Help Keep Postage Costs Down
It sometimes does seem that America
Is becoming so number conscious it may
someday identify its bullies numerically,
but despite all the criticism numbering
systems save money.
A case in point is the new ZIP-Code
lumbering system beinjr put into effect
July 1 by the U. S. Post Office Depart
ment. The Post Office Department has al
ways been a losing business. In other
words, it cost more to run it than is
taken in. This often doesn't bother the
People who run our governments, but the
pressure for a more efficient, and less
:ostly, operation has grown as the cost
if postage has gone up.
This new Zoning Improvement Plan is
Due of the most sweeping of the changes
made to cut back costs through greater
efficiency.
The pattern for it was started several
years ago when local zone numbers were
established in 109 cities of the country.
Now local zoning is being added to more
than a hundred other cities and individu
al code numbers have been established
for all other communities of the nation.
Each of Douglas County's post office de
livery areas now has such a number. In
the case of Roseburg, for example, the
individual number is 70. Winston's is 96;
Glide's is 43 and so on. All of the num-
bers for Douglas County postal areas are
preceded by a three-digit sectional num
ber 974. Thus, Roseburg's ZIP-Code
number is 97470.
A total 553 sectional centers have been
set up in the United States. Big mailers
:an sort their mail according to these sec
tional centers. This will cut down on han
dling at the post office and, theoretical
ly, speed the travel between ..origination
and destination points.
This step alone will save an estimat
d $15 million this next year, according
to Postmaster General J. Edward Day.
The price of bringing about this sav
ing rests with the mailer. He must get
into the habit of using the numbers.
He should start by putting his ZIP
Code number on his return address when
sending his letters. Then the receiver,
when answering will need only refer to
the return address which will include the
ZIP number. He can then include that
ZIP number on his answering mail.
The system appears to be coming on
suddenly, but the, Post Office Department
doesn't expect miracles in remembering
to include the code numbers. It has
launched an intensive educational cam
paign to make the mailing public ZIP
conscious. As the public becomes more
conscious of the use of the number, the
volume of letters so marked will continue
to climb. As that number grows, the cost
of processing letters will drop.
When the system becomes widespread,
mechanization will be installed in major
post offices. This will be designed to re
duce the number of new employes being
hired each year. (Day indicated it would
not lead to firing of present employes).
He sums the system up this way:
"Your cooperation today in putting Mr.
ZIP to work will in its simplest basic
terms push back the day when rates will
again have to increase."

with Prince Faisal, premier of
Saudi Arabia.
Egyptian Agreement
Out of this came Egyptian
agreement to withdraw its trooDs
from Yemen and Saudi Arabia
and Jordan agreement to cease
their aid to Yemen's deposed
Imam.
It also led to a U.N. decision to
send a peace-keeping team under
Yemen to make sure the agree
ments were carried out.
In the long-range, the United
States also sought to cut off what
rapidly was becoming an all-out
test of strength between Egypt
and Saudi Arabia.
Direct conflict between these
two held out almost limitless pos
sibilities, and in direct notice of
its own interest in the conflict,
the U.S. warned Egypt that any
attack on Saudi Arabia would set
it on collision course with the
United States.
Since there is reason to believe
that the Egyptians not only were
flying Russian planes in Yemen
but that some of them were flown
by Russian pilots, there then
came the possibility of another
U.S. confrontation with the Soviet
Union.
There the situation roughly
stands today.
The trouble with the overall
strategy seems to be that it reck

WASHINGTON WINDOW
Negro Effort
In Frankfurt, Germany, Presi
dent Kennedy tells a million cheer
ing Germans that the United States
will RISK ITS CITIES, if neces
sary, to defend its allies. He add
ed: "A threat to the freedom of
Europe is a threat to the free
dom of America.".
He continued:
"The Atlantic community is In
divisible. Hundreds of thousands of
our soldiers serve with yours on
tms continent as tanginie evidence
of that pledge. Those who would

to the men who make themselves
our adversaries and welcome any

Question:
Whom was he talking to?
The answer is rather plain. He
was talking to a gentleman named
DeGaulle.
This may be taken for granted:
This strange gentleman named
De Gaulle was undoubtedly listen
ing very carefully indeed to what
President Kennedy was saying in
Frankfurt, the ancient capital of
Germany.
He was watching and sizing up
the MILLION cheering Germans
who greeted President Kennedy
as he arrived in Frankfurt to make
the speech that was billed as the
MAJOR address of his 12-day tour
of West Germany, Berlin,' Ireland
and Britain.
He must have been saying to
himself: "What will these Ger
mans do? Will they stick with me,
in my proposal of a Europe for
Europeans? Or will they stick with
the U.S.A.?"
Let's put it this way:
If the Germans stick with De
Gaulle in a Europe for Europeans
proposal, it will be about time for
us to pick up our toys and come
home.
That's about the size of tht situ
ation that is shaping up.

