Higher Postal Rates Proposed
(New York Sun


 Two conflicting schools of thought are likely to meet in head-on collision at the hearings later thls month before the Senate Committee on ClV SerVlce' when the Post Office Departments proposals to ln- crease various postal rates will be considered The Post Office Department has seldom been operated at
 profit but the prospective deficit of S2870oOooo m the fiscal year 1948 is not in tune with the general plan to reduce Federal expenditures retire part of the public debt provide some sort Of tax rellet The Post Office Department, without apparent prompting from anybody in Congress has prepared Scheoule of increased and fees to apply to virtually every thing that the department handles except first-cass letter mail and air mail.
 These proposals are based upon the departments s own figures On the of handling various classes o mail and of providing various classes of service But this does not that the proposals Will not pc sharply challenged. both the grounds that the de- pattments costs not accurate and that SerVce to the public requires the department n thlS instance or that to do business at less than cost Regardless o the arguments introduced at the hearings higher postal rates and fees seem inevitable though It IS unlikely that Congress will take all the steps which would be required to wipe out the entire prospective deficit

UNDER THE DOME

The private session of Ohio Leg islatorS at Senator Taft's home last week was featured by short and sweet speech by Senator Brick ped aside for Taft in 1940 and Taft had stepped aside for him in l944, it was now his turn to yield to Taft for the Presidential nomina- ton. All hands then rallied to push Ohio's favorite son toward the White House - though some with tongue-in- cheek Someone re- marked that when the smoke of Senate battle clears away the pub lie will see Taft in clearer per spective and his Presidential chances will be better But many had the distinct feeling that if the Taft bandwagon didn't roll fast enough, Bricker would be quite willing to unsheath his sword and bow back into the running. there's usually DdCRSCdSe Dralll truster in the lives of great men. FDR's early life, for instance, was .ded bf Louis Howe And when EX- Gov. Charles Whitman died in New York the other day most peo- pie had forgotten that it was Her bert Bayard Swope, then a young reporter for the New York World, , who woke up District Attorney Whitman at am after the lam ous Rosenthal murder and made him visit the scene of the crime. Swope was Whitmans brain trust CT during the sensational months when police Lieut.. Charles Becker was sent to the chair, but he would not go to Albany when Whitman became Governor i If you look behind Elder Statesman Bernie Baruch and his adroit public relations today, you will find the same Herbert Swopt who started Whitman toward the Goyernorship

Nom Veterans Show More
Inclination For Jobs

Columbus, March 26-There were
116, ,l29 persons registered for work
with the Ohio State Employment
Service, a division of the Ohio Bur-
eau of Unemployment Compensa-
ton, at the end of February, Dale
Dunifon, administrator of the Bur-
eau, informed Governor Thomas J.
Herbert today.
This number represented a one
per cent decrease from January, but
included a growing proportion of
non-veteran men as compared with
veterans The proportion of no-vet-
eran men registered with the en-
ployment service division has been
increasing for the past four months,
Mr.. Dunifon said, growing from %
per cent last October to 36 per cent
during February. There were 32,618
non-veteran men, $500 veterans
and 26,921 women registered for jobs
as of February %.
Employment service referrals re-
suited in a total of 1904 placements
of workers in jobs during February,
a drop of 8 per cent from January.
The administrator said this de-
crease was in part explained by the
short month and also by the curtail-
ment in certain industrial lines
caused by widespread fuel gas short
ages. TWo-thirds of the drop in
placements occurred in the metal,
fabrication and machinery in
dustries.
At the close of February there
were still 1928 untitled job open
inps on file with local offices of the
Ohio State Employment Service.

Unemployment Benefits
Now On Decrease Scale

Columbus, March 26-Unemploy-
ment benefits in Ohio dropped one
third in Ohio during February, but
the decrease was largely attributed
to the new bi-weekly reporting of
claimants, Dale Dunifon, administra-
tor of the Ohio Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation, reported
today to Governor Thomas ]. Her
bert.
Payments totaled $4,O94,138, with
$2,646,517 going to unemployed ex-
servicemen in Federal Readjustment
Allowances and $1,447,62l being
paid from the states unemployment
ompe ems a tt o n fund. The total
amount would have been higher, Mr..
Dunifon said, but because of the
new bi-weekly procedure, many
payments which arily
would have been issued to the un-
employed in the last week of Feb
ruary did not go out until in March.
The Bureau was forced to put all
claimants on a bi-weekly reporting
basis in February because of the
layoffs of nearly half of the BUG
claims personnel throughout the
state necessitated by a drastic cut
