So The Star suggested a race.
Why not put the machine and

the machine breaks down mail

ways, depending on the number

Second Break down
This means, he said. that the
hand-sorted mail would have to
be broken down a second time
while Transorma is performing
two sorting operations-primary
and secondary-at once.
Furthermore. said Mr.. Gray
the machines 230-per-minute

1t. He said II men actually are

Just how many We'll be using

Mr.. Maggie made a quick new
calculation and figured that, even
with II men. the machine was
only doing 81 letters per man

I've got a man here who can
do a." he said. He introduced
Joel Lundeen. a veteran mai

Post once in 1909 and is now
vice president Of the Postal

I'm an old man, but I'll stand
up and do "a a minute right

Mr.. Gray said the department

labor is cheaper. But we have

and set q standard and say

said. I'VE want our people to

feel that we're on the same

Mr.. Gray said that he expects
the machines 230-per minute
output to be increased to $50
Iper-minute with experience. He
said that, while five men are
ACTUALLY needed to punch code
buttons on the machine as the
letters flash past. the rest Of the
crew is made UP Of men who
would be needed to carry mail
even in a handspring opera
ton. That brings the per-maii
output to 46 per minute, he said.
Both Sorry
Mr.. Maggie said he was dis
appointed. He had come pre-
pared to put the machine to q
test.
Mr.. Gray said he was sorry,
too, but 1t just wouldn't work.
He promised that next time
Transorma Is installed In q post

Foreign Aid,
Adjourns
By ROBERT X. WALSH

Final adjournment Of Con.

length Of some last lingering
Senate speeches. The House
finished its work shortly after
noon.
House members shouted ap-
proval Of an adjournment res

it to the Senate. Senate lead
ers estimated the remaining
oratory probably would keep
their branch in session until
about 4 pm.
A 194-to-122 House roll call
ended congressional action on
the $3.4 billion foreign aid
compromise bill. This came
after the House concurred, 315
to 0, in Senate adoption Of a
conference agreement on the
bill regulating and restricting
disclosure of FBI files in crimi-
nal trials.

that "the breakfast between

Mr.. Passman agreed. Mr.. Pass
man insisted, however, that the
House won a substantial victory
by preventing restoration Of
more than $244 million Of the
I$500.9 million which the Sem
ate had added to the original
House bill. The $3.4 billion
total. Mr.. PasSman said, is
more than 81 billion below the
