Postal Deficit By BRUCE BIOSSAT Bills to rescind the Post Office department's recent cuts in mail ser vice await floor action in both houses of Congress. But the lawmakers might better devote their energy to something else, for these measures won't mean anything even should they become law. The reason is simple: Congress won't provide the money needed to restore the service reductions. In fact, the department in all like lihood will enter the 1956-51 fiscal year with its budget somewhat trimmed. It's another case of the legisla- ' tors trying to have their cake and eat it, too. Post office deficits are chronic. The Congress never has faced up to the problem of how to put the department on a con sistently paying basis. This year postal operations are $545,000,000 in the red. If the cuts ordered by Postmast er General Donaldson serve to stir the public enough to push the law makers toward some real solution, they may be a good thing. Even though, according to an early sur vey of the effects of the changes, a considerable number of business firms are suffering. The reductions in service them selves are certainly no solution. At best it was hoped they would chop $30,000,000 off operating costs, but experience to date suggests the saving may be substantially less. The big money losers in the de partment are the second, third and fourth class mail services hand ling, respectively, newspapers and magazines, advertising circulars, and parcel post, Only first class mail and postal sayings earn their way. Each of these red-ink services ought to be examined closely by Clean Up Day South Deer Creek Grange will hold clean-up day Monday night, June 26, at 7 o'clock at the hall.

All .types of sewing will be on hand and every member interested in I helping is asked to be present, I Needs Study Congress with a view to streamlin ing it and getting it onto the most efficient basis possible. Wherever they apply, the recommendations of the Hoover Commission should be adopted. If such revamping does not pro duce the economies needed to wipe out the deficits in these categories, then Congress would seem to have no choice but to raise rates so op erations can get into the black. Any other course amounts to flat acknowledgement that Congress is prepared to carry the Post Office Department indefinitely as a cum bersome, inefficient giant that can not earn its salt. If the lawmakers should surprise by really buckling down to this task, they ought also to end for all time the absurd fiction of "air mail subsidies" to the airlines. American civil aviation may need subsidy to survive; that's a prob lem of another sort. But what is thought wise for the airlines has nothing to do wilh running the air mail service, which should func tion according to costs and stand ards suitable to its own special nature.

I'm just so hopelessly behind the times as to think that if you keep on spending more than you take in the time will come when you will wish you hadn't.) a e THIS one is from South Carolina; "Federal retirement pay drawn by former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes was injected into the South Carolina governor's race yesterday. "Lesicr L. Bates, one of Byrnes' three opponents for the governor ship in the Democratic primary, declared that Byrnes draws $6, 637.08 a year in a federal pension. Bates said the money, no doubt, is deserved and is being put to a good use. 'But,' he added, 'the regrettable thing is that all our people can not be provided for in the samcproportion as the poli ticians provide for themselves.' " a a THAT'S a crack at the fact that under the federal retirement pay system our politicians are pretly well provided for when they "retire" which means when they get defeated for re-election, for no politician ever retires for any other reason. In fairness, it ought to be added that they put up a fair-sized chunk of the money themselves by deduc tions from their salaries while they are still in office. a e a THIS week's big politics news is the statement by Ohio's Demo cratic Governor Frank J. Lausche that he hasn't made up his mind yet whether he will vote .for Ohio's incumbent Senator TMt in Novem ber or for Taft's Democratic op ponent for the sonatorship! That, by any accepted political standard, is HERESY, and snice Taft is a national figure Democrats all over the country are wondering what the heck this guy Lausche is up to. a a a WELL, he MIGHT be so com pletely sincere as lo believe that Taft is the best man for the state of Ohio and for the nation. The political slant on the inci dent, however, seems to be that Lausche has decided that Taft is going to bo overwhelmingly re elected and he might as well make political medicine for himself by climbing on Taft's bandwagon NOW. Politics is a great game. Banquet Closes DUV Convention The .V-'nd annual convention of Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War closed Wednesday evening at a banquet in the dining room of the 1.

New Tax Bill Is Assailed By G. O. P. Leaders By FRANCIS M. LeMAY WASHINGTON, June 23. (. House Republican leader Martin of Massachusetts has called his policy committee to a huddle to map party strategy on what he called the "phony" new tax bill. Some Republicans, privately de scribing the bill as "political dyna mite," said they will vote for it de spite misgivings about some of its features. The vote is expected next week. The measure would slash excise taxes an estimated $1,010,000,000 on fur coats, jewelry, luggage, cosmet ics, movie tickets, travel tickets, telephone bills and scores of other items. It would make up the excise revenue loss to a large degree by new taxes on big corporations. Rep. Kean (R-NJ), member ofi the ways and means commi'tce, said: "This bill reduces the tax un luxuries and transfers the tax bur den to necessities." Martin told newsmen "it is a kind of phony tax reduction bill. True, it gives relief to some taxpayers but at the same time it makes taxes much more burdensome on others." The GOP leader and many other Republicans, as well as Democrats, have been battling for reduction of the wartime excise taxes to make up the revenue loss, the excise re lief should be accompanied by re duction in government spending. Spending Cut Favored Ways and means committee chairman Doughton (D-NC), the top Democratic tax manager, takes the view also that the $633,000,000 boost in taxes on big corporations goes too far. He said that he would rath er see a reduction of government spending, to save money. He is go ing to pilot through the House the bill approved by the committee, however, since it apparently is the only way now to get excises cut. The measure applies increased tax rates only to corporations earn ing $167,000 or more a year, while reducing the tax burden for cor porations earning between $5,000 and $167,000. Kean said that this actually will mean that the smaller corporations will get a tax reduction of about $267,000,000 and the largest corpora tions, that' produce about 75 per cent of the nation's goods, will have to pay about $700,000,000 more a year. To make up the higher taxes, the New Jersey member said, the prices of food and other necessities will rise. "It is a good political bill, look ing at it on the surface," he said, "but the impact on the cost of liv ing might be serious." Canyonville Appoints Nimmo As Police Chief At the regular meeting of the Canyonville city council Tuesday night Ted Nimmo was appointed chief of police for the city. He has been acting patrolman for about a year here. Canyonville has been without a police chief for about six weeks since the resignation of Harry Howard.
