannes
Star Staff Corrupondant
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., May 28.
—The Social Education and Action
Committee of the Presbyterian
Church in the U. S. A. will present
to the General Assembly of the de
nomination today a four-point pro
gram aimed at bringing industry
and labor “closer to the goal of
industrial peace based on justice.”
The recommendations are con
tained in a broad program dealing
with national and international
problems to be submitted today by
the committee to the final session
of the General Assembly’s 159th
annual meeting. It was originally
scheduled for presentation and ac
tion yesterday.
The steps advocated by the com
mittee for industrial and labor peace
called for the strengthening of col
lective bargaining procedures, strong
and responsible labor unions, the
elimination of racial and religious
discrimination for jobs and the
raising of general living standards.
The latter included the raising of
national minimum wage levels, ex
tension of the social securitv nrn
gram, wider availability of “ade
quate medical and hospital services,’’
and equal educational opportunities
for all children, “through Federal
aid, if necessary."
Declaring the “American family is
the foundation of our civilization,”
the committee declared a “critical
housing shortage" imperils this
basis of our society and called on
the House Banking and Currency
Committee to report the Taft
Ellender-Wagner Housing Bill for
immediate passage. It also urged
the denomination’s General Assem
bly to commend the chairman of the
Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency for his pledge to do “all
he can to bring the housing bill up
promptly in the Senate.” '
The General Assembly also will
act today on'the committee’s rec
ommendation that “100,000 refugees
and displaced persons” be admitted
each year for the next four years
into the United States. It further
advocated the participation by the
United States in the international
refugee organization of the United
Nations, indorsing the appropria
tion of the $71,000,000 share assigned
to the United States.
Full and vigorous participation in
the United Nations by the United
States was approved by the com
mittee.
“We deplore*the widesnread denial
of human rights in Spain,” the re
port said in its section on human
rights. The committee charged the
Protestant minority in Spain” is be
ing persecuted, has been denied the
right of public worship and of hold
ing civil service appointments in
public schools and government."
The committee condemned “this
policy as undemocratic, a direct af
front to freedom of conscience and
a purposeful attempt to eliminate
the faithful remnant of the Protes
tant reformation in Spanish life."

Survey to Determine
Health,Housing Needs
In Some D. C. Areas
Hie health and housing needs of
the District will be determined by a
survey of certain limited areas by
the Public Health Engineering Bu
reau of the District Health Depart
ment, it was announced today.
Emil A. Tiboni, consultant to the
Committee on Hygiene of Housing,
American Public Health Association,
has been assigned to the Health
Department to assist in preparing
the survey. After a consultation
with Mr. Tiboni, the inspectors of
the bureau will embark on a training
project preparatory to making the
survey.
The present project is a result of
the report submitted by Dr. C. E. A.
Winslow as director of the Health
and Hospital Survey made last year
and will be included as an extension
of the engineering bureau’s block
by-block program of clean-up activ
ities and improvement of living
quarters. Some of the factors in
volved in the present limited survey
will be an assessment of the health,
housing and community needs.
"The co-operation of those people
living in the areas, yet to be
selected, will be solicited at a later
date,” William H. Cary, jr„ director
of the engineering bureau, said.
"The areas selected will be circular
ized prior to the beginning of the
actual survey.
“People living in the areas selected
for the actual survey should not be
alarmed if and when surveyors
appear at the home. The survey is
merely a means of * determining
which areas have the most urgent
health needs. The co-operation
given the inspectors will be re
flected in the survey results, and
the possible benefits that will accrue
to the people living in the areas.”
Similar types of surveys have been
conducted in Philadelphia, Milwau
kee, Los Angeles, New Haven, Conn.;
St. Louis and several other places,
Mr. Cary Baid.
