A MAN entering the postal service
"A is appointed a substitute en-
ploye. This period of substitution
lasts for an indefinite period; some
times six months and, again, men
have been known to retire as substi-
tutes after 80 years of service.
Upon appointment to regular
position, which follows only after
some fellow employe separates him
self from the postal service through
death or retirement, man enters as
a first-grade post office clerk, al
though, if his accumulated hours as
substitute warrant it, he may be
appointed to other grades.
Upon reaching top, or fifth,
grade, there is no other rung on the
ladder; he has REACHED THE
TOP. He may some day become
supervisor, but the average clerk
remains where he is.
There is no further increase in
salary except through OVERTIME.
A T THIS time when the cost Of
n living is rising, a man earns, or
attempts to earn, an increase in sal
airy by means of overtime. However,
if your rate of overtime is less than
your straight time, there is no incen-
tive.
This last statement perhaps re-
quires an explanation.
Before the 40-hour week law was
passed, the working year of the pos
tai clerk consisted of 306 working
days. But the law FAILED TO
PROVIDE OUR OVERTIME PAY
ON THIS BASIS; we are still paid
on the old BOG working-day year.
At this time efforts are being
made in Congress to correct this.
Post office clerks are public serv-
ants-perhaps one Of the most i'm
portant. There is an old saying that
dates back to the days of the pony
express-"that the mail must get
through"
The functioning of business de-
ponds upon the mail. Important con-
tracts and business transactions are
only part of what passes through the
hands of the postal clerk. Personal
mail with no monetary value, but
with great intrinsic value also forms
part of the days work. Newspapers
from all over the country, magazines
and advertising mediums form big
bulk of mail that must be handled.
This requires constant work and
effort on the part of the post office
clerk.
THE clerk is required to take
i scheme examination every year.
These schemes change very often
and he must be on his toes to keep
up with these changes.
On these examinations, speed and

OUR OWN IDEA FOR
A r

A PARTY PLATFORM
I've are as confused, puzzled,
exasperated and uncertain as any
body else and in the interest Of can
dor start this platform by saying so.
2-f there ever was a time when
we didn't profess to know all the
answers this is it.
3-We believe that the voters of
this country see the futility of words
as never before, and that the in
fluence of gas over horse-sense is
at an all-time low.
1--WE hold that deeds, not words
count in this critical hour, and that
long-winded keynoters, orators, plat
form makers and plank builders are
in the public mind comparable
only to the fellow who yodels at
three-alarm fires, gives demonstra-
tons in voice throwing in time
of flood and cyclone, and goes in to
have a recording made Of his voice
during earthquakes.
Agriculture.
We are in favor of agriculture,
we sympathize with home-garden-
ers trying to raise iceberg-lettuce,
we blame the opposition party for
the radish and think the Atlantic
Charter should be extended to in
clude the potato bug in the uncondi-
tional surrender. We believe in the
tomato and promise a better post
war squash.
Labor.
We reaffirm our belief that labor
is a good thing and in the interests
Of candor, admit our main interest
in it is the votes. We do not think
the question is so much what will
you do for labor?" as What will
labor do for us?"
Foreign Policy.
We promise to change our foreign
policy in the theory that any change.
however slight, will be a big inn
provement. We are pretty mixed
up ourselves on our foreign policy
and wish nobody had brought up the
darned thing at this time.
Tariff.
It's high enough on everything,
especially restaurant checks, tele-
phone bills and a good rye or
Scotch.
Army and Navy.
We are men enough to admit that
we owe 1t everything, that it makes
this convention possible and that
there isn't a man in either service
who would have the gall to devote
any Of his time in this grave crisis
to the trivial business of kidding
the public through party platforms.
Air Forces.
Well, it makes politicians, orators,
platform trainers, gimme-gimme
boys, main-chancers and baloney
experts seem a pretty scurvy crew,
doesn't it?
Money.
We ind0rse money unqualifiedly.
! We think there should be more Of
it. We believe a way can be found
to pipe it through hoses. We are
against . new zinc penny and be-
lieve the dollar bill should buy the
article instead Of merely paying the
tax on it.
Social Security.
| We favor social security for all
and all for social security. We are
opposed to worry.
Business.
We think business is a good thing
and that there is a place in it for
business men. But we advise steel
helmets. plenty of headache pills
and extra football equipment. We
favor larger matches for burning
questionnaires.
Pinup Girls.
We believe they are the outstand-
ing need Of American business men
and that, profting on the splen-
did results to the morale Of the
army, they should be tried by every
plant owner and executive.

