Jesse NJ Donaldson, successor to
Robert E. Hannegan as Postmaster
General, rose from the ranks in the
postal service on the only ladder
available for such high advance
ment, its inspection service.
He might have remained small
town postmaster and been the best
small-town postmaster in the busi-
ness, but the better he was the more
certain it would be that he would
remain in that assignment.
Made the Grade in 1915
But early in his career Mr.. DON
aldson determined to join the in
spection service, and in 1915, more
than six years after he submitted
his original application, he made
the grade. From there he went on
to become the first postal worker to
rise to head of the department with
cabinet rank. The Job usually is
regarded as a political plum, and in
recent years generally has gone to
the head of the national committee
Of the party in power.
In records of the department, Mr..
Donaldsons career begins in 1908,
when Shelbyville. Ill, first obtained
house-to- House delivery of mail and
the new Postmaster General was
named as one of the three carriers.
| But Mr.. Donaldson's own recollec-
ton of the postal service goes back
another five years, when he was a
gangling youth in his teens. His
father ran a general store and hay
and grain business at Hanson, ILL.,,
and was also the town postmaster.
"a fourth-class post office Mr..
Donaldson noted in an apologetic
aside as he was recounting the story
to the Post-Dispatch.

Asks Spec'l Session Alaska Legislature Consider Taxes

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, (P)-The Anchorage city council asked Gov ernor Gruening at a speciel meet ing yesterday to call special session of the Territorial Legs- lature immediately to consider new tax measures.
 Council members blamed the city's financial troubles on the city governments lack of power to raise money. They said they had the full back of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and that "all the cities" in Alaska were in the same fix.
