New Hampshire Republican
Suggests failing Talka-
tive Postmasters

WASHINGTON, May 9 -fR-1r-
ritated at criticism of Congress
sional economies, Senator Bridges
GRIND suggested today that post
masters at Boston, Mass, Hol-
land, Mich, and other points be
fired Or put in prison unless post
office heads here can control
them.
you have got to control EN-,
fire EN-. put 'em in prison or
we've got to do something about
it up here" Bridges, chairman of
the Senate Appropriations COM
mittee, told Jesse M. Donaldson,
first assistant postmaster general,
at a committee hearing.
Bridges and two other Repub :
lican members of the Appropria-
tons group, Senator Young Of
North Dakota and Ferguson Of
Michigan, joined in complaints
that postmasters were spending
more money than allowed by law
and then blaming Congress for
curtailed local services.
We've taken steps to see that
this won't happen again." the first
assistant postmaster general re-
piled. He promised that postal in
spectors would conduct special in
vestigations a t Boston, Holland
and other points where postmas-
tiers are reported to have blamed
Congress for service cutbacks.
Denies Suggestions
At the same time Donaldson
vigorously denied suggestions
by Bridges that ''brazen propa-
ganda" against Congressional
slashes in appropriations was Gin
spired" by Post Office depart
ment officials in Washington.
81 am as embarrassed as any
of you Senators about these state
ments. Donaldson said. He added
that the present Congress is moi
to blame because certain post.
masters spent more money than
the department here allotted
them.
Bridges said public officials car
be put in Jail for spending more
government funds than voted by
Congress and told Donaldson:

"These men have been deliberate

Much of Bridges criticism cen

NEXT SUGAR STAMP MAY BE
GOOD SON.. -.

- - GOOD SON.. ..
WASHINGTN, May 9. Up -
The next sugar ration stamp may
become good earlier than July l,
the originally scheduled date.
Cuban sugar is piling up in
Eastern seaboard refining centers
and the government may change
the effective date of the 10-pound
stamp to expedite buying of the
commodity.
Agriculture department officials
said that if more sugar does not
move into inland areas and into
consumer pantries during the next
few weeks, the nation may witness
"a sugar famine in the midst of
plenty" Later in the summer.
They explained that a shortage
Of freight cars may make it dltii
cult to move sugar from the East
after the new wheat crop starts
moving to market in June a = d
July. Large numbers Of freight
cars will be needed to move the
new grain crop to ports for ship
ments abroad.
Thus, officials said, areas a n d
consumers which put OF redeem
ing their sugar ration stamps and
stocking up now might be unable
to get supplies then.
The piling up OF sugar In the
East was said to reflect heavy i'm
ports from a. Cuban crop which is
considerably larger than last year
and to a changed consumer psy-
chology" for sugar.
No Consumer Rush
Officials said consumers are not
rushing to stores to buy their al.
lotments as quickly as they di6
during the var. They said many
are putting off purchase Of the
present ten pound allotment, par
Of which is designed to cover

get fruits to put up.
Likewise, many distributors are
said to be carrying smaller irven'
tories than during the a

Reds Term Bevin, BidouIt
AGENTS of American Plan

MOSCOW, July 10 P.-The Off
cial Russian news agency Tass, in a
Paris dispatch, accused British For
eign Secretary Bevin and French
Foreign Minister Bidault today of
being instruments of an American
plan to form a Western European
bloc of nations and isolate the
Soviet Union.
The dispatch, published promi-
nently by all central Soviet news
papers, was the plainest speaking
yet by the Soviet press in connec-
ton with Secretary of State Mar
shalls proposal for economic aid to
Europe.
Tass also accused the United
States, Britain and France of trying
to bring Western Germany into a
Western bloc and suggested that
Secretary of Commerce Hartman
and Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son, who visited Germany this week,
had gone there to help the project
along.

At the State Department some
surprise and disappointment were

in Warsaw last night. This arose
from the fact that the Polish EN-
bassy here had declared more than
two weeks ago the Warsaw govern

plan for European recovery.
Moreover, there was no doubt
among officials most familiar with

Wharton |ndorses Bill
To Alter D. {. JobIess
Compensation Act

G. A. Wharton, chairman OF the
District Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board, today told q Senate
subcommittee he greatly favors" an
amendment to the District Urem-
ployment Compensation Act which
would benefit employers who shut
up shop during the war because
they were serving in the armed
forces.
= Mr. Wharton told Chairman KEN
OF the Senate District Committees
Judiciary Subcommittee that the
amendment gives the employer who
entered military service the same
rights as the employe who entered
the service"
About 95 per cent of the estimated
1000 employers who would benefit
from passage Of the measure would
be professional men such as doctors,
lawyers and dentists, Mr.. Wharton
said.
Louis Mackall, jr., attorney for
the Compensation Board, told Sen
ator KEN that Corporation Counsel
Vernon West had asked him to in
form the subcommittee the District
Commissioners are in favor Of the
amendment.
The measure has already passed
the House.
District employees pay into the
compensation fund a tax of from
2.7 per cent of their annual payroll
to as low as one-tenth of ! per cent.
The rate is determined by tax rec
ords. Rate reductions for employ
ers are based on a record of three
years consecutive operation.
The amendment would provide
that employers who went out of
business because Of war service
would be deemed for the record to
have been in continuous operation.
Senator KEN ordered the hear
ing continued until 10 am. tomor-
row after Mrs. Ann Dodge Goodbee,
Washington attorney, proposed a
second amendment to the law. This
amendment would provide that en-
ployers who had paid hgih COM
pensation rate after purchasing an
old business entitled to a low rate
would receive a refund.
Mr.. Warton told the subcommittee
he was not prepared to take a stand
for or against the new proposal
Senator KEN asked him to testify
on it at tomorrow's session.
