Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1939. PAGE THREB POSTOFFICE MAY BE USED FOR CHRISTMAS RUSH Postmaster Frank DeSouza today confirmed a report he was seeking postoffice department sanction to rent store space on the east side of North Holly street two doors south of Sixth street to handle Christmas mail during the rush period this year. The outside space is sought be cause this Christmas the exten sion and remodeling of the post office building will be under way and conditions are expected to be somewhat crowded. If the plan is approved in Washington, D. C, the outside space will be used to handle only incoming train parcels. The parcels would be sorted and delivered directly from the store, situated diagonally oppo site the postoffice, Mr. DeSouza said, emphasizing that all other business would be carried on as usual at the postoffice and that the change would in no way affect customers. Work on the extension and remodeling will begin about No vember 6, it was indicated by a notice received by Mr. De Souza from the L. H. Hoffman company, contractor, that C. H. Post, Job superintendent, would come here on November 6. Mr. Post, when here recently, said work would be started on No vember 1 or as soon thereafter as structural steel needed on the Job could be obtained. At The Bottom , Palo Alto, Calif.

Livestock (continued lrwn psge ana) bill, this automatically ending more than three weeks of gen neral debate. Oppontnti Agree Efforts to obtain an agree ment heretofore had been blocked by senators opposed to repealing the arms embargo, al though most of them professed to find acceptable in some de gree other sections of the neu trality measure setting up con trols over shipping and com merce with belligerent coun tries. Today, however, opposition leaders agreed on a debate limi tation. Meanwhile Senator Tobey (R-N.H.) said that responsibility for seizure of the American freighter City of Flint rested on members of the senate who de feated his motion two weeks ago to consider separately from arms embargo provisions those provisions of the neutrality bill relating to shipping. Would Erase Haiardt Tobey declared had his mo tion to split the neutrality bill passed congress it would have "removed the hazards which ac crue to our ships from sailing through war zones." Senator Byrnes (D-S.C.) a sup porter of the administration bill, told reporters: "Under the pending embargo repeal bill there would be no such incident as the City of Flint seizure since American shipping would not be permitted to enter the danger zone." Senator Connally (D-Tex.), an other backer of the bill, ex pressed his belief not only seiz ure but sinking of American Portland Portland. Ore..
