Cuiting Service Is Simple Way
To Cut Post Office Deficit
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
(Second of Two Dispatches)
WASHINGTON, — (NEA) — When Postmaster
General Jesse Donaldson ordered his drastic cuts in
postal services he cut a Gordian knot.
During the long years of a growing postal deficit
not one of the thousands of suggestions to put the
P. O. in the black offered this startlingly simple
solution,
If the taxpayer doesn’t want to pay for fancy
postal services, don’t give them to him, At least the
problem is out in the open now, .on a brand new
bhesis, For the first time in over 100 years of grow=
ing postal deficits the public has a chance to exam
ine the question on a realistic basis.
Donaldson’s cuts in service are in anticipation of
proposed Congressional budget cuts for next year,
They won't wipe out the deficit entirely. But they
show the way, Here they are, summnrarized:
There will be one delivery a day instead of two,
Some business districts will continue to get two. No
mail will be collected from letter boxes after 8:30
p. m. There will only be one parcel post delivery a
day to both residential and business districts. Win
dow service will be provided only between 8 a. m.
and 6 p. m. at main offices. Branch offices will be
closed earlier,
No large batches of mail will be accepted over
post office loading platforms after six in the even
ing except first class mail, air mail and newspapers,
Directory service, locating the right address if an
incorrect one is on the envelope, is now out.
SEE LITTLE REAL INCONVENIENCE
There are other details in the order but those are
the ones the citizens will see in operation first
hand. And except for maybe having to wait one
half or a day longer for a letter, making sure you
put the proper address on a letter, and getting to
the post office earlier to buy stamps, the cuts aren’t
going to be a drastic hardship on anybody, postal
authorities claim.
Just how far these reduced services will go to
wards eliminating this year’s postal deficit of $545
million isn’t made clear. But if the whole deficit is
to be wiped out by eliminating unprofitable services
it would involve scrapping air mail, special deliv=
ery, money orders and low rates for newspapers
and magazines. The alternative is to raise rates for
all these losing services, And that brings the tax
payer back to the chronic disputes over the postal
deficit which have been going on for years.
All of the magazines and most of the newspapers
in the U. S. enjoy the benefits of low-rate second
class mail, The theory of this costly service is that
the dissemination of news and educetional matter
is in the best interest of the government as a whole
and should be subsidized.
The publishers say that it is the taxpaying reader
who enjoys the benefits, Somre publishers have also
advanced the potent argument that if the second
class rates were raised to where the government
would make money, it would be cheaper to have
some private agency distribute their magazines or
papers. Why should they finance an inefficient
government service?
AIR MAIL COST SUBSIDIZES AIR LINES
The cost of air mail is another old one. Nobody
kxfows the actual cost of flying a letter to its desti
nation. The post office is charged enough for the
service to give the air lines a profit each -guarter.
It’s a plain subsidy to the air lines and everybody
admits it. But you've still got that postal deficit.
Still another group of suggestions for helping the
post office out of the red by modernizing its meth
ods comes from the Hoover Commrission. They in
clude taking the appointment of postmasters out of
politicis, decentralizing the post office into 15 reg
ions, introducing businesslike principles of budget
ing and accountlng, simplifying postal laws and
regulations and giving the post office authority to
raise rates for special services to make them profit
able,
A start has been made toward putting some of
these suggestions into practice. But there is still the
question of how much money they will actually
gave. And they don’t solve the basic problems of
putting the post office on a paying basis.
In the last analysis it will be up to Congress to
make the decision. As it stands now, proposed
"udget cuts will force Donaldson’s new orders into
elfect. But there are also a couple of bills pending
which wouid force Donaldson to rescind his order,
without providing any money for it, however. It is
the prediction of all who are close to the problem
that the cuts will stick and that U. S. citizens will
have to be content with the reduced service,

