In Army Staying

The United States Court Of
Military Appeals today upheld
the court martial conviction Of
Mrs. Dorothy Kruger Smith,

Commissioners Give
$35,75O Pie Contract
To Crusty Bakery
Controller General Rules
For District Concern
In School Lunch Dispute

A dispute over award of a six
month. $35, ESQ contract for pies
for school lunchrooms was set
tied today by the District Com
missioners in favor of a Wash
ington bakery.
Acting to break a deadlock
caused by identical bids, the
Commissioners awarded the
contract to the Crhsty Pie Co.
of Washington, instead Of to
Mrs. Smiths Colonial Baking
Co. of Pottstown, Pa, and Silver
Spring, Md.
The Smith company, which
lost similar contract last May
because some of its pies were
described as unsatisfactory, had
won a draw for the new contract
resulting from the tie bid.
The Commissioners, who pre-
viously had held ties must be
settled by a drawing, acted un-
der a new ruling from the Con-
troller General that under mu-
nicipal contracts awards may be
made to local concerns in event
of ties.
The issue was forced before
the Commissioners by Harry S.
Wender, attorney for Crusty,
who opposed awarding of the
contract to Smith as result of
the drawing.
The Commissioners, approving
this award, ordered that similar
ties be brought to their atten-
tion before drawings are held.
They also instructed Schuyler
Lowe. director of general ad-
ministration, to seek to obtain
additional bids on future con-
tracts.
The Commissioners also based
their decision on loss of the
earlier contract by Smith, de-
spite assurances from attorney
F. Joseph Donohue and Joseph
A. Kaufman that corrective ac-
ton had been taken to prevent
delivery of unsatisfactory pies.

The Post ONCE Department to-
day announced the discontin-
uance of city and village de-
livery of simplif1ed address, or
Junk" mail, effective March 81.
Simplified address mail. which
has been taxing the letter car
rier and the mailbox since Au-
gust of 1853. gives mailers the
privilege of emitting names and
street address from circulars and
other mail matter and using
only the designations "house-
holder, patron" or "boxholder. /"
The discontinuance order is
sued by Postmaster General
Summerfield, will not apply to
rural routes or to boxholders at
post Offices where no city or viii
lage delivery service is avail
able.
Extension of simplified ad-
dress mail to city and village
delivery was started in an effort
to provide an additional service
to the public and as an effort to
reduce the huge losses incurred
in handling third-class mail.
Results Unpromising.

torily met these objectives and
the only possible solution is in
creased postage rates which will
be sought in the next session of
