The enforcement of SHORTER
HOURS for postal employees, or
a reduction in the number of em
ployees, is also having its effects,
measurable mostly in terms of
resentment if we are to report
accurately on the situation. “We
used to gefc our mall early in the
morning,” said one typical com
mentator. “Now we go back
there at nine pr ten or eleven
o’clock and each time find that
we have some more mail.” It was
made plain that business activi-
ty here was thus placed on a
slow-down basis or partial shut-
down, reflecting accurately the
cut in man-hours of postal serv
ice which was believed to be res
ponsible for comparatively slow
distribution. The critics were con
vlnced that the thing to do was
not to blame local personnel but
to inform legislators of the seri-
ous effects of their economy
move.
Citizens here know that over-
seas LEND-LEASE commitments
are counted in BILLIONS of dol-
lars while expenditures for serv-
ing American citizens and busi-
nessmen are too often grudgingly
counted in millions, and they are
occasionally critical of the policy
of thus supporting entire foreign
nations on a multi-billion dollar
scale for no apparent good rea-
