Dear Neighbor:

Dear Neighbor::
Much concern has been express
ed over the Postmaster Generals
recent announcement which indi-
Gates that polictical award rather
than merit is to be the criterion for
the appointment of postmasters.
Our President, in a prediction
speech, stated: "The single choice,
the single standard (for Federal
jobs) shall be merit and not poll
tical award" With that statement
heartily concur. But the Post
master Generals first major act
registers for 1700 postmaster posi-
tions and calling for new examina-
tions, plus his subsequent notifica-
ton of Republican state advisors
that even acting postmasters' can
be replaced, is entirely contrary
to prediction pledges and could
well lead to a breakdown of our
Civil Service system.
Upon learning of the Postmaster
action, your Congressman launch
ed an immediate investigation and
was shocked at the findings. It
was learned that Of the 17O0 ex-
aminations to be discarded, 1866
examinations had been completed.
Of this number, 2O5 are registers
containing less than three eligi-
bles.
The Civil Service Commission
had already spent $265, TIT in COM
pleting the 1,461 examinations
which the Postmaster General has
now requested be cancelled. In
addition, it is estimated that it will
cost $3.50, 900 more to conduct these
examinations over again. Based on

Radiation From Blasts Gives
Uranium P!rospectors Trouble
BY JULIUS GOLDEN

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Up -
Prospectors saw Western New
Mexico is being bcmbarded with
so much radiation from atomic
tests that at times it's impossible
to test for uranium ore.
Fruit growers in Northwestern
New Mexico are blaming frosts on
atomic tests in Nevada.
Residents in one area think a
wave of lightheadedness and nau-
sea may have Deen caused by Ta-
dioactivity.
Atomic Energy Commission Of
ficials discount all the complaints.
Prospectors in the Gallup, NM,
area, where uranium hunting has
reached the proportions of an in
dustry, have been unable to hunt
the precious ore at times following
tests.
The radioactivity count jumped
so high that prospector's Geiger
counters couldn't distinguish radio
activity in the air from radioac-
tivity in uranium ore, the prospec-
tors say.
A spokesman for fruit growers
in San Juan County in Northwest
ern New Mexico made up a list
for newsmen showing that three
atomic tests were made between
48 and so hours before heavy frost
damaged fruit.
The first explosion listed, April
8, occurred two days before temp
eratures fell to "a degrees and
ruined apricots and peaches. After
an explosion May 1, half the apple
crop in the area was frozen. The
rest of the peach crop went two
days after the May s explosion.
u. S. Weather Bureau officials
in albuquerque, queried on the
fruit growers theory, said:

this important position. Naturally,
the Civil Service Commission re-
commended the one man who
passed the examination and my
appointment was awarded him
without regard to his political af-
filiations.
1t seems rather obvious to me
that the only reason for throwing
out current Civil Service registers
is to sabotage the merit system
and resort to the spoils system
rather than follow President Eisen-
hower's mandate that the only
standard for such positions be
merit, rather than political award.

Experiments
May Lead To
Safer Flying
BY RENNlE TAYLOR
AP Science REPORTER

LOS ANGELES IA daring ex-
pertinent on the hearts of five
young Air Force doctors has
opened the way for development
of a new, more comfortable kind
Of gravity suit to prevent pilot
pilot blackouts.
The tests, conducted by Capt.
Owen L. Slaughter, now of Evans
vile, Ind, were reported to the
closing meeting Of the Aero Medi-
cal Association here.
Two long, flexible tubes called
catheters were inserted through
blood vessels in the neck and into
the heart OF each physician under
test. This was done to measure
the exact blood pressure in the
heart while the lower halves of
their bodies were being com.
pressed as in a gravity or black
out suit.
i Catheters are used frequently on
one side or the other of the heart
but never before have they been
used simultaneously on both sides,
DR.. Slaughter said. The one.sided
operation is only slightly danger
ous but the hazard is increased
many fold when both sides are
catheterized. However, no bad ef-
fects appeared. DR.. Slaughter re-
ported.
Flight surgeons long had be-
lived that tight-squeezing gravity
suits worked by preventing the
blood from crowding into the lower
part of the body during high-speed
dives or turns, leaving little or
none in the head and causing
momentary Inconsistencies.
The tests showed, DR.. Slaughter
said, that the gravity suit does
not work that way. Instead It
causes the arteries in the legs and
lower abdomen to increase their
resistance to blood flow. This
causes increased b.ood pressure in
the upper part Of the body and
makes il easier for the heart 70
pump blood to the brain. he re.
ported.
As q result, DR.. Slaughter said
he would suggest that gravity suits
be redesigned specifically with the
idea Of COMPRISING arteries in the
lower part Of the body, as first
| aid worker might do In holding
| the pressure poinls" to stop hem.
orrhage.
II should not be necessary to
make suits that win compress the
flesh, be said.
DR.. Slaughter recently complet-
ed his tour Of Air Fcrce duty and
returned 70 private practice.
