Editor Says Mail Zip-Code To Flop

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Guest conductor and also subject of today’s essay will be Ernest F. Lyons who should be the envy of every press association and newspaper working stiff who maneuvers this piece toward print or into, the waste basket. Lyons probably has the best job in journalism. He is editor of the Stuart, Fla.,?tews which means that he works and goes fishing in the Stuart-Jensen Beach area of east coast Florida. The News is a weekly, fat with local news, advertising,, and pictures each Thursday. It easily would rate among the. 10 best weeklies in the United States. The combination of an exceptionally good newspaper in the exceptionally delightful Stuart - Jensen Beach area is what makes Lyons’ job, maybe, the best in journalism. Lyons is a friendly man slow to anger. The Post Office Department’s new zip-code, however, is too much for editor Lyons. He says it will be a flop and he fears it will be the most expensive burden on business and industry since taxes. In the News, Lyons wrote: “The U.S. printing industry should chip in for a solid gold monument to Postmaster Gen--eral F. Edward Day. Good For Printers “His new zip-code numbers, coming as they do ahead of dog days, jvill be a shot-in-the-arm to the printers in an otherwise dull period and .will cost American business untold millions of dollars. “Indeed, if we were in the printing business (the News has no job shop), we would call in our salesmen and give them a pep talk. Get ou there boys and sell. Every letterhead and envelope in the U.S.A, is out-of-date. They got no zip!’ “And there would be a sense of urgency in our attempt to get this business, the sweetest printing plum since the phone companies changed over to the dial system. “For Common sense would tell us that zip is going to be a dismal flop and we’d better make hay while the sun shines.

beings just aren’t -made like computers and it would take a computing system to remember all of the zip numbers of all of the correspondence in which the average person engages. The general idea that Postmaster General Day is trying to sell is that, if you send it by zip it will go by fast U.S. mail; if not by zip it will go by slow U.S. mule. Predicts Flop “There is only one cure for it, another mammoth printing job listing the zip numbers of every post office in the United States, a copy to be furnished every person using the U.S. mails. And even the firm that prints the Sears Roebuck catalogs would be glad to get that order. We predict that it will be a flop.” The beauty of Lyons’ job is that he can do something affirmative about his frustrations. When, for example, he is overcome by some such enormity as Postmaster General Day’s zip-code, Lyons can rig an eel skin on a line and take a 30-pound snook from the St. Lucie River. Or, with more elaborate gear he can tie into a sailfish off shore. In a more contemplative mood, editor Lyons can simply sit and observe the little St. Lucie fish leaping to escape the big fish. The leapers will be up to 18 inches long and may weigh a couple or three pounds. The big ones down below are really big, tarpon. What we working stiffs think about editor Lyons is this: We think he’s got it pretty soft. Rumor Khrushchev To Visit In Cuba * HAVANA (UPD — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev may arrive in Havana today to take part in Friday’s mass observance of the 10th anniversary of the abortive Santiago revolt, it was reported here. Rumors of Khrushchev's possible arrival have been circulating for weeks. Speculation was heightened when a number of cabinet ministers canceled today’s appointments, saying “we must be at the airport to receive an important personage.” Some observers considered it significant that a fueling stop 1 was arranged recently in Guinea I for Soviet airliners flying between Russia and Cuba, possibly to decrease the risks of a Khrushchev trip. Planes flying non-stop often arrive with only 15 to 20 minutes’ fuel remaining in their tanks. Premier Fidel Castro arrived in Russia this year in time to take part in the annual Moscow May Day observance. His departure i from Cuba was not announced until he had arrived in Russia and his return trip was equally secret, ostensibly because he feared a U.S. attack. It was announced while Castro was in Russia that Khrushchev would visit Cuba this year. The Castro regime is commandeering 7,500 taxis to help bring provincial residents into Havana for the mass demonstration commemorating the 1953 attack on Santiago's Moncada barracks.

