Postal Service Is Now Operating Under Big Deficit Postmaster Joe E. Ray of Mur phy recently stated that the Postal Service, which serves faithfully every city, hamlet and rural-side community in the United States, is operating under the biggest def icit in the history of this govern ment agency. This condition is , due first, to the high costs of op eration. and secondly, to the fact that the postal rates and fees have not been increased sufficiently comparable to the co6ts of opera tions. There will be a deficit in the Postal Operations as long as pos tage rates and fees are inadequate to meet the costs of operation. Congress alone can determine whether the Post Office shall sup port itself as any other business by authorizing increases in pres ent postage rates to meet the op erating costs, or the Congress may elect to keep the Postal System a Service Institution that partially supports itself under existing laws, and then annually appropriate ad ditional sums from the General Fund to offset deficits . Since 1945 the fixed operating costs have increased at a rate of nearly 1.5 billion dollars on an an nual basis, while additions to the revenue by increases in postage rates and fees have been incrased only at the rate of ?390 million a year, a difference of over a billion dollars in expenses above the an nual additional revenues Even with the new increase in postage rates, it is estimated that there will be about 669 million dollars deficit in 1953. And inasmuch as the deficit must be paid out of the general taxation. Postmaster Gen eral M. Donaldson is greatly con- ' cerned. and has called attention to the great increase in the cost of salaries and transportation in the current fiscal year over 1945. The Post Office Department cannot set its financial policies, and does not. Department policies are set by direction of the Con gress. the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Civil Aero nautics Board, as well as other regulatory agencies of the Fed eral Government. I The total obligations of the Post Office Department for the fiscal year. 1951. amounted to $2,458, 000.000. 95.6 percent of that amount was for salaries, transpor tation. travel and rents. The obligations estimated for 1952 amounted to S2.738.105.261, while the estimate for 1953 shows an increase of 3.2 percent over the 1952 estimate. ATHLETES FOOT GERM HOW TO KILL IT. IN ONE HOUR.

New Law Gives Benefits To Korean Veterans Education and training benefits comparable to those for World War II veterans in the original GI Bill are provided for veterans who have served in the armed for ces anywhere since June 27, 1950, under terms of the new GI Bill for Korean veterans which became law with the President's signature on July 16. The new law took effect on that date, but no training allowance may be paid for any period prior to August 20. A veteran is allowed one and one-half days of training for each day he had in service after the outbreak of the Korean fighting? regardless of where the sen-ice was performed?up to a maximum of 36 months. However, veterans who have previously trained under earlier veterans' training laws?the World War II Gi Bill or Public Law 16 or R94 for the disabled?may get up to 43 months, minus whatever time they have already spent in training under those earlier pro grams. A veteran may train in school or college, on-the-job or on-the farm. so long as the school or (raining establishment has been approved by an appropriate State Approving Agency and meets oth er qualifications of the law. Only one change of course program is allowed, except under certain con ditions determined by the VA. Veterans in GI Bill training will receive an education and training allowance each month from the Government, to meet part of the expenses of their training and liv ing costs. Tuition, books, supplies and equipment will not be paid by the Government. Instead, they will have to be paid out of the monthly allowance.

For on-the job trainees the top monthly rates vary from $70 to $105. For institu tional on-farm trainees the rates range from $85 to $130. The law 1 requires that on-job and on-farm rates be reduced, at four-month intervals, as the training progress es and the veteran's own earnings increase.