It is the misfortune of Negroes
that in this moment of greatest
need for self discipline that they
have no acknowledged leader.
Thousands of Negroes are en
rolled as privates in the mass
armies involved in demonstra
tions, sit-ins and, occasionally,
street violence. The number of
brigade commanders accredited to
and variously directing these ma
neuvers is beyond number.
What the Negroes lack Is a
five-star generalissimo. The Ne
groes need a leader who can
arouse their armies'' or send the
armies home and off the streets
and away from the jails,
Most especially, 1 the Negroes
now ' urgently need leadership
which can persuade them against
mass demonstrations in the capi
tal of the United States while
Congress is debating the Kennedy
civil rights bill. One of the Negro
brigade commanders is the Rev.
George Lawrence of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference.
Some days ago the Rev. Lawrence
promised that Washington, D.C.,
would be the focus of a massive,
militant and monumental sit-in
this summer unless Congress act
ed fast to assure full equal rights
for the Negro now.
More Racial Bitterness
He said any Southern filibuster
against civil rights legislation
would touch off massive acts of
civil disobedience all over the
United States. What the Rev.
Lawrence will touch off if he car
ries out his program is pretty
sure to be more racial bitterness,
more violence and much less sym
pathy among Americans for the
pending civil rights legislation.
The Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference is one of many
more or less militant Negro or
ganizations, any one of which
probably could match the Rev.
Lawrence in mass demonstra
tions. There appears to be no Ne
gro or group of Negroes, how
ever, competent to control the
civil rights demonstrators by di
recting their activities Into chan
nels more likely to help than to
harm their cause.

fact, is worse lhan that, It is not

THE LIGHTER SIDE:
Dilemna:
Or Upset
Spray,
Nature?
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) Each
summer since I joined in the
colonization of darkest suburbia
I have grown small "victory
garden" in my back yard.
Little things that I have heard
and read in recent years lead
me to believe that the Victory
Garden campaign has been losing
momentum since tne end of the
war. But I have continued to do
my part.
People who have the stimulus
of war to grow a victory garden
belong in the same class with
sunshine patriots, I say.
This year, however, we victory
gardeners find ourselves caught
on the horns of a dilemma, which
is the next worse thing to being
caught on the horns of a water
buffalo.
The dilemma got into the gar
den by way of Rachel Carson's
widely discussed book "Silent
Spring." Either that or somebody
left tne gate open.
Get Hooked
At any rate. I was spraying a
radish with an anti-tomtit tinc
ture (three parts tetraethyl to
one part vermouth) when it
hooked me
Suddenly I straightened un and
said to myself "This spray I am
using is undoubtedly contributing
to the health and well-being of
this radish, but how do I know
it is not upsetting the balance of
nature:"
Miss Carson. - as you know.
raised a warning against the
headlong use of ncsticides and
other horticultural chemicals lest
it destroy nature a equilibrum.
Her message has had a pro
found effect upon us victory gar
deners. We figure that nature
isn't any too well balanced any
way.
I put down the sprayer and
was balancing mvsclf in the ham
mock when my wife came out and
sked why I had quit gardening.
Weighing Benefit
"I'm weighing the benefits that
ill accrue to our radish from a
spraying with an anti-tomtit solu.
uon against tne possible disturb
ing effect that it might have on
the natural order of the universe
by driving awav the tomtits. I
told her.
"I am glad to know that." my
wife said. "It appeared to me
that you were taking a nap."
"I think better with mv evei
closed," I explained.
Later on. I tried to cot mv
mind off the problem by tuning
in uie nail game. But were was
no escape.

book.
edged Negro leadership, but that
the various brigade commanders
are competing with each other for
prestige and privileges and, per
haps, for money.
Roy Wilkins is executive secre
tary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. NAACP long was the
muscle and brains of the Negro
effort for civil rights, ln a speech
last week in Alexandria, Va Wil
kins complained that other Negro
organizations provided the noise
and got the publicity while
NAACP provided the manpower
and paid the bills.
. , Considerable Money Available
Wilkins named some Negro
mass demonstration outfits and
said "Don't go giving thorn your
money when it should be given to
us." There is considerable money
available, too. A Negro educator
from Jackson, Miss., spoke in
Washington last week. It was esti
mated that the audience of 600
persons contributed $2,000 when
the hat was passed. A lot qf
money.
There Is evidence that some Ne
gro leaders now feel compelled to
participate in or to inspire mass
violence to compete with others
who promote street disorders. The
idea seems to be that the street
riot leader will get more follow
ers than the pacifist. How much
violence will there be and what
will it do to the cause of civil
rights are two unanswered ques
tions. James M. Nabrit Jr. is
president of Howard University,
Washington, D.C. The San Juan,
Puerto Rico, Star quoted him a
fortnight ago as predicting vio
lence, including the wholesale
killing of pcoplo in the United
States, unless Congress acted im
mediately on civil rights.
