Commissioner Lochren Says He is Not Entitled to a Pension
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren filed an answer in mandamus proceedings brought by Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan in the District of Columbia. Lochren says Long’s pension of 72 dollars monthly is for total disability, but Long is not disabled and earns a large Michigan salary. The failure to appear before a pension examining board is cited to deny the mandamus, and Lochren argues the court lacks jurisdiction to compel a statutory act.
