Senate Passes Pension Bill For Congressmen
The Senate approved and sent to President Eisenhower a bill to liberalize pensions for all members of Congress and their staff via a 61 to 39 vote. Critics argued the plan is unfair to about 2 million other government workers and would allow higher benefits without extra contributions. The measure bases pensions on average salary since 1946 and credits military service up to five years, with population pegged at 200000 in 1953.
