United Press International WASHINGTON — For the first time since airmail was introduced in 1918, a major new type of postal service — express mail — will offi cially start Sunday. Express mail will provide guaran teed same-day or next-daV delivery depending on whether the sender takes the mail to a post office or an airport. Pickup and delivery is also offered at extra cost. Parcels can weigh up to 70 pounds. The expedited mail service, avail able in most big-city areas, will cost extra. But the U.S. Postal Service will refund the postage if a delivery is late — except for delays caused by strikes or flight cancellations. In tryouts under way since 1970, 95 percent of all shipments were de livered on time and over 99 percent were delivered within 24 hours, the U.S. Postal Service said. The opera tion, now covering 400 cities, is being expanded to 900 cities. Next-day service means express mail taken to a post office by 5 p.m. will be arrive at the destination post office by 10 a.m. the next day. It will be delivered to the addressee by 3 p.m. at extra cost. For same-day service, the sender takes the mail to an airport, where it Maneuvers pit bulldogs vs, bulldogs Bulldogs, Marine Corps officer candidates from Texas A6cM Uni versity met Marine reservists from San Antonio recently in San An tonio. - Maj.

The companies were broken down into individual recon teams and, after dark, the two Units were pitted against each other to obtain information The primary mission for the teams was to git the r information on the size of the enemy force, the type of weapons employed, and other basic data needed by their iritelli- gence sections. Recoin units only engage the enemy with fire and ma neuver as a last resort. Intelligence takes the “evidence” and assesses the best avenues of at tack, the size of attacking unit needed to seize a postilion, arid how the unit should be equipped. Texas A&M cadets regularly cooperate with reserve arid active military units for realistic training. will be placed on the next available flight.
