In u. ). Scheduled 10
Begin September |
BY the Assoeietsd Press

Inauguration of domestic air par
eel post service on September / was
announced formally last night by
Postmaster General Donaldson.
Authorized by Congress early this
year, 1t will give the Nation its first
low-cost air delivery Of package
mail.
Under the broad authority which
he has over foreign mail service, Mr.
Donaldson began such a service for
overseas parcel post last year. How
ever, congressional action was re-
quired to establish the same system
inside the country.
The Postmaster General expressed
belief the service will be "a popular
and welcome addition to our postal
facilities"
Weight to Be Limited.
Air parcel post will cover sealed
or unsealed mail weighing more
than ounces. but not more than
10 pounds and not exceeding 1OC
inches in length and girth COM
blned.
The distance zones which deter
mine the surface parcel post charge
will also provide the basis for
charges for air delivery. on a sliding
scale. These begin at IS cents for
the first pound and cents for
each additional pound in zones l
and 2 Cup to $50 niles and ad-
vance to 80 cents for the first pound
and 65 cents for each additional
pound in zone lover 1900 miles,
However, sealed parcel post will
be subject to a minimum charge of
3 cents .per ounce or fraction
thereof.
Rates Are Outlined.
For instance a two-pound un-
sealed package sent two zones would
cost S. cents for the first pound
plus cents for the second, to total
of SO cents. But If the two pound
package was sealed, the minimum
rate of 3 cents an ounce would ap-
ply, making the two pound t32
ounce package cost SO cents by air
parcel post.
A fiat rate of 80 cents pound or
fraction will apply to packages
moving more than 1900 miles be-
tween continental United States
points and territories and posses
sions; to the more than 1900 miles
hauls between Or within the terri
tories and possessions: and between
the United States, its possessions
and territories and Army post Of
fees and Fleet post Offices overseas.
The air parcel post rates compare
with the regular domestic air mail
rate of 5 cents an ounce or fraction
regardless OF distance, which is not
disturbed.

attack. The Indians were not to be
allowed a chance to escape.
Since no n who followed Custer
lived to tell what had happened,
and only the mute evidence of
battlefield swarming with flies and
repulsive with the stencil of death
could enable his friends to recon
struct the tragedy, it is better to
follow Reno.
Major Reno is limited to have lost
his nerve when he began to suspect
a larger force against him. He did
not attack, but took cover in a
thicket at the rivers edge before a
single casualty had been inflicted
on him. When a man beside him
was shot, he ordered his men to get
to the bluffs, quickly counter
manded the order, then gave it
again. In the confusion which fol-
lowed, some of his men never knew
they had been ordered to change
position. Later they rejoined the
command, struggling up through
gullies to do so, after the siege was
over
Dreadful Night
The Sioux made ~soirees up the
bluff and were repulsed, but the
nerve wracking expectation of mas
sacre harassed Reno's men through
a dreadful night during which they
imagined they saw columns march
ing, and were alternately cheered by
the thought of rescue and cast down
when they realized no hope was in
sight.
When at last, on Tuesday morn
ing, Terry came to their rescue,
news had already reached the out
side world that Custer was dead.
1t was carried by Crow scouts,
whose story was not at first be-
lieved.
By the time Terry reached Reno
and Benteen, who had joined forces,
1877 bodies had been counted, dot
ting the rough country.
Godfrey vas among those detailed
to bury the dead. AS he and his
companions first sighted the place
of Clusters last stand, Captain Weir
exclaimed: GLOW white they look!"
Most of the dead had been stripped
of their clothing, scalped, and other
wise mutilated. Custer was not
scalped.
