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

ntiuroRb MAIL TRIBUNE.
the Stale Bureau of Labor told
committee members.
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

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.
