Hyde Opposes
Economy Plan
OF Post Office
Sees Possible Rise
In Cost by Shifts
Due in Montgomery

Representative Hyde, Republi-
lican, of Maryland, said today
he does not favor the proposed
closing Of three Upper Mont
gomery County post offices and
the reShuff1ing of rural mail
routes in the county
Such changes were proposed
by the Post Office Department
in a move which it said would
save $4,000 annually in Mont
gomery County
Mr.. Hyde. however, says he can
see no economy in the move
and adds that such changes
might even cost more money.
81 am ready and willing to
support the Post Office Depart
ment any time it can show that
change in the nature of the
postal service rendered will re-
suit in just as good or better
service at a saving of the tax
payers money" the legislator
declared. However, in this par
ticular case no such showing has
been made yet"
ClOsingS Sought.
The Post Office Department
has proposed that the post offices
at Spencerville, Brinklow and
Ednor be closed. It also seeks to
change the Sandy Spring Post
Office from independent status
to that of a branch of the Silver
Spring Post Office, and to trans
fer several rural mail routes to
different post offices.
Under the latter proposal, the
Brookeville rural route would go
to the Sandy Spring Post Office,
the DerWood rural route to Rock
vile, and the rural route operat-
ing from the Woodmoor branch
of the Silver Spring Post Office to
Sandy Spring.
Mr.. Hyde said he based his
conclusions on what he heard at
a public meeting September "a
at Sandy Spring. The meeting
was attended by some $50 irate
citizens of the area who pro-
tested the change and said mail
service in the county is fine just
the way it is. Representatives
of the Post Office Department
also were present to explain their
proposals.
AS result of that meeting Mr..
Hyde said he was Obliged to
conclude that the department
simply did not make a case for
economy"
He added: There was no
showing to my satisfaction nor
TO the satisfaction of the people
present that the suggested
changes would result in a saving
of any money. On the con-
trary, it appeared that the
changes might result in more
expense"
Alternate Proposal.
Mr.. Hyde said he had an al
tentative suggestion which he
believes would be beneficial to
residents of communities con-
cerned. 1t involves:
Cd A reduction in the size of
Rockville'S rural route 3 and
transfer of some of this route to
other routes; CD leaving the
Derwood rural route but trans
ferring to the Brookeville rural
route the Smile section running
from Mount Zion to Brooke
vile to Leizers Corner and re-
turn to Mount Zion; and 90
leaving the Brookeville route at
the Brookeville Post Office with
the addition of the above sec
ton.
The Montgomery County Re-
publican also said he would rec
ommend that persons living
along Cedar lane, Batson road,
Brogdan road and Oak Hill road
be supplied with rural mail
service.

well, did you ever hear Of
Hugh Bennett? Sure, you did.
He built the system. Over in
the Department of Agriculture
he had been trying to do some
thing about soil erosion for a
long time and he'd learned a
lot about it. He'd learned it
was a job for soil scientists,
that there was more to it than
contour plowing and terracing,
planting trees and grass and
digging bitches in the right
places. That you needed to
know the right kind of trees
and grass for each place, what
could be used for pasture and
what couldn't and generally
how to treat different kinds Of
land. You even had to study
the local wildlife. Conserving
the soil, of course, was some
thing the farmers had to do
for themselves, but they had
to work together and they
needed expert guidance.

Story Of Shooting Down
Of Plane Withdrawn
BY the Assoeioted Press

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Oct. "a
Jean Khalil Fatal, Sweden S
honorary consul here, Withdrew
today his statement of yesterday
that Israeli fighter planes had
shot down a Swedish passenger
plane in Syria Thursday, killing
35 persons.
Gustaf Weidel, the Swedish
Minister to Egypt, Lebanon and
Syria, told reporters the errone-
Gus story got started when Scan
dinavian Airlines in Damascus
received a telephone call that a
Swedish plane had been seen
crashing in flames near the
Syrian-Israeli border. This was
communicated to Mr.. Fatal, a
Beirut businessman, who got the
idea it was a passenger plane,
Mr.. Weidel continued.
The Minister said Mr.. Fattal's
charge that Israeli fighters had
shot the plane down was mere
speculation. He affirmed that
two Swedish flyers had been
killed in the crash on Mount
Hermon.

When you're talking about

how much the farmer pays for

Milk Price Revised
In Nearby Virginia
Special pispatch TO The siar

RICHMOND. Oct. 24.-The
Virginia MILK Commission
whose orders frequently affect
prices in the District of Colum-
bia-yesterday lowered the price
of me-delivered milk cent a
quart for those taking four or
five quarts day.
The new schedule, effective
November 1, represents a 1a-
cent increase for those who" had
been receiving deliveries of six
or more quarts daily. The order
applied to the Arlington Alex
andria market area.
The new price is 221a cents a
quart for home deliveries of four
or more quarts day.
The old price has been 231a
cents for those taking from four
to six quarts day and % cents
for those taking six or more
quarts daily.
Left unchanged is the price
of 2412 cents per quart for those
having less than four quarts de-
livered daily.
The order brings the quantity
price Con four or more quarts
daily on home-delivered milk
to the same level as milk ,oId
in stores, which is 2212 cents a
quart.
The fact that the price on
quantity orders of six or more
quarts per day had been %
cents was one of the points on
which Safeway Stores had chal-
lenged the commission in a pc
tition filed with the commission
and with the Circuit Court of
the City of Richmond.
The chain grocery firm had
appealed for reconsideration of
an order of last July in which
the company was forced to
raise from % cents to 2212
cents the price on Lucerne milk
sold in Safeway Stores. The
commission did nothing to
change the price of milk in
stores.
The commission also reduced
the wholesale price of butter
milk to stores from II cents to
l612 cents.
