DAILY NEWS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1959 C5 Weiffare-'Steffff-- Klrees a Men tm hi tes as an' auto. I ride the subway; I can't -afford a car on my salary." McCarthy's pension, after less than 10 years of service with the city, will come to about $4,000 a year. With his new salary, he will have an annual income of $34,000. Another employe told The News that the Idea of buying an auto for McCarthy was thought up by the higher-paid administrative workers who were appointed to serve as a McCarthy farewell confmittee by New Welfare Commissioner James R. Dumpson, several weeks before Dumpson took office last Saturday.

She Says Phooey to Farewell A 'copy of Dumpson's official communique, listing administrative personnel selected to plan a big McCarthy sendoff, was sent to The News by an employe who had written one word across the directive "PHOOEY." The employes said they are being asked to to make "voluntary" contributions for the present, and corn-planned that the top personnel at the various centers are "competing with each other, at our expense, to turn in the biggest donations." The gift donations can be as low as a dime or a quarter from each of the 8,400 employes, but they are also being asked to pay $2.50 a ticket for a "farewell reception" from 4 to 7 P. M. on Sept. 14 at the Waldorf-Astoria's big Starlight Roof. The tickets note that refreshments will be served, but the $2.50 does not include cocktails which are "available," if you want to buy them.

Hired Hands Refuse to Buy 'Em Although many employes have already refused to buy the $2.50 tickets, the committee in charge apparently is not too concerned about filling up the Starlight Roof with welfare's rank and file employes. The News learned that private agencies, charities and committees on which McCarthy served whilo welfare commissioner are being asked to attend the farewell party, and are expected to send representatives. City officials also will help swell the crowd. By THEO WILSON" A plan to buy former Welfare Commissioner Henry. L.
