Our Meet Postmen'

Your June ~ editorial,
sour Neat Postmen," did not
tell the entire story. Certainly
you did not give a true pic
ture of the position of the
National Association of Let
ter Carriers.
The average person reading
your editorial could reason
ably conclude that the local
acting postmaster had in
augurated something new
and different in ordering an
inspection of letter carriers.
Your readers could also in
fer that the National Associ-
alton of Letter Carriers is
opposed per sc to inspections.
With a background of Is
years of close association with
letter carriers and their en-
ployment, I can assure you
that inspections have been
traditional in the postal es-
tablishmert. Moreover, the
letter carriers union has al
ways supported high stand
ards of personal appearance
and proper uniform attire.
In ordering daily inspec-
ticns, complete with TV cam
eras grinding away, the local
acting postmaster has added
only one original note. He has
discovered a new way of de-
laying the delivery of the
mails with his unnecessary
and time-consuming daily
inspections. Perhaps higher
postal authorities should in
spect the local office to deter
mine if Mr.. Beall and his
supervisory staff have enough
work to occupy their time.
In my opinion. The Star
failed to pass inspection by
its failure to note editoriallv
the gratuitous insult the local
acting postmaster handed let
ter carriers. This would be
his snide remark that a sec
ond inspection of carriers
would be held upon their re-
turn from their daily rounds
ito see if they've stopped off
for a drink"
For a fellow who appar-
emily could not detect racket
eering in Prince Georges
County, he seems to have
been blessed with marked
improvement in certain of
his sense organs. He is now
prepared to detect a crooked
seam in d uniform trousers
at ten PAGES. Also, his i'm
proved olfactory powers will
enable him to determine if
letter carriers "are indulg-
ing in only good fresh air
and clean fresh water"
Well, Mr.. Beall got consid-
cradle free publicity with his
cspruce-Ip> cleanup, morale
raising gimmick. But Ill
wager that once the TV cam
eras are withdrawn and the
newspapers get back to re-
porting the legitimate news,
the overwhelming majority
of letter carriers will con-
tinue to prefer the TV YER
sion of Wyatt carp.

1t to founder prematurely
at a design desk"
Proposals for the new craft
which the National Academy
oceanographers consider en-
tirely practical:
A spherical shell with an
internal diameter OF eight
feet which will provide space
for one pilot, two observers,
permanent navigational and
scientific instruments and Is
cubic feet for portable instru-
ments-the whole load to
weigh about a ton.
An air generator which will
provide about three times as
much pure air as will be re-
quired by three men in 20
hours.
At least two windows, one
looking forward and one
down, which will be easily
accessible to pilot and OBJ
servers. THE Importance Of
being able to see," the pro-
posal says, can hardly be
overestimated. The human
eyes have recovering power,
depth perception. good color
resolution and an effectively
wide angle. Any of these is
difficult to obtain with tele-
vision"
A top speed of four knots
for two hours. A towing speed
OF seven knots in smooth
water and three knots in
fairly rough sea.
Ability to move around
objects on the bottom, to
pillow" the bottom for sam
pies.
Easy up-and-down control
which can be achieved if the
entire ship has a conpressi-
ollity somewhat less than
that of sea water.
External Arms
External arms with which
the operator will be able to
manipulate nets or instru-
ments, pick up rocks weigh

better alloys in the hull and
particularly if a better float
can be devised" says the re-
port, 1.-The vessel should be
much smaller than the ear
Her bathyScaphs."
The present bathyscaphs
nave steel alloy hulls which
weigh about twice the water
they displace. New alloys of
steel and aluminium, says the
report, can make the. weights
about equal at $4,000 feet.
The committee also pro-
poses a simpler bathyscaph
Tor use at middle depth to
explore the upper few thou
sand feet OF the sea where
most of the life is concen-
trated. This could be made
small enough to be carried on
a general-purpose research
snip like a lifeboat. This. the
committee believes, would be
especially valuable in detect
ing and tracing undersea
rivers, the submerged current
systems several of which were
found during the Internal
tlonal Geophysical Year.

Capacity of Well
To Be Known Soon

1t will be another few days be-
fore the City Council of Oakland
will know the capacity of the new
well, according to Henry w. Nc
Comas, chairman of the water de-
partment.
A pump was attached to the
well which was operated for a
short time, but McComas said
there was some defect in the pump
controls and that a man was due
in Oakland today to repair the
difficulty.
A temporary test showed 300
gallons a minute, but he was UNI
able to say whether or not this
quantity would remain constant
after being in use for twenty-four
hours. If it did the one well would
supply enough for Oakland's daily
needs
At present the town is continuing
to haul water from Harrington
creek.

Freedom. Textbooks $500

Freedom is expressed in by many people, but
almost universally freedom has been stimulated and taught
in the pages of free pressfree to seek out the truth and
free to express these facts.
Never has any part of human society been called
consistently than the press to play significant role in pro-
tectng the rights of individuals Your newspaper today not
only key to better living but is truly freedoms textbook
To limit the press in its attempts to obtain accurate ana
factual information would be to limit your right to knowa
basic concept in free society Despite this role there
those would deprive newspaper readers of this freedom
The barring of reporters from town council meetings,
legislative hearings public committee meetings and court
trials is in real infringement your right to
know restriction your newspapers right to teach and
report.
Certainly, these practices should be condemned
could hardly take such stand without first look
ing to ourselves knowing full well that practice what
advocate.

Destroyed by Fire

The frame dwelling of Harvey B.
Sines, in the Underwood section
was entirely destroyed by fire
along with the contents of the
building about 2:3O last Saturday
morning.
The home was not occupied at

residing in another house about
so to IS yards away. Most of his
furniture was inside, however. A
fireman said that Mr.. Sines had
built fire in a stove in the build
ing to keep fruit from freezing He
happened to awaken and saw the
flames enveloping the building.
The Oakland Fire department
responded to the alarm but the
house was too far gone upon ar
rival to save anything but the out
buildings.
Firemen reported insurance of
$500 on the furniture and $1,000 to
$500 on the home.

Bridge Re-Opened
To Limited Traffic

The bridge across the Little
Youghiogheny river which was
closed for repairs last Wednesday
afternoon following a report by
state roads engineers that they
could not even recommend the
present structure for foot traffic,
was reopened to limited traffic
Saturday after supports had been
put in place.
The County Commissioners and
the City Council of Oakland CO.
operated in the repairs which now
make the bridge safe for a three
ton load limit.
Darrell Wotring, county roads
supervisor, said that workmen had
placed supports under all concrete
spans, welded steel plates at all
rusted spots and had reinforced
the structure where necessary to
conform to recommendation of
State Roads commission engineers.
Worlmen began the repairs
Thursday afternoon and worked
less than two days.
The County Commissioners met
with Thomas B. Finan, secretary
of state, in Cumberland last Friday
afternoon in regard to possible
state aid for construction of new
bridge across the river, to be
erected possibly next spring.
To Close Another Bridge
Mr.. Wotring said the County
Roads department was preparing
to close the bridge over the Crel-
lin-Turner Douglas highway on
October 26, for repairs, and that
it would remain closed for a week
or more. This bridge will be re-
built and will end up being a two
lane bridge instead of the present
One-lane type Motorists will be de-
toured through the Dorsey Ashby
farm 10 the Crellin-Underwood
road.
