CONGRESS PROGRAM
Meeting Tomorrow to Resume
Merit System, Pay and Hours
Discussions.

The National Legislative Council of
Federal Employe Organizations tomor-
row will resume consideration of the
program for Government workers to
be urged in the next Congress, in a
meeting at the Colorado Building.
At the first session last week the
council decided to center efforts on
bolstering the merit system; pay res
toration as of January l, and elm
nation Of excessive hours of work.
These three items have since been
Endorsed by the Maryland State Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees Unions,
at meeting in Baltimore, following
talks by Luther c. Steward, president
of the National Federation of Federal
Employees, and Miss Gertrude McNally,
secretary-treasurer, who emphasized
the necessity of stemming the in
roads being made on competitive civil
service principles.
In addition to the National Feder-
alton Of Federal Employees, the groups
represented in the legislative council
are the National Rural Letter Carriers
Association, United National Associa-
ton of Post Office Clerks, National
Association of Postal Supervisors, Ma
tional Federation Of Post ONCE Motor
Vehicle Employees and National Asso-

tanning Christmas greetings be mailed
not later than Saturday. the 22nd."
Speaking Of extra facilities required,
including . feet Of 265 trucks, Mr..
Mooney said, "The remarkable growth
Of the parcel post system b shown by
the fact that daily delivery in normal
times Is 10000 parcels, while the
average number delivered by auto
mobile daily for the period from De-
cember l6 to "a reaches the astound-
ing total Of $4,000. The washington
Office delivers on ordinary days an
average Of 5000 special delivery pieces,
and during the Christmas period this
total reaches 10000 q day."
In connection with the mailing Of
packages, the postmaster asks that
particular attention be paid to the
wrapping and addressing Of them.
Contents should be fastened or pro-
tected inside the packages, stout
boxes, cord and wrapping paper should
be used and the addresses should be
written plainly in ink or waterproof
crayon. Names should be spelled out.
Odd sized cards should be avoided
Money, either in bills or change,
should be sent only in registered en-
velopes, and Mr.. Mooney sjd the
preferable way Of transmitting funds
is by money order.
In his speech before the Advertising
Club, the postmaster directed q spe-
cial appeal to the business men, sug-
gesting that they give the same at.

your mail to accumulate until closing

you the advantages Of mailing early
and at frequent intervals during the

"A recent survey indicates that
only 20 per cent Of all letter mail is
deposited before 8 pm, that rs per
cent is deposited between $50 and II
pm. You need only consider your
own business during . rush period to
realize how much better service we
can give your mail before the rs per
cent daily rush begins. Our aim Is to
secure the increase Of mail deposited
before 3 pm. Such mail connects
with the early evening trains and q

saved"

points out. Through this procedure,

posal Of the Trafic Advisory Council
that nighttime parking be prohibited
on 80 main trafic arteries during the

The association declared in q reso-

that since there have been only six

HOWARD's-. BUDGET.
BALANCED BY CUTS.
Reduction of Teaching Staff
Credited With Helping
Fiscal Policy.

Drastic reductions in the teaching
staff at Howard University, with sal
aries far below the average agreed
upon by the Government" were con-
triputing factors enabling the uni
versity to balance its budget during
the past fiscal year. according to the
annual report of President Mordecai
w. johnson.
It was necessary to reduce the
teaching staff by IS members, DR..
johnson reported to the Interior De-
partment, and needed advances in
rank were delayed for the third sue
cessive year."
Another problem confronting How
ard University, which Is principally
maintained by the Government, is
the fact that the institution has yet
'about halfway to go in the develop
ment of staff Of mature professors"
Examination of university salaries,
the report said, confirms this judg-
ment.
"a Scholars Needed.
The university is spending approx
mately $175,000 less in salaries than
would be necessary to obtain and hold
the services of sufficient number Of
mature professors. THE securing Of
81 capable scholars for important
positions on the PROFESSIONAL staff is
the outstanding educational need"
DR.. johnson said. "An other i'm
provements are subsidiary to and
wait upon this for their fullest ef-
fectiveneSs."
In setting up q 10-year program
for the development Of Howard Uni
versity, the Government agreed upon
a definite salary scale for teachers.
Despite partial restoration of the is
per cent reduction in all Government
pay, the report reminds that the sal
ary cuts struck the teachers before
the minimum salaries in this scale
could be uniformly established.
The result Is that during the fiscal
year 78 of the 1876 fuH-time members
of the teaching staff we're receiving
actual salaries below the minimum for
their rank agreed upon by the Gov
ernment in the 10-year program" the
report points out.
Only Eight Above Average.
"Forty-nine others received salaries
slightly above minimum, but below the
average, while only eight, or less than
6 per cent, received salary at or
above the agreed-upon average.
Under these circumstances it ap-
pears imperative that the full amount
Of the prevailing salary cut shall be
restored at the earliest possible mo-
ment and that additional funds be
secured to enable Howard University
to improve the salary offerings to its
teachers"
So far as the physical plant at the
university Is concerned, a progressive
building program was started with the
aid Of $4,000 900 in public works funds
Since these appropriations bids have
shown building construction costs to
have risen by II per cent and scientific
equipment costs 68 per cent, the re-
port said. So far the Public Works
Administration has awarded the uni
versity an additional sum Of $85, 500,
or approximately per cent, to make
possible the construction of the build
ings.
The building program includes
chemistry building, library, recitation
building and heat, light and power
plant.

Mooney Adds to Postal Force,
Anticipating Heaviest Yule
Increases in Staff to Continue Until
Christmas Early
Mailing Plea Tonight.

Anticipating the heaviest holiday
mail in the history Of the Washington
post ofiice, Postmaster w. NJ. Mooney
said today he will start to add extra
help this week and will increase the
staff steadily until Christmas day.
Population increase in the District,
caused by the increase in Government
personnel, already has had q marked
effect on regular mail banded here,
Mr.. Mooney said, and is expected to
be even more noticeable in the holiday
rush. This rise in holiday volume
started during the past week, Mr..
Mooney said, with the mailing Of q
considerable number of packages to
the West Coast and other distant
points. It is hoped, however, the
pickup will be much greater this week
Evening star., 1934-12-11

30 that the last-minute rush will be
correspondingly less.
Thousands Of applications for the
part-tme temporary jobs In the local
postal service have been coming in
for several weeks, Mr.. Mooney said,
many Of which already have been ap-
proved and the men told when to re-
port. During recent Christmas Pc
riods, about $50 extra carriers, 1900
extra clerks and 100 extra laborers
have been added to the regular force,
but even greater re-enforcements are
to be taken on this season, the post
master said.

Dear Mr.. Sample:
This is in answer to your letter of
November 5. We have prepared an
"Epitome Of the History of Imperial
Valley" enclosed herewith, which
may possibly be what your client
desires regarding FL Centre. How
ever, it seems exceedingly doubtful
that a national advertiser should
wish to go thus deeply into the sub
ject. Please glance at the enclosed
epitome, and if you do not think it
will fill the bill, kindly return it as
we are down almost to our last copy
If, however. it is what he desires,
we shall be glad to have you use the
same.
FL Centro has not much history of
its own, but has to depend upon the
historical background of Imperial
Valley, as our city was founded only
25 years ago. We like to think it
has made moderate progress for
ward in that interval. We are glad,
of course, to be of any possible
service to you.
Perhaps your client is more inter.
ested in the scenic attractions than
i'll the historic, and we shall be
glad to supply your needs, whatever
they may be. Please command us.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT HAYS,
