o o in a QJJ. Post Off By HARRY FERGUSON United Prcit International Washington-ltJPD-The Unit ed States mail service has achieved such a solid reputa tion for fast and safe delivery that millions of dollars worth of jewels move through its channels every month. Most Jewel merchants prefer t h e U. S. mails to transportation by private guards and armor ed trucks, and Jn 1958 when the Hope Diamond was sent from New York to the Smith sonian Institution here it came by registered mail. This high record of per formance, of course, tempts thousands of peddlers of fraud ulent schemes and merchants of pornography to use the mails. To fight them the Post Office Department deploys 1,500 postal inspectors around the nation. These men scl dom perform deeds that cre ate big headlines as, for in- instance, does the Federal Bu reau of Investigation, Nor do they attempt to wrap them' selves in a thick coat of se crecy as do the men of the Central Intelligence agency But they are among the most effective of all federal Investigators. The pay-off is not how many persons you ar rest in a year, but how many convictions you obtain. The postal inspectors move quiet ly, gather their evidence eare ' fully and win convictions in 99 per cent of the cases that go to court. Public Proves Gullible The American public is highly gullible when face to face with a get-rich-quick scheme. It is impossible to say how much swindlers ob tain each year because many of the suckers are so ashamed that they never report their losses. But the Post Office Department can say with cer tainty that the figure is at least $83 million annually be cause it has a record of those cases. Year after yea- people fall for the same fraudulent tricks. Stephen Singer was convicted of mail fraud in Los Angeles early this year for telling peo ple he would get theii songs played on the radio. Postal inspectors say he took in $200,000. Kenneth P. Cham berlain was convicted in Wil mington, Del., of defrauding 125 persons of about $400,000. He sold counterfeit stock cer tificates or, in some cases, al tered legitnate certificates and sold thm. Hundreds of persons are convicted every year for swindling the public with promises of providing lucrative work that can be done in the home. There is a heavy traffic in pornography through the U.S. mails, but a good bit of it is PINCKNEY APPOINTED Salem -fUPD- Dale Pinckney has been appointed rs a training and education a. fcist ant with the training and edu cation division of the Civil Service commission, it was announced today.

The interim group has launched a study of the im pact of automation on Ore gon's labor force, and will make recommendations to the 1965 legislature. Labor Commissioner Nor man Nilsen said his depart ment was "facing a challenge to help the work force to adopt to the change which is sweeping Oregon and the en tire nation." Ziegler, who on his own time began a series of evening counseling programs In aid unemployed workers, said most displaced persons don't know how to look for jobs, and don't know their skills or shortcomings. Executives Have Problem He said displaced execu tives have the toughest prob lem getting a new job, while those who work with their hands are more easily re trained. He said persons under 20 and over 40 face the most dif ficulty in finding jobs. Nilsen said it was the labor commission's job to get the work force lo recognize the skills it had to offer, and the department of employment's job to get the potential em ployee together with a pros pective employer. It was pointed out that the Oregon work force was above the national average in intelli gence, and had one of the low est rates of illiteracy. Nilsen said this was a great advantage because the labor force was belter able to adjust to technological advances. It was pointed out that the slate civil service recently listed 206 job openings, and more than one-third of them were open to out-of-state res idents. This was because there was a shortage of people in Oregon to fill the positions, which required a high degree of technical skill. $2.4 Million Made Available for Loans Portland The sum of $2,400,000 has been made available for federal CI direi-t home loans to Oregon veter ans, according to R. J. Novol ny. manager of the Portland Vfterans administration re gional office. Eliyible World War II and Korean Conflict veterans who apply for a direct loan by In ter to the Portland office will have Uieir applications proc essed in the order of receipt. However, a veteran should not apply fnr a loan until hr hss a .fpecitic property in mind. Novotny said. The maximum amount which can he loaned on a home or farm is $15,000. The interest rate is 54 per cent. Two typea of VA loans are provided by law. 'guaran teed'' loans made by commer cial lending firms, and "di rect'' loans issued in certain counties by VA itself Pi root loans are not made in Mult nomah and Washington coun ties, and only for farms in I Clackamas. Marion and Linn I counties. Other areas cxolud I cd are Lane county ext-ept for j the coastal strip. Polk county least of Highway flaw and i the cf'y of Klamath Kails. , MEDFORD. OVtG&& to get into trouble with the postal inspectors is to mail obscene material to persons at random. Charles J. Nale wak of Shamokin, Pa., got a prison term of from three to five years because he had been mailing obscene material to all young women whose names or photographs pper ed in the newspaper. Most of these cases are dis posed of quietly, but occasion ally the postal inspectors be come involved in litigation that gels international atten tion. Sometimes it calls for a judicial opinion in answer lo this age-old question: Is it art or is it obscenity? One of the biggest such cases went to trial in Phila delphia in June before Fed eral District Judge Ralph C. Body sitting without a jury. The defendant was Ralph Ginzburg, publisher of Eroi State Population Growth Exceeds Job Opportunities Salem -IUPD- Oregon's pop ulation has been growing at a faster rate for the past decade than have new job opportuni ties, a Department of Employ ment spokesman told the In terim Committee on Techno logical Employment Wednes day. Committee members also were told that during the past 10 years agricultural employ- j ment has shown a steady de- : cline. Manufacturing and oth- i er industries have, shown a slight gain, despite a 5,000 re duction in the number of rail- ; road employees in Oregon. Launch Probe The statements came in an- : swer to questions by commit tee members who are launch- : ing a probe into the effects of automation on Oregon's la- : bor force. Public Instruction Supt. I Leon P. Minear said the 1960 j federal census showed Oregon j had the lowest high school ! drop-out rate of any state in j the nation. j But Minear warned there I was a critical need for voca tional training at the high school Rnd community college level, ' He said Oregon was a rural siale, and most of the state's high schools were too small to offer vocational training. f PAY AS LITTLE AS No Money Down On Approved Credit.

It got more than 33,000 complaint from citizens who received through the maili advertiaing describing Ero magazine as "a new quarterly devoted to love and sex." The advertising also offered a publication call ed "The Housewife'! Hand book on Selective Promiicu ity." Acted Openly Ginzburg had acted openly with no attempt to be secre tive about his project. Adver tisements for Eros and his other publications had appear ed in magazines and had reached nation-wide distribu tion. His case was that what he was distributing was not obscene. The court disagreed and on June 14 found Ginz burg guilty on all 28 counts of the indictment.