nent peace.—General Omar N. Bradley.
Congress Hums Budget Blues;
Hoover Plans May Be Answer
A hopeful congressional experiment, the single
package federal budget bill, apparently is doomed
to failure after a one-year try.
When leaders of both houses agreed to wrap all
appropriations into one huge measure, they did so
in the belief it nright save money and valuable time.
The theory was that the lawmakers would gain a
much clearer notion of how and where to econo
mize if they could see the whole budget pattern
rather than isolated fragments. It was felt also that
the plan would permit wiser decisions on taxation
needs.
Some time ago House money experts voiced dis
appointment over the actual operation of the idea.
Now Senator Lucas of Illinois, Democratic leader in
the Senate, has taken the same tack.
Rep. John Taber, New York Republican, put it
most bluntly for the House side. “It’s a lemon,” he
declared, House leaders found it took just about as
long to whip the single package appropriation into
shape and steer it to passage as the old individual
money bills required.
Debate on the House floor, plus consideration of
countless amendments, consumed four weeks. Man
agers of the bill said too many House members be
came bored at this lengthy study of a single sub
ject. Attendance suffered and important parts of
the bill didn't get the careful attention they de
served,
The feeling is that budget affairs will get better
consideration when they are served up in smaller
morsels interspersed with more varied legislative
{fare,
Though the omnibus measure won't reach the
Senate floor for a few weeks at least, Senate leaders
expect the same month-long review of the bill
there. They aren’t anticipating this monopoly of the
Senate calendar.
Because the new plan has not speeded up the ap
propriations process, Congress probably will have
to resort once more to its now familiar device of
passing interim resolutions to keep federal agencies
going until the money is voted.
The practical difficulties encountered by the sin
gle package bill constitute a hard fact of life for
those who saw in it a réal ‘chance to streamline
budget-making.
No easier to swallow is the conviction of experi
enced appropriations men that the omnibus bill’s
unwieldy character makes substantial economies no
more likely than under the old system.
A simplified budget procedure looks no closer
than in 1949. Possibly we must look for progress
first at the real starting point—the framing of bud
get estimrates by the various departments, Yet it’s
hard to imagine that their product will be any sinr
pler until the agencles themselves are simpler in
form and function,
The dilemma of Congress over the budget would
seem in the end to be another argument for putting
into effect the 14 major plans for government re
organization proposed by the Hoover Commission
but still on the sheif,
Reorganization is no guarantee of economy, But
certainly confusion and haphazard growth in gov
ernment are an effective barrier to saving.
Take Soviet Interest in Grain
Trade With a Grain of Salt
We certainly can't take at face value the Rus
sians’ display of interest in a general European
grain agreement. Yet neither can the West turn a
cold shoulder to the Soviet Union.
Moscow’s views should be thoroughly explored.
And if a pact providing for East-West grain trade
can be arrived at, it might serve as an opening step
toward revival of economic ties between these two
sectors of the Continent, ‘
There probably would be slight harm in this—
and might be much gooti—so long as the western
nations never forgot that to the Russians such an
agreement might be no more than a temporary tac
tical maneuver. Most likely that’s all it is, but we
still shouldn’t slam the door they have opened a
crack.
Even though the West right now isn't desperate
for Russian grains, any flow of materials between
East and West must be welcomed. The two parts
of Europe naturally complement each other eco
nomically, the eastern section being predominantly
agricultural and the western chiefly industrial,
The cold war, however, has reduced this flow to
a trickle, Fearful of its security, the United States
has banned shipment of materials to the East that
might some day be used in a war against us. It has
insisted that Marshall Plan countries impose a sim
ilar restriction.
The Soviet Union, for its part, has choked off the
natural westward movement of goods produced by
its eastern satellites and has compelled them to
weave their economiles into the Russian fabric. It
has made foreign trade merely an instrument of
Soviet policy, to the grave disadvantage of Rus
sia’s “friends” behind the Iron Curtain, |
Today the West is trying to become relatively
self-sufficient sgriculturally, while the East seeks‘
similar independence industrially. The spectacle of
wasteful duplication is saddening to all who want
a healthy Europe.
Many well-meaning citizens eager to remedy the
situation have thrown all the blame for the trade
impasse on the U, 8. Certainly we have contributed
to it. But it was not we who launched the cold war, }
who refused to co-operate in general European re
covery and the conclusion of badly needed peace
treaties for Germany and Austria.

Poor Man's Philosopher On
American Video In Lethargie
BY HAL BOYLE |
NEW YORK— (AP) --Is the‘
theory of the American melting
pot wrong? l
Dr. Rachel Davis-Dubois, a
south New Jersey Quaker who
has poineered in developirg tech
niques for intercultural relations,
believes it erred in one respect.
The melting pot theory, as it
was interpreted years ago,” she
said, “meant that people coming
here would cut themselves off
from their cultural pasts.
“There was a pressure to think‘
alike, do alike, and be alike. That
would make our American culture
thin indeed.”
Created Tension ‘
And what troubled Mrs. Dubois
most was that children of minori
ty groups grew up secretly or
openly ashamed of the ways and
customs of their parents. This
created tension at home and at
school.
The answer? Mrs., Dubois felt it
lay in creating a feeling of pride
in the child for his own cultural
background, and a feeling of re
spect for the differing cultures of
others.
She got an opportunity to test
her beliefs in action several years
ago at P. S. 165, a public school
in upper west Manhattan attended
by children of 48 different nation
alities. it was a tension aresa, and
e melting pot wasn’t melting
very well. After two children were
killed near the school, the arous
ed Parent-Teachers Association
asked Dr. Dubois for help.

er's background, the tension would
be reduced,” she said.
But how to do it? Preaching tol
erance to children doesn’t work
any better than preaching it to
grownups. Dr. Dubois’ solution
was “the parranda.”
“The parranda in Puerto Rico,”’
she explained, “is a kind of pro
gressive party in which people go
from one house to another.”

She worked out a program un

After each parranda the chil

classes what they have learned.
The parrandas have proved so
popular with both children and
parents that Mrs. Dubois has un

other tension area school.
Here is what a few students
have written about the parrandas
in their own school paper:

a much happier man today. This
is Mr. Duncan’s experience in
his own words:
“I was working in mz field
early this sprin% and I got tired,
nervous, so I sat down to rest, I
began thinking of the past anq
my ailments.
“I felt drowsy, sluggish, tired
and was rather nervous most of
the time. I didn’t eat much at
regular meals. My wife thought
that she had lost her art in
cooking.
“I got to thinking of HADA
COL, then using it. So I went to
our country grocery store and
bought myself & bottle. The
third morning I ate 8 biscuits
for breakfast. When I went for
my second bottle, there were
several of my friends buying
HADACOL too. I bought 2 hot
tles for some friends and told
them if it didn’t help them it
wouldn't cost them anythini. A
week later I saw them and they
paid me my money.
“I would recommend HADA
COL to anyone, regardless of
age or ailment, who is suffering
from such deficiencies.”
