Senate Postal
Raise Faces
Uncertain Future
WASHINGTON, (AV-'The Sen
ate has passed bills that would
sharply raise postal rates and the
pay of \Vz million federal work
ers. But the postal measure faces
a highly uncertain fate.
Republicans predicted the post
al bill would be vetoed by Presi
dent Eisenhower because the pay
boost it would provide for 500,000
postal workers is far greater than
. what the administration wants.
Raises for one million classi
fied Civil Service workers, in
cluded in a separate bill, are more
in line with administration re
commendations.
Democrats said they believe the
House would decline to accept the
temporary 5-cent stamp on non
local letters, the main new rate
feature in the Senate bill. They
said they were sure the House
would insist on a flat 4-cent letter
rate which it voted last year for
first class mail.
The rate increases voted by the
Senate would bring in about 732
millions annually in each of the
next three years. But the pay
boosts passed would total 737
millions, more than offsetting the
new revenue to the treasury.
Sen. Carlson (R-Kan), adminis
tration spokesman on postal legis
lation, said it might take months
for Senate-House conferees to
work out solutions of problems
involved in the postal rate - pay
measure.
But he said he is hopeful total
pay raises could be brought down
to a figure which would be ac
ceptable to Eisenhower.
The President last September
vetoed bills that would have al
lowed an average pay hike of
12Vt> per cent for postal workers
and 11 per cent for classified
employes.

A Sourdough At The Capitol
By CARRIE McLAIN
New York City
Feb. 14, 1958
Dear Nomeites:
Here’s your news correspond
ent again, now writing from the
“land of her birth.” There is
much to write about this city and
the four other boroughs, with a
9 million population, but I shall
back-track to Washington, D.C.,
first of all.
Even in the winter time Wash
ington is attractive to tourists for
the many, many government
buildings and the Washington
Monument, and Lincoln and Jef
ferson Memorials.
I had a luncheon appointment
with Del. Bob Bartlett, who for a
heavy schedule of work, was
looking better than I had ever
seen him. An Alaskan feeling per
vades his office that is .magnetic
— his three secretaries see to
that. One of them, Marjorie
Smith, an Alaskan, guided me
through the whole Capital what
with its marble staircases and
beautiful paintings especially in
that portion called “the dome,”
that has statues and busts of our
great Americans and a beautiful
frescoe right in the dome that
depicts events in the Americas
right from the time of Columbus.
Both the House and the Senate,
one in a green, and one in a red
color scheme, have wonderful ac
coustics and indirect lighting that
make for pleasant surroundings.
The Senate was not in session,
but in the House the Rep. from
Arkansas and head of the Ways
and Means Committee was ex
postulating on the needs for cer
tain measures. It was my purpose
to attend the session when the
Alaska Statehood Bill would be
debated, but Mr. Bartlett said it
would be another three weeks,
and I could not afford any more
delay for the uncertainty of the
time, both in the House and in
the Senate.
John Held, Cartoon
Chronicler of Roaring
20’s, Dead at 69
BELMAR, N.J., UP)—John Held
Jr., cartoon chronicler of the
“flapper” era, died at his home
here yesterday. He was 69.
Held’s clever line drawings of
flappers were recognized and
loved by an entire generation of
Americans. His girls—dressed in
the flat-chested, sack-dress fash
ion of the time—represented the
“flaming youth” of the Roaring
20’s.
A self-taught artist, Held also
dabbled in sculpture, pottery
making and novel writing.
He was born in Salt Lake City
on Jan. 10, 1889. His father, John
Held Sr., had himself done some
illustrating—although of a much
different sort. He had illustrated
the “Book of Mormon” for the
Church of Christ of Latter Day
Saints.

J. R. MILLER, Bookkeeper
I spent a whole day in the
Smithsonian Institute, never to
forget the Inaugural Bail gowns
worn by the Presidents’ wives on
display, and the chinaware and
silver. Washington’s uniform led
me to believe he was a tall and
spare person. The American Flag
that inspired Francis Scott Key to
write the Star Spangled Banner
as it fluttered over Ft. Henry, was
spread in all its 32 x 40 feet
against one wall, and still holding
together.
The National Gallery of Art is
indescribable for the beauty of
its black marble columns and
fountain in the rotunda from
which emanate the long marble
corridors that lead into each room
holding the many masterpieces.
These rooms get their light from
skylights that is perfect for the
proper viewing of the pictures.
The portrait paintings are so life
like that you feel the personality
is ready to' step out of the canvas.
There are uniformed guards in
nearly every room and one sees
groups of pupils and teachers
studying compositions.
I was never more thrilled to
find the time to vist Mt. Vernon.
When you walk thru the rooms
once occupied by George Wash
ington and his family you feel
you are on consecrated ground.
As you look toward the Potomac
river from the porch that flanks
one whole side, you realize Wash
ington held one of the best lo
cations in the country for the
superb view that it affords. No
trip to Mt. Vernon is complete
without a visit to the tomb where
a guard stands and where peace
and tranquillity reign.
As much as I was impressed by
the furnishings at Mt. Vernon, I
was in for a pleasant surprise the
next day. When we drove to the
century-old colonial home of Mrs.
Yager’s youngest brother, about
20 miles from Hyattsville, in the
pretty rolling country of Mary
land. Here were the bedrooms,
each with a fireplace and heavy
beds of walnut and elaborate
carvings of the headpiece. The
bureaus and highboys heavily
carved, and chairs and rockers of
the period. In one parlor, were
chairs, settees and sofas uphol
stered in damask—much too nice
to sit on, and some chairs in petit
point. The dining room held a
large walnut dining table and
walnut sideboard with a silver
coffee and tea service. Matched
only by that of Mary Todd Lin
coln! A mahogany china closet
reached from the floor to a height
of six feet, filled with rare and
delicate china and glassware. Tho
the kitchen retained its antiques,
it was equipped for modern liv
ing. A large picture of a “hunt”
in Maryland and other appoint
ments completed this thoroughly
colonial setting.
The rest of the letter will be
printed in Wednesday’s issue of
the Nugget.
