Hippie Mailmen To Get Dear John Post Haste WASHINGTON (AP) The Post Office Department, concerned about its own image and the morale of its regular workers, is preparing a set of regulations designed to clean up its newly hired hippie help. Richard J. Murphy, assistant postmaster general in charge of personnel, said Tuesday he has received complaints from the public- especially in San Francisco-about letter carriers who wear "flamboyant and outlandish garbo-bear coats and beads and bells." He said that on a recent trip he made to San Francisco 1 he confirmed a number of unshaven, unkempt, shabbily dressed individuals are working both as letter carriers and clerks. "I was somewhat taken aback by some of the carriers that I saw walking down the main streets of the town," he said.

Murphy said the post office tries not to interfere with employes' private lives, but flamboyant and outlandish garb is not appropriate for a representative of the federal government while on duty. "I simply am not going to have it," he said. Murphy said regulations to be published soon will require neat, clean hair styles, possibly hairnets for exceptionally long hair, "and we ought to require decently pressed clothing and tainly shoes ought to be at all times for safety reasons. Many of these people has opentoed sandals or thin shoes which are not safe." Murphy said many of the hippies in San Francisco are temporary workers and have not worked long enough to receive the $125 annual uniform allow- Oil Exploration Proposal Killed RALEIGH (AP) The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Tuesday killed a proposal to lease 17,000 acres of land in Hyde County to a Texas man for oil plorations.

Two Banks In State Held Up Continued From 1A traveling the many bridges in the area. In the Moncure holdup, a red car, which the bank manager said the robber drove away from the bank, was found about 30 minutes later on Pea Ridge Road, some five miles from the bank. The car was reported stolen in Dunn.

Officers said the robber apparently switched to another car which had been seen parked in the area before the red vehicle abandoned. The second car was stolen in Sanford, officers said. Manager McDonald said the gunman appeared to weigh about 220 pounds and was about 6-foot-1 and in his mid 20s. It was the second robbery experience for teller Mrs. Ruby Ray, who was on duty during the November robbery.

She and McDonald were the only ones in the bank Tuesday when the gunman entered. McDonald was busy at his desk at the time and the intruder approached Mrs. Ray. He asked her to change a $100 bill, but instead of producing the large bill he flashed a revolver. Then he pushed her toward the vault, held out a pillowcase and told her to stuff the money into it.

While she was thus occupied, the unsuspecting McDonald, carrying $150 and some bonds, approached them. He said the gunman ordered him to "hold it," then told him to drop the money into the pillowcase and raise his hands. The man was in the bank about two minutes in all, McDonald said. James B. Duke of Durham was charged in the last Nov.

Durham's ONLY MEMBER OF ORDER OF THE GOLDEN RULE secretary George Christian said the government has received reports that Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher and his men are being properly treated "and the wounded are being given medical care." Four members of the Pueblo's crew were reported wounded, one critically, when North Korean patrol boats seized the vessel Jan.

22 and forced it into Wonsan harbor. How the men were hurt is not clear, but there has been speculation they may have been injured when Bucher set off explosive devices to destroy some of the Pueblo's electronic intelligence gathering gear. Christian declined to give the source of the information about how the crew is being treated, nor would he say how much credence the government places in the report. He indicated the information did not come from the International Committee of the Red Cross, which has been asked to look into the men's welfare. Christian said that thus far there have been no reports from the Red Cross.

Asked whether any new steps were discussed at the meeting between Johnson and Democratic congressional leaders, Christian said the entire situation was reviewed. "We remain hopeful that diplomatic efforts will succeed," Christian told reporters. He added that the safety of the crew is considered of "paramount concern." Christian said Johnson intends to keep in touch with the Republican leaders, Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois and Rep.

Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, and indicated the President probably would talk to them by telephone. Dirksen has criticized what he called the spirit of fear and timidity" which he said has marked efforts to recover the Pueblo and its crew. "We can't take this lying down," Dirksen said Monday. Christian said Monday that depicementordery U.S.

and military limited forces was under way in the Korean area, but there was no further talk of that Tuesday. -Congress- Continued From 1A appointment to the ABC board directorship. He said he considered himself a "conservative" on the issue of fiscal matters. He feels that problems which have arisen with antipoverty programs are not with the goals of the programs, which he said he supports, but with their administration in some places. He is a graduate of Wake Forest Law School and practiced privately before joining the attorney general's staff.

If Brady enters the race, he will be joining incumbent Nick Galifianakis and Durham business school president David Stith in the Democratic primary race. G. Fred Steele, a Durham insurance executive who was defeated by Galifianakis in the 1966 elections, is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination within the next two weeks.
