The Federal Spotlight Employe Groups Drafting Plans For Earlier Retirement Age By Joseph Young Government employes groups are worKing on plans to seeK an earlier retirement age in the Federal service. Proposals will be made that the present retirement ages of 60 and 62 be reduced to 55.

Not that employes would be able to retire automatically when tney reacnea oo. umy mose workers whose health and physical condition are such that they are not able to work efficiently at their Jobs would De reurea wun a full annuity. At present, union officials point out, employes in this category must either retire on a reduced pension continue hang on to their i position, even though they are in really no condition to work. This reacts adversely. not only against the em Joseph Yount.

ploye, but against tne emciency oi the Federal service, the union officials contend. The recent legislation making Federal enforcement agents eligible for retirement at 50 has given union officials what they believe is the opening wedge in their drive. It remains to be seen whether they will be successful. In the past, the Civil Service Commission and Congress have been cool to the idea. But next year promises a new political lineup, and the Federal enforcement agents legislation has set a precedent.

Consequently, Government employes' groups are hopeful that something can be done a reminder to Government employes that they will get a three-day holiday week end over July 4th. GOING employment continues to increase in Washington. An additional 400 Governmept employes were hired here during June, bringing Washington's Federal employment to 202,800. Nationally, ithe Government's payroll increased by 15.000 to a new total of 1.826,200 employes in the continental United States. Most of the gains here were made in the National Military Establishment and the Economic Co-operaj tion Administration.

Incidentally, Government officials expect employ! ment here to increase further in the months to come. UNFINISHED leaving for North Dakota, Chairman Langer of the Senate Civil Service Committee told committee members its "first order of business next will be the consideration of the maternity leave legislation. Senator Langer was disappointed over his failure to win Senate passage of the measure during the last week of the session. The bill would have gotten through the Senate but for the objection of Senator Williams, Republican, of Delaware. Senator Langer told his colleagues he believes the measure can be enacted into law next year.

It would grant 60 days of maternity leave with pay to expectant mothers in the Government. Government oificials confide that the civil service career system will fare very well under Gov. Dev.ey of New York, if he is elected President. Gov. Dewey has been an interested student of Government career service for a number of years and has instituted many civil service reforms in his own State of New York.

Incidentally, Gov. Dewey might be expected to select at least one of the three New York State civil service commissioners for the Federal Civil Service Commission, if he won the presidency. The New York State Commissioners are J. Edward Conwav, Louis E. Gerry and Alexander A.

Falk. SAME awhile it appeared legislative employes would get a $363 a year raise, instead of the $330 pay boost all other classified Federal employes wdll get. This is because, in former years, legislative employes also got an additional 10 per cent boost in lieu of overtime. George D. Riley, staff director of ithe Senate Civil Service Committee, says this won't be the case this time, however.

Legislative employes will get $330. the same as everybody else, Mr. Riley says. Additional news of Government Affairs and Personalities make up Joseph Young's broadcast version of the Federal Spotlight at 3:15 p.m. every Sunday on WMAL.

Roosevelt believed the Japanese were about to strike at British or Dutch possessions and sweep onward without attacking the United States, and even if the United States to war to stop it, she probably would do so half-heartedly after long delay. 2. If this aggression did not provoke us into war, as seemed likely, what would be the effect on the British, Russian, the Axis. Forced to "Put Up or Shut "The plain fact was that the moment was imminent when the United States would be forced at gun point either to put up or forever shut Mr. Sherwood wrote and went on: "There was just one thing that the Japanese could do to get Roosevelt completely off the horns of the dilemma, and that is precisely what they did, at one stroke, in a manner so challenging, so insulting and enraging, that the divided and confused American people were in-! stantly rendered unanimous and: certain.

Hopkins wrote later of the President's great relief at the method the Japanese used in starting the war at Pearl School for Fishermen Opened in Mexico Alvarado, Mexican fishing center in Veracruz, has opened a school for fishermen.
