POSTAL BUSINESS
METHODS FLAYED
Commerce Body Holds Deficit
in Department Due to
Antiquated Work.

Holding that a businesslike account
ing system would convert the $37.-
900, 900 operating deficit of the Post
Office Department into a surplus, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States yesterday launches a campaign
10 introduce modern business methods
into the accounting methods used by
the department.
Letters have been sent out to the
more than $500 constituent members
of the chamber on the subject. The
apparent deficit, the letter explained,
is due to the fact that the Govern.
ment charges against the department
all the free and less-than.cost services
which are part of governmental
policy.
Experience has definitely demon
Strated," President Lewis l.. PierSon
says in the communications, that the
present scale of postal rates is not on
a reasonable basis and is resulting in
considerable harm to various users of
the mails and therefore to the public
in general.
Hearings Bring Facts.
"These facts have been brought out
at the various hearings before the
post Office committee of Congress, and
the postal service committee of the
chamber has rendered a report which
shows clearly that revision of postal
rates should be made as soon as pos
sible.
There has been a more or less gen
orally accepted idea that the receipts
from the postal service should fully
cover of the costs of that service
This is contrary to accepted business
principles and overlooks the fact that
efficiency and adequacy of the service
should be the first consideration.
cit also overlooks the fact that Con-
gress. in its wisdom, has seen At TO

of governmental policies by the grant
ing and extending, of free or less
than-cost' services.

BOYS BODY FOUND
IN POTOMAC RIVER
Recovered Near Float Where Har-
old Bennett, 5, Disappeared
While in Bathing.

A search that had continued all
through the previous night was ter
minated at noon yesterday when the
body of 5-year-old Harold Bennett
was found in the Potomac River a
short distance from the float where
he was last seen late Friday after
noon while in bathing with his broth
er. Kenneth, IS, and two other COM
paniOns.
The body was located by Tom Don
aldson. one of the group enlisted in
the hunt by the child's father, Norris
Bennett, of 1896 Girard street, when
Harold disappeared while going for
his clothing to the float anchored at
Sandy Beach. just above Key Bridge.
1t is believed the boy either may
have been caught in the backwash
caused by speeding boat. or possibly
was catapulted in the river from the
float by the swells.

body and removed it to the morgue

the Philies were not looked upon as
likely to get far away from the second
division There has been an evident
improvement in tho Phils. In 1925
about this time they were seventh,
with II victories and IS defeats. and
today they are third with 13 victories
and 10 defeats. OF course, last year at
this time they had p.ayed more games
than they have to date. When they
get caught up on their total their

Giants a Jinx for Reds.
Every team in the National League
in one way or antoher is better off
right now than at this time last sea-
son except Cincinnati and Brooklyn,
Both have Topped hard, although
Brooklyn today is much better than
it was few weeks back, If both teams
get started, the interesting question
arises as TO which club Cincinnati will
take it out on the hardest.
In 1926 the Reds won but seven
games from the Giants which is one
of the reasons why Cincinnati did not
win the pennant In 1927 the Reds
have started out no better against New
York. Last year the Giants enjoyed
nothing more than telling the Reds
they couldn't see any part of them as
pennant team. and now they prob
ably are up to their old tricks.
Bisonette is the best fence-buster of

them noisly over the barriers for Buff
falo, to which club he was sent by
Brooklyn. He plays first base and
there are plenty Of persons who think
that he can play the position better
than Babe Herman, who was retained
by Brooklyn, when Bissonette moved
on to Buffalo. Herman is an unfortu-
nate youth. He picks out the most
damaging moments to make errors. He
is batting ,269, which is about right
for him.
