Crucial Votes Needed To Pass Poverty Bill WASHINGTON (UPD— House leaders today planned to call up President Johnson’s “must pass” anti-poverty bill with the prospect that a few crucial votes could spell victory or defeat for administration forces. Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, the Republican presidential nominee, voted against the measure in the Senate, calling it an election - year gimmick aimed at winning votes rather than curing poverty. His charge did not stop 10 Republican senators from supporting it, but the argument seemed to be making more headway in the House. No more than two House Republicans have supported the bill publicly to date, and a number of GOP members who sometimes .go along with the Democrats have denounced it. Other congressional news: Investors: The House was expected to approve a far-reach-ing bill aimed at increasing investor protection, especially in the over-the-counter securities market. The legislation would require many issuers of nonlisted stocks and bonds now applying to those selling listed securities. It would also increase qualification standards and,, disciplinary' controls over individuals dealing with stocks and bonds. _ ■.......... Appalachia: Despite promises from administration supporters that the $1 trillion Appalachia bill will stop automatically in five years, Republican opponents charge that it is “a special massive relief program for one comparatively small part of the nation.. Republicans charge that the bill is “hastily drawn, poorly conceived, ineffective and costly. It is expected to be taken up later this week in the House.

Vance Hartke made known his interest in this city’s water problems in a letter that was read at the city council's first meeting in August Tuesday evening in Gity Hall. Hartke, in his letter to Mayor Carl D. Gerber, said that in regards to the recent conference he had with ‘he mayor, he is continuing his interest in this city’s water problems, and that city officials should “feel free to call” him at any time. Other letters, a wage scale appointment, water consumption, and water mains, s’reet work and a burnt riding mower also came to the attendtion of the council in its meeting last night.

July Water Fiqures Set The July water consumption in Decatur set a new, all-time high for the city, according to a report given the city council last night by city engineer Ralph E. Roop.

Postmaster Suggests Fair Postal Exhibit Visitors to the New York World's Fair from Decatur have an unusual opportunity to see a past office of the future, Postmaster John Boch, said today. A carefully-chosen group of 80 employees from New York area post offices man the facility which handles all the Fair’s mail and some from the Flushing, New York area. The outside mail is used to keep the highly mechanized devices operating at “full tilt.” The post office handles approximately 250,000 pieces of mail each day. Postcards to friends and relatives back home are a big item. About 30,000 are mailed from the Fair each day. One third of these are addressed to persons overseas. Foreign visitors have no trouble understanding U.S. postal operations. The facility has staff members who speak twenty languages. Postmaster Boch notes that residents of Decatur who attend the Fair and wish to try out their foreign language ability can either talk with the multilingual window clerks or listen to a tape recorded presentation in the post office lobby which features individual earphones for those who speak Japanese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. New equipment on hand includes an experimental PitneyBowes Centrifeed which spins envelopes rapidly around a wheellike mechanism and places them upright on their longest side. They move into a machine which cancels stamps and postmarks envelopes at a rate of 500 letters a minute. Letters are sorted to go all over the world by machines which position the mail so that the addresses are visible to an oper.ator who sits in front of a keyboard similar to that on a typewriter. By pressing the correct buttons, 100 letters a minute are automatically directed to bins for 50 different destinations. A larger device, the Burroughs sorter, drops letters and cards into 131 different bins at a rate of 58 letters per minute for each of the twelve operators. The work area is surrounded by a ramp and gallery for visitors which is open from 11 A.M. to 6 P.M., seven days a week. _ the atqion on the work floor and describe the operations of each machine. Outside the building, mail boxes from 21 countries serve as background for the red, white and blue box of the United States. A prototype stainless steel mail box is being tested as an eventual replacement for the standard box used for the past forty years is located at one of the Fair’s busiest intersections. Postmaster Boch suggests that Decatur area visitors to the Fair express their comments on the new box by dropping a note addressed to the “Superintendent, World’s Fair Post Office” through the modernistic mail slot. Postage is not necessary. If they wish, visitors may discuss their reactions with clerks at the post office building.
