Rayburn Forecasts
Quick House OK on
Postal Pay Boost
Sam Rayburn, speaker of the
House of Representatives, told the
National Association of Post
masters in convention at the,
Statler Hotel today that in his,
opinion the House would approve
this week a reasonable increase in
salaries.
He also told them that he
thought that there would be an
increase in postal rates, both of
which statements brought pro
longed applause.
Mr. Rayburn, like officials from
the Post Office Department who
were on the program todSy, took
time in his speech to condemn
those he said were trying to de
stroy the confidence of the Ameri
can people in their Government.
Should Be “Whip-Lashed.”
Speaker Rayburn declared that
he was deeply concerned and dis
tressed at the way in which some
men in public life are accusing
other people.
"They should be whip-lashed
from public life," said the Speaker.
“They should be stopped from
tearing down better men and
women than they are."
Osborne Pearson, Assistant Post
master General, said there is a
segment of people who are trying
to drag the postal department into
disrepute. Without naming any
one he implied that the charges'
were coming from Congress, and
that the people should remove!
those who, he said, are telling]
falsehoods concerning the postal
service. He praised the work of
Postmaster General Donaldson
and said that if the attackers win
their fight, Mr Donaldson would
be the last career Postmaster Gen
eral they would ever have.
Hoover Is Denounced.
Another assistant postmaster
general. Walter Myers, attacked
former President Hoover for al
leging. he said, that the Post Office
Department was corrupt. Mr,
Myers said that of all the Presi
dents this Nation has had, Mr.
Hoover was the weakest.
Mr. Myers said that because
President Truman put the one-a
day mail delivery into effect, he
was criticized, abused and villifled
by those who did not have a better
suggestion.
Edward Foley, assistant secre
tary of the Treasury, spoke on the
defense bond program, many de
tails of which are handled in the
post offices. He spoke in the place
of Secretary of the Treasury John
W. Snyder, who was unable to re
turn from Ottawa in time to ful
fill his engagement.

On Super Bombers
By the Associated Press
ATLANTA, Sept. 19.—Ain Force
lawyers are studying Georgia’s
demand that the State’s 3 per
cent sales tax be paid on super
bombers built or reconditioned
at the nearby Marietta plant.
Revenue Commissioner Charlie
Redwine has notified the Lock
heed Aircraft Corp., which oper
ates the huge project, that it
must pay the levy on equipment
purchased for construction and
rehabilitation of the bombers.
The matter has been referred
to Air Force attorneys, said D. J.
Haughton, assistant general man
ager at the plant. He said yester
day he hoped the two State and
Federal Governments could work
out some agreement on the de
mands.
"If we buy a lot of materials
for the United States Govern
ment and have to pay a State
tax on it, it will run up the cost
to the Federal Government,” he
added.
Mr. Redwine said Lockheed is
a private contractor and there
fore subject to the sales tax.
