College Park Post. No 327. one
Of the smallest in the American
Legion. has been doing yeoman
work in drumming up and re-
facilitating men and boys for
service in the armed forces who
otherwise would have been re-
jected permanently because Of
their defects and lack OF finances.
This organization Of about 90
members started its rehabilitation
plan in October Of 1871 and since
that time. through minor opera
tions and dental work performed
under It's direction, has placed 800
men in the services who other
wise would not be there.
The plan was conceived when
the College Park Post found that
il could not enter the OCD setup
in body and its officers turned
10 the task of doing something
for the war effort on their own
accord. Under the direction of
Chairman William Malloy OF the
post welfare committee the plan
was worked out.
OTHER GROUPS AID
Cooperation was obtained from
the various Detroit clinics, Detroit
Dental Society and the American
Legion physicians and dentists.
The army. marine and naval
cadet selection boards than started
TO send n1pH 10 the College, Park
unit. The day after Pearl Harbor
incident 100 boys and men were
sent.
Az the American Legion con-
vention in Kalamazoo this year
the plan was adopted for the en-
tire state and today other posts
throughout the state are organiz-
ing for the same fine effort.
INSTALL RECRUITING UNIT
This summer, on a vacant lot
corner Of Fenkell and LivernoiS
avenues, a marine corps recruiting
office was installed by the College
Parkers in tent.
The objective was placed at two
battalions OF men in the service
by December z, the anniversary
OF Pearl Harbor. This drive was
made a community affair and en-
listmeHts have been coming so fast
that the goal now has been boosted

New Machine Eliminates
Postage Stamp

Science took another step for
ward today when a machine tc
eliminate the old-fashioned post
age stamp was installed in the
main post office in the Federal
Building.
The machine, used successfully
in New York. is known as the
Mailomat. To mail a letter or a
number Of letters the sender
merely deposits the total postage
in a slot in the machine, then
turns a dial TO the amount OF
postage desired for each letter
and drops the letters in another
opening.
From there on the machine does
the rest. The letter is automatic
cally stamped and deposited for
collection. The machine stamps
letters for special delivery and air
mail and can handle Is letters a
minute. Another machine has been
ordered for the lobby of the post
office and a third will be placed
in the Highland Park branch.

PilzninSki's expression of love

Social Justice
Hearing Put Off
ByU. 5. toMay4
Seller Of Magazine

$4,000 Fine or Prison

A scheduled hearing on an order
to show cause why the second
class mailing privileges of the
magazine Social Justice should not
be permanently revoked was post
poned from April 20 TO May 4
today by Postmaster Genera
Frank c. Walker.
The policy and statements OF
the magazine, for which the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin has declared
himself directly responsible, moved
Walker at the request Of Atty.
Gen. Francis Biddle to ban il from
the mails under the 1917 Espio-
mage Act.
Another wartime act, the Trad
ing With the Enemy Act, Biddie
explained yesterday, also forbids
Transporting or distributing it by
any means. O
Under this act neWsboy SELL
Ing the magazine on a street cor
ner is liable TO a $4,000 fine or
Imprisonment for not more than
10 years.
Application Of the act thus
makes publication of the maya
zine a useless gesture, since 1t
cannot legally be put into the
hands of its readers. The order
Is in force pending the outcome
OF the May 4 hearing.
Biddle accused the publication
of using Axis propaganda themes.
