, LONDON, May ia Treasury
spokesman said today that Britain
has eased its conditions for join
ing the European payments union.
The new British proposal, pre-
sented to the Marshall Plans Or
ganization for European Economic
Cooperation in Paris yesterday,
provides for Britain's entry into
the union as a full member with
certain allowances" for sterling as

Hoover Report Aide
Asks Support for
Post Office Reform

A plea for support of the Post
Office Department phases Of the
Hoover Commission report and
restoration of twice-daily mail de-
liveries was voiced here yesterday.
The speaker was Langdon P.
Marvin, jr., member Of the Postal
Affairs Task Force of the Citizens
Committee for the Hoover Report.
He spoke at the Washington Ho-
tel before the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers, Postal
Transport Association, Post Office
Mail Handlers and American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees.
Target for Mr.. Marvin'S attack
was reduction of mail service to
one delivery daily, threatened lay
off of postal employees and So
called concealed subsidies" paid
to airlines from Post Office funds
Cut in Service Due Saturday.
Cut in mail service has been
scheduled for Saturday as an
economy move on order of Post
master General Donaldson.
There is no use beating the
Postmaster General" the speaker
declared. HE is a fine man and
very able one with more postal
experience than any one in Wash
ington. His hands are tied by a
huge $500 million-a-year deficit.
IF we citizens who are indig-
nant at having our mail deliveries
cut from twice to once a day
and slowed down by other cur
tailments," he continued, land if
the postal employees who are in
dignant at the proposed layofs
turn our Indignation into
constructive channels, we can re-
duce enormously that postal
deficit and make unnecessary the
cut in mail service"
y 3 Senate Bills Cited.
AS a means to this work in
constructive channels, Mr.. Marvin
pointed to three Senate bills which
would:
/. Create a modern accounting
system in the department.
2. Place the politically ap-
pointed" postmaster under the
merit system.
3. Separate the concealed sub
sides now paid to the airlines out
of the Post Office"
II find nothing in these three
measures nor in the report of the
Hoover Commission which calls
for a curtailment in mail service
to the public" Mr.. Marvin said.
1--WE feel that the threatened
reductions of mail service are the
wrong way to go about it.
I'm putting the bills through
Congress, we will have a willing
helper in Postmaster Genera
Donaldson" the speaker asserted
However, William C. Doherty
president Of the Letter Carriers
Association, was bitter about the
Donaldson order. He said that "a.
far as the national association i.
concerned, after Donaldson they
never want to see another career

studying the complexities Of the
whole problem.
Originally Britain proposed en-
tering the EPU on a special status.
It's contention was that sterling
is quite different from any other
currency In that vast amounts of
it are used internationally be-
tween other countries without the
United Kingdom figuring in the
deals.
Fully so per cent Of world trade
is conducted in sterling, the
Treasury spokesman said. and OBJ
viously not all that Is done by
the United Kingdom.

OEEC's first informal reaction to
the proposal was favorable.
Seeks to Encourage Trade.
The European Payments Union
is a grand design for encourag-
ing freer European trade and lib

Americans and others have ac-
cused Britain in the past of drag

mHE 81st CONGRESS h

THE 81st CONGRESS has passed
1 into the congressional limbo, or
some neither region where all con-
crosses, good or bad, go when they
die. And when the 82nd congress
convenes next January many of
the members of this congress will
be left back in the hustings. Some
already have dropped by the way
side as result of primary action,
but others will go by the boards as
a result of the November elections.
But whatever may be said of the
81st congress, no one can call it a
"rubber-stamp" congress. No one
can call it Fair Deal congress,
for when it staggered to the close of
its regular business any similarity
of its record to the fair deal pro-
gram was only coincidental.
But the closing days brought to
President Truman victory on two
subjects about which he had been
harping practically ever since he
assumed the presidency in 1915.
One was to increase taxes, not de-
crease them, and the other was
standby controls of prices and al
locations of materials. He had aban-
doned hope of ever getting either
until the North Korean Reds struck
across the 38th parallel. Then both
increased taxes and standby con-
trolls authority beyond that ever Civ
en- any other president were prac-
.tically forced upon him.
This congress has attempted, as
other congresses have before it,
to invade all the fields of govern
ment. 1t attempted to nullify deci-
sions of the United States supreme
court in the tideland oil bills and
in the basing point measures. 1t
attempted to set administrative
policies in the executive depart
ment by withholding or adding APP.
preparations; it attempted to in.
wade the field of foreign affairs in
trying to mandate the President to
make 1000, 900 loan to Frances
Fascist Spain.
> While the President was failing to
make much Roadway with the fair
deal program he did stop short two
quarterback sneaks through the
weak side of the line with the pres
idential veto. One was the Kerr
bill which would have added mil
lions to the price of natural gas
and the other was the basing point
bill.

Congress treated the President I'M
generously. 1t gave him, all and
more Of the economic and military
controls he had asked. To apply
and administer them is his respon-
sibility. His friends believed in his
ability to handle the job. His en-
emies, the Republicans and south
ern Democrats hope he fails.

So far, out of more than 500 pub

about one out of five pertain to vet
Grams, their dependents or the Vet
Grams administration. This seq
ment of the nations population now
totals more than 10 million and
these veterans of all wars won
improved programs in housing and
rent control, education and train
ing, compensation for disabled vet
Grams and social security credit for
the time in uniform. The President

houses by overwhelming MAORI

each year of service to postal EN-
ployees who are veterans. 1t would

the President were: increases would
go to persons who were not in
postal service prior to their mill
tary service; would discriminate
against servicemen in other depart
ments; is not veterans bill since
it applied to only 100000 out Of IS

COP will Claim Credit

. One Fair Deal piece 81 legisla-
tion went through sailing. That was
the extension of the social security
program to include about 10000
900 more persons and increasing
the benefits all along the line. The
Republicans, however will claim
that was a bipartisan program
since such legislation was also ad-
,vocated in the COP platform.
| The President also was able to
get 20 out of 81 reorganization plans
through the congress and enacted
into law aimed at streamlining
governmental agencies AID reduc-
ing costs. These too will be con-
sidered bipartisan, since they were
approved and advocated by the
Hoover Commission for Reorgani-
cation Of the government and the
COP will claim equal credit.
Other victories for the President
were acceptance of his Point Four
program, Atlantic pact. military
assistance program, extension of
the Marshall plan. But again the
COP will claim equal credit since
foreign policy is supposed to be a
bipartisan policy. But Guy Cab
,rielson, the COP national chair
man, says our foreign policy is BIZ
partisan only in Europe where it
has worked fairly well. 1t is not
bipartisan in Asia, he says. where
