A FOUR-CENTS STAMP?

The Post Office Department has
asked Congress to increase the
cost of first-class mail from three
to four cents. The idea is to find
a way to collect additional revenue
since the Post Office Department
has been losing money in recent
years.
In fact, losses of the Post Office
Department in the last nine years
totals about four billion dollars.
This makes the taxpayer foot a
bill of 100000, 900 interest on this
debt alone each year.
Since about three-fourth of all
letter mail comes from CONNER
cial firms, an increase will be paid
largely by businesses. It has been
estimated that the average family
would be affected only slightly -
perhaps by about ten cents a
month II by such an increase.
The three-cent rate was estab-
lished in 1882, when the cost of
handling first class mail was 1.89

ALBERT EINSTEIN

The death of Albert Einstein re-
moves one of the worlds great
minds from active participation in
human affairs. Without a doubt,
Einstein will go down in history as
one of the scientific geniuses of
America although he was never
quite understood by most Ameri-
cans.
On some occasions the pictur-
esque scientist delved into fields
in which he was no expert. For
example, he once appealed for the
lives of two convicted spies -
The Rosenbergs.
He was, in this case, entering a
field in which he was not a gen
JUS. But in his own world, that of
science and mathematics, Elm
stein was without a peer.
Once he remarked that he was
not understood in the beginning
and that the people of this coun-
try would not understand him
when his work was through, and
there is some truth in this. His
major discoveries, involving rela-
tivity, were rejected by many sci
entists for more than ten years
after he made his findings known.
Eventually scientific observa-
tons confirmed what he had
worked out in his head - the
theory of relatively. Some of Elm
STEMS equations and mathemati-
cal discoveries concerning matter
helped in the discovery and pro-
duction of atomic energy. Nc
doubt his theories and discoveries
in the field of science will also
prove valuable in future years,
and may even become more valu-
able than presen-day scientists
credit them with being.
If Einstein did nothing more
than prove time is n of the
measurements of matter, he would
have gone down in history as q
great thinker. This, we think, is
the contribution for which he
will be best remembered, although
his achievements were many.

BOOM IN
AUTO SALES

Automobile sales have been
running at such a rapid pace that
experts now predict an annual
production of at least 7,OOO,O 900
cars.
If this becomes an actuality, the
nation will have produced, and
automobile companies will have
sold, more than a million more
new cars this year than in 1854.
The rising sales volume in the
automobile trade is matched by a
continuing boom in the housing
trade, and the two combined have
added a vigor to the economy
which is unmistakable.
The only threat to the current
boom in automobile sales is that of
the strike over the guaranteed an
nual wage. AS of now, there is no
reason for undue pessimism, since
negotiations have just begun and
since contracts have not yet ex-
pired. And, since we do not know
the exact fields of dispute be-
tween labor and management, we
will not comment on actual ne
gotiations at this time.
However, it should be pointed
ont that major strikes in the au-
tomobile industry at this time
should be avoided in the interest
of both labor and management.
The present flush of business
which is filling the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureaus Golfers with more
tax money than had been antici-
pated is increasing profits and is
not causing initiation because of
a surplus in many commodities
and foodstuffs. The consumer is
therefore free to enjoy a relative
ly good consumers atmosphere.
Labor is certain to get a wage
increase and to share in this gen.
eral productivity and prosperity.
A major and prolonged strike over
a guaranteed annual wage at this
time, which the large companies
are not willing to agree to, might
become a blow to this prosperity
cycle.

wilds. An investigation was made
by helicopter.
The helicopter party, headed by
1t. Harold L. Hale of Pueblo, Col
orado, found that the object, first
sighted by Chief Bush Pilot Don
Hulshizer, of Wien Alaska Air
lines, was actually a Japanese
bomb.
The bomb was one the Japanese
had sent into western regions of
the United States during World
War II under balloons. More
over, the bomb, although it had
been in frigid Arctic weather for
ten years, was still intact and
dangerous. 1t was an incendiary
bomb, housed in a metal gondola
below a thirty-two-foot balloon.
We cannot refrain from noting
the striking contrast between
these feeble bombing efforts of
the Japanese, just ten short years
ago, and the bombing threat posed
by today's scientific instruments
of war. Whereas the japanese re-
leased these bombs in an effort
to harass Americans in the final
days of World War II, a potential
enemy today could probably fire
guided missiles, or drop atom
bombs, on the United States in a
matter of hours.
In addition, the guided missiles
and atomic bombs would be fairly
accurately placed on targets,
while the japanese balloon bombs
were highly inaccurate.
