Post Office Will Try
Regional Set-Up in
Decentralization Plan
BY Joseph Young

Postmaster General Summer
field has announced a postal de-
Capitalization policy which
eventually will transfer more
than $50 jobs here to other parts
of the country.
Mr.. Summerfield yesterday
disclosed that a pilot" regional
district office will be estab-
lished on November "a in the
tri-State area of Indiana, Ken
lucky and Ohio, with main
headquarters in Cincinnati.
Under the new system, which
will be extended to IA other
regions throughout the country
in due time, the day-to-day
operating problems of the post
al service will be relegated to
the field, rather than Washing
ton. Mr.. Summerfield declared.
This was one of the Hoover
Commission proposals. he noted.

The Postmaster General in
dicated it will be some time be-
fore the other regional offices
are established. He said the De-
partment wanted to make sure
the pilot region is running
smoothly before the other
regions are set up.
The departmental service in
Washington has 1900 employees.
Mr.. Summerfield said that from
80 to 40 will be transferred to
the pilot regional office. Postal
officials SAID, however, the num-
ber of employees for the other
regional office will be much
smaller. 1t was explained that
various test programs will be
conducted at the pilot region.
Mr.. Summerfield said depart
mental employees here will be as
agned tc regional offices on a
volun alv basis, and he indicated
That none will be transferred
against his wish. He said, how

lied their eagerness to transfer
For Efficiency and Economy.
Mr. Summerfield predicted the
decentl alization program will re-
suit in more effective postal Serv-
ice and greater savings. He also
declared it will be better for
postal employees, since such per-
sonnol matters as hiring, promo
tions, training programs and
grievances can be handled on a
local level, rather than through
channels in Washington.
Mr.. Summerfield also said de-
Capitalization will accomplish the
following:
/, Break the Washington bot
tleneck, in which each OF the
Al, 900 postmasters must report
here. Henceforth. poStmaSters

The inspector, appraising the
trouble, radios back to the dis
patcher with a prescription. The
remedy may mean the vehicle
can be patched up Immediately
by a creH of Capital Transit
mechanics, who respond to
emergency calls from six garages
around the city. Sometimes the
vehicle has to be replaced.
Snow Is Worst Problem.
The rush hours-6 to $50 am.
and 3 to 7 p.m.-are the worst
in the 24-hour cycle, says AS
siStant Chief Dispatcher George
E. Warder, a veteran of 35 years
experience with Capital Transit.
Rain is problem. but snow is
calamitouS. he says.
Last month, Mr.. Warder totted
up 225 bus accidents and 172
streetcar trouble calls. His log
showed there were 14,087 radio
messages to and from the dis
patcher'S Office. September
record showed 160 bus and 178
streetcars in various forms of
distress The Tnonth'c total of
radio messages was 1924.
Buses bring more pain to
transit officials than Streetcars,
being more numerous and espe-
cially susceptible to mechanical
difficulties. Streetcars are not
frequently bothered by trans
mission failures as such, but the
so-called "ploW" that contacts
the underground conductor rail
sometimes doesn't.
Most annoying area from the
point of view of trouble calls is
/ the southeast section, Inspector
Terry Cross points out. That
sections many hills impede We

he says.
/ People just don't seem to
/ appreciate what a job we have or
our hands," the inspector told a
reporter last night. If they did
they'd never complain"
