MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1939.

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.

, Palo Alto, Calif. (AP) Foot
ball players have the lowest

Stanford university campus, an
official survey showed. Tennis
and track men had the highest.
The survey also showed women
bean men in class work by a
ratio of 2.65 to 2.45.

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

reverted to the crawling indif

many recent sessions.
The list loafed until around
midday when buyers stepped in
and gave some of the aircrafts,

steels and specialties a lift of
fractions to two or more points.
