CONTAINS CHLORDANE GUARANTEED TO KILL Congress OKs Reserve Law Amendment AUSTIN, May 6-rFpurth Army headquarters was notified today that both houses of Congress have approved an amendment to the Uniform Services Contingency Option Act of 1953. The amendment provides that members, other than those in a retirement status, who have completed 18 years of service for pay purposes, will have until Oct. 31. 1954 to indicate their desire participate in the provisions of the Act. Early signature by the President is anticipated.

Any member who has previously submitted an election form indicating that he did not desire to elect an option, is not prohibited from submitting a new election prior to Nov. 1,1954. The law, as originally enacted, established April 30, 1954, as the original deadline date, which will still apply for those in a retired status. The Uniform Services Contingency Option Act of 1953 provides that the service member or retired person may elect to draw a reduced amount of retired pay In return for annuities in the amount of one- half, one-fourth, or one-eighth of the reduced amount of the service member's retired pay. Upon the death of the retired person who had made such an election, annuity payments are made to his surviving spouse until remarriage or death and to his surviving children until they reach majority or recover from disability.

All personnel on active duty must make an election to set up an annuity under the Act prior to the completion of 18 years of military service or will lose their opportunity to participate in the program.
