Change in Postal
Rates Is Doomed

Washington. Dec. 1S-(P)-The life
/ of the joint congressional commission
created nearly two years ago to in
quire into the ACCESSIBILITY of revising
I postal rates. came to a close today
without a final majority report being
made.
The majority filed statement with
both the House and Senate announc-
ing that because of differences of
opinion" there was no recommends
ton to supplement that made last
May and published at that time.
1.-THE recent Investigations of the
postoffice department" the majority
reported, do not lead the postmaster
general to any conclusion which may
be taken as a warrant for further
recommendations on the part of the
commission"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, Ten
nessee, filed a minority report, pro-
posing that rates on second class
matter, as existing in 1920, should be
restored as should the 1-cent rate on
third class matter. He also recon-
mended repeal of the service charge
of cents on parcel post.
In a statement issued tonight, ]. D.
Barnum, chairman of the postal COM
mittee of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, expressed re-
greet at the commissions failure to
make legislative recommendations.
He said that daily newspaper pub
fishers were hopeful Congress would
see it's way clear to approve Senator
McKellar's recommendation for a
restoration of the 1920 rates and the
establishment of a news-deal- -3' bum
die rate for transportation of daily
newspapers through the mails.

Evidence of Juggling
Alien Enemy Property
Involving Half Billion

York World, in a special dispatch
from Washington, says President
Coolidge has in his possession a re-
port by Comptroller General McCarl.
on the administration of the halt
billion dollars worth of alien enemy
property seized during the World
war, disclosing that excessive
amounts. aggregating millions, were
paid for attorneys fees, for commits
sions to depositors and other expen-
Ses."
The World says transcript of the
report discloses the following: .
Corporations supposed to be liq-
Undated were permitted to continue
for years, for the benefit only of Of
ficers and attorneys. Salaried gov
eminent employees were paid addi-
tional amounts from trust funds.
Limitations placed by congress on
expenses of administration were dis
regarded in big matters and small
funds were left for years In the pos
session of certain individuals without
any serious attempt at collection.
Interest on trust funds was with
drawn from the treasury which paid
more than four per cent, and deposit
ed in banks paying less than two
per cent The securities taken over
were so scattered through banks and
trust companies throughout the
states. that administration was ex-
pensive and difficult. Individual trust
accounts were incomplete.
"a half million dollars in alleged
undistributable assets transferred
from a prior custodian was with
drawn from the treasury in violation
of the trading with the enemy act
Large expense accounts compensated
for small salaries. Government en-
ployes rode in private cars at the
expense Of trust funds. Annual re-
ports did not list the entire force on
the payroll.
