Postal Order To End Some CitySubWork Gragg Says No Regular Employes Will Be Laid Off A general order issued by the postal service concerning curtail ment of mail service as of April 13 will mean the limination of a greater portion of the substitute help at the Salem post office but will not mean the laying off of any of the regular employes. This is the interpretation placed upon a Post Office Department bulletin received Monday by Post master Albert C. Gragg, which deals with the situation arising out of a lack of funds. Just how many substitute work ers would be affected, the post master was not in an immediate position to state. The general order would mean a curtailment in the number of hours worked by the clerk and this would necessitate a rearrangement in the time the windows controlling the sale of stamps, registry, general delivery and the like, said the postmaster. There will be no deliveries of mail, except special matter, Sat urday or Sunday. However, box holders will be able to get mail on these two days. NoBombAfterAll, Just Burnt Spuds LOUISVILLE, Ky.

Alden Wilbur Ocean, 180 N. 23rd St., told officers that he was on his way home about midnight last Tuesday when he decided to enter the Gideon Stolz warehouse in search of some beer. He found some clearance under the door to a garage and scooped it out so that he could slip under, he said. After prying the lock from a truck, he opened the barred ga rage doors and carried a case of beer across the street to Shelton Ditch and tossed it in the water. It floated, he noted, so he went back . for some more cases and then decided to empty the tru'-k. He estimated he made 65 to 70 trips from the garage to the creek and carried more than 120 cases of beer. All of it was tossed in the creek except three cases, which he hid under a log, he said. He quit when it began to get daylight about 5:30 a.m. Gideon Stolz employes cleared out the creek Wednesday, recover ing most of the beer which had sunk to the bottom when the boxes collapsed. He went back Thursday and Friday nights and entered the water to come up with approximately four cases of beer, Ocean said. ; . Police said they would obtain a Marion County District Court bur glary warrant Monday. 70 MPH Isn't Freeway Top, Holmes Says Gov. Robert D. Holmes said Mon day that 70 miles an hour on the Salem-Portland freeway is not a speed limit and that the basic speed applies to those driving the freeway. The comment arose when a Port land newsman asked the Governor if he had been in a Cadillac bear ing No. 1 Oregon license plates This car had passed the newsman who said he was driving at 70 miles an hour. The Governor said he was riding in the car. "My driver always observes the basic speed law," the Governor said. I did not know that 70 miles an hour on the speedway was not a limit until I was assigned a state policeman as a driver. "He informed me that the 70 miles an hour posted on the free way was merely a suggested speed lor an cars umicr an conditions. Gov. Holmes said when he was personally driving, he drove con siderably slower.

Young Pig Pork E 3C Steak Inch Thick-Yankee Spare Ribs SUGGESTS CONFERENCE Road Width Decision Necessary That there should be some de termination concerning the width of North River road in the Keizer area was the gist of a communi cation directed to the Marion County Court Monday by Engineer John Anderson, The map of the County Planning Commission shows a width of North River road to be 100 feet as Revenue Office Slates Move For Early July The Salem office of the federal Internal Revenue Service, which has always been located In the post office building, will move about July 1 to new quarters in the downtown district. This became known Monday when the Chamber of Commerce received copy of a call for bids by the federal General Services Ad ministration which handles all rentals for the government. A location with space of not less than 2.350 square feet is desired. A building either with elevator service or where space can be had on the street floor is needed. Stair Climbing Difficult Tho reason for this is that many aged persons, who have business with the office, find difficulty in climbing stairs as they have to do at the post office. Bids will be received by the Gen eral Services Administration at 909 First Ave., Seattle, up to 2 p.m. April 25. Another reason for moving is that because of expansion of the office in the last three years, It does not now have enough space. Personnel in the office has in creased from I to IS in the three years. The office has what is known in the service as a Class A col lection unit. It covers all of northwest Oregon except Multno mah and part of Washington County, extending from the coast eastward to Bend and as tar south as the Lane County line. Four Men In Snlem The unit has four men in Salem and one each at Bend, Astoria, Tillamook. Newport and Hills boro. The group supervisor is In Salem. Three girls do the tabulat ing in the Salem ollice. In addition is an audit section staff covering Marion, Linn, Polk, Benton and Lincoln counties and part of Yamhill. , , , . , Hugh E.

Section 1, Page 5 - Anderson projected into the not too distant future. "I have been unable to recon cile myself to telling various build- ers that this Is actually what Is ' going to happen," commented the' engineer as he suggested a con- fcrence between members of the ' court and the commission concern' ing some of the more important' arterials. ' ' Anderson said that he has tried" to stress to prospective builders' that the North River road is to be widened in the near future and that they should govern them selves accordingly. In this connection the engineer relates that representatives of an oil company recently conferred with him concerning the construc tion of a filling station on the southwest corner of Cummingi lane and North River road. He advised them that they should provide for additional set backs of 10 feet from the property , lines on both streets and that ah 80-foot right-of-way was all thai . could ultimately be hoped for. The engineer points out that there is no legal way of enforcing" such set-backs and all that h " can do is to suggest them. : Wiggles Doesn't Waggle Anymore PHOENIX. I.
