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

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
