with Mr.. Hoffa.
In arguing for q convention
call. Edward Bennett Williams,
the uniofss lawyer, contended
that reforms have proceeded
far enough to safeguard mem
bers' rights. Furthermore, he
maintained, rank-and- file men,
bers are safeguarded against
corruption and autocratic rule
by the union reform law Of 1859.
Joseph s. Mccarthy, repre-
senting eight Of the insurgents,
contended unsuccessfully that
reforms and compliance with
court orders have not proceeded
far enough to safeguard men,
bers' rights.
Commenting on Judge Let's
ruling, Mr.. Hoffa told reporters:
"It's been a long time In coming
I'm certainly pleased that the
rank and file will have the
opportunity to select delegates
who in turn viii select officers
and amend the constitution.
The officers will have the OPP
portunity to operate the union
without the interference OF
outside agencies"

Trovet Time
Saving Seen
ByKennedy

President Kennedy. in his
highway message to Congress
today, said motorists will save
$4,000 years of travel time every
year once the interstate road
system Is finished.
They viii also be spared
from having to make 8 billion
costly stops and starts" each
year.
Mr.. Kennedy added:
1T has always struck me as
ironic that so many Of our citi-
zens-so ingenious in quickly
devising ways Of ending almost
every minor irritant-would so
readily tolerate every morning
and'evening the incredible con-
gestion Of our antiquated high
ways that takes q heavy toll in
automotive costs and deprecia-
tion, to say nothing Of human
nerves and tempers."
And still another benefit, he
said, would be the saving OF
1000 lives each year by reduc-
ing the high ton Of deaths on
today'S highways. Last year,
he noted. $4,000 died in traffic
accidents.

Such extended benefits last

gram would be financed by an
increase Of four-tenths of / per
cent in the present 81 per cent
tax levied on employers on the
basis Of the first $1,000 Of q
workers wages. The admins
tration originally suggested
that the $500 base be in
creased to $500 without any
boost In the tax rate. -
The Ways and Means Com
mittee last week voted for the
tax increase method without
changing the $4,000 base. It is

But his troubles will not end
soon. The Justice Department
is pressing q fraud indictment
against Mr.. Hoffa In Florida,
and Government investiga-
tions will continue.
Rigging" Charged
Judge Let's established the
three-man board Of monitors
in January. 1858, to settle q
lawsuit by insurgent Teamsters.
The insurgents had charged
that Mr.. Hoffa's election the
previous fall was "rigged."
Mr.. Hoffa and the insurgents
agreed to o compromise under
which he was allowed to take
office as provisional president
and the monitors were assigned
by Judge Let's to conduct Q
general housekeeping" of the
union.
When Martin F. oDonoghue
became chairman of the board
Of monitors, Mr.. Hoffa started
baking at the cleanup direc-
tives-particularly those aimed
at disciplinary action against
his key lieutenants Mr.. Hoffa's
lawyers tangled the monitors
in litigation and Mr.. O'Donog-
hue decided that Mr.. Hoffa
had to be ousted before the
union could be reformed.
Basis for Indictment
A majority Of the board of
monitors filed charges that Mr..
Hoffa misused $500,000 of
union funds in q Florida land
deal. These charges are the
basis for the current Federal
indictment.
But litigation and diSSenSion
among the insurgents in the
union slowed down action by
the monitors, and the Court Of
Appeals made it clear that the
case had to be wound up
quickly.
Taking his cue from the
Court Of Appeals. Judge Let's
ordered hearings on pending
issues, and today's ruling au-

Judge Let's said simply:
''The time has arrived when q

authorized" He left the way
open for setting up some safe
guards to guarantee a clean
convention and perhaps to fol-
low through on some Of the
issues still outstanding.
These issues include court

History Of Postal
Service Traced BY
Georgetown Man

The history of the US. postal
service from its beginnings in 1875
was dramatiZed by Thomas r.
Purnell, Georgetown, acting post
master, at the meeting of the
Georgetown-Millsb Rotary Club
in Masonic Temple last Tuesday
evening.
After sketching the gradual
changes in transportation mean
cost and time consumed, Mr.. Pur-
nell gave a brief glimpse into the
possible future.
1--WE are coming into the
missile age, he said. "and into
the microwave age and may soon
find communications speeded up
even further"
The speaker told of the estab-
lishment of postal service in this
country by the British in 1889 and
said that while later Benjamin
Franklin became administrator for
the British, his pro-American,
sympathies caused him to be fired
However, Franklin was made the
first postmaster general when the
US. set up its own postal service
on July 26. 1775.
AS an example of the growth in
the service, Mr.. Purnell said that
in the period from 1882 TO 1889,
total postal receipts were from
$4,000 to $35, 900 whereas during
the Christmas Holiday in George
town alene, receipts totaled $92,-
600.
He explained that when the pos
tai service started. everything was
COD, because delivery was so un-
crtain. but that this didn't work
out too well as delivery was some
times refused.
Describing the high cost of pos
tai service in contrast to the price
scales at the time. he said that it
cost six cents to send one little
piece of paper 80 miles whereas
full course dinner could be pur-
chased at DeImonico's for IL
cents.
Individual incomes were so low
that only the rich could afford
postal service" he explained
He explained that bootlegging of
mail began to flourish until court
procedures were set up with heavy
fines.
In 1847. according to the speak
er, the general public expressed a
desire for advanced-payment mail
and on July l, 1S47, the first
| postage stamps came into exist
ence in five and 10 cent issues.
In 1855, prepaid postage became
mandatory.
Mr.. Purnell went into detail re-
garding the Pony Express which
ran from st. Joseph, Mo-, to Sac
ramento. Calf. beginning in 1860.
During the Is months of its
life, he continued, there were
10000 pieces carried by the Pony
Express, which is about one days
cancellation at the Georgetown
post office during the Christmas
rush"
"The first trip took nine days
and % hours one way, with IL
days and IL hours for the return
trip. AS they became more pro-
fessional, the trip was cut to eight
days in summer and 10 days in
winter. The record run was seven
days and IL hours when Lincoln's
inaugural address was carried to
California.
Mr.. Purnell said that postal
prices went down from $3.50 to
SIS for half an ounce and finally
to 81.
He set a sharp contrast by
pointing out that today's airmail
costs seven cents and that the trip
takes from four to five hours.
He briefly sketched the growth
and history of the local post office.

to give the budget figures.
But they said the budget pro-

sary for the national well-being
yet will keep our fiscal House
in order by living within our
revenues"
Dirksen said Eisenhower in his
budget message will again stress
the necessity of living within
revenues.
Halleck, taking note of various
