An administration official
forecasts a drastic curtailment
in postal service" If a tentative
reduction in the Post Office De-
|partments budget is allowed to
stand.
Deputy Postmaster General
Maurice H. STAINS described as
drastic and ill-advised" a pro-
posal by the House Appropria-
tons Committee yesterday TO
whack $50 million from the 1925
billion requested to run the de-
partment in the fiscal year
starting July /. The reduction
would be less than 2 per cent.
However. there were signs the
House might reverse the COM
mittee action. An attempt was
made In the committee to re-
store $34 million Of the money
trimmed from the postal fund.
1t failed, but another effort will
be made on the House floor.
STAINS said the postal budget
was at the workable minimum"
when 1t went to Congress. and
that II the money is not re-
stored. the department will have
to give serious consideration to
curtailing service In one or more
Of the following areas:

asserted that If the cuts stand
serious consideration will have
to be given to curtailing mail
service in one or more Of the
following ways:
Ending Saturday mail deliv-
cries and closing post Offices on
that day, reducing the frequency
of rural deliveries, now made
daily, reducing the multiple
deliveries in business areas and
eliminating the sale OF postal
money orders.

is the first OF the big appropria-
ton measures for the coming
fiscal year.
The committee cut $22, 1884,

quested for the Treasury Depart

entire $l,460.00O it wanted.

for average employment OF 628.-

Auditorium Site
Again Endorsed

The District Auditorium Com
mission has reiterated formally
its unanimous Endorsement of a
Foggy Bottom location for the
proposed national auditorium
and cultural center here.
This action was taken at an
executive session of the commits
sion yesterday, and will be for
warded to a joint House-Senate
subcommittee considering the
auditorium location issue.
During recent Capitol Hill
hearings. the commission report
ed that three sites would be
"suitable"-one in Foggy Bottom
and two in the Southwest redo
velopment area-and asked Con-
IgresS to make a final decision.
AT that time. commission chair
man Agnes E. Meyer stressed a
preference for Foggy Bottom.
Subsequently, it was reported
that commission members had
looked at other areas in the
southwest as a possible COM
promise location. Yesterdays
action. it was understood. was
for the purpose of advising Con-
gress that the commission still
considers Foggy Bottom its No. /
preference.
The Joint subcommittee. headed
by Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, has not yet set a meet
ing date to consider the question.
Mrs. Meyer has urged that the
subcommittee set up a special
study group Of various Federal
and District agencies to assist in
the determination.

Hats of to Secretary Of the
Treasury George Humphrey
for having the moral courage
to tell the American people
that. in effect, we are facing
a depression that will make
your hair curl" Well do we
know that after the full i'm
pact of our S66-billion 1857
tax-take has been felt, and
after the taxpayers have been
knocked to their knees by the
impact of our $72-billion
tax-take in 1858. that just
anything can happen. And
whatever happens can be
charged to conf1scation. Con-
f1Scation by excessive taxation.
and conf1scation by labor union
profiteering on hijacked conf
modify costs.
AFL and Clio now constitute
the most monstrous monopoly
on the face of the earth. and
here's hoping that Senator
John McClellan's congressional
investigating committee cuts
them down to size and puts
them in their place.
The labor union "escalator
clause" should be outlawed be-
cause it pays the labor unions
a double profit by imposing a
double penalty upon all COM
modify consumers.
Unless the American con-
Sumers organize. and quickly,
they will find themselves more
and more at the mercy of or
ganized labor union profiteers.

1t is the Democrats who find
themselves in a dilemma that

but also in the South; and in
the latter it was a factor in
helping the Republicans to
break the once solid South

in such detail about legal
technicalities that the Attor-

twice after his initial appear
ance The North Carolina
Senator affected the familiar
Southern mock humility - l.
may not know-very-much-

stantly reverted to colloquial-
isms which he demurely
branded as such. He found a
match in the Attorney Cen
eral, who knows few tricks
himself, as we'll as considerable
law. and is apt and quick at

what was going on and. while
never using the words dilatory
or filibuSter, said very point
eddy when he expressed his
readiness to return for a Sat-
urday session, that he would
be willing also to give up his
Sundays as we'll as his nights
to examination by the sub
committee.
He is aware that the Eisen-
hover administration is likely
to gain, whatever happens.
Dilatory tactics by Southern
Democrats will react unfavor-
ably for that party among
Negro voters, while adoption
of the program will help the
administration and the Re-
publican Party.
The heart of the Brownell
program is a bill to permit the
Attorney General to move in
with injunctions to protect the
right to vote. The political
Importance of that measure
was made plain to his hearers
when he ventured that many
more Negroes in the South
could have voted in the last

Senator Lyndon johnson Of
Texas, Sen ate Democratic
leader, is acutely aware of the
political dangers to his party
if it fails to meet the civil
rights issue. 1t is his intention
to work with Northern Demo-
Gratis to break a f1libuster, both
in committee and on the floor
itself, in the effort to get a
moderate program passed by
the Senate during this session
to clear the party as far as
possible on the civil rights
issue.
