MAIL RATE BOOST
MOI. CONTEMPLATED
Brown Says Congress Will
Not Be Asked for First
Class increase.

Postmaster General Brown said to-
day that the Post Once Department
was not contemplating any recommen-
dations to Congress calling for an In
crease in first-class postal rates until it
had definite evidence that the handling
of first-class mail was contributing to
the annually growing deficit Of the de-
partment.
The present time the only analysis
of the cost of handling f1rSt-class mail
which the department possesses shows
that such mail is one Of the few sources
of profit In the department. There is
suspicion In the mind of the Post
master General, however, that the foun-
dalton of this analysis is faulty and
that new cost accounting system now
being worked out will show that the
Government does not make a profit on
flrst-class mail
Definite Data Hard TO Obtsin.
The Postmaster General said that
he had no hope Of securing any definite
information regarding the actual cost
of handling first-class mail until after
January l. Until that time, he said. all
talk OF raising postage rates would be
exceedingly premature"
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Tilton, recognized as one of the coun-
try's leading certified public account
ants, has been intr6sted with the task
Of finding out just how much 1t really
costs the Post ONCE Department to
handle mail. He has been In ONCE
slightly over three months, and in that
time, he says. has not had time to ar
rive at any definite conclusions about
the cost of the postal system. except
that it Is costing long hours and hard
work on the part of the third assistant.

INQUIRY IS BEGUN
IN WOMAN'S DEATH
Montgomery Official Asked to
Investigate Case of Ia.
k0ma Resident.

DIR. w. T. Pratt, health oficer for
Montgomery County, was asked today
to decide the cause of the death Of Mrs.
Louise E. Fraser, Sc years old, who was
found PROSTATE on the floor OF her
home. 215 Chestnut street. Takoma
Park, yesterday afternoon. with burns
about the face and shoulder from an
electric sweeper, and pronounced dead
on the arrival of DR.. j. r. Young CT
Casualty Hospital, summoned with the
rescue squad.
Cause Of Death In Doubt.
In the absence of any oficial word,
there was some doubt as to whether
she was q victim of heart trouble, with
which she suffered. or IL an electric
shock from the sweeper had any part
in her death No death certificate was
issued, and 1t was because of this sit
uation that DR.. Pratt was called in by
SerRt. Earl Burdine of the county police.
When Mrs. Fraser was found by her
husband, Samuel s. Fraser, her head
rested against the bottom OF the
sweeper.
Members of the family say Mrs
Fraser had been suffering from heart
disease for some time. They also said
there was a short circuit In the cleaner,
from which they believed she got q
slight electric shock.
DIR. Young was unwilling to say what
had caused Mrs. FraSer'S death, but
expressed the belief that it was inn
probable that there was sufncient volt
age of electricity In the sweeper to have
caused death from shock alone.
Husband a Former Policeman.
Her husband Is a retired member OF
the Metropolitan Police Force, on which
he served for many years, being de-
tailed for q number Of years to the
White House Police Force.
Besides her husband. Mrs. Fraser

The suggestion has been heard that

DR.WALSH RESUMES.
UNIVERSITY POST
Mediator Between Vatican
s~ytre
and Mexico Again Heads
Foreign Service School.

Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, s. j., of
Georgetown University. who was sum-
moned to Rome last July TO report to
Pope Plus XII on matters connected
with the peace settlement between the
Catholic Church and the government of
Mexico, has returned to Washington
preparatory to the reopening of the
academic term Of the Foreign Service
School, OF which he Is the regent
with the exception of q few days
after his return from Mexico City, Dr.
Walsh had been absent from this
country for nearly six months. He was
in the Mexican capital for more than
eight weeks prior to the settlement of
the three.year church controversy IN
which he was participant.
New Curriculum Planned.
His return to Washington at this
time was necessitated by the arrange
ments for the new curriculum which is
TO be inaugurated at the Foreign Serv-
Ice School this Fall. While in Europe,
DR.. Walsh announced, he formed i'm
portant correspondence contacts for
the proposed Foreign Service Review,
which Georgetown University Is shortly
to publish. He is now arranging for
the permanent endowment Of the re-
view, which will deal with international
questions and politics.
DR.. Walsh was an interested partici-
pant In the great religious ceremony in
Rome following the signing of the
Lateran treaty and described the demon
stration Of 500 ZOO persons who hailed
the flrst pontif to emerge from the
Vatican since the fall OF temporal
power. He declined to comment, how
ever. on matters connected with his
own mission to Rome.
For the Georgetown archives he OBJ
tanned a full collection of the limited
series of the FIRST issuance of Vatican
postage stamps. This series. he ex-
planned, Is In great demand by Eu-
ropean collectors. To make the collec-
ton of Vatican stamps complete for
the archives he secured also a collection
Of the issue of 1871, the last to bear
the Vatican mark before the fall of
temporal power
Stamps Are Cancelled.
The stamps In the Georgetown coll
lection are all Cancelled. which adds 10
their value. and the letters which
bore them were among the first to be
sent out through international postal
channels.
DIR. Walsh also brought back with
him very rare statue of Joan dare
and a valuable collection of hand-col-
ored reproductions of old masters OBJ
tanned in Italy and Spain. These will
be installed in the new dining hall at
the college.
For the first time on his many trips
TO Europe, DR.. Walsh was unable this
year to pursue his investigation of. Rus
sian conditions and studies of Soviet
Russian relations. Duties confined him
for the most part in Rome.
Prior to the opening of the academic
term at Georgetown he expects to con-
clude arrangements with the National
University of Mexico for two scholar
ships at the Foreign Service School
In previous years Georgetown main
tanned scholarships for Mexican stu
dents and 1t Is his wish that this
practice be resumed. He made pre-
liminary arrangements for them with
the Mexican government on the occa-
sion OF his visit to Mexico City last
