Agency Use Of Free Mail
Drops, Post Office Says

Congress and the Federal bu-
reaus are mailing fewer letters,
not more. as many people believe.
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield made this known
today in answer to many citizens
who have been writing him. They
say the way to wipe out the
postal deficit is to cut down on
the free mail" of Congress and
Federal agencies.
As a matter of fact. there is
no free mail" as far as the
Post Office Department is con-
cerned. A 1858 law provides that
Capitol Hill and the Federal
agencies must pay for their
franked and penalty mail.
In the last fiscal year the Post
Office Department received S34.5
million in such payments. That
amount covered the mailing OF
LAT billion pieces. the second
lowest in the past decade. In
1948 there were las billion pieces
mailed by Congress and the Fed
eral agencies.

CHICAGO, Mar. Z up. - A
young member of the Loyola
University staff, who police said
was to be questioned for
allegedly taking lewd pictures of
"a youth and in connection with
the recent multiple murders of
children. fatally shot himself
last night.
David Burch, 25, assistant to
the dean of admissions at 10y
ola. shot himself with a rs cali
Der automatic pistol, police said,
as his mother was talking to q
detective in another room.
The detective, James Fitzger-
aid, said Mr.. Burch's mother,
Mrs. J. Norval Burch, did not
know he was a police officer and
had believed her son had gone
upstairs to pack clothes for a
brief trip out of town.
However. the detective said,
he had gone with Mr.. Burch to
the latter's home to get photo
graphs he had admitted taking
of a 16-year-old boy. The de-
tective said he agreed with Mr..
Burch's request not to identify
himself as policeman SO as
not to excite his parents.
Detective Fitzgerald said Mr..
Burch had surrendered volun-
tarily for questioning after the
boy, who was not identified, had
pointed him out as the man
who had taken pictures of him
in the nude. The detective said
Mr.. Burch admitted he took the
pictures but denied they we're
lewd.
Mr.. Burch had been upstairs
only few minutes when Detec-
tive Fitzgerald said he heard a
shot. Burch was dead on ar
rival at a hospital. Police said
that in Mr.. Burch's room they
found a packet of IL nude
pictures of the boy who had
pointed out Mr.. Burch to them.

Pennsylvania avenue site would
be made to the full planning
commission at its meeting today.
He said the report represents
the findings of an inter-agency
committee study by representa-
tives of Battle Monuments, Fine
Arts and National Capital Plan
ming Commissions.
First Plan Not Approved
In testimony to the House APP
preparations subcommittee, Gen.
North said that prior to the end
of the last fiscal year the Con-
gress authorized the Battle Mon
uments Commission to prepare
plans and estimates for a me-
mortal to Gen. John j. Pershing,
which plans and estimates must
be approved by the Commission
of Fine Arts and then submitted
to the Congress;
Hoping to get action before
the end of the last fiscal year,
we asked our own consulting
architect to make plans and sub
NIT them to the Fine Arts Com
mission. which, however. did not
approve them. During the cur
rent fiscal year. therefore. we
have done two things.
I'VE have urged the alloca-
ton Of a specific site, because
before having the site you cannot
ask an architect to design some
thing for you. And, as I said
earlier. we have been assured
orally that the triangle in front
of the Willard Hotel will be made
available for the purpose.
Secondly. about the archi-
tect: Within the next 10 days
the commission proposes to con-
slider the appointment of an
architect to make plans and esti-
mates, but not to build. Gen.
North testified on February 27)
We have no money to build. and
in order to have this money to
make plans and estimates, realiz-
ing we have a carryover from
previous years.

Man is not only dependent OF

of his ability to change tn,
world, basic responsibility to en-
sure that ii is changed wisely anc
with restraint, if at all. In Gen.
esiS, man is given dominion ovel
the earth. Thus he is given the
responsibility for the welfare Of
his world, not merely mastership
He must accept the problems anc
duties of keeping this world in
the best possible condition for his
children and children's children,
and for his fellow-creatures which
inhabit it. He was warned even
in Biblical times that he must not
plumber and rape the earth; in
stead, he must move slowly and
wisely in planning each step
foreward to see that it would
not destroy the future of all man
kind.
Fairfield Osborn speaks of man
as the greatest geological force
on the earth. Man can level
mountains, change rivers, sweep
away forests and fill lakes. He
can wipe out an entire specie
with ease, destroy a large city
with a snap of his fingers. With
this awesome power inherent in
him, man must accept the re-
sponsibility accompanying it, or
he becomes as dangerous to his
fellow-man as a small child with
a machine gun. Anyone has the
proper strength to operate it,
but it takes wise adult intelli-
gence to use it properly without
