Gen. Clarke said local Gov

CLICK-CLACK
Mail Rush
On, Extra
Help Is Cut

Things are not looking up
for the college student. Two
years ago, even the most
lethargic one could be assured
of a holiday job handling
Christmas mail.
But this year, temporary post
office staffs across the country
have been reduced to half oi
what they we're in 1860. The
Districts city post office alone
has is per cent fewer part-time
helpers than last year.
Post office officials say this
has been accomplished through
better utilization of trained
personnel and machines.
To demonstrate, these Off
cials guided a tour through the
city post office at Massachu-
sets avenue and North Capt.
tol street. 1t was no place for
a Walter NIFTY sort who might
like to dream on the job.
Envelopes were shoveled
quickly from a conveyor belt
into huge carts and from there
to a patching table. A long
line of people hustled the let
ters into trays. Nearby another
line of people fed these letters
into several machines called
Mark II Facer-Cancellers.
I'VE can get 10000 letters
through the Mark II Facer-
Canceller in an hour" said
Postmaster Carlton Beall.
"Today's the beginning of the
big push. It'll be this way for
the next three or four days.
It's much BETTER to work a
trained man a few hours over
time rather than hire a tenn
porary employe to do these
jobs" said Fred Belen, assist

DETAILS OF THIS and

DETAILS OF THIS and
scores Of other rescues are
carried In a monthly bulletin
published by Amver.
There was the seaman
who was seriously injured
when he fell into the hold Of
a Norwegian freighter bound
for the United States.
The "surpic" showed four
doctor-carrying vessels with
in 200 miles.
The British Liner Carinthia
bound for Scotland turned
back, lowered a boat which
is always dangerous at sea,
and took the man on board.
Surgery was necessary and
so were blood and antibiotics.
His blood was the unusual
O-2 type. 1t was flown from
New York to Argentia, New
Foundland.
A Coast Guard plane flew
TO the Carinthia and
dropped supplies. Surgery
was successful. The man
recuperated In a Liverpool
hospital.
The Coast Guard does not
order the ships TO respond TO
these emergency calls. 1t Is
the tradition OF the sea 10 do
so.
One day Of a freighter at
sea is worth at least $1,000
and that of a passenger
liner, many thousands. The
computer in New York with
its surface pictures not only
saves lives, II saves shipping
interests untold sums by en-
abling the selection Of a ship
or two to make the rescue,
rather than having a dozen

such legislation on either the
State or county level. The
statement came after the Coun-
TVS Republics uncontrolled

Mr.. Blondes said he had
campaigned on a platform TO

not be done through the legis-
lature he hoped the county
would consider amending State
laws.

The
Rambler
Computer
Saves Lives
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler long has been
fascinated by the varied
uses of the giant computer
machines.
They predict the weather,
project the budget, plot the
course of the shots at Venus
and enable corporations to
keep their inventories cur
rent.
Just the other day he.
heard that the Coast Guard
is using the memory of an
1BM 300 computer to save
lives at sea.
Coast Guard headquarters
is in the Old Southern Rail-
way building on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue
at Thirteenth street.
There Capt. Thompson,
who is in charge Of informa-
ton, put the Rambler in
touch with 1t. Comdr. Jules
du Piza, who recently had
been in the New York office
Of the Coast Guard in the
Customs building at the Bat
terry, where the computer is
located.
The Coast Guard is as
fond as the Navy of forming
words with initial letters.
This is called Amver, which
stands for American Mer-
chant Vessel Report.
This is the way it operates:
On a typical DAY the ma
chine is keeping track Of
about 800 vessels in the
Atlantic.
When a ship starts her
voyage, she informs Amver
Of her position and her
course. She gives these addi-
tional data: Capable speed
communication information
(wave lengths and hours in
which an operator is at the
earphone and key.
She also informs the
Amver, and this is very i'm
portant, whether she has a
doctor on board.

who did not report for work.
AS the strike went into its
third day, it appeared the
Prince Georges County busline
offered about one fourth of its
normal service. Contentious
about the number of buses on
the rush-hour run to WASH
ington today varied according
to the source of the estimate.
Opposing Actions
Officials of Local 284, Trans
port Workers Union of America
(AFL-CIO), were baked in a
plan to rent buses to make free
runs into the Washington ter
minal at Eleventh and Penn
sylvania avenue NV.

3. VIVA filed five charges Of
unfair labor practices against
the union with the National
Labor Relations Board.
4. Union officials branded as
ridiculous" company charges
that a striker had set fire to
a bus on st. Barnabas road.
There was no police or fire re-
port of the incident.
IL Buses, Union Says
Joseph Hanaberry, an inter-
national representative of the
l20 strikers, claimed the COM
pany managed to get only II
of its ITO buses on the street
this morning. Union picketers
passed out leaflets today ac-
cusing the company of using
supervisors without Interstate
Commerce Commission licenses
and strike-breakers to drive the
buses. ,
The leaflet said the union
regretted the inconvenience to-
the public but warned that
drivers unfamiliar with the
buses and routes had caused
accidents.
Company vice president Sam
uel Sardinia. helping get as
many commuters as would fit
into buses at Fairfax Village
this morning, said 20 vehicles
were operating early today.
The usual ber in the
morning rush is As, he said.
The company is getting rs per
cent of its usual load to
Washington today. according to
Mr.. SARDINIA.
Union Disputes
The union challenged this,
figure, saying the "A" and ID"
routes we're out Of service and
that these are two Of the
company's major lines between
Kent Village and Oxon Hill to
Washington. Both sides said
these lines were in service to-
day: "B" from District
Heights; ~" from Andrews
Air Force Base; H" from
NARROW Heights and 81" from
Bradbury Heights.
All negotiations have broken
off between company and un-
ion since the strike began at
1901 am. Sunday. The strike
is illegal and unprotected" ac-
cording to VIVA, but union Of
ficials said 1t was called upon
expiration OF the two-year con-
tract and has the sanction OF
