Pension Fund Strains Police Retirement Plans
Reports say many officers were to retire to ease overtaxing the police pension fund established in 1908. The fund, funded by 2 percent of salaries and 10 percent of rewards, held about 7000 dollars after 12 retirements last year. Recent retirements of top officials threaten the fund, with 18 officers on 20-year service and retirees awaiting funds, prompting fear of postponed retirements.

Germans Seek Modification On Coal Delivery Pact

They plan to seek changes in the protocol terms, notably over a clause that would allow Rohr valley occupation if 6,000,000 tons of coal are not delivered by October 15. Dr Walter Simons said the subject had not been raised in prior talks. The Germans were reportedly upset by its inclusion in yesterday’s note.
