by W. M. Walls. Ralph Brick
ley's Rocking Rhythm Boys will

Total of $35,639 Compare
With $27,495 in Last
Quarter Previous Year,
Final quarter of 1939 estab
lished a new record for stamp
sales at Medford postoffice, it
was announced today by Post
master Frank DeSouza.
The December quarter sales
totaled $35,639.37 as compared
with $34,271.18 in 1938, an in
crease of $1,388.21 or 4 per
cent. The 1938 final quarter
was the previous high.
Stamp sales in the last quar
ter of 1939 compared with $27,
495.94 In the same period of
1930, an increase of S8.143.43
or 34 per cent. Mr. DeSouza
made this comparison because
1930 was the peak year for
stamp sales in the prosperity
era of the late 1920's. Sales
totaled only $25,649.12 in the
last quarter of 1929, the year
that in most lines of business
attained all-time peaks before
the prosperity bubble burst.
Stamp sales in December,
1939, totaled $14,822.73 as com
pared with $11,407.25 in the
same month of 1930. an increase
of $3,415.48 or 33 per cent.
Airmail showed a tremendous
gain last month over that of
December. 1938. In December,
1939, outgoing airmail totaled
1,929 pounds In comparison
with 803 pounds in the same
months the previous year, an
increase of 1,006 pounds or
more than 123 per cent. It is
calculated that on the average
a pound contains 30 letters

Washington, ' Jan. 3. JP)
The navy broke its peacetime
records in warship building
during 1939 and is preparing
to step up the rate of riveting
Officials listed today 30 cruis
ers, destroyers and submarines
that were completed and put
in commission during the past
year, compared with 18 in 1938
and 24 the year before.
With 130 major fighting ships,
auxiliaries and small "mosquito
fleet" motor torpedo boats and
submarine chasers already un
der construction or ordered, the
navy has asked decided in
creases in the building estimates
prepared for congress.
Navy Going Ahead.
Well-informed administration

budget as approved by Presi

plemental fund of some $160.
000,000 largely to advance con
struction, aside from increased
sums to carry on work already
in progress.
Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of
the house naval committee has
proposed authorization for 96
more warships, and others in
congress have suggested that
65,000-ton battleships be under
taken. Without awaiting action
on such proposals, the navy
is going ahead with the two
capital ships of 45,000 tons.
voted at the last session.
The keel of the $88,000,000
battleship Iowa is to be laid at
the New York navy yard this
month. The sister ship New
Jersey is to be started in the
spring at the Philadelphia navy
yard.
One Near Launching.
The North Carolina, farthest
advanced of a fleet of six 35,-000,000-ton
battleships, probab
ly will slide down the ways at
the New York yard in May. It
is not expected to be in service,
however, until the end of 1941.
Government and commercial
yards are jammed with mari
time commission as well as navy
shipbuilding. During 1939 navy
yard employment increased
gradually from 76,000 to nearly
100,000.
Although Secretary Edison re
ported recently "everything pos
sible" was being done to hasten
construction, there are hints
progress can be quickened ma
terially by such means as dou
ble and triple shifts and more
efficient use of available build
ing ways.
Regardless of the quickened
pace, navy officials contend the
fleet actually is falling behind
temporarily in under-age ton
nage, because of the years dur
ing which there were no re
placements of obsolescent craft.
452.000 Tons Building.
Altogether about 452.nnn inn.
of fighting ships are being
built, of which 46,000 tons are
1940. In this year, however,
about 68,000 tons now rated as
under-age will pass the arbi
trary treaty-set limit of maxi
mum military usefulness.
Because of the comparatively
small prospective net gains, it
will not be until 1944 that the
navy expects to reach its auth
orized strength.
' The stark drama of the
