Demos Or ik H ope To Prove Red H at red; for Best Interests of U.S. Washington U.R) Demo crats, still seething over GOP campaign charges of softness to ward Communism, flashed . the signal today that they are gird , ing for a big counter offensive. The Democrats hope to prove to American voters in the next two years that (1) they hate Com munism just as much as the Re publicans, and (2) they can de liver on a legislative program that will be "in the best interests of the people' of the United States. . ' The tip-off on the Democratic plan "came yesterday when Rep. Sam Rayburn of . Texas . once . again took - over the gavel " as . Speaker of the" House; r . Expressing the views of many of his colleagues, as well as of himself Rayburn said:' . . I . want to say, as I said on the stump last fall, that we as. Democrats do not indulge in per sonalities; we are not an accus ing kind of people; we do noti have to be that way . . . , "It matters not what the heat may be, here or out there, we are not going to indict people en masse. We are hot going to say that just because we do not like somebody politically he is soft on Communism or that, he believes in subversion, and no Democrat in this House in a po sition of responsibility nor a Democrat out there in a position of responsibility is going to act or talk like, that without being frowned upon and repudiated by i" me. Rayburn went on to say that the Democrats are prepared to cooperate with President Eisen hower" when they think he is right. But the ultimate action will depend he said, oh what "we think are in the best interests of the people of the ' United States."- .?. .. These remarks were in effect a rerun of comments made Tues day by Rayburn at a secret Dem ocratic caucus. On that first occasion Rep. John W. McCormack of Massa chusetts, House Democratic lead ed, joined his chief in assailing campaign attacks made by some Republicans. V There also has been talk among Democrats in the Senate that one of their number would make a speech along the same lines as that of Rayburn's. . Rayburn did not say publicly which Republican statements he had in mind. But, Democrats generally took exception to the statement, by Vice-President Richard Nixon that the Repub licans had "driven the Commun ists, the . fellow travelers, and tne security risks out of gov ernment byvthe thousands.", Rayburn and other Democrats also have taken exception to the '20 years of treason" charges against the Democratic party by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R Wis.) . Air Experiment for Three-Cent Mail Delivery Proves Successful - WachintftAn fllD- TU TSnnil T- j i 3 t n . -r- i j . . "Washineton Office 'Department's exneriment ; in hauling three-cent mail by ; air is saving money and speeding ; delivery by 24 to 48 hours. ? It also is providing experience which Postmaster General Ar ; . thur E. Summerfield believes , might prove invaluable in case I an enemy attack should disrupt j surface transportation in this country. v i . . The experiment was inaugur- : ated Oct. .6, 1953 between New . York, Washington- and Chicago. It has been extended gradually I and nationally first to three Florida cities,1 than to a "feed ; r" system in the Middle West, ' and more recently, along the Pa ; cific Coast from Seattle - to San ; tiego. .' Defiaiis Saving ; ; Summerfield. said'the'netsav- -. Ing to the government has run f bout $154,000 a year on the S,ew York Washington,'Chicago, Florida phasesof the experiment. ; There are, no figures for the other experimental areas. . ? Spot checks in all areas show speedier delivery. In manv paw: J the elapsed time between post-I- marking , at the sending point f and delivery at-, the receiving t ena nas been speeded 24 hours. ! A test between Los Angels and ' Portland, Ore., showed delivery to be 48 hours quicker than would have been possible by ; rail. : ; .- One reason. for swifter deliv : ery is that mailing habits, rail- road schedules and postman de-. ; . livery hours don't always jibe. ! There also are fewer mail-carry-1 ing trains than there used to ' be. ; ' ' Most mail is dumoed into col. ' lection boxes in the late after- - noon ; sorted, some overnight trains al - (U.R) The Post I ready have departed. In other nt S exueriment I cases. anme ' nvprniplit Irainc reach a destination too late in the morning for the mail to be sorted and delivered that same day. - ' v:'"; - ' -; Idea .Conceived :r--It was to overcome such nrob- lems that Summerfield started the experiment of sending three cent mail by air. : There is no guarantee that every three-cent letter will be sped to its destination by air. It's done on a . "space available" basis. Those who want the guar antee of special handling and air delivery must still pay the air mail rate of six cents an ounce. But, as it turns out. practical ly all the three-cent mail be tween cities in the experiment gets a bargain-rate ride by plane. For example, almost; every letter btween Washington and Chicago is now being : carried by air. Trains carry the mail to inter mediate points like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron and Fort Wayne, Ind. With extension of the experi ment to the West Coast, Sum merfield estimated that about 7 Vz per cent of all the out-of-town three-cent letters handled by the department which run into billions of letters a year are now getting an air-lift ride. DAY Chapter Rehabilitation Starts Organization of a' new project for the assistance of indigent veterans has been completed by Jackson county chapter No. 8,' Disabled American Veterans. Entitled the Veterans Rehabili tation Salvage center, the pro ject will find ways for veterans to help themselves, by collect ing discarded articles from the Dublic and .renairine them for sale. Most of the disabled veter ans who will be aided are only partially disabled,- it was point ed -out, and will be able to do the repair work., . .. -On North Riverside The center has been set up at the DAV building at 1515 North Riverside ave. r -Lester P. Mathes, Central Point, is man ager. .The board of trustees H7tlifYt will A-na.ifs4A " 4lti& aamIah By the time it has been include Chapter ' Commander Lester Moser, chairman, Pat Gra- Project i ham, adjutant and service of ficer, secretary,' and George Sim mons, James R. Lillie, and Jim Perry, all members of the loeal post. ' . Because of the proximity of the Veterans Administration domiciliary center ' at Camp White, many stranded veterans are drawn to the community, in the hope of being admitted there, it was ' explained. But when they arrive here without means of support, they become indi gents mostly ineligible for aid from the welfare department or from the veterans'- indigent re lief fund, which stipulates a year of residence for eligibility Other Work The DAV also carries : on claims service -work, - welfare projects for 'resident disabled veterans;' and hospital welfare work, but the load of non-resident veterans' relief comes with in the scope of the DAV, and especially in the winter months puts too great a strain on rem. lar projects. . 1 . -. s .vvj -npn ARM TRACTORS Deaver Tractor and Inmle- ment Co., 634 North Central ave., will display the new 1955 Ford farm tractors beginning tomorrow.