Hospital Suite At Otis Has Nursery WASHINGTON (UPD — Memo to Pierre Salinger: That suite at Otis Air Force Base, Mass., which you described as a residence for visiting officers is equipped with incubator, bassinet and baby scale. There’s a nursery there, too. As you made abundantly clear Wednesday, whatever was done at Otis was done without the White House’s request or knowledge. But reporters became slightly confused upon hearing the President’s press secretary deny that a suite had been set aside at the Otis Hospital for possible use by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy when she has a baby next month. Suite Exists As it turned out, there is such a suite. The Air Force spruced it up without telling the White House. And if any “transient of- ! fleers’’ use the premises—as you ■ insisted thev do—they will find: I Two elaborately furnished sit-i-ting rooms; a reception-sitting room; six bed rooms; a nursery; a recently modernized kitchen; two workrooms for nurses; two areas for stationing secret serv--1 ice ' agents—and a simple room i with hospital bed, color television set, oxygen outlets, glucose con-

tainers, and the aforementioned incubator, scale and bassinet. Reporters and news cameramen were allowed to see the suite Wednesday. The furniture looked new to them. We know you said “There has been no furniture bought or anything.” But sources at a Boston department store'said they delivfered some to the suite about a month ago, after the rooms were redecorated. Built After Inspection An Air Force spokesman said the suite, 100 feet from the hospital’s delivery room, was renovated at a cost of almost $5,000 after Mrs. Kennedy’s doctors inspected it with emergency needs in mind. Mrs. Kennedy still plans, you said, to return here and have her third child at the Walter Reed Army Hospital. The remodeling of the hospital suite, including soundproofing for the rooms, was described by the Air Force as part of a $1.2 million renovation program for the entire 500-bed hospital. Somehow the suite fell into the .renovation schedule after the first lady's physicians, obstetrician John W. Walsh and White House Dr. Janet Travell, dropped by for their look at the rooms. Berne Firemen Are Called To Rural Fire The Berne fire department answered a call to the Elmer Amstutz farm southeast of Berne Tyesday afternoon. They extinguished a blaze on the roof of a woodhouse. A large hole was burned in the roof, but there was no other damage. Sparks from a fireplace fire in a wash house are belived to have started the blaze. Mrs. Amstutz with the help of neighbors, kept the fire under control until firemen arrived.

Governors Wind Up Annual Conference

MIAMI BEACH lUPD—Republican governors have emerged from the national governors’ conference with a new show of unity but braced for a party-rending contest over the 1964 presidential nomination. From the start of the conference Sunday until adjournment Wednesday, the Republicans kept the sizable Democratic majority on the defense on the civil rights issue—an issue barred by gentlemen’s agrement until two years ago from the annual meeting of state executives. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York led the GOP assault against the Democrats on that; issue this week and convinced all Republicans and Democrats here that he already was an active candidate for the 1964 presidential nomination. On all the key votes, the Republicans gave an unusual display of unity. Rockefeller and his allies were joined by GOP governors unfriendly toward him and learning toward Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona for the presidential nomination. Drive Begins Sunday The unity drive began Sunday when GOP National Chairman William E. Millermet with the Republicans present to organize a party caucus. The caucus then • Peter Schug Attends Education Workshop MUNCIE, Ind. — Peter Schug, 617 Jefferson St., Berne, is attending a two-week education workshop at Ball State Teachers College from July 22 to August 2.

met daily with Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon as temporary chairman. The more formal-sounding “Republican Governors’ Association” was set up Wednesday with Gov. Robert E. Smylie-of Idaho, now in his third four-year term, as chairman. It was announced that the new association would meet periodically “for the purpose of establishing concerted action” with GOP congressional leaders and the Republican National Committee. While Rockefeller was monopolizing attention, there was no sure feeling about how much good he had done for his political cause. But there was a unanimous feeling that he had decided to go for broke in contesting

Goldwater or any other potential rival for the presidential nomination. Anderson Gets Query At the close of the conference, Gov. John Anderson of Kansas was elected chairman for the coming year. Asked at a news conference who was favored by Kansas Republicans for the presidential nomination, he said: “I would put my state with those taking a wait-and-see attitude.” Anderson also brushed off Democratic criticism the Republicans had injected too much politics into the conference. “Politics is government and government is politics,” he said. Under the tradition calling for the chairmanship to be exchanged annually between the parties, Anderson replaced Democratic Gov. Albert D. Rosellini of Washington. He then presided over the first meeting of the newly elected executive committee, which voted to hold next year’s conference at Cleveland. xs ~
