MASTER Canter and Commercial Each Korea Mailman Serves Area of 1,400 Homes Twice Daily By CONRAD PRANGE Staff Writer, The Statesmaa . Post offices in Korea combine the proper functions of an American-type postal system with tie phone and telegraph services, bank- Briton Warns Of Scientific Push by Reds CARDIFF. Wales I -Leftwlng Laborite Aneurin Bevan told 6,000 Welsh miners Saturday tha Russia is going to launch "the most ex traordinary invasion the world has ever known." "It will not be an invasion of the Red Army," he said, "but an invasion oi scientists, technicians, educationalists and professors of all kinds," Bevan said this invasion of the rest of the world would take place within the next few years, and he called on the West to make a real pace with the U S S R. "I believe that there exists at this moment and will exist for some time to come the biggest single chance of establishing peace with-the Soviet Union that has ever existed in our lifetime," he said. Of the United States Bevan said: 'The United States of America achieved material power without getting the necessary wisdom to use it, and we have accepted a leadership from her which has re sulted in ruining Great Britain, taken us in false directions and resulted in inflation of our currency at home." SWINDLE SWINDLES PHOENIX, Aril. - Dewey Swindle was sent to prison Friday for the fourth time for issuing bo gus checks. iiig business and customer service. 1 Whether Koreat. mail camera have much trouble with unletter ed dogs is not known. But many of their other problems differ rad ically from those of their American brother-in-service. For one thing each of the 3.436 postal workers in South Korea is. by American standards, vastly overworked and underpaid. 1 The 56 letter carriers in Seuol for instance receive a wage of 5, 000 hwan (about $6.25) a month. Plus about 30 pounds of rice. Each delivers twice daily to an area which includes 1.400 houses near ly three times the average Salem city route. Word Frtaa Keren Although patterned after the American system, the Koreaa pos tal services has some unique fac ets, according to Clifford Girod, Salem serviceman in Korea with the Army security system. Young Girod is the husband of Ann Girod and son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawton V. Girod. His father is a l.Vyear postal veteran and is sup erintendent at the Klngwood branch ! post office in Salem. The son re cently sent his father a complete pictorial run-down of the Korean postal service. "One of the strange things about the system here," be wrote, "U that both, incoming and outgoing foreign parcel post is opened for inspection by authorities." Items Taxed Packages coming into Korea are opened and a tax placed on each item. This tax must be paid for by the patron -when be picks up his parcel. Outgoing packagea art opened to aee if the contents correspond to Army, Air Force To Hike Regular Officer Numbers WASHINGTON I - The House Armed Services Committee Fri day approved a bill to let the Ar my and Air Force bring their pro portion of regular officers to about half those on active duty. Secretary of Defense Wilson had told the committee in a letter that the Air Force now has only 17 per cent regulars, the Army only 26 per cent. The remaining offi cer billets are held by reservists. The Navy already is close to the one-half mark. SOVET LINER DOCKS ATHENS. Greece W-The Soviet liner Pobeda with 431 Russian tourists aboard has docked at the Greek port of Piraeus.

Addrtaaea Rewriitea And because few Korean letter carriers can read English, a crew of "writers" are kept busy at post offices daily transposing foreign language addresses on a mountain of incoming mail into the Korean script. Most, of the postal building in Seoul are of modern design on the outside and are furnished rath er crudely, but adequately, on the inside. Money order clerks use the abacus, an ancient counting bead instrument, to add up sums. Operate Ttlepbtaea Another function of Korean post offices ia operating public tele phones. Each office has a phone and to use it a patron must first purchase a ticket. This entitles him to talk to anyone in Seoul for three minutes for three cents. An out-of-city call costs 62 cents.
