The Post Office department's going to have lo get up pretty early In the day if they figure on beating carrier Walt Rowley of Lebanon. Couple years ago Rowley's feet got to complaining about the loads of mall they had lo carry, so Rowley sal down and devised a two-wheel cart to carry his mall sack. About a year ago, postal authorities caught up and recom mended that carriers use golf type carts to haul their mall around the route on. But Rowley's dogs still weren't satislled, so he got a three wheeled motor scooter to ride on his route. Now the Post Office department says they're trying out motorized carts for carriers in some eastern areas. Elvis has turned interior decora tor, Hollywood news stories say.

Yi Everyday School Board Sets Meeting Here Tonight Further Stuclv of '57-58 Budget Slated On Agenda Further study of the 1957-58 bud get will be taken up by the Salem School Board . which will meet in the Administration Building at 7:30 Thursday night.

Beck's attorney said he expected to sec the teamsters boss indicted for income tax evasion "at any lime now." The attorney, Arthur D. Condon, told the United Press he believes a (ederal grand jury in Seattle will act soon against Beck, who said he has been warned he faces income tax prosecution. However in Seattle, Federal Dist. Atty. Charles Moriarty said he knew of no forthcoming indict ment against Beck. He said a reg ular federal grand jury will be summoned in June "in the normal course of events."

The belligerent Beck, said re peatedly a truthful answer to what he did with union funds might tend lo incriminate him. Beck, excused as a witness while the committee took a two week breather, headed (or Seattle today and the palatial home which plays a big part in his troubles with the Internal Revenue Service and the rackets committee.
