P. o. Revenue Will Surposs 117 Millions

Washington, Feb. 19 - (U.P) - Postal revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30 will exceed expendi- lures of $117643,897, the House Ap- propriations Committee reported to- day.
 The surplus revenue, the commit tee said in recommending 1946 ap- propriationS for the post office and Treasury departments, was drought about by the abnormal amount of mail incident to wartime civilian activity as well as mailings to mem berS of the armed forces"

 The 1946 estimate, however, does include overtime pay for postal en- ployes which amounts to approxi- mately $110,000,000 annually. The overtime pay act expires June 30, and is expected to be re-enacted..
 For operation of the Post Office Department for the year beginning July l, the committee recommended $1,342,813,090, which is $59,873, ,729 less than the current years appro- priation.
 Direct appropriations recommend ed for the Treasury Department to- tailed $285, 63,800, which is $4,688,- 497 less than that authorized for the current year.

He indicated clearly that the presence of wom- en prevented him from using the kind of language he felt necessary in talking about the enemy.
 Discussing the strategic value of Two Jima, he pointed out even medium bomberS could bomb Tokyo from there and could be protected by fighter planes. It is only 750 miles from the Japanese capital.
 We can cover B-29's or anything with fighters from there" Halsey said
 Two Jima has two airfields; can accommodate three.
 If necessary the seabees will build another island and put four or five in there," he added
 Halsey was accompanied by mem bers of his staff They included his flag secretary, Cmdr. Harold StaS- sen, former governor of Minnesota, who has been named delegate to the April 25 world organization con- ferecne at San Francisco.
 Asked whether he would give Stassen a leave of absence for the conference, Halsey grinned and said that he was giving it serious con- sideration"
