Long-Time
Lawmakers
Can Retire
WASHINGTON (UP! I - It Is
sometimes said that many mem
bers of Congress could make more
money in private business. But
there is a smaU croup of lawmak
ers who might collect about $30 a
weeK by not working at all.
,-The group consists of nine Sen
ate. and House members who have
served in Congress for 32 years
or more. If they have contributed
to the congressional pension sys
tem for all their service these
members could collect $18,000 a
year. That would be 80 per cent
of their present $22,500 govern
ment salaries.
Actually, any congressman re
tiring now at $18,000 probably
would have more income after
taxes than if lie continued on the
job at full pay. This is because
the lawmakers like otliers un
der similar retirement systems
do not pay income taxes on their
benefits until they have drawn out
the full amount they contributed
Under Civil Service
Congressmen were brought into
the federal civil service pension
system in 1946. As a result, none
has paid into the fund longer than
17 years. However, members who
held other federal jobs before
coming to Congress can have such
service credited to their record
by making retroactive contribu
tions.
Sen. Carl Hayden, D-Ariz., is at
, the top of the list of congressmen
who are in line to collect the maxi
mum pension, provided he has
met all the requirements. Hay-
den's 51 years of service 15 in
the House and 36 In the Senate
means he had completed 34
years in Congress before mem
bers even were brought into the
. retirement plan.
Hayden won a new six-year term
last fall and gives no indication
he is thinking of retirement.
Others In Club
. Other members of the elite 32
year club are Reps. Carl Vinson,
O-Ga., 48 years: Sen. Lister Hill,
D-Ala., 40 years (House and Sen
ate i; end Reps. Clarence Can
non, D-Mo., 40 years; Emanuel
Celler. D-N. Y., 40 years; Joseph
W. Martin, R-Mass., 38 years;
Speaker John W. McCormack. D
Mass., 34 years; Rep. Wright Pat
man, D-Tex., 34 years; and How
ard W. Smith. D-Va., 32 years.
Of course, these nine veterans
are not the only congressmen who
could collect pensions If they re
tired now. The plan provides a
long list of options, some of which
permit retirement as young as 50
with reduced benefits.
