jue place.

about, we are hoping something
tangible may grow out of this.

The haste with which the postal

through Congress is 'unprece-

secretary of the Associated Busi-

Such alacrity can reult only in
"disarrangement of the postal

Neal demanded that newspaper and

more time to present their case
before the committee.
I'VE have not had time to go
over the bill or to study the cost
