more than 10 years.
John F. Gordon, Cadillac general
manager. said the new engine offers
IS to 20 per cent increase In fuel
economy. Reversing the usual per-
formance, Mr.. Gordon said, the en-
gine yields more saving per gallon
Of fuel at high speed than ut the
lower rates.
The number of miles per gallon
to be expected was not estimated,
but Mr.. Gordon said the economy
to be expected "is equal to SO miles
more per 20 gallon tank at 20 miles
an hour = = and 81 more miles per
tank at 80 miles per hour"

Post Office and Politics
Washington Post)


 The postal service is business-to a much greater degree than any enterprise of the Federal Government. Despite the fact that it is publicly managed and subject at the top to political control the Post Office Department is engaged in business service not different in principle from the telephone and telegraphc companies. Therefore it and its efficiency suffer to the degree that it is politically controlled or manipulated.
 Unfortunately, it has been political custom to regard the Post Office Department as a patronage trough This very much the case in bygone years, although in times there has been rather steady progress away from the idea that jobs in tho department rghtful spells of the political victor Civil service has been the instrument Of most of his progress. But civil service has carried only sr up into the management of the department.
 It is to the credit of President Truman that he made the first move to place the entire Post Office Department a career basis In contrast to the age-old custom of appointing as Postmaster General the top political lieutenant Of the administrator President Truman elevated to the cabinet man of the department-Jesse M Donaldson, who started as letter carrier-when Robert E Hannegan resigned the post months ago. And this evidently was done in good faith because all during the paign Postmaster General Donaldson studiously ab- stained from any political activity. That was cer tanly striking departure from past political history when the Postmaster General was the aison mar with political organizations throughout the country and usually spent most of his time beating the bushes for party votes
 Of course this departure may not be permanent, although it certainly has established praseWorthy precedent In any event, further improvement is desirable and the recommendations just made by the bipartisan Commission On Organization of the Execu- tive Branch--a group headed by former President Herbert Hoover-are eminently sensible. The commits sion proposes quite of business reforms for the department and suggests that only the Post master General be subject to Senate confirmation. This would tend, at one stroke to take all Of the 10000 Posmasterships out of the field of patronage At least it would expose them to much less political liability and would reinforce the hand of the man who heads the department. If the Postmaster ships can be made nonpolitical jobs they should be- there may be difficulty in keeping career men at the head of the department.

ly this piece of information alone swayed the tides of history

 Moscow in l941. caused stalin to

OFT REPEATED CLAIMS

In an editorial about Alaska in the Portland Daily Journal December II, one reads that For one thing Governor Gruening and his supporters hope to get an appropriation of half million dollars for the Alaska Development Board This agency has promoted pulp and paper industry he first mill is now being built) has capitalized Alaskan forests and suc- cessfuy fought off attempts raise already sky-high freight rates to the Territory"
 Maybe we wrong, but The Empire has been of the opinion that B. Frank Heintzleman and the Forest Service had something to do with the estab- nshment of the pulp industry in Alaska.
 That seems to be the opinion of the people in the pulp and paper business, too But maybe they don't get the same publicity handouts from the Develop ment Board that received by the Portland Journal
 About the sale of timber to the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Company the industrys trade magazine PULP AND PAPER says in it's September issue "The sale ends many years of effort by the Forest Service to sell this timber to a pulp industry Frank Heintzeman Alaska Regional Forester, has led these efforts travelling many thousands of miles and inter- viewing many leaders in effort to interest invest ment"
 But then, PULP AND PAPER might be wrong, too

U. $. VICE CONSUL INVOLVED

The story is somewhat similar to that now being unfolded before a New York Grand Jury and the Un-American Activities Committee. Just as the Russians planted key men inside the U. s. Government, so they also began long before the war to plant key spies inside Japan. They began operating about 1884 and continued to 1941-two months before Pearl Harbor.
 Two Germans were involved, two Japs educated in the United States two Americans, and one German British newspaperman. One of the Americans was Agnes Smedley, who lived twenty years in the Orient, has written many books on China, and who is listed in Who's Who as currently living in Saratoga Springs, N. Y, where she has been a teacher at Skidmore College. A telephone call to Saratoga brought the information that she was no longer there.
 The other American was Tycho Lilliestrom, U s. Vice Consul at Harbin, Manchuria. Born in Fin land, Lilliestrom served 2l years in the consular service, and died in l943 It was in his home in liar bin that the Communist spies assembled powerful radio set later smuggled into Japan.

LOS ANGELES LAPS
 INVOLVED

Sorge's co-conspirators were a LOS Angeles Japanese woman nam d Tomo Kitabayani, Japanese artist from the United States nam ed Totika Miyago; German busi- nessman and radio operator named Max Klausen; and most important of all, Eozuni Ozaki, Jap Commun- st who became editor of the Tokyo Asahi, and a close adviser to the Prime Minister of Japan.
 Ozaki had access to some of the highest Japanese Government sec rets, which were transmitted to Moscow via Sorge and Klausen's Shortwave radio.
 Klausen sent his messages by go- ing out in a boat, dressed as fisherman, and operating his radio as far as possible from shore.
