Proposed Postal Increases May Increase Department Expenditures
Some departments at KU are going to find their expenditures soaring if the new postal increases being studied by Senate-House conferees goes into effect. They can have some consolation, however, in the fact that the new hike would be just half of what was requested.
The rate was cut from the proposed five cents to four cents for out-of-town letters. The decisions of the conferees are subject to the approval of the Senate and the House. The conferees were appointed to adjust differences between the two branches of Congress on this legislation.
The Administration warned that only an increase to five cents would do the job, but the conferences decided differently. The post office has operated in the red for years and this increase

Office Shake-Up Nearing End

Collector Gives Items To KU
Two items for the Walt Whitman collection at Watson Library were presented to the University Thursday afternoon by a Whitman collector, Charles Feinberg of Detroit.
The two items were a proof of a work Mr. Whitman had prepared for publication and several photographs of the author and poet.
"A Whitman Collector Destroys a Whitman Myth" was the theme of Mr. Feinberg's talk before 175 persons in Bailey Auditorium.
There is a myth perpetrated by Whitman biographers which describes Mr. Whitman as being an idler and a drifter in his formative year less from 1844 to 1855, Mr. Feinberg said.
"He was a vary practical young man, devoted to his family, and moderately successful in business," the collector stated.
"These documents reveal Whitman as a person who had a constant family interest in his brothers and his mother," he said.
Using receipts, bills, checks, and letters, Mr. Feimberg reconstructed the poet's life up to 1855, the year he had published "Leaves of Grass."
The bills and receipts also showed that Whitman was busy during this period building and selling houses, working for newspapers, running a printshop and later a book and stationer's shop.
"Wittnan was a man who delibertly turned his back on money and his business success to do what he wanted to do—write."
Whitman, he said, was "the archi- tect of the American dream."
