Robinson Plans ParIey
On Parking Problem

Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said yesterday he will
arrange a meeting with members
Of the Commissioners special
committee studying the District
parking problem in an effort to
unsnag the committees report.
The committee has raised a
number Of legal questions in its
work toward a recommended So
luton. and they have not been
answered.
Gen. Robinson suggested that
Ian informal session with Charles
M. Upham. chairman of the COM
mittee; Corporation Counsel Ver-
non E. West and other officials
concerned might speed a general
recommendation, leaving the
heavy legal work to be done later
One question raised by the COM
mittee was whether the District
could condemn land for parking
operations that would include
such sidelines as bowling alleys,
stores or other activities which
might be carried on in the park
ing building.
In many cases. it was pointed
out, the operator of a parking
building would want to devote
some space to enterprises which
would produce additional income
Mr.. West said the general rule
was against condemnation except
for public purposes, but that the
question of whether some other
project could be operated at the
same time had not been ruled on

Two Mail Deliveries
Every Day 10 Homes
Sought in Senate
BY the Associated Press

Agitation for restoration of two
mail deliveries a day in residential
areas promised today to delay Sen
ate action on a bill to boost postal
rates nearly $40O million.
Among other changes, the bill
would increase the cost of letters
from three to four cents and of
postcards from one to two cents
Postmaster General Donaldson
ordered residential deliveries cut
to one a day in April, 1850, as
part of a retrenchment program
for his department. which has
been running into the red over
$500 million year.
The Senate Post Office Commit
tee, in drafting it's rate increase
bill, tucked in provision direct
ing Mr.. Donaldson to maintain
the services that existed prior to
his order.
LANCER Assails Donaldson.
The Senate yesterday gave voice
vote approval to an amendment of
Senator Russell. Democrat. of
Georgia, striking out this part Of
the measure. thus letting the cur
ltailment stand. But Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota, later served notice he
would ask for reconsideration.
Senator RusSells amendment
won backing from Majority Lead
er Mcfarland and a number of
other Senators, but Senator
LANCER shouted that Mr.. Donald
son was generally conceded to be
"the worst postmaster general in
the Nations history.
He argued that Mr.. Donaldson
could have obtained the necessary
funds to prevent the curtailed
service if only he had taken the
matter up with the proper Senate
committees.
! Senator Russell noted that Mr..
Donaldson had estimated it would
cost between $125 million and $3.50
million to restore the previous
mail delivery system.
johnson Loses Fight.
Senator Edwin c. Johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado, lost. 40 to
18. in an effort to erase higher
air mail rates from the bill, which
would increase postage for air
mail letters from six to eight cents
and for air mail post cards from
four to five cents.
Senator johnson maintained
that the higher rates would de
stroy the airlineS."
The committee said airmail
now is being carried at loss of
$35 million a year and the pro-
posed boost in rates woild about

bit of strategy designed to force
House action on the measure.
Provoked Murray.
The situation stems from. the
refusal of Chairman Murray of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee to go to conference on the
Senate's previously approved
measure. Mr.. Murray was angered
by the Senate's action in bypass
ing his committee on the legisla-
tion. What the Senate did pre-
viously was to adopt the graduated
leave provision as an amendment
to a relatively minor House-ap-
proved bill, thereby throwing the
legislation into conference. But
Mr.. Murray has refused to go to
conference.
Therefore, the Senate last night
approved the same graduated
leave plan as part of the postal
rate increase bill. Senate Spon-
sors feel that since Mr.. Murray
so strongly favors postal rate in
crease measure, he will be obliged
to take up the graduated leave
provision in conference if he hopes
to get postal rate boost through
Congress this year.
The graduated leave plan pro-
vides for 13 days annual leave for
employees with less than two years
service, 20 days for those with
q to Is years and 2 days for
those with more than Is years.
Military service would be counted
as part of Federal service.
Cuts Annual Sick Leave.
Also, the present Is days sick
leave benefits would be reduced
Ito 13 days, although Federal work.
ers would be allowed to accumu-
late all the sick leave they are
entitled to. They are presently
limited to 80 days accumulation
And the present requirement
that Federal employees must use
| all of their annual leave during
the calendar year would be
abolished.
Postal workers, who now only
receive Is days annual and II
days sick leave. would receive tht
same benefits as classified EN-.
ployes under the graduated leave
plan.
The Civil Service Commission
issued regulations today in con-
nection with the new leave system
Under the new system employe:
will earn six hours of annual leave
during each two-week pay perioc
as compared with the full day
earned under the 26-day leave
system. In order to avoid frac.
tional hours of credit during eact
Ipay period, an additional foul
hours will normally be given dur
ing the final pay period of the
calendar year to bring the tota
leave earned to 20 days.

50 Pct. Of Workers
In Copper Industry
Expected Back Today
BY the Associated Press

DENVER, Sept. 7.-At least half
the workers in the copper. zinc
and lead industries were expected
back at work today because of a
Federal court order halting a
strike.
The court order was issued at
Denver Wednesday. But the re-
turn to jobs was slow yesterday,
with the largest number, 10000,
going back at Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. properties in Montana.
Union officials were busy at
tempting to reach members and
holding meetings, some of them
last night, to discuss the court
order and pass on orders from
the Executive Committee of the
Independent International Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers.
The prospect was that a num-
Der Of workers would not be back
at work until tomorrow. Com
pany officials estimated that it
would take at least three DAYS for
production to reach pre-strike
levels.
The union members walked out
August 27 to implement demands
for wage increases ranging from
.9 to q cents an hour and pen
sion benefits.
The injunction granted here
Yesterday under provisions of the
Taft Hartley Act. restrained the
union and operators in the nom
ferrous metal industry from inter-
Ifering with the production of cop
per, lead, zinc, manganese, moly-
bedenum and tungsten.
When the strike began. about
$4,000 members of the mine-mill
union anG $4,000 members of
other unions who refused to cross
picket lines were made idle. The
number was reduced by 9,400 last
week end by a Government-Spon-
sored agreement for the Utah
properties of the Kennicott Cop
