Asbury Park Press, Sun. April 9, 1978 A17 Saturday Mail Delivery Will Continue This Year will be negotiations a new labor agreement with the four postal unions. SINCE LABOR costs account for about 85 percent of all Postal Service costs, the expenses built into the new contract will be the major factor in how fast postal rates will have to rise, Bolger said. More local news Press WASHINGTON (AP) Saturday mail delivery will continue at least until next year, the nation's new postmaster general says. William F.

Bolger said in an interview: "With the priority of labor negotiations and other things that are pressing at the moment, we are not giving the question (of reducing deliveries) a high priority in 1978." Asked whether this was a hint that the "What we're trying to do is determine what the American public wants from postal service as long as people realize they have to pay for it. If the public knows just what it costs and is willing to pay it, then we should provide the service," he said. Bolger faces several other pressing issues as he replaces Bailar, who resigned to reenter private industry. He said "our highest priority this year" Postal Service would not seek to reduce deliveries this year, Bolger replied, "I'm not hinting it. I'm saying it." THE POSTAL Service has eyed the elimination of Saturday deliveries for several years as a potential economy measure.

A federal study commission last year estimated the cutback could save $412 million per year. However, the Postal Service has taken no steps toward cutting deliveries and the House has sent out a strong message of congressional opposition: a 371-6 vote on legislation designed to forbid the end of Saturday mail. The cost-cutting ideas have been prompted by the mail service's chronic deficits: $1.2 billion in fiscal year 1976 and $688 million in 1977. ASKED IF there was any prospect of eliminating deficits during his tenure, Bolger said, "Nothing in the law requires us to break even without any subsidies. That is a goal but not a mandate.

We are aiming to be as fiscally responsible as we can be." He said, as his predecessor Benjamin Bailar frequently did, that the Postal Service is willing to provide any service that the American people want and is willing to pay for. HW Expert Believes EVERY Ml ASA FINE CHINA Reds Planning Space Colonies SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) Embarrassed by STONEWARE PATTERN 20 TO 50 OFF American moon successes, the Soviet Union is concentrating on becoming the first nation to establish permanent space colonies, says an expert on the Russian space program. "Space craft will orbit the earth with men and women working there for long periods of time such that many of it' tiiem consider themselves permanent residents with no intentions of coming back to earth," said James Oberg. "They will raise their children there. For the most part it will be a closed system.

They'll grow their own food and make their own oxygen. I see that happening within 15 years. He said the United States might make a decision in three or four years, after the space shuttle program is operating, to build space outposts, too.

"Look at these giant apartment buildings we have now where people live and work in the same building. It's an artificial environment and you few mm raise ramilies there. It would be little different in space." As for children in space, Oberg said, "Pioneers in Ameri ca brought their children with them and faced far more hard sirt ships than the people in space will." Oberg is a lecturer for the American Institute of Aero At-.

sr nautics and Astronautics and a computer specialist at the 4 Johnson Space Center. He is regarded by colleagues as an expert on the Russian space program. 1 V) l' 3P "ir Fte t- However, he emphasized that his remarks on the Russians are strictly his own and based on his personal inter est and study of their space effort. OBERG SAID the Russians were stunned by losing the race to the moon. Rather than admit they had lost, they i scraped their moon program and embarked instead on an all- out space colonization effort.

FISH SHELL It paid off this year with a historic linkup in space of three Soviet spacecraft, he said. "The technological importance of that linkup, and the things they'll do the rest of this year, will establish the idea of space colonies, just as the moon landing established the idea of people exploring other planets," Oberg said. "I would suspect within a year or two the Russians will begin the token industrial utilization of space-manufactured material," said Oberg. "They could make computer chips and that could be a way for the Russians to leapfrog the U.S. lead in computer technology.

"Whatever it is, when they do it, this year or next, it will ow be a significant milestone in space." The Russians apparently feel the next industrial revolu tion will take place in space and they intend to capitalize on to: it, said Oberg.
