' If a postmaster's salary is published, ''people m the town who make less money are bound to be resentful, a spokesman for postmasters says. ,,r The public relations department of the mail agency, sending out news releases and letters to the editor, is disclosing informa-- tion a I tout area post offices, including the pay of the local postmaster. As an example, a letter by Postal Service sxkcsman D Jamison Cain, published in the Beckley, W. Va . and Register, informed readers that the Coal City, W. Va., postmaster earns $19,044 in salary and benefits. Frank Mikloek, executive director of the National Association of Postmasters, charged Tuesday the Postal Service policy is designed to create resentment against postmasters. He said the move is part of a campaign to eliminate many postmaster jobs. Post-Heral- d But Cam said the public relations olloft is an attempt to show how important the Postal Service is to the local economy. Another Postal Service source expressed surprise that the postmaster association is com plaining about public pay disclosure, lie said the organization is suing the government over some raises that were withheld would think that they would be glad to the have their salaries made known, source said Although the Postal Services top 18 executives received pay raises last month, no pi ess releases were issued, Cain said, because all 18 are staying in their present jobs. The agency 's top executive, Postmaster General Benjamin F. Bailor, now receives $i;ii, 000, the same as a Cabinet official Fuluie executive pay hikes will be made public, Cain said. Mrikloek also charged that the Postal Service, in publicizing postmasters' salaries, is "laying the groundwork for closing post offices. 1 The Postal Service for years has eyed the potential savings in closing moneylosing rural post offices. A recent internal study said dosing 17,000 of the .70,000 post oltices would save M'0 million a year. Postal officials say that no such widespread dosings are planned Mikloek said letters to the editor have been sent to the hometown papers of two postmasters who were critical of the Postal .Service in testimony last winter to a federal study commission that was considering possible changes in the mail agency. Miklozek called this oblique harass meat ol individuals who testified " Cain said letters were sent to the hometown papers of all Postal Service employes who testified to the commission, ini lading those whose testimony favorable to tin agency.

Klaus Brunnemann and Dietrich Hoffmann of the Naylor Dana Institute for Disease Prevention in Valhalla, N.Y., used measuring instruments to detect the pres-enc- e of diethylnit-rosamin- e (DMN), w'hich can cause cancer in test animals. The customer m the bar at the time of our anaylsis would have inhaled the same amount of the carcinogenic DMN in one hour as a smoker who inhales nine to 16 nonfilter cigarettes or 17 to 35 lilter cigarettes," the scientists said. They added, however, that inhaling smoky air is not the same as smoking. A smoker takes a large quantity of smoke into the lungs, while a nonsmoker breathes through the nasal passage, which is capable of filtering out many components. Dr. Ernst Wynder, head of the institutes parent organization, the American Health Foundation, said the findings point up the need for special studies of workers constantly exposed to smoke-fille- atmos- d Home and Car Stereos financing pheres.
