WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 195,1 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ma Five-County Postmasters Hold Chemult Conference By HOPE N. BRADER CHEMULT Saturday evening, November 19, the iirst of the (ive county postmaster meetings was held at a dinner in the Trailwaya Bus. Company dining room at 7 p.m. Host postmaster, Farley El liott, presided. Many of the counties in Eastern Oregon have few post offices with in theii boundaries, and it has been thought that much more in terest in department affairs could be gained by having a group larpe enough to warrant a speaker from one of the many offices now cen tralized In Portland. With this in mind, invitations were sen', out to postmasters in Klamath, Des chutes, Lakes, Jefferson and Crook counties to invite their personnel to dinner on November 18 to dis cuss organization and future poli cy. It was decided to include Mal heur and Harney counties m this group and meet again in the spiing for election of officers and an other educational meeting. Thirty-four braved the severe winter weather for the first turn out. These were greeted witn tood food and warm hospitalily of the Bend postmaster, Farley Elliott. Elliott told of the early times in Jury To Hear AnnWocdward r'' MINEOLA, N.y. iMrs. Ann Woodward is expected to go before a special session of tne Nassau County grand juiy Friday to tell how she killed her millionaire sportsman husband with a shot gun blast. Her lawyer, Murray Gurfein of New York City, says the 39-year-old widow will exercise her right to testify before the grand jury about the killing of her husband, William Woodward Jr. The Duchess of Windsor may be a witness before the jury. Mrs. Woodward has told author ities that she shot into a dark hall way of her home at a noise she thoucht was caused by a prowler. Her65-year-old husband, who was et the door of his bedroom across the hall, was hit in the head and died almost instantly.. To appear before the grand jury, Mrs. Woodward must waive im munity meaning that anything ehe says could be used against her in any possible prosecution. The state is not calling Mrs. Woodward as a witness, which would be an unusual procedure. County authorities, who have questioned the widow in detail, have not challenged her story that the shooting was a tragic accident. Dist. Atty. Frank Gulotta said yesterday he had not confirmed through Mrs. woodwards lawyer that she will appear before the jury. "We certailny hepe to have her among those present," Gulotta said. "But her appearance seems to be pretty much up to her attorney and her physician."

( With the Christinas season being so near students of SHA are prac ticing for the annual Christmas piay. postal history In the Bend office and of its origin in 1883 with a petition for a post of, ice which was turned down but established in 1886 and the name shortened from "Farewell Bend" to "Bend." In 1886 mail was received twice weekly via stage from Prineville. Later a post office was estab lished three miles up the river and named "Deschutes" so the small city of Bend had two post' offices which,, after one election, nearly split families as one of fice was entirely Republican and the other used exclusively by Democrats. In 1906 the Bend postmaster re ceived 14 sacks' of mail in one day and it took almost all day to sort the mall. One item of rec ord says it -snowed 4'a inches on November 3, 1906. On January 4. 1938, the mail stage was late from Prineville, another Item says. It might also be noted from the an nals of the present that this same November 19th, 1955. the south bound mail train from Portland was late at Chemult and so the mail stage from Chemult was late making connections into Bend. But the present mall stage brings more than 14 pouches and 'sacks dally and the clerks and the postmaster of Bend do not take all day about it. In 1926 the Bend post office burned to the ground and was re placed by the present office. In 1946 Bend had one of the longest rural routes in the entire world, being 102 miles. Alsq just this last year an elderly patron gave up a box she had held for 44 years. Last year there were over 2-723,-000 pieces of first class mail hand led and over 160,000 metered pieces and parcel post too numer ous to mention. Guests were welcomed by Eve lyn P. Waldron, postmaster at Oretech and president of the Klamath County postmaslers. Guests were also greeted by Hope N. Brader, postmaster at Chemult and second vice presi dent of the National Association of Postmasters of the United States, Oregon Chapter 11. Mrs. Brader delivered regrets from Tom Pal mer, state president, and Mary Horn, Jennings Lodge, that they could not meet with the group due to the severity of the storm. Mrs. Brader urged early cooperation in membership and that a member ship drive would be started early In January instead of waiting to catch up with the stragglers later In the season. Speaker of the evening, Don Ac ton, assistant manager of opera tion from the district managers office of the Post Office Depart ment, Portland, gave a very com prehensive and instructive talk on post' office operations. . He gave some Impressive figures on just how big post office business is double the business of General Mo tors and four times the business of The Bell Telephone Company. The Post Office Department is really big business. ' Acton explained the working of the reclassification of all postal employes and how they shill be paid in the future. He said he was well pleased with the way the employes in Region 15 are taking hold of the new, methods and co operating with, the department in the new system worked out to speed up mail handling and rec ord making in the accounting de partments. At the close of his talk, Acton held a question and answer forum and settled many questions that had been puzzling postmasters and employes.

The Pentagon, acting on the urg ing of a non-junketing member of Congress, said it would disclose how many congressmen used mili tary transportation for overseas travel and how many took their wives, aides and "guests" along. The decision became known at the same lime the government owned Panama Canal Co. clamped a lid of secrecy on how many con gressmen are taking 15-day cruises to Panama at taxpayer expense aboard company liners. " W. M. Whitman, company secre tary, told a -reporter mat it was a "long standing" policy of the company's board of directors to keep secret how many congress men are taking the free cruises. The Defense Department said "several thousand" tnght mani fests must be hauled out of stor age in Kansas City, Mo., and ex amined along with records of "hundreds of changes" in congres sional Itineraries before full de tails of congressional junkets are made public. The department said it would take between six and eight weeks to compile the. records. Members of Congress, flocking Get DRIVEWAY CINDERS Now FROM GRAHAM BROS. Phone 5541 to all parts of the globe, probably racked up an all-tie record for overseas junkets this year. About 400 members are believed to have made trips abroad, mostly at tax payer expense. Many went to Russia. The military services, which supply most of the transportation and some of the meals and lodg ing, never have disclosed how many congressmen were accom modated. And many members of congress nave been happy to let that Information stay bottled up in uie pentagon. But one non-junketing member. who cannot now be named, has been critical of his colleagues' globe-trotting and has asked the defense department point blank for the lull story. Col. Wade M. Fleischer, Defense Department liaison officer, replied that the information would be sup plied. .., . "I wish to point out, however,1 Fleischer said, , "that due . to the numerous last minute changes which occur In the membership of congressional groups traveling abroad plus hundreds of 'changes in their itineraries while outside the United States, it has been de termined that an examination of each flight manifest is the only manner in which this information can be assembled with a reason-j able degree of accuracy."
