IT'S PRETTY discouraging

IT'S PRETTY discouraging
sometimes.
A tourist will stick his head
in the window and say, DO
you call this a post Officer
It's enough to make a man
lose his religion.
And then, too, I hate to
turn people down. People who
live three-quarters of a mile
away can't understand why
they have to get their mail
from Alexandria - IL miles
away.
Il don't like to tell them I
can't handle their mail. But
I don't have the room. Look
at those pigeon holes. AS many
as a dozen families get stuffed
into one pigeon hole.
There's a new development
going in not far from here.
The builder gets his mail here.
But the people who are NOV
ing in will get their mail from
Alexandria. The people move
in, put numbers on their
houses, and tell their friends
they live in Mount Vernon.
Then when letters come for
them, l have to send the mail
back to Alexandria"
During the busy summer,
with tourists flocking to Mount
Vernon, the tiny post office
handles about $4,000 pieces of
mail a day.
Most of it's those post cards,
too" Mr.. Cunningham said.
The room, about the size of
today's kitchen with yester-
days pantry at the rear, is
the object of a mistaken idea
that plaques the postmaster.
People come up and say
they want to see George
Washington'S post Office" he
said. ITS those guides, l
think, that tell them that.
Then l have to explain that
this building wasn't around in
George Washington's time.
The buildings at the front
here were put up in 1875"

THE POST OFFICE lobby is

THE POST OFFICE lobby is
a sort of diversified door stoop.
You ought to see it with a
dozen people in there trying
to write post cards and buy
stamps" Mr.. Cunningham
said. He shook his head.
Many tourists want to send
post cards to themselves. and
sometimes ask that they be
postmarked with a hand
stamp.
I'VE do it as a courtesy" Mr..
Cunningham said. But If we
had to stamp them all that
way, it would be impossible"
The 11a-cent Mount Vernon
commemorative stamp has
boosted the little gateside post
Offices business. Since it came
out three months ago, is mil
lion of them have been sold
there.
Il hear in roundabout FASH
ion that there are plans for a
fancy new post office for the
Mount Vernon district at Hol-
lin Hail." Mr.. Cunningham
said. IF that were built, this
would be a substation like it
ought to be.
But I've heard things like
that before, and I don't get
my hopes up too high"

The
Rambler
lrute Postmaster
Stamps His Foot
By JACK JONAS

Postmaster Thomas G.. Cum
ningham can't figure any way
to make a first-class post Office
out of 154 square feet.
So he keeps sending mail
addressed to Mount Vernon,
Va, back to Alexandria.
I'VE serve about $50 people
here" he said. "They come in
to pick up their mail. We
ought to be serving 10000 or
more. It's probably a lot more
now. In the last census there
were more than 10000 in the
Mount Vernon post office dis
trict."
AS it is, he does enough
business to hold the rating of
Second-claSs post Office - the
smallest Second-clasS Office in
the Nation. It's just beside
the tourist gate at George
Washington's Potomac estate.
Mr.. Cunningham has been
there as postmaster six years,
and almost from the first has
been Pumping for a bigger
place to do business.
We've been right on the
verge of getting a bigger place
several times" he said, but
something always happens.
II figure we've got about so
square feet of working space,
with the counters and cabinets
and everything in the way.
Sometimes when there are
three of us working in here, we
stumble over one another"

Must Approve Money

DR.. Daniel l.. Seckinger. Dis
trict health director, made the
point that enough money would
have to be appropriated to take
care of the addicts expected to
be controlled through the bill.
Miss Elizabeth A. Smart, di-
rector of legislation. National
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, said that if the addicts
were taken off the street as Wis
ualized in this legislation, nine
tenths Of the District narcotics
problem would be solved.

two groups so different. without
creating intolerable tensions?
Perhaps the best answer to
this objection is to go back into
history and read what was said
about our own ancestors. will
not offend your ears" the arch
bishop continued. "by repeating
the scurrilous remarks that werc
common, not too long ago, about
the Irish, the Italians. the Hun
garians. Polish and many other
peoples represented here.
1--WE were considered by some
to be the dregs of Europe, the
products of Old-World slums. the
unsuccessful type that could not
make a living in our native lands.
We do not hear much about this
today, precisely because this was
q land of opportunity. We had
a chance to advance and as

The Archbishop said he recog-
nizes that the securing of full
justice for our colored brethren
presents problems. not easily
bridged."
THAT there are difficulties, no
sensible person would deny" he
said. But what is our attitude
in the face of these problems?
Are difficulties an excuse for in
action, or, on the contrary; a
challenge to vigorous and INTEL
ligent action?"

struggle If the Communists can
tell the hundreds of millions in
Asia and Africa that they,
rather than Christians, practice
the doctrine that all men are
equal"
The archbishop said the race
question was not as difficult as
lit might appear to some "once
we acknowledge that we are all
children of the same Father"
He offered two broad lines
of approach:
First, each Of us should ask:
In what area, that ! can inf1u-
Ience, are Negroes Disseminated
against merely because of their
race? Do I know of competent
doctors who are not free to
practice their profession in the
same way that a white doctor
Iof equal ability could?
"Are there areas of employ
Iment closed to qualified persons
merely because of their race?
Would we raise a social barrier
against someone whom we would
have welcomed. had not the
mere accident of color inter-
vened?"
The second approach to the
race issue, the archbishop said,
is suggested by an argument
which runs this way: 1T is fool
ish to seek to integrate Negroes
into a white community, because
the cultural and educational
levels of the two groups are too
far apart. How can we minglt

mo person, nation or group OF
nations can consider without
anxiety ard anguish the pros
poets of a world where peace is
based solely on military strength
or on limited political align
ments," he said.
Mr.. Groncni said that despite
patient endeavors. the world is
no more secure than it was one
or two years ago. In fact" he
said, 1--WE are going through a
disquieting phase of confusion
in ideas and political orienta-
tons. and consequently of great

He said the West must recog-
nize that communism, while or
ganically repugnant" to the
Democratic system. has in it
self a great power of expansion"
because 1t appears capable of
improving the lot of the under
privileged.
Mr.. Gronchi voiced the graft

tions of your people when, after
the war, Italy had to rebuild

1T is an historical truth that

the challenge is met. He called
for IAN honest audit" of the race
problem in America.
ITO me-" the Archbishop said.
"the remarkable thing is not
that some members of minority
groups are retarded, but rather
that so many have been able to
advance as far as they have.
This is real problem and
it confronts us in every area Of
our Nation. Difficulties may be
more publicized in some places.

RY THE Assof LATED PRESS

Sen. Estes Kefauver, fighting to regain ground lost in his Florida primary defeat, campaigned at full throttle today in an effort to whip Adlai Stevenson in Califor- nia's climactic Democratic presi- dential primary
 Stevenson obviously was buoyed by his Florida victory over Kefau- ver-narrow as il was-as he, too, pushed drive for votes in the California primary next Tuesday.
 The rival candidates quickly re- sumed their mitigating. Kefauver blamed his Florida defeat on sup port given Stevenson by what he called "Talmadge type" politl- clans. Stevenson retorted that Ke- fauver was a "sore loser" and ac- cused his opponent of mud sling ing"
 The California primary is a winner takeall proposition, with 68 convention votes as the jackpot prize. It also is the last direct Ke- fauver-Stevenscn test before the Democratic Nominating ConVen- tion in August.

 With only 23 of Florida's 1,778 precincts unreported, Stevenson had 221,718 votes to 209,447 for Kefauver-an edge of slightly more than 12,000.
