Realism in Postal Problems The lowly 3-cent stamp, still carrying as much mail as it did when born nearly 20 years ago in the depression, goes on the only class of U. S. mail that pays its own way without subsidy. That's the report from a Presidential advisory board on the Postoffice Department, appointed two years ago. The board of leading financiers and indus trialists puts the blame for the department's continuing and growing deficit squarely on Con gress. It offers two recommendations: Congress should face the deficit frankly and decide what majl it wants to subsidizes and how much; a board should be established to set postal rates on a factual basis within Congressional policies .but without putting all the. detailed. figure "thrjigh Congress. 1 - J ijirst class mail, using the 3 -cent stamp, is expected' to yield $66 million more than it costs this fiscal year. But, says the report, "In each ana every uuici um uic4ah iiacu vli gress are admittedly inadequate to meet the cost! of such semcest---;T.lJ-.-:;. The shortages range from 480 per cent or $253 million for second class (publications) down ward through 256 per cent for library books, 89 percent' for third class (circulars and adyertis- - j and as a result of the continual protests of pro ponents of a free press, that the wells of infor mation did not dry up more than they did. Many a thoughtful office - holder who once j mistook "free press" for unbridled license has j come to recognize that the term has to do with : the right of the American public to know what is going on not to the financial gain or detri ment of newspapers.

Contributing also to the deficit is $76 million In free mailing by other government depart ments and a measly 11700,000 in the -of t-critic-iied Congressional franked map, ' ' The report shows, that Congress and agencies such! as the Interstate Commerce Commission and! Civil Aeronautics Board; are responsible for pegging the costs and the rates for the postal service. Pay raises and other cost boosts in the 6ii years through 1951 averaged $1,400,000,000 annually while the average annual revenue in crease was only $400 million, leaving a cool bil lion dollar annual deficit. The board expressed its concern that "we were' asked to advise as to the conduct of one of thit largest businesses in the nation and we are deeply disturbed as advisers to a business whose deficit is really not determined by the operators of the business but by the, so to speak, hoard of directors of the company - namely, the Con gress:"; ', - ' ":: Byj facing up to and accepting as essential subsidies for encouragement to the airplane in dustry; increasing free spread of information, aiding sparsely populated areas by special serv ; Ices, helping the blind by free mailing of mate rials and other factors, the board said the de- partment would be removed from its ambiguous position, "neither a social service or a business and could run as a profitable or break -even . business.

International situation, Russia's sponsorship of a J resolution before the United Nations on freedom. of ; information would be amusing. '- ' Tot a country whose press and other media of : communication are rigidly controlled by the gov ernment to back a plan, for freedom of information is the height -of hypocrisy. - Charles A. Sprague, Salem (Ore.) publisher, told the United Nations social committee that if the Rus sian proposal were adopted it would "stifle the flow of Information in the world and place free countries under the same censorship shackles that prevail be hind the Iron Curtain." 1 1 t The Soviet resolution consists mainly of an as sault on "Inciters of a new war and suggestions for suppressing war news. Its hypocrisy stands out , clearly, as Mr. Sprague pointed out, against the 'background of the Russian record of concentrating V Its propaganda on inciting hatred against the west. 1 Objections to the Russian proposal were voiced' by delegates of other nations. Some of them sup ported the basic ideas of the Kremlin resolution but all objected to the passage which would provide machinery to prevent use of press , and radio for putting out "war propaganda : The reason for their opposition to that passage Is clear. Any information from the free world jn con nection with sincere efforts in behalf of peace or defense against Communist aggression would be at tacked by Moscow as "war propaganda while Red propaganda in support of Russia's phony peace moves and outright Communist aggression would, in the view of the men in the Kremlin, be peace news.

Nothing like a nice friendly death, ehr For many years doctors hare been baffled by several of tho rarer types of, anemia. Now some of these conditions are be ing brought under control with newer surgical methods and newer medicines. In anemia, the rod cells of the blood Uck the necessary amount of an Important substance, hem oglobin. When severe, this con dition can lead to extreme weak ness of the patient. o The blood rets Its red color from the red cells. They are really tiny disks containing oxy gen, and they carry their vital supplies to all the tissues, cells, and organs of the body. Hemoglobin Is the material In the cells which carries the oxy- Sen. Hence. It is necessary for fe. This substance is made up of iron that's combined with a coloring material A low supply of hemoglobin In the blood acta like a sort of slow starvauon of the body cells. The anemic person looks pale, and may be short of breath, slow acting, and constantly tired. , There are many types of ane mia, and 'many different causes. Some of the more common ane mias come from mot nutrition: that is, the person s diet does not have enough iron and other min erals, such as copper, which are necessary for the normal growth of red blood cells and produc tion ox nemogiooin. Other type of anemia come from loss of btood, as In severe nosebleeds, from serious Infec tions or from cancerous growths. A Uck of vitamin B-12 or liv or causes a special type known as pernicious anemia. This dis ease can now be controlled with adequate doses of liver and vita min B-12. ' Then, there are the many cas es of obscure anemias, in which the red cells are destroyed with in the blood stream for no obvi ous reason. A number of these cases are duo to heredity. Varl ous cnemicais may also be re sponsible, however, such as ar senlc, lead. , or- silver. Cortaln drugs, such as the sulfa drugs and quinine, may also cause an emia symptoms. Snake venom will dissolve the blood cells causing an anemia. Malaria and certain severe streptococcus in lections also have obscure ways oi cringing on this condiuon. At one time, no euro was known for these so-called mys terious anemias. The red blood cells would just disintegrate. giving on their pigment, and the person would develop a Jaun dice, with severe anemia symp toms, usually the spleen, an or gan in the abdomen, would. also enlarge. Now It has been found that re moval of the spleen is helpful In treating certain of these anemi as. The newer drugs. ACTH and cortisone, are helpful in reliev ing other types. Of course, all such treatment must be carried out under a physician's direc tion.

