Governor 6 plans trip Is McCall eligible for pension plan! McCall said he favored making the retirement age 65, instead of 62. Under the repealed plan, McCall would start collecting his pension three months after leaving office in 1975. That's when he'll be 62. The governor doesn't plan to sponsor legislation for another governors' retirement program, but he said he strongly believes there should be a program adopted in the 1973 session. "The state has an obligation to provide for its governors when they retire," he said.

"We can't let them go on welfare or become bartenders." SALEM, Ore. (AP)-Gov. Tom McCall will attend the winter Republican Governors Conference in Phoenix, next week. I He will leave Saturday and return Wednesday. It will be the last time the Senate President will act as governor.

The constitutional amendment changing the line of succession and eliminating the need of an acting governor SALEM, Ore. (AP) Although Oregon voters repealed the governors' pension plan in November, Gov. Tom McCall plans to continue his contributions. 'Tm not sure whether I get it," McCall said of the $13,275 annually the governors' retirement act would provide to him at age 62. "But I think there ought to be legal adjudication." The repeal is effective Dec.

7. That's when former Gov. Robert Holmes, who served from 1957-59, will stop receiving a $7,875 annual pension. The 1971 legislature enacted the plan, primarily to benefit Holmes, the only governor now collecting. Oregon's other living former governor, U.S.

Sen. Mark Hatfield, is 50. Holmes and Hatfield did not contribute to the plan, but McCall has been paying 7 per cent of his salary, $2,055 annually, into the pension fund. Some legal authorities say McCall, because of his contributions, has a vested interest in the plan that cannot be revoked by a repeal. Robert Davis, a lawyer and McCall's executive assistant, says he has consulted with Atty.

Gen. Lee Johnson and they agree that a previous attorney general's opinion would apply to McCall and make him eligible. Johnson, however, has not issued a formal opinion. Davis says he anticipates that an opinion will be sought during the 1973 legislative session. If the opinion rules that McCall is eligible to receive a pension, that would be law, unless challenged in the courts.

Despite the $13,275 annual amount McCall would get, he says, "It's not a good pension." "I would be willing to take less in exchange for a decent pension," he said. "The greatest omission of the plan" was any consideration for the wife, McCall says. Most pension plans provide a reduced amount for a widow, but there is no such provision in the repealed retirement act. The governor said he would support a proposal that would provide a monthly pension of $100 to $150 per month for each year of service. That would give McCall $9, 600 to $14,400 per year, if he serves a full eight years.

His constitutional limit of two terms expires in 1974. McCall, noting that only two governors in Oregon's history have served two full terms, said, "A pension plan is never going to cost the taxpayer mils, let alone pennies."
