f Postal Employees Seek Higher Pay "The costal emDlovee is the forgotten man in the economic market. There is no doubt that a letter carrier earns a good salary - now it's time for him to be paid a good alary." The above statement was jnade by Larry M. Rose, Med ford, president of the Oregon State association of the Na tional Association of Letter Carriers, who is one of those backing a current proposal be fore Congress to raise the' salary of postal employees. Rose pointed out that cur rent rates of pay for letter carriers are even too low for them to qualify for a Federal Housing Authority loan on a new home. "To buy a $15,000 house, you need a $650 down pay ment and a $14,350 loan," he said. "This calls for monthly payments of $89.74 and this type of purchase, under FHA regulations, requires as an nual salary of $5,384 Not Eligible "Not a single letter carrier In the U.S. is making any where near that amount of money and so, on their postal salaries alone, letter carriers are ineligible to buy a home under a program designed to put home ownership within the reach of the man with a moderate income," Rose point ed out "A letter carrier with three dependents takes home only Annual Incentive Awards Program Held at Center Edward B.

Telephoto) Israelis Praying For West Germany Jerusalem -(UPD- Israelites, many of whom still bear the physical and mental scars of the Hitler regime, are praying today for the continuation of West German prosperity. The reason: Israel's econ omy is geared to German production. Most of Israel's electrical plants, railroads, harbors, ships and telephone system were built by the West Ger mans. Failure of a German manufacturer to supply a spe cific spare part could cripple many an Israeli plant. In addition, West Germany has agreed to pay Israel $822, 000,000 in reparations for Nazi crimes against Jews. So far, the Israelis have received more than $550,000,000. Since the 14-year repara tions agreement went into ef fect in 1952, hundreds of Ger man businessmen and tech nical experts have passed through Israel. Relations with the German emissaries are always business-like and proper. Both West German authorities and the Israeli security services investigate all these Germans to make sure none was ever an actice Nazi. just machine wash and use beautiful ready-made slipcovers that dry fast. ..need no ironing for 3 years!
