Albin Urges Postal Savings Withdrawals
. Albin today urged depositors ' with postal savings certificates e to withdraw their accounts from post offices as soon as t possible or as soon as the anniversary dates on their certificates are reached. ' * The Postal Seving system was abolished March 27, 1966, with the signing of Public Law * 89-377 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Postmaster Albin pointed out 'that as of April 28, 1966, no : deposits can be accepted and no new accounts can be, opened. He said that interest will end -on the anniversary date of each certificate. The Postmaster said that for convenience all certificates held by a depositor may be cashed at the same time and interest will be paid for each full month they have been outstanding beyond three months from the in- • terest date. The Postal Savings
system was established January 1, 1911, to get money out of Mding and to attract savings of a large number of immigrants who were accustomed to saving at post offices in their own country; also, it served as a safe depository for people who had lost confidence in
private banks.
TOday, however, with the growth of banking facilities
paying much higher interest rates than the 2 per cent interest per annum paid on Postal Savings, the system has outlived its usefulness for the
American people.
The Postmaster said that unpaid deposits remaining in the Post Office beyond June 30, 1967, would be transferred to the Treasury Department in a trust fund and would be available for payment without time limitation whenever proper
claims are received.
cf world problems, with particular emphasis on the pontiffs hopes for peace in Viet Nam,”
the sources said.
Pope Paul, as part of Ms continuing efforts for world
peace, sent New Tears’ messages to the Russians and Red Chinese urging them to use their influence for a peaceful settlement to the Vietnamese war. He also called for mediation of the war under United Nations’ auspices, but he failed to arouse any response from the Communist nations. Disarmament and food for the world’s hungry were also believed to have been topics at
the meeting.

to the EDITOR
Dear Editor: We wish to express our appreciation and sincere thanks to George Murphey, Soil Conservationist for his assistance in working out a program for full utilization of our recently purchased farm in Putnam County. About the third week In March, on a Saturday, not knowing that Ms office was closed we dropped in on George Murphey. Although it was Ms day off he was working, he did not hesitate to help us; in fact, not until we had taken up more than an hour of Ms time did we find out that his office should have been closed. In short order, we knew that George was the man to see to get things done. When he found that we could not get to Greencastle during the week he offered to contact Paul Jackson, County Agent concerning a program that was not under the auspices of the Soil Conservation Dept. George followed through immediately. In less than one week we had letters from George answering our questions and offering further assistance. George gave us Ms home phone number in case we had any questions and could not contact him at his office. On April 1, less than two weeks after our initial visit, and in the height of the busy season, George Murphey and Paul Jackson went out to our farm curd went over it thoroughly, as {proven by their recommenda-
tions.
We are now putting these recommendations into practice. Putnam County in general and ourselves in particular are fortunate to have the services of George Murphey. Mr. and Mrs. Don R. Woodard 5630 N. Sheridan Rd. Chicago, Illinois 60626.

Must Maintain French Alliance

WASHINGTON UPI _ Dean Acheson, a principal arcMtect of NATO, said today that with or without France the alliance must be maintained as the crucial weight in the East-West
balance of power.
U.S. Morines Making Friends With Natives Of South Viet Nam
Bomb? Bomb? Who has the bomb? Everybody knows how to play the childhood game of “Button? Button? Who has the Button?” In Vietnam the U. S. Marines have given it a new twist, and when you lose this game, you lose your life. The players in the game are the Marines and the Viet Cong. The way it is played, the Marines are always “it.” The big problem is to find the bomb before it explodes. During the military phase of the war, you can identify the VC rather easily, he is the one shooting at you. After the military action is over, the Marines have no way of telling who is a Viet Cong and who is a friendly Vietnamese. This is where civic action takes over.
Civic action is the Marine effort to relieve suffering and assist the local population in Qbtaining food, soap, dothing, shdter, material and educational resources. TMs increases the individual Vietnamese capability to resist the oppressions of the Viet Cong. As the Vietnamese people — the peasants in the hamlets and villages—recognize the Marines as their friends and protectors, their resistance to the VC takes the form of an ever increasing flow of information about the Viet Cong. The more information the Marines receive, the more Viet Cong they are able to eliminate. As the Viet Cong casualties rise, the Marines are able to bring a greater degree of security to the countryside wMch,
Vandalism At Gary School GARY, UPI— Vandals ran amok in Gary Edison High School Tuesday and set a fire wMch caused at least 315,000 damage. Police and arson investigators swarmed on the school seeking clues which they hoped would lead them to the vandals. Detectives said evidence indicated the school was entered and the building ransacked, a section of school trophies was destroyed and considerable damage caused in several classrooms before the intruders broke into the principal’s office, destroyed records and set paper afire.

switch from voluntary controls on it to the House position was “more tactical than real.” Ribdcoff said the Industry conditions, including a major role for it and the states, could ‘turn into the self-regulation automen sought and Ribicoff deplored at Senate Commerce Committee hearings two weeks ago.lt appeared, however, Detroit’s big four—General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors—may have boxed themselves into a corner. For even if the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce went along with the industry, its members would still have to bargain with Senate commerce committeemen, who appear ready to recommend tough legislation.

in turn, once again increases the help the Marines receive from the people. Marines now receive on the average one intelligence report from the Vietnamese people each day. This was unheard of six months ago. The people used to run from the Marines. To them, the Marines were just another rifle bearing breed of man, no different from the VC, worse, in fact, if they cquld believe the Viet Cong propaganda of oppression and cruelty. The Marines soon changed this attitude wherever they went. First they offered security from the Viet Cong terrorist activities. Then the Marines gave the people food and clothing. They gave them tools and materials with which to rebuild their community. And they gave them back their self respect. The Marines pitched In and worked shoulder to shoulder with the people, rebuilding their lives.
That’s civic action, and the civic action in tbs long run will probably be the major factor insuring ultimate success in Vietnam. Support of this program is essential. This la where each American can get “a piece of the action” to insure that the Marines in Vietnam have the materials needed for victory. CARE has established a fund known as the Marine Civic Action Fund for Vietnam. All funds received are used to provide needed civic action supplies for the Marines there. CARE procures tools, food, clothing, health needs, and such other materials as may be required on the advice of the Marines in the area. You can support this civic action by mailing a contribution to CARE. Mark tha envelope, “Marine Civic Action Fund for Vietnam” and mail it to CARE, Inc., 406 LaSalle Building, 1028 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20036.

would be an important step in achieving European unity, and that France’s planned withdrawal was plainly an effort to block such unity. *, The former secretary of state made the statement in testimony prepared for a Senate subcommittee studying NATO. He said it was NATO rather than any gradual modification of Russian policy, which had kept the peace in Europe. The 73-year-old Acheson appeared before the Senate government operations subcommittee on national security and international operations.