Louisiana Election
Marked by Odd Split
As Davis, Long Lead
BY the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20.-Elec-
ton of a Governor backed by the
current. reform administration,
and Lieutenant Governor who has
made no bones about his desire to
return the State to "the liberal
regime it enjoyed under my brother,
Huey P. Long" appeared likely in
Louisiana today.
On the basis of late unofficial re-
turns from 1,008 of 1857 precincts in
Louisianas Democratic primary,
James H. Jimmie" Davis of Shreve-
port topped the Old Regulars elderly
Lewis l.. Morgan by 1858 votes in
the Governors race. Earl K. Long,
Old Regular candidate, led his near
est rival, Emile Verret of New Iberia,
by 35,726 for Lieutenant Governor.
The irony of Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Long as possible capitol teammates
is illustrated by a home-stretch
stump speech of Mr.. Long in which
he said SongWriter- Actor Davis
would make fine governor, what
with spending half his time in
Hollywood playing in movies"
The governors count gave Mr..
Davis 94.516 votes: Mr.. Morgan,
S6,883; Representative James H.
Morrison, 33,670: Mayor Sam S..
Caldwell of Shreveport, 1928;
State Senator Dudley J. LIE Blanc,
15,402; State Senator Ernest Glenn

lousas attorney, 1888, and Lee
Lanier, Amite newspaper publisher,

Lieutenant Governor figures for
952 of 1857 precincts gave Mr.. Long

64,869, and Frank Ellis Caldwell
ticket, 51,041. GLADDEN. Harrison

Raj Blasts STUTTGART
Twice During Night;
Nurnberg Also Hit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 20-The RAF'
made a shattering double-header at
tack last night on Stuttgart, one of
the main centers of electrical en-
gineering industries in Germany,
with two large forces of Halifaxes
and Lancasters pounding the city
four hours apart.
| A third rge-scale attack was car
ried out simultaneously on Nurn-
berg, another engineering center,
and a lighter raid was made on
Wiesbaden, in the Rhineland. More
than 1000 bombers participated in
the four attacks.
While not common practice, 1t
was not the first time that RAF
night raiders have struck twice in
the same place. Several months
ago they hit Cologne three times be-
tween sunset and sunrise.
The first wave was over Stuttgart
last night about $3.50 o'clock, and
when the second force reached the
city shortly before l am, crews
said fires were still burning from
the initial blow. The bombers bat
tied storms and icing conditions to
and from the target and both at
tacks were made through thick
clouds.
1t is round trip of approximately
600 miles tn both Stlttpart and
Nurnberg. A few German night
fighters were seen but there were
few combats.
Crews said by the time the last
ship started it's bomb run over
Stuttgart the clouds were Lit up by
a deep new glow, with planes show
ing through in places and smoke
rising to height of miles. A large
explosion occurred during the first
attack.
Stuttgart, less than 70 miles from
the Swiss border on the main lines
from Zurich and Munich, is one of
the favorite targets of both British
and American bomberS. Many of its
key factories have been damaged
seriously, but the Germans always
made an effort to repair them
quickly.
Nurnberg produces a big share of
Germany's Diesel engines, arma-
tanks and electrical equip
ment. 1t likewise is an important
railway center.
