Individual Assessment

The Accounting Office rec
commended that the department
determine on an individual
basis whether it is better to
lease or build a post office,
rather than set down a blanket
leasing policy as at present.
The report includes a COM
ment from the department that
the need for flexibility in oper-
ating its post offices makes
leasing more advantageous for
the Government.
In another report the GAO
criticized the Department of
Labor's policy Of permitting
States to carry over unused
Federal contributions to State
employment agencies for use in
later years.

By the Associated Press

The Post Office Department
was told today it could save
money by building post offices
instead Of leasing them.
The General Accounting Of
flee, reporting on a study of
81 small leased post offices,
said leasing costs over a 20
year period would be $40 mil
lion more than the cost of
owning them. And in addition
the Government would have
title to the land if it put up
its own buildings.
The Post Office Department
is now leasing about $500 post
offices for S51.5 million a year.

Congress Not Aware

It's review Of the period from
1857 through 1862 shows the
States carried over a total of
s32.4 million in this fashion
without Congress being aware
of It, the GAO said.
If the congressional Appro-
priations Committees were in
formed of the amounts of
money left over each year they
could cut new appropriations
accordingly. the report said.
The GAO urged Congress to
write specific language into its
appropriation bills that would
stop the practice.

The Everybody Wins" cam

and inspiring contest.
At this writing, l want to ex-
press my many thanks to all of
the good folks that subscribed
for the first time and for those
who renewed their subscriptions
to the Sentinel. Although every
contact was not a sale for the
Sentinel, it was a sale for me
in making new friends.
AS my sales were made on a
part-time basis, I was not in a
running position for a prize, but
the commission paid put extra
money in my purse.

of my subscribers.

Mr.. MacNeil does not profess
to write for posterity, some
current references could
seem superfluous or outdated

course, is a hazard Of telling
the story Of a House which
presently is conservative,
powerful and vigorous but
has not always been so and
could change again.
Only the crabbieSt critic
or nnest-skinned Con-
gresham, however. would
accuse the author Of being
opinionated in interpreta-
ton, dogmatic in conclu-

If this book sights the

because the House so often
has been buried as a lower

admittedly has a rather poor

who consider only its super
ficial sound and fury and
the all-too-evident doings of
some mediocre, demogagic or

All this and more goes into

Objective Portrait
Although the book is plain
ly pro-British in general and
pro-Churchill in particular,
the portrait Of Sir Winston
that emerges is amazingly OBJ
jective, and there are many
traces Of the tactics that
made Sir Winston a beloved
personality as a leader dur
ing the war but cost him the
election in 1945. He was al
most a reactionary In some
domestic issues and on vari-
Gus occasions beat down OPP
position on non-war matters
on the ground that any criti-
cism Of his coalition govern
ment would weaken Britain's
position in the eyes OF the
world. He fully expected TO
win the general election and
felt the loss as a personal
rebuff, but some Of his asso-
ciates freely predicted the
outcome.

note to the many books writ
