SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22.-
Postmaster General Jesse H. DON
aldSon says Congress should either
raise postal rates or recognize
publicly that the Post Office De-
partment is to operate as a fixed

"As it is" Mr.. Donaldson told q
press conference here yesterday,
Congress makes the Post Office
the whipping boy for a deficit ii
(the Post Office) is helpless to do
anything about"
Mr.. Donaldson said postal rates
might have been increased this
year, but no Congressman wanted
to vote a boost during an election
year. He said he has recommend
ed that some action be taken next
year.
Congress must decide If the
Post Office is to be a social serv-
ice or big business" he said. IF
it wants the Post Office to be con-
Quoted as a business, it must in
crease postal rates to take care OF
the costs of big business"
IF Congress thinks low postal
rates should be maintained, let it
say so," he declared. "Then let
it earmark the postal subsidies

Imail-and say the Post Office is
going to operate on a definite
deficit"
Mr.. Donaldson, who entered the
department in 1908 as a letter car
rier, is here to attend a two-day

Both Candidates Seen
|ndorsing Present Law
On Price Supports
BY the Associated Press

Farmers may find little differ
ence in the views of the two major
presidential candidates on the
question of price supports for
agricultural commodities.
Statements by Gen. Eisenhower,
the Republican nominee, and Gov.
Stevenson, the Democratic stand
ard bearer. at news conferences
yesterday indicated that their po-
sitions on this issue, when finally
outlined, may be quite similar.
Gen. Eisenhower. at Kansas
City, said in reply to query that
If he were elected there would be
no tampering with the price sup
port law.
Calls Plan Obsolete.
Gov. Stevenson ruled out the
controversial Brannan plan which
Gen. Eisenhower and the G. o. P.
national platform had sought to
tie to the Democrats. The Illinois
Governor at Minocqua, Wis, said
in effect that the Republicans. in
trying to make the Brannan plan
an issue, were barking up the
wrong tree. He said that plan is
obsolete, that it has not been in
dorsed by his party's platform or
recommended by its candidates.
Thus the statement of the rival
candidates were open to the in
depreciation that both indorse the
existing farm price support law.
This law requires that basic
crops-wheat. corn, cotton, tobac-
co, rice and peanuts-be supported
at not less than 80 per cent OF
parity-the level in effect this
year-during the. next two crop
years.
Promises Continuance.
The Democratic platform prom
Uses to continue" the 80 per cent
minimum supports beyond the
two-year period. Gen. Eisenhow-
er's statement that there would
be no reduction in price supports
could be interpreted as meaning
that he too would advocate their
continuance.
Present law also requires that
some other products-such as
dairy products. wool and mohair
be supported at levels ranging
from 60 to 80 per cent of parity.
Supports for other commodities
also are permissible.
If any substantial difference
should show up in the views of
the two candidates on price sup
ports, 1t may be in the field of
perishable commodities.
The Democratic platform-to
which Mr.. Stevenson appeared to
give full Endorsement yesterday
promises to continue to search for
a workable" method of support
ing perishables.
The Republican platform, on
the other hand. would leave the
problem of stabilizing prices of
lperishables largely to local volun-
tary farmer programs.
