By Horny Macarthur

TeleviSion, like Sammy Baugh
in his latter days with the Red
skins, can't make move without
setting new record.
1t is cerain to set another on
Inauguration day. 1t is a safe
forecast that more people will see
Dwight D. Eisenhower sworn in
as President Of the United States
than voted for all candidates in
the November election. That
never happend before.
The 47th Inauguration will. in
fact. be seen by more persons
than have seen the 46 previous
inaugurals. This same thing was
said. truly, of President Truman's
inauguration four years ago. ~~
But that audience was only a
fair-sized one by today's stand
ards. Approximately 10 million
persons saw Mr.. Truman take the
oath of Office. via television.
Some IS million are expected
to be in the television audience
when President-elect Eisenhower
takes over.
Will Be Seen Coast to Coast.
The first ilistory-making inaug-
ural telecast in 1949 went to II
cities in the East and eastern
Middle West. The 1853 inaugural
will be telecast over approximately
120 stations from coast to coast.
More than 100 million residents Of
the United States will be in range
of television on January 20.
Unlike that 1949 telecast, this
years T'V report on Inauguration
day in Washington will not be a
pool" affair-except for the
inaugural ball. Each Of the three
major networks-ABC, CHS and
NBC-is arranging it's own cover
age this time. Things are not
definite yet at Du Mont, but it may
join one of the other networks as
it did during the conventions. when
it carried what CHS televised.
The inaugural telecasts will be
sponsored this year, by an auto

will be the actual swearing in cere-
monies. These. the networks have
announced solemnly. will be tele-
vised as a public service with nc
taint Of sponsorship. There also
will be no sponsors for the pooled
inaugural ball telecast.
In at least two cases the sponsors
will be getting the product into the
act on Inauguration day. One NBC
crew will be touring the parade
route in a specially-built seven
passenger Cadillac, redesigned to
carry five persons and a half-ton
of equipment.
Cameraman and camera will
travel in a rotating current. One o1
the new electronic marvels in this
special mobile unit win be a hand
camera smaller than the "creepie-
people, used at the conventions
1t will be used. NBC says, "for in
innate close-ups" of the presiden-
tial motorcade and the crowds
along the parade route.
The ABC sponsor, Willys-Over-
land. is providing specially
equipped station wagon to pro
vide electronic TV sight and sound
coverage from mobile vantage
points" This will have it's owr
microwave relay transmitter to
send the television signal to a
pickup point atop the Capitol
dome.
Each of the three networks
plans to use Is cameras strategi-
cally located at the Capitol and
along the parade route. More thar
500 commentators, announcers
and technicians will be busy tele-
vising the inaugural festivities
Miles of special communication
facilities are being installed and
each network will have "tons" oil
equipment in use.
Ball to Be Telecast.
Televising of the Inauguration
and parade will start at 1880 am
on January 20 and continue to
about 4:30 pm.
One network, NBC, has become
so enthused at the prospect that
it has given this five-hour tele-
cast name. "The program" says
a press release, will be called
Inauguration Day."
The citizens committee in
charge announced last night that
arrangements had been made with
all four networks to pool theil
facilities for the ball, on a public
service basis.
Chairman Joseph c. McGar-
raghy said the decision was
reached yesterday during a con-
ference he held with Robert H
Hinckley, vice president of ABc
Earl Gammons, vice president oi
CHS; Frank M. Russell, vict
president of NBC, and Walter
Compton of DuMont.
Several weeks ago, the commit
tee made it clear it would moi
permit the Inaugural Ball to be
|televised on a commercially-spon-
Sored basis.

Reports from Australia's Northern
Territory tonight indicated mon
soon rains in the past few days
have broken the two-year drought

Cattlemen, however. said more
rain will be needed to insure the

Post Office Deficits

IF Postmaster General Arthur +. Summer
field has his way about it postal rates
will be increased effective next fall. in an
effort to reduce the annual deficit Of the
postal department. FIRST class postage will
be increased by one cent for the first ounce
on non local letter mail, making letter cost
-four cents. 1t is expected that this will pro-
duce $50 600 900 additional annually.
Second class postage, which has already
been increased ten percent will get another
- percent boost on October l. 1858 and an
additional II percent on July |. 1854. Civ
ing an addition of 81 100000 in the first
step and about So. 1000 in the second step
Third class mail will be increased 50 as
to produce an additional S52 900. The
total increases are expected to add S245-
$4,000 to the postal receipts to offset Il
deficit Of 1927 900 900.
If Mr. lMmertieId is looking for other
ways to offset the deficit he probably could
find it by charging parcel post rates on
government printed envelopes which are
now being transported from the central
plant in Ohio to the consumer at the far
interest away I1bStOlfltt WItHOul ClldiS t llf
could also make a reasonable charge for
printing the envelopes and further reduce
the deficit.
A plain envelope bought at the station
cry stores cost 10 cents for 4 package Of Is
or , 3 cents each. Add a ; cent stamp and
the envelope costs 3 : 3 cents. a patron can
buy stamped plain government envelopes at
the post office on. for i cents or two for
cents. making the cost 81 cents each. But
if a user orders thousand or more printed
with his return address on them, the cost is
1896 cents each. Thus the PoStoftlce De-
partment is selling printed envelopes
slightly less than the price charged the pub
lie in small quantities. In addition to doing
the printing for nothing (the fact that this
is in direct competition with private enter
prise not to be EN- phasized). these envelopes
are transported dead head, without
charge and delivered TO the address of the
addressee. When private business wishes to
send a thousand envelopes from FarmVllle
to Rice. or Prospect the parcel post is 81

