Ariii r m l v major mail ban !
ling f, • • !V v." Call it "a post
office.”
These and up er samples of
postal jargon were placed on the
undesirable list by James Kcllehcr,
special assistant to Postmaster
General J. Edward Day.
In a memorandum to all Post
Office Dept, head , Kcllehcr took
a swipe at what he called the
estoric prose some of them use in
news releases channeled through
his office.
The memorandum was inspired
by an announcement that a con
tract had been awarded for a new
postal lubritorium in Evanston.

“For more than a year, I've
been trying to get them to say
‘garage’,” Kelleher sighed. ‘‘And
what they come up with after
all'”
In his memorandum Kelleher
cited this as the kind of language
he’d like to see eliminated:
“Space will be available for
balloons for accommodation dis
tribution, and creepers will be in
stalled to assist personnel in the
cannibalization of bums!”
Translation:
“There will be room for full I
mail bags in the final sorting
stage, and catwalks will be built
to help workers checking emptied
bags to make certain they don’t
contain a wayward piece of mail.”
The memorandums also men
tioned “preliminary tentatives.”
These are merely artists’ drawings
of newly planned mail handling
facil-er, post offices.
New Army Game . . .
LONDON (yPt — Britain’s legal
authorities admitted Tuesday that
the new army game — getting out
of the armed services bv running
for political office — had them
momentarily stopped.
The big question is how to
legally halt the stampede.
So far, 245 persons have regis
tered as candidates for two vacant
seats in the House of Commons.
The vast majority are servicemen.
Someone discovered that bj7 run
ning for Commons, a serviceman
is automatically excused from fur
ther duty.
The government decided to
rush through a new law that would
dam the deluge of armed forces
candidates. But drafting the law
isn’t as easy as it sounded.
The government has encounter
ed legal complications. Some of
its best legal brains have yet to
find a solution to safeguard the
interests of all.

The splintered structure col
lapsed when its piling foundation
was swept from under it, taking all
away except the contents of the !
cash register in the Arctic Bar
which was grabbed up as customers
ran to safety.
The crashing building also sever
ed a mainline water pipe and
caused an electricity outage in the
immediate area for a short period, j
The entire two floors were dump- 1
ed into the angry waters, leaving '
the bar room teetering on the bank I
of the stream. Even it was ex
pected to go with the next high
tie'e and the water rising in the
creek under pressure of the heavy
rains which continued unabated.
The collapse of the building fol
lowed a near - record downpour
of 7.28 inches of rain in a 12-14
hour period.
There were no persons in the j
sleeping rooms on the second floor
of the building and there were no j
injuries reported.
Soviet Troops Withdrawn j
^rom Cuba at Slow Rate
WASHINGTON ifh — Soviet
troops are being withdrawn from |
Cuba at a very slow rate, U.S. i
officials said Tuesday. And al- i
though the United States is not j
pressing Russia on the issue it is
expected to do so if the with
drawals are not speeded up fairly
soon.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
told a news conference Monday
that the role of Soviet combat
units in Cuba “is of great concern
to us and something we will fol
low very carefully.”
“Certainly we in this hemisphere
could not accept as a normal
situation any Soviet military pre
sence in Cuba,” he said.
The number of Soviet officers
and men stationed on the Carib- j
bean island is estimated at 9,000 !
to possibly 15,000 — some organ- j
ized. Rusk said, “into what ap
peared to be Soviet combat units.”
He described the scale of So
viet power in Cuba as “modest
. . . but well armed.”
“Whether these troops were
there for the protection of certain
sites, missile sites or otherwise, or
for some other purpose is some
thing that is being, of course,
ivatched very carefully.
