Postmaster General Arthur
Summerfield delivered q letter
personally last week. thereby
making himself the highest
paid mail carrier in the world.
The letter was from the Presi-
dent Of the United States to
his intimate friend George E.
Allen.
When Mr.. Summerfleld was
out in Denver last week for q
visit with the President. Mr..
Eisenhower asked him as he
was leaving II he would drop
q letter to Mr.. Allen in the
mail when he got to Washing
ton.
If there's any fellow in the
country who ought to be able
to dispose Of a letter quickly.
it's the Postmaster General,
but he decided this one merited
his personal surveillance so he
took it to George at his apart
ment in the Sheraton-Park.
P.S. Art Summerfleld also
lives in the Sheraton-Park.
Besides, who knows, when
George opened the letter he
might have revealed some
startling news?
