WASHINGTON. — The Interstate
Commerce Commission has granted
the railroads a 10 percent increase in
the rates paid them by the govern-
ment for handling the U. S. mails.
The increase is retroactive to last
Oct. 1.
The ICS estimated the increase will
give the rail industry about $32,500,-
000 a year additional revenue. The
retroactive payments for the period
Oct. 1, 1953-March 31, 1954, were
estimated at $16,500,000.
The 10 percent increase was not
contested by the Postoffice Depart-
ment, which accepted railroad data
on increased operating costs since the
last mail pay adjustments were made
in late 1951.
Originally, the railroads had re-
quested a 45 percent increase in the
mail pay rate. The department said
this would be strenuously opposed.
Finally, both sides agreed to 10 per-
cent.
Mail pay is calculated by a rather
complex formula taking into account
the type of equipment used, the de-
livery mileage and handling costs at
terminals.
At the brief hearing early this
year, the railroads said that for the
year 1952 they received $324,675,000
in mail revenues and that their out-
of- pocket costs for handling this
business amounted to $333,256,995,
leaving a deficit of $8,581,995.
Earned It
“Johnny, who on earth gave you
that black eye?”
“Nobody gave it to me, Mom; I
really had to fight for it.”
CYCLA-MATIC
ERIGIDAIRE
HEIDELBERG, Germany.—The U.
S. Army in Germany is at war with
Cupid.
That doesn’t mean American troops
are firing away at the chubby little
nude. The fact is, the troops are all
for him.
It’s the U. S. Army’s regulations
concerning marriage in overseas
commands that are out for Cupid’s
hide.
The regulations—known as Circu-
lar No. 3—outline in military lan-
guage the steps a soldier in Germany
must take in order to marry his Ger-
man sweetheart and take her home
with him.
The one that is a particular thorn
in Cupid’s side states:
j “The approval date for marriage of
I U. S. personnel . . . will, in no in-
stance, be more than 120 days prior”
to the soldier’s departure for the
United States.
This prevents a soldier from mar-
rying his German sweetheart, no
matter the circumstances, until his
last four months in Germany.
One of the biggest arguments
against the rule is that it encourages
a young soldier and his German
fiance to set up housekeeping rather
than wait until the Army says he can
marry.
Cites Discrimination.
A soldier who falls in love with a
German fraulein when he first gets
over here usually doesn’t want to
wait until the last minute to get mar-
ried. Many of them don’t.
A retired U. S. Army generaal pub-
licly blasted the regulation recently.
Maj. Gen. Arthur R. Wilson (re-
tired) said:
“While preaching morality, the
Army in Germany is actually spon-
soring immorality.
A soldier in Germany can marry
any nationality in the world, except
a German.
“The present marriage policy is
discriminatory and an unAmerican
slap in the face to the German na-
tion.”
The Army’s position is given by
Maj. Gen. John V. Van Houten, as-
sistant chief of staff, at European
Headquarters here.
“There’s only one side to the ques-
tion as the Army sees it. We are
merly implementing existing regula-
tions which have proved satisfactory.
“The Army has the responsibility
of looking after its men. Many of the
soldiers over here are draftees—18
and 19 years old. Their judgment is
not as mature as older men’s.
“The marriage regulations do not
cause a major morale problem, but
naturally there are some individuals
who think that it is big.”
The United States Senate has sat
as a court of impeachment 12 times.