SAFE WAY I By JOSEPH ALSOP' PARIS Viewed from this per spective, President-elect Eisen hower's task looks even more staggeringly difficult than it did In America. The most rapid sounding or the situation, over here is enough to dredge up av whole series of, acutely un- r pleasant facts, all I of which N beat very di rect jy on the sucqess or fail ure ot the new I American administration. First, Gen.? Eisenhower and his advisers ought to realize im- mediately that throughout Eu . "ft, the Republican victory is nfcr being taken as an isola tionist victory. Informed high officials think that this is prob ably the case. The less informed general public is convinced of it. It may seem pretty ridiculous, In view of Gen. Eisenhower's matters worse. But what la far more Important, the crisis can hardly be met nnlesa Gen. Eisenhower temporarily seta aside the Republican projects for economy ia foreign sad de fense spending. For a while, in truth. 1 the Job of cementing the Western alli ance is virtually certain to de mand heavier spending, not less spending. The alternative would seem to be the gradual deteri oration of the Western united , front against Soviet aggression, ' the gradual petering out of the Western defense effort, and the eventual extension of Soviet power into new and vital pro vinces which are now 'precari ously held by the West. " This ugly situation is the re sult of the inter-action of sev eral different factors. The French problem of Indo-China has grown more acute. Partly because of the drain of Indo China, the great project of the European Defense Community, is in growing danger here in. Pirl, ThU, li turn AlrmMI u V v .3 - tnreatens the puns for strength- i i r . LALk J Jflerpb Alttop J nervous capitals over here, seri ous and sober men now think that: Sen. Robert A. Taft will probably design the new Ameri can foreign policy, while Gen. Douglas MacArthur plans the new. defense policy. The friends of America are discouraged and all but ready to run for cover. The . anti-Americans are crowing with .- triumph. If Gen.' Eisen hower genuinely intends to ad here! to the broad principles of foreign policy in which he has always believed, he cannot say ao too soon or too loudly. Second, and mack mere sig meant. Gen. Elsenhower will take office tn the midst of a aaajor ertels la America's rela tions with the other Western aUles.i This crisis has been balldlng np behind the scenes daring the period when Amer ica s whole attention was eon eemtrated ea domestic pollt'rs. Mkas been made worse by the rtSraaread fear of Republican Intentions. This fear U making enlng Europe's defenses with German divisions. : The fntnre of NATO, Gen. Eisenhower's own saasterwork in the postwar : years, will be menaced If the German divi sions do not become available, NATO ia also menaced by the ' extreme economic strain . af flicting both Britain and the Enropeaa member-eaftatries. Meanwhile the system of ' American money subsidies to our allies, which has accomp lished so much m the past, is .now ceasing to be politically j practical because the resulting dependence on America Is grow- ' ing too unpalatable. Britain and France, especially, are looking for a radical re-adjustment of the economic relationships be tween the United States and the other Western allies. Bold meas ures are needed to let our allies do their Jobs and pay their bills without constant pleas to Con gress for more subsidy-funds. Each one of these problems Is sufficiently crucial and suffl cienuy complex to deserve a separate report, which will be , ..made subsequently in this space. All of them together will hit Gen. Eisenhower like a cartload of brick,. the day he enters the White House If not long before then. Behind all these problems, however, there is another and more basic fact which can give a bright side to this current crisis in American foreign policy. Ia brief, the rule of the poll- ey makers of the Truman ad- r ministration was well ex-. pressed by a Washington cynic, f who said, "We never don't do what .wo cant not do." Ia other 'Words, Just what has been ana voidable has been done. Bat meanwhile every ' future difficulty and danger, however great and obvious. . every problem not la the crisis stage, however important and troublesome, has always been ahoved under the Truman ad ministration rag. Because ac tion has always been taken at . the last moment. It has always been extra expensive to take. , Because fundamental solutions havoi never been sought, new demands and requirements . have continued to cook no. , Gen. Eisenhower,' with a . united country behind him, does not need to plan his policies in the piecemeal, hand-to-mouth Truman manner. He is in a po sition to try for fundamental so lutions, if he wants to. Whether In the case of a local difficulty lfke mat In Indo-China, or in the case of a world problem like - the economic relationships of the West, Eisenhower is able to say Let's look for a real way out of this, mess. Even if It costs a lot more now, which it probably will, it win save untold amounts later on." This is the golden opportunity of the Eisenhower Administra tion. If It is missed, the conse quences can be singularly grim and unpleasant. 1 ICopyrirht. 195S. New Tors. Herald Tribune. Inc.) ! (Continued from pags one.)
