A New Plan Is Proposed

Associated Press1

Stockholm, April 26.--A postal
checking account system whereby
the Swedish postoffice department
will be enabled to do limited COM
mercial- banking business is proposed
by Anders Oerne, Minister Of COM
munications. The bill also provides
that the present postal sayings de-
partment be merged with the post
office service.
Under the proposed system, which
is meeting some opposition from
the banking interests Of the coun-
try, small depositOrs in the reorgan-
lied postal interests Of the country,
small depositors in the reOrganized
postal savings banks could draw
their own checks instead of buying
postal money orders. This system
Minister Oerne contends, would ef-
feet a saving in the salaries Of Off
cials and money order clerks and
other expenses. He declares that
less than one-third of the clerical
force now required could handle the
work under the new arrangement.

UNCOVERED ENEMY'S WORK
But Sabotage Came Too Late to In
pure Uncle Sam
[ IAssocIated Press


Leesburg, Florida, April 90
What is believed to be an example
of sabotage practical by enemies
Of this country during the World
War has come to light here. A con-
Germ In the north manufacturing
bolts and castings for the govern
ment had a larges quantity Of ma
terial left at the time Of the armis-
tice and a corporation constructing
factory here purchased several
thousands of the bolts. They ap-
pearred to be perfect until mechan-
les attempted to use them. Then it
was discovered that many had been
sawed almost to the center from
both sides at the threaded end,
leaving a bare eighth of an inch Of
metal intact. The nuts on the dam
aged bolts had been screwed down
to a point where they concealed the
cuts.
Had the bolts been sent abroad
they would have been useless for
the purpose for which they were de-
signed.

here of former soldier students at
