Postmaster said, ga blanket pay
increase is not the solution to our
problem. A program is needed to
provide postal workers here and
elsewhere with opportunities for
advancement and increased pay
and the pride and satisfaction of
winning recognition for extra skill"
In their statement, the Postmas-
ter noted, the postmasters reveal
ed the average wage for ali post
masters now is $3,143 a year, and
the average for first, second and
third class offices, not including
fourth class, is $433O. This is less by
$50 than the average of the Is
year service letter carrier and
clerk who earns $4,370 a year.
:. Revealing he has received infor-
nation indicating postal employee
letters to the Postmaster General
show employees ''have received an
extraordinary amount of mislead-
ing and confusing inform atom a.
bout the Rees Plan, the Postmas-
ters said the statement refuted all
of these.
A typical Misrepresentation com.
pletely refuted was the misstate-
ment that some employees would
take pay cuts, where none would,
since 100000 out of 100000 postal
employees would get pay hikes.
| Acting Postmaster Stickney said,
stSince the issues involved are of
such. vital Importance to all Am
orleans, suggest writing to our
Congressman, the Hon. William C..
Lantaff, House Office Building,
Washington, D. c., letting him
know your views.

TAXED WHILE IN RED PRISON

Homer H. Cox, former Army private, recently
ceved almost $4,000 in back pay from the United States
Government The pay covered time he spent confined in
Russian prisons
Cox was military policeman who was taken prison
er by the Russians in 1919 He released in March of
this year and therefore spent almost five in various
Communist prisons The former CT says the Russians kid
mapped him and sentenced him to twenty-five years in
prison on false charges.
While he glad to receive the $5,972 back pay
asked to pay as income tax to he spent in
Soviet prison.
The Internal Revenue Bureaus position is that Cox
earned the money as an Army private and that he is
therefore, obligated to pay income taxes it. Cox says
he doesn't feel like he should pay on the income he
earned in foreign prison. While technically, the Internal
Revenue Bureau may be correct suggest Congress pass
simple bill exemptng Cox from payment.
Obviously, any American who has spent almost five
years in Russian prisons should be entitled to
sderaon and Coxs resentment the tax levy is
dersandabe Congress might we'll give the former pr
vate break and all those unfortunate enough to be i'm
prsoned by the Russians while serving their country in
military uniform should be treated likewise.
The cost would be negligible and the exemption
would be display of proper spirit of appreciation to
those citizens who called upon to their country
and experience the ill luck of Imprisonment by Communist
barbarians.
Charity is of greater value to the gver than to the
receiver
Those who seek to improve their minds will be the
leaders of tomorrow
When the great of this earth are revealed in the
happy hereafter, there will be many surprises.
Contrary to of friends opinions the weight
Of the world is not balanced on their shoulders

are my contributions. When
rotissering a roast, I place
small. medium-sized (since I
never do a roast more than

the roast is done and the skins
are more tender than when

Iplace sliced. peeled potatoes
under the roast and then I'm

making a two-pound meat loaf,
make it into two twin loves and
place them on the bottom Of
the broiler. Bake for " hour
on "low," then, turn with a
spatula for about is minutes.
Timing, of course. needs to be

the differences in size and
makes of broilers. Also, I have

ELongfeHow Stock
Virtually Worthless,
Witness Testifies

Robert T. Highfield. an officer
of the Mt. Vernon Mortgage
Corp, and a former trustee Of
the National Home Library
Foundation. yesterday testified
he had estimated virtually as
worthless" some 1900 shares of
stock transferred from the foun-
dation to the mortgage corpora
tion.
The Federal Government is
suing to recover about 81 million
in assets which it contends
rightfully belong to beneficiaries
of the library foundation. The
latter organization, now dor
mant. was charitable setup and
as such owed to the public pru-
dent management of it's affairs,
the Government contends.
Paid S32,9O5.
The mortgage corporation re-
ceived the 1,500 shares for $32,-
905. The Government asserts the
stock. which was in the Long
fellow Building Corp. was worth
81 900 a share in 1943.
On the witness stand yester-
day in the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia, Mr..
Highfield testified there were
"other considerations" involved
in the stock sale. Among these,
he said was the posting of $780,
600 in collateral by the mort
gage company to assure a SIS
million Reconstruction Finance
Corp. loan for erection of the
Longfellow building.
He testified the library foun-
dation had bought 600 shares
for $4,000 from one of the oyigi-
nal investors in the building cor
poration.
Dividends Frozen.
He said that, under the terms
of the RFC loan, no dividends
could be paid on Longfellow
stock for 1872 years, dating from
1943.
