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

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.
