Odds, Ends From Capital By LEON BURNETT WASHINGTON (UPI) and ends from the nation's capi tal mostly odd: When the Nixon administration says the nation's mail system needs a drastic overhaul, it needn't go far to find supporting evidence.

On occasion, for instance, it takes two and even three days for post office news releases to travel by mail, at least from headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue to the National Press Building only two short blocks away. Then there was the case of employes in the Washington of fice of a firm headquartered in New York. Given reasonably good luck, these people receive their paychecks, in a first-class mail bundle, on Thursday. Fairly often the package doesn't arrive until Friday, and the complaining reverberates. But on this one recent occa.

sioa, anger gave way to sheer terror for some who had been caught walking the tight rope on their finances. Friday, and still no checks! A staffer was dis. patched to the post office to institute a search, but no sign of the bundle. Finally it showed up in the Saturday delivery, along with stacks of letters postmarked as much as a week earlier. It had been posted in New York on Wednesday.

Word went out by telephone, and employes who hadn't been to the office on a. weekend in years joined the dash downtown. One member of the staff acquired a length of rope, fashion ed a noose and draped it over the crossbar of the office news paper rack, then affixed the leg. end: "The Winton M. Blount Memorial Scaffold." The National Research Coun cil of Canada has distributed the first edition of a publication called "Scleiice Dimension." One of the articles therein is titled: "Voyages en Chemin de Fer Enfin Sans Clic-Clic." In true Canadian bilingual tra dition, the story is repeated in English under the title: "Clicke-ty Clack Removed From Rail Travel." ir -k The National Wildlife Federation apparently has decided to chuck the high-blown language and the bureaucratic euphemism.

-One of its news releases says: "The federal government's big promises to help finance mu nicipal waste treatment facilities did a lot to take the heat off the federal establishment but little to get the crud out of the nation's waters."

Great dream, bad reality. A trip of the type now being undertaken by President Nixon is something less than a fun excursion.

And this makes sense since he is not in the Pacific to pick up a tan; but for the serious business of determining whether he and President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam can come to any sort of agreement which might shorten or end the war in Southeast Asia. The large White House press party is based at the colorful beachfront Ilikai Hotel. It is more than a motel, but a complex of buildings and shops with hip-swinging hula dancers and seemingly automated musicians dotted around pools and palm trees. The reason the musicians seem more or less automated is that they play thesame music over and over again. It takes a purist of island music to determine quickly the difference between "Aloha" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song." The awe-struck tourists who gather beside the pools and broad walkways of the Ilikai have no idea in the depths of the hotel an enormous' press room with teletypes chattering away to far points of the world; dozens of telephones over which correspondents of many different nationalities are talking to their distant office via overseas cables; a long, green-felt-covered table from which American officials appear to give the lat-J est word on what is happening.

And what is happening? Not a great deal. Mostly second-guessing. The large contingent of reporters traveling with Nixon and assembled here from all over the world is engaging in a classic journalistic exercise trying to figure out what Ifixon and Thieu will talk about on a Midway island for a few hours on Sunday, June The unattractive fact is" no one not even Nixon or Thieu can tell for sure what will take place those few Sunday hours on Midway until the time actually passes and the two presidents talk with each other. In any event, a hundred or so reporters will spend Sunday evening in a windowless room, on beautiful, Waikiki Reach, hammering out what to the best of their understanding is what took place on Midway. With good luck, they will be able to make it to bed about 38 Stock Sizes Save $1.20 WIN Yd.
