Wrong Addresses
Main Time User

An investigation by a postal
inspector has revealed that the
main cause of use Of excessive
time in handling of mail through
the local post office has been in
correct addresses.
This information was given to
the chamber of commerce recent
ly by postmaster Walter Woehler,
who advised business and pro-
fessional men of the city that he
had been ordered to return all
mail hereafter which does not
have correct addresses.
Woehler said all mail to rural
route addresses will have to have
house numbers to insure delivery.
He urged that all residents and
organizations cooperate towards
establishing correct addresses for
all persons.
"The whole mailing situation
has been in a muddle for some
time" said Woehler.

to rehabilitate Western Europe as
a bulwark against communism
will have been largely to no avail"
The Nevada Senator contended
that the real facts about usable
American military aid to China
since VI Day are altogether con-
.trary to the figures and glib i'm
plications employed so carelessly
in the brusque reply of Secretary
Acheson to my bill for additional
military and economic aid to the
Chinese"
The Senator argued that Mr.
Acheson's reference to more than
two billion dollars of aid already
extended left an implication that
this sum largely represents mill
tary aid" Mr.. McCarran estimated
overall military aid since VI
Day, effective or otherwise" at
$235, ,0o0, 900 and said = a realistic
analysis shows the effective
military. aid to have been $ll0.-
900, 900.
He said a check Of Chinese mill
tary inventories shows the aid in
cluded 100000 gas masks at So
each. He expressed the opinion
these were obviously OF no value
in fighting the Communists"
The Senator also said the De-
partment lists post vi Day
tanks and vehicles" given China
under lend-lease as totalling $685.
986, 900. Actually. the Senator
stated, China received 160 light
tanks, roughly about $5,000.OOo
worth.
Senator McCarran said that
$337.737 900 of the lend-lease
funds to China since the war was
for reoccupation and Japanese
repatriation.
In his letter to the Senate Com
mittee, Secretary Acheson con-
tended that to furnish the mill
tary means to reverse the military
picture would require large COM
bat force of American troops. He
said the department might have
recommendations II the situation
clarifies ITSELF" The McCarran
bill is still awaiting committee ac-
ton.
