after he reaches the age of 70 years and until he has served six
calendar quarters in service, after July 1, 1956 or until he has served
the minimum number of calendar quarters for him to qualify for

manner any other requirement as to attendance, satisfactory per-
formance or other working or employment requirements concern-
ing such employees.
