Modernizotion Helps
Meanwhile, the department con-
tinues to search for modern meth
DDS of cutting costs and improving
service. Among recent innovations
are simplified Notwithstanding
systems, Junking of the long-ma-
ligned post Office pens in favor of
modern ball-pointS, "cloverleaf"

mail carriers, use of 'caddy carts"

Bureau of Standards is helping de-
velop a mechanical monster which

be in use by 1858.
Striving for improvement on
every front, Mr.. Summerfeld has

Mr.. Summerf1eld has long held

wants his giant operation to pay

essentially a public service and
should be paid for by the general

Diplomats Are Critical of Dulles
For His Attack on NeutroIism

Congress passed q Neutrality Act
which stayed in force until Pearl
Harbor
Perhaps the most recent Ameri-
can endorsement of the principle
of neutrality, 1t is pointed out, was
last years acquiescence in the es-
Enlistment Of a neutral Austria.
Are all these neutralist policies
of the present and recent past now
to be labeled immoral, Mr.. Dulles
critics want to know?
There is no disposition to accuse
the United States of having been
Indifferent to the fate of others.
Diplomats say they understand
that America merely hopes to re-
main friendly with both sides, and
to use it's position to promote I'M
Outstanding between the contend
ing forces. thus avoiding war.
But they have more basic OBJ
lection to his theory. There is no
such thing as morality in inter-
national relations, they say, and
Mr.. Dulles ought to know it.
No nation is altruistic. or guided
by do-goodism, the critics declare.
They prefer Mr.. Eisenhower's re-
MARKS on foreign aid in his most
recent press conference: Other ma
tons know that although we are
helping them, We are doing it IN
the certainty that In so dong we
are also helping ourselves" and:
"Ine reason we help and ASSIST
others is In the belief that this Will
hep us also.'
Neutrals and third-force nations
also object to MI. Dulles high rat
ing for the assistance that some OF
them might render in a military
showdown. 1T is like asking flea
to come to the aid OF an elephant, "
one embassy spokesman commented.
Weak nations can often be of
more use, neutrals believe, in help
ing two contending sides get to-
gether, in arranging prisoner ex-
changes and other mediation chores.
In this sense. they point out, neu-
trality might even shorten conflicts.
Nations look on their neutrality
as matter of self-preservation--
as the best possible policy for
avoiding injury or destruction. Self
preservation can't be immoral, they
contend.

One Of the Nations biggest bust
nesses-a $2.5 billion-a-year giant
lis growing right out of it's
britches. 1t finds it embarrassing.
1t Is the United States Post Office
Department, employer of more than
5000 persons, operator Of colos-
sal network of collecting, transport
ing. selling, renting and banking
activities. 1t is splitting its seams
in a hundred directions.
. In the Union Terminal at Dem
yer. mail clerks have been forced
into the open air by the rising tide
of mail. Facilities inside the build
ing are so swamped. employees must
sort mail outside in all kinds of
weather.
. In Houston, mail is being sorted
in a stuffy. poorly ventilated, half
lit basement.
. When workers at the main Bos-
ton post Office knock of for lunch.
the only place they have to eat is
in the buildings boiler room.
. In the crowded post Office at
nearby Annandale. Va, parcel post
packages have to be handled in an
outdoor parking lot during rush
periods. If it rains, work must stop
while tarpaulins are thrown over
the packages.
Volume Doubles
Mail volume is more than double
what it was before World War II,
while handling facilities have re-
manned about the same. The vol
ume of mail carried annually has
grown from billion pounds and
26 billion pieces in 1888 to IL bill
lion pounds and more than SO bill
lion pieces today The flood is
still rising.
No new post Offices have been
built by the Government since 1888.
The department has some 10000
post offices. OF these $4,000 are
fourth-class stations whose facili-
ties are provided by postmasters.
The remainder are rented, leased
or Government-owned buildings.
Most of them badly need mod
ernizing or enlarging. Many should
be replaced altogether.
In addition, outmoded equipment
cannot keep up with the torrents
of mail. Much work has to be
done in the most expensive way-by
hand.