cents.
When we went into the printing business
in 1921, the National Editorial Association
was Squalling to high heaven to call atten-
ton to government competition with bust
ness. American business men failed to recog
nize it. some of them even accused the print
ers Of selfishness In the intervening years,
government has entered many fields in
competition with private business, but none
of them more flagrantly than the Postoffice
Department invasion of the printing field
with its government printed envelopes.
Another practice which has continued
over a long period of time, should be dis
continued also. That is delivery Of weekly
without charge The idea is archaic. and
every service rendered by the postoftce
should have reasonable charge regardless
of what it is.
general overhauing of the Post Office
Department is long overdue. Its accounting
system is badly in need Of undermining and
its distribution system needs close study to
eliminate wastes that even a layman can see
Politicians have used it for generations as
rich plumbs, and if Mr.. Summerfcd is ser-
Gus in making the Postoffice Department
pay its own way, he should first put it on a
buSinesSike basis
After all the PoStoffice Department is a
service to the people. 1t was first organized
as a means of communication. and played q
large part through the years in the educa-
ton and cultural development Of the people
We doubt that many of the Parkway places
where mail is delivered can be Justified ON
a purely dollars and cent basis, but it has
always been the pride of the postal service
that every person in the United States would
be served efficiently. Mr. Summertield
should not overlook this concept when he
sets policies for his department.
We believe the postal service should be
operated to perform the most efficient Serv-
Use at reasonable rates based upon good cost
accounting A reasonable deficit legitimate
ly can be paid from general public funds.
We look upon the POstoffice Department as
a public service first and a Self-suStaining
governmental function secondly.

In the Woods

like to walk the cool green woods
And hear the voice of Natures things:
To seek out paths and hidden ways,
And for the sounds of unseen wings.
The sweet low notes of woodland birds.
The soothing hum of honey bees
The magic songs the StreametS sing
Soft winds that whisper through the trees.
To find out what the FREELY seeks
With his tiny Pickering light,
TO learn the words the bull frogs croak,
And why the bats fly round at night
To list to what the river tells
About our world when first began:
To learn why doves in sorrow mourn.
Why swallows haunt the homes of man.
Far from the noise Of this worlds strife
In quietude to muse apart
And in the Swallowed woods to feel
The rhythmic beat Of Natures heart

Red Cross
Fund Drive
Lags

East Cleveland's 1858 Red Cross
Fund drive is far behind schedule.
Drive leaders today announce that
with only five more days to go,
the drive has only hit the half
way mark.
Failure may be staring the 600
hardworking volunteers in the
face, because this coming Monday,
March 10th, writes "finis" to this
years effort to raise $13,948.oQ
locally.
At press time contributions as
listed by all but so workers show
ed a total of only $6,967.38.
Today's report means that be-
tween now and next Monday, the
10Th, East Clevelanders will have
to dig down into their wallets and
produce another $1,000 if the city
is to rank among the other over
.he-top suburbs.
At the same period in last years
drive, the campaign has almost
reached the $4,000 mark - and
only had 81, 400 to go.
A joint appeal to the civic pride
of their neighbors in this vital but
tagging campaign was issued today
by the Red Cross Fund co-chair-
men, Mr.. Philip Schloss and Mrs.
William Harrison Fleming.
Explaining that the current flu
epidemic had, to some extent,
curtailed the efforts of the door
to-door canvass, they urge that
anyone not yet solicited and wish
ing to contribute, may do so by
phoning Red Cross Fund head
quarters PO. 1-8055, or FA. 1-9300.
A worker will be dispatched i'm
mediately to the donors homo.
Gifts will also be welcomed any
week day between now and the
drives end at Fund Headquarters
in East Cleveland City Hall, 14340
Euclid. In case a donor arrives at
headquarters after closing time,
the contribution may be left at
the police department.
The county residential report is
46@o of its goal.
