Complaints against Washing
ton mail service at last have
paid off.
Late-evening mailbox collec-
tions and later post office window
service will be restored by the
Washington Post Office Monday
The move reverses part
though not all-of a postal serv-
ice cutback made just three years
ago. It follows thousands OF
complaints from Washington
residentS-along with more thou
sands elsewhere-about delays
and inconvenience.
Deliveries aren't affected. The
present one day delivery
schedule in residential neighhor-
hoods-two in most business
areas-will continue. Postal peo-
pie say the collection cutback
however, caused the most COM
plants.
Pilot Operation.
Postmaster General Summer
field announced the Washington
service improvements yesterday
His announcement called the
move a pilot operation and an
aide said the hope is to take the
same step in other cities later.
Actually the service restora-
tion was started by former Post
master Jesse M. Donaldson q
year ago. Late-evening collec-
tions such as all big cities used
to have were re-established then
in New York City and Mr.. DON
aldson said then that Washing
ton would have high priority for
a similar restoration.
No further move was made un-
der the Truman administration,
however. Now the new Postmas-
ter General has ordered the
Washington changeover in order

to see what effect it has on costs.
The new administration has
also promised a cut in the peren-
NAL postal deficit. But the hope
is the srevice restorations can be
accomplished without defeating
this objective. Working schedules
are being changed instead Of hir-
ing more personnel, officials ex-
planned.
Under the new order, 81
branch postoffices will extend
window service from the present
closing hour, $50 pm. to 6.
Benjamin Franklin Station, at
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. will sell stamps and
operate parcel post and registry
windows until 7 pm, an hour
and-a-half extension.
Benjamin Franklin also will
operate money order, postal saw
ings, bond-registry and c. o. D.
windows until 6. instead Of $50.
Saturday and Sunday window
service at all Offices won't be
affected, however.
Weekday collections will be
made up to about II p m, instead
of the present $50. Now only 10
boxes in the central downtown
area have this late service. The
new service will apply throughout
the Washington Postof11ce terri
tory, which includes some COM
munities in nearby Maryland.
Complained to Star.
Last year, citizens complained
to The Star about letters which
took SO hours to be delivered in
Washington after being mailed
in the District area. Scores
complained of mailing letters
early in the evening and not
having them picked up till the
following noon.

Big Days Are
In Offing For
Jewish Stars
By Bill Wolf
Copyright, 1853, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

THE GREATEST EVENTS are
still ahead for American-Jewish
athletes participating in sports
during 1853.
The basketball season is already
thing of the past, with the court
campaign having been highlighted
by the performance of pros Max
Zaslofsky of the New York Knicks
and Adolph Schayes of Syracuse.
In college ball Jewish stars played
prominent roles on crack teams
throughout the country.
Still ahead is the baseball season,
the exciting Maccabiah games to
take place in Israel next fall, the
football season, and the start of
the 1953-54 basketball campaign.
At the moment the outstanding
baseball figures appear slated to
be predominately the same names
as last season. Sid Gordon should
be back at his post with the Boston
Braves, AL Rosen with the Cleve-
land Indians, Saul Rogovin with
the Chicago White Sox, Joe Gins
berg with Detroit, and Cal Abrams
with Cincinnati. These are the stall
warts who will command the spot
light, barring rapid development
of any rockies.
BUT BASEBALL WILL have to
share some of the limelight with
the development of the U. S. team
that will participate in Israels
Maccabiah games Sept. 20-29. Judg-
ing from plans of the u. S. Com
mittee, which is sponsoring the
American team, the publicity will
be coming fast and furious long
about the end of the summer.

DO YOU JUST BELONG?
By Jay Edison
Director of Activities
Are you an active member, the
kind that would be missed,
Or or you just contented that your
name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings and
mingle with the flock,
Or do you stay at home and criti-
cize and knock?
Do you take an active part and
help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be the kind
that "just belongs?
Do you ever go to visit member
who is sick,
Or leave the work to just a few,
then talk about the clique?
There is quite a program sched-
uled Pm sure you've heard about,
And we'll appreciate it if you'll
help us out,
And come to the Center often and
help with hand and heart.
Don't be just a member, but take
an active part.

Rising NAT0 Power
Averts Soviet Attack
Gruenther Declares

| Gen. Alfred NJ. Gruenther, Su-
preme Commander of Allied
Forces in Europe, said today, he
does not expect a Russian attack
"at any time" if the North At
lantic Treaty Organization coun-
tries continue to build up an
adequate defensive strength.
He warned. however. that if
the Soviet Union should decide
to throw in all its available
forces. it could probably win the
first phase of European war.
In a copyrighted interview in
U. S. News and World Report,
Gen. Gruenther said:
"It is true that the Russians
during the last few years could
have won the first phase of a
war with relative ease. It is
not so simple now. :. We would
not be a pushover for them"
West Has Momentum.
Gen. Gruenther said NATO
has arrived at "a position Of
moderate strength, which is be-
ginning to pay dividends"
1--WE have momentum now" he
said land if we should lose it. it
would be most difficult to re-
cover"
In sizing up the reasons why
Russia has not moved in Europe,
Gen. Gruenther said he saw
three possibilities. They don't
have sufficient industrial poten-
tial to wage a successful war;
they are intimated by "the de-
terrent effect of the atomic
bomb; or they may have de-
cided that they are doing rea-
sonably we'll in the cold war; so
why take a chance on a hot
war?'"
AirfieldS Growing.
Gen. Gruenther said NATO's
airfield program is progressing
"magnificently," with about 1876
fields scheduled to be completed
by early 1854. He also said
NATO troops are being trained in
simulated atomic bomb exercises.
The necessity for German
forces in NATO. the general
said, is ''just as great as ever" !"
He also defended the French
against charges that they are
not good soldiers.
eve are convinced that the
French forces will fight and will
fight CALAMITY" Gen. Gruenther
said.
The Supreme Commander said
he agrees that restrictions on
atomic information given Mar
shall JUN, commander Of NATO
ground forces in Europe, prob
ably handicap him somewhat" !"
He refused to comment on cuts
in the American military budget.