department has the poorest fiscal

Difficulties Conceded

Diplomats freely admit that the
United States has difficult as
signment as world leader. She
must make room for several con-
fiicting international polit ical
theories, while at the same time
maintaining enough cohesion
among free nations to resist Com
munist piecemeal attack. But for
eign critics say the last fortnight's
public philosophizing would better
have been left unsaid.
They cite and agree with Mr..
Eisenhowers press-conference COM
ment:
There can be a better job done
on the explanation of our peaceful
purposes"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-17

covering rates. but to leave the
actual fixing of rates to an in
dependent commission. The Post
Office would then suggest rate
changes and the proposed COM
mission would make the final de-
termination.
Such an arrangement, the Presi-
dent has said. would help keep
postal charges sufficiently flexible
to reflect changes in costs and the
developing needs of a dynamic
economy"
The opposite position is that as
monopoly affecting the welfare
of every citizen. the Post Office
should be directly responsible to
Congress as the representative of
the American people.
Meanwhile, the Post Office an
nual deficit continues to mount.
The postal establishments of other
countries not only make profits, but
they are said to give better service.
Deliveries in this country hav
been limited to one a day since
1850. Many European cities have
four or five deliveries a day. Brit
ish and French post Offices perform
an even wider variety of services
than does their American counter
part.
High Costs, Low Rates !
The main reasons why the United
States Post Office loses more money
than those abroad are that costs
in the country are higher, distances
are greater and rates are lower.
Postage ON an ordinary letters
cents here's AIT cents in Eng
land, cents in Canada, 8.5 cents
in Sweden and 9.6 cents in Ger
many.
AS result of mounting cost and
tagging rates, the Post Office has
recorded SURPRISES in only Is years
of the present century-none since
1915. Deficits in the 10 ensuing
years add up to almost SIS billion,
more than the combined deficits of
the l56 years preceding 1915.
THE interest alone on this por-
ton of the national debt" Mr..
Summerfield has said. lis now cost
ing American taxpayers more than
500 million year" 1t is estimated
that the postal deficit costs the
head Of an average American family
about So a year. not counting what
he pays for stamps and other postal
services.
This is the background against
which Congress may debate
whether to keep the 3-cent stamp
on letters or raise 1t to cents.

Estes Kefouver

Most observers believe that Sena-
tor Kefauver will need an authentic
miracle to get the nomination now.
The TennesSean was at the peak
of his strength after the March 20
primary in Minnesota. Since that
time, he has been slipping. Never
theless, he will remain a factor to
be considered because of the 173
pledged or favorable votes he will
take to the convention. These votes
represent his maximum strength,
and many of them are pledged to
him only through the first or sec
ond ballot. They could be useful in
purchasing the second place on the
ticket, however.

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles recent attack on the prin-
ciple of neutrality is being criti-
cized as naive by many prominent
representatives of foreign govern
ments stationed here.
While avoiding a public airing Of
these views, the diplomats are say
ing privately that they find Presi-
dent EiSenhowers recent state
ments on the same subject much
more logical. And they reject Mr..
Dulles contention last Tuesday that
there is no difference whatever
between the President and myself
on this subject"
= Mr.. Eisenhower defended the
principle of neutrality. q week ago
last Wednesday at his press con-
ference on these grounds:
/. Nations are not neutral toward
morality "as between right and
wrong or decency and indecency."
They are neutral only with respect
to attachment to military ALI
ances."
2. The United States was neutral
itself in its first 100 years
8. Neutrality has an advantage.
II attacked, a neutral nation is
more likely to get world sympathy
and help than a nation militarily
allied with a great power.
Three days later Mr.. Dulles told
the Iowa State College graduating
class that neutralism is:
. Immoral.
. Shortsighted.
. Becoming increasingly obsolete.

From Cairo he will go to Damascus,
