Court Blocks Move
To Evict Bar Library

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today blocked Attorney
James j. Laughlin's attempt to
force the District Bar Association
library out of the District Court
Building.
The appellate court upheld q
District Court decision dismissing
Mr.. Laughlin's petition to have
the association evicted.
The opinion, written by Judge
Bennett c. Clark, said an attorney
does not have any say over how
the various parts of the court
building are used.
ITO permit such power in the
hands of any chance member OF
the bar who might wish to employ
lit would be to ignore the basic
principles of good management, u
the opinion said.
It added that this would "place
the efficiency and authority of
the court at the mercy of indi-
vidual interest, whim or even
rancor."
The opinion went on to say that
even as an individual taxpayer,
Mr.. Laughlin has no right to chal-
lenge the way in which specific
parts of the court building may be
used.

Postal Officials
Warn Carriers
Against Laxity
Disciplinary Action
Threatened in Wake
Of Many Complaints
By jones 6. Deone

The District Post Office has
cracked down on it's letter car
riers in an effort to halt increas-
ing complaints of mail mis-
handling, it was learned today.
Carriers have been warned Of
disciplinary action in cases Of
negligence.
The warning was distributed
personally to all 1.348 employees Of
the carrier division yesterday. It
cited "a great increase" in COM
plants, and added:
without exception, these ir-
regularities are caused by care
lessnesS on the part of carriers
in the performance of their duties.
/. Continuation of the COM
plants being received cannot be
Icondoned."
The order told supervisors to
take disciplinary action. This can
range from a reprimand to dis
missal.
In addition to issuing the order,
G. w. Harrison, superintendent Of
carriers, said today he and his
chief assistants plan personal in
|Spections of carrier operations
throughout the city.
No specific order has been issued
Ito other postal employees. accord
ing to Frank Sommerkamp, super
intendent of mails. Supervisors
maintain continuing check, how
ever. he said.
The carrier order comes amid
rising public protest over mail
service. Many Washington n-area
citizens have sent complaints of
irregularities to The Star since the
start of series of articles on the
Post Office last week.
The carrier warning cited seven
irregularities which it said caused
almost all complaints. They were:
Misdelivery. misboxing. erroneous
Endorsement, failure to comply
with change of address. mail left
unprotected, failure to leave mo-
tices and failure to attempt per-
sonal delivery.
The notice instructed carriers
to review mail at the point of de-
livery to make certain it is de-
Ilivered as addressed, and to make
certain their Endorsements on un-
delivered mail are correct.
1t also instructed them to de-
liver personally mail too large to
be placed in mail boxes and Of
obvious value.
1T now becomes necessary" the
warning stated, Ito take severe
disciplinary action in those cases
where complaints are the result Of
negligence on the part of car
rierS."
A similar order was issued about
a year ago, Mr.. Harrison said.
Such warnings are necessary Pc
Iriodically, he added, partly because
Of heavy employe turnover.
