WHEREAS the Civil Service of the United. States is today seriously hampered because of the fact that a large number of men and women are on its pay rolls who are no longer able, on account of the ravages of disease and old age, to perform a reasonable day's work. To dismiss them from the service would be cruel and iauman and in many in- stances like sentencing them to death.
