Postal Rates, Pay and Deficits

The postal rate increase Dill reported 10 Cne
House by the Post Office and Civil Service Com
mittee is an effective instrument for reducing
the Post Office Departments half -billion-dollar
deficit How much the ultimate reduction will
amount to will depend on what Congress does
about raising postal employees salaries. The
committee acted properly in refusing to accept
a pay rider on the rate bill The proposed rider
would have wiped out the entire gain-and then
some Salary legislation has no rightful place
in a adjustment measure. It should be
handled separately as is the tentative plan
under pending pay-raise legislation for all civil
service workers.
The rate bill finally approved by the COM
nittee, after lengthy hearings would increase
mailing costs for most classes OF postal traftic.
A SAT million rise in hrst-class mail receipts
would result from two-cent rate on postcards.
Letter mail and airmail would cost the same
as at present. Second-class-mail costs would
70 up 20 per cent year until a maximum OF
60 per cent is reached. This would cost news
paper and other publishers in the aggregate
about $25 million year additional. Rural news
papers, circulated within the county of publica-
ton, would not be affected. New rates on third
class mail would bring in $35 million additional.
Special delivery, COD. and other services would
produce $29 million added revenue
The bill does not touch parcel post rates
because of the raise in that category recently
granted by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, under special proceedings instituted by
the Post Office Department at the suggestion of
Congress. That increase will net the department
about $1O5 million Thus with the parcel post
and the proposed mail increases combined the
department stands to cut its annual deficit
almost in half.
The big 'if" in this pleasant prospect is
posed by the pay legislation. The pending plan
is for general increase of all salaries of about
88 per cent. This is the proposal of the Senate
Post Office and Civil Service Committee. Ad
ministration officials have indicated desire
to keep such a raise close to per cent. If
applied as planned to the Post Of1ce Depart
ment, the pay bill will end the hope for any
substantial inroads on this years postal deficit.
There is one avenue to economy which Congress
80 far has been reluctant to explore It is the
one pointed out by the Hoover Commission. The
plan to take the department out Of politics and
put It on more efficient basis still languishes
In committee. It will probably stay there as
long as Congress places political patronage above
governmental reform.

Atlantic Poet
A Washingtonian.

According to your latest press reports,
Harry Truman's State Department has
refused Russia's request to discuss the
Atlantic Pact at the next meeting OF
the Big -Four Foreign ministers.
If the administration does not want
to discuss the Atlantic Pact, it must be
ashamed of it, or were the Russians
correct when they charged that this
was the beginning of the Truman plan
to start World War III under the guise
of defense? ! think the President and
his State Department owe the Ameri-
can people an explanation on why they
don't want to discuss the Atlantic Pact.

Postol Pay
American Democrat.

Making the postal pay-raise conting-
ent with the raise in postal rates is
one of the unfairest determinations
ever perpetrated.
AS parallel, would it be right to hold
up the raise for the Federal Housing
Administration pending approval Of a
raise in rent at government housing
projects? Should Congress delay raising
the pay of Interior Department employ
ees until fees for hunting and fishing
licenses are increased?
Regarding the much abused term
postal deficit" who is responsible for
that but the public, who demand-and
receive-3O cents worth of service for
their Scent stamps?

The baptism of the Holy Ghost
with the proof thereof by speak
ing in tongues is a heavenly ex-
.perience.
Jesus told about speaking in
tongues when He said in Mark
1917: "And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In nv
name they shall cast out devils.
they shall speak with new
tongues"
For proof Of the baptism with
the evidence thereof by sneak
ing in tongues, read the first and
second chapters Of Acts, the
tenth chapter Of Acts and the
18th chapter of Acts, also read
the twelfth and fourteenth cham
ters of 1 Corinthians, and ask
the Holy Ghost to explain il to
you. Don't ask someone to ex-
plain these Scriptures who does
mt have the baptism, and has
never spoken in tongues, because
how can they explain properly
something they don't have, can't
do, never did, and are in need Of
themselves?
If you want to know more
about the baptism Of the Holy
Ghost with the evidence and
proof thereof by speaking in
tongues, ask someone who has
it, who can witness to you about
it because they have the glorious
experience personally.
Speaking in tongues is for to-
day because more people speak
in tongues today than at any
other time in the history Of
Christianity.
Salvation is for whosoever sim
her will. The baptism of tho
Holy Ghost, with the proof there
of by speaking Ia tongues, is for
whatsoever Christian win. Peter
said in Acts 2.39 For the
promise is unto you. and to your
children, and to all that are afar
OFF, even as many as the Lord our
God shall call /"
The sinner needs Jesus, the
Christian needs the Holy Ghost.
The sinner needs Jesus, to save
him, the Christian needs Jesus
to baptize him with the g0ly
Ghost
Jesus says: my sheep hear
my voice and another they viii
not follow" BY this he meant
speaking in tongues. Tongues are
often the voice Of Jesus speak
sng in power Of the Holy Ghost
thru the Christian who has the
baptism. This is proven by the
Interpretation Of many of the
messages which are given. So
often when you hear a Christian
speaking in tongues. It IS Jesus
speaking thru chat believer.
Christian, don't make the mis-
take Of thinking the baptism of
