United States Senator ]. Allen

he intended to continue his efforts
toward reorganization of the Post
Office Department and the Civil
Service Commission which were
undertaken last year. Senator
Frear, who is chairman of the Sub
committee on Government Reor-
ganization, called attention to the
interest of President Truman, ex-
president Herbert Hoover, and
many other distinguished Ameri-
cans in having these recommenda-
tions carried out as fully as possi-
bile. The Senator's remarks were
contained in his weekly report on
congressional activities broadcast
over WDEL. Mr.. Frear also
praised the action of the Senate in
repeating the federal taxes on ole
omargarine. On matters of partic-
ular interest to the State, The Sen
ator expressed the hope that Con-
gress would approve his bill auth
orizing the issuance of a commem-
orative coin for the New Castle
'Tercentenary which, he said, is an
event that should be noted with
great interest by the people of Del
aware and of many other states as
well. In his remarks Senator
Frear also paid tribute to the
memory of General Hap" Arnold
for his great efforts in developing
the United States Air Force dur
ing the recent war.
