The speaker was Langdon P. Marvin, jr., member of the Postal Affairs Task Force of the Citizens’ Committee for the Hoover Report. He spoke at the Washington Ho tel before the National Associa tion of Letter Carriers, Postal Transport Association. Post Office Mail Handlers and American Fed eration of Government Employes. Target for Mr. Marvin's attack was reduction of mail service to one delivery daily, threatened lay off of postal employes and so called “concealed subsidies” paid to airlines from Post Office funds. Cut in Service Due Saturday. Cut in mail service has been scheduled for Saturday as an economy move on order of Post master General Donaldson. “There is no use beating the Postmaster General,” the speaker declared. "He is a fine man and a very able one with more postal experience than any one in Wash ington. His hands are tied by a huge $500 million-a-year deficit. “If we citizens who are indig nant at having our mail deliveries cut from twice to once a day and slowed down by other cur tailments,” he continued, “and if the postal employes who are in dignant at the proposed' layoffs . . . turn our indignation into constructive channels, we can re duce enormously that postal deficit and make unnecessary the cut in mail service.” 3 Senate Bills Cited. As a means to this work in constructive channels, Mr. Marvin pointed to three Senate bills which would: 1. Create a modern accounting system in the department. 2. Place the “politically ap pointed” postmaster under the merit system. 3. Separate the “concealed sub sidies now paid to the airlines out of the Post Office.” * “I find nothing in these three measures nor in the report of the Hoover Commission which calls for a curtailment in mail service to the public,” Mr. Marvin said. “We feel that the threatened reductions of mail service are the wrong way to go about it. “In putting the bills through Congress, we will have a willing helper in Postmaster General Donaldson,” the speaker asserted. However, William C. Doherty, president of the Letter Carriers’ Association, was bitter about the Donaldson order. He said that "as far as the national association is concerned, after Donaldson they never want to see another career Pastmaster General.

The new British proposal, pre sented to th? Marshall Plan’s Or ! ganization for European Economic ! Co-operation in Paris yesterday, provides for Britain’s entry into the union as a full member "with certain allowances” for sterling as an international currency, he said. The allowances were less string ent than those originally proposed. It was understood here that OEEC's first informal reaction to the proposal was favorable. Seeks to Encourage Trade. The European Payments Union is a grand design for encourag ing freer European trade and lib eralizing international payment of debts. Americans and others have ac cused Britain in the past of drag ging 4ts feet on such schemes for economic integration of Europe. The payment plan fits into the dominating theme of the Western Big Three and Atlantic pact for eign ministers' conferences on welding the West s economic and defense resources into a solid wall against communism. Experts Study Problem. The Treasury spokesman said the new British proposal repre sents a substantial advance from Britain's earlier position. He said he could not go into the "allow ances" which the British outline contains, because it was in the hands of OEEC experts in Paris for a decision. They will meet again Tuesday, he said, after studying the complexities of the whole problem. Originally Britain proposed en tering the EPU on a special status. Its contention was that sterling is quite different from any other currency in that vast amounts of it are used internationally be tween other countries without the United Kingdom figuring in the deals. Fully 50 per cent of world trade is conducted in sterling, the Treasury spokesman said, and ob viously not all that is done by the United Kingdom. * CRISP f v V CALIFORNIA \ CARROTS / Here’s one of your favorites at a real price.
