House Postal Group
May Back Rate Bill
With Big Changes
By Robert K. Welsh

House Post Off1ce Committee
members indicated today that
they might vote late this week
on reporting out the bill to raise
postal rates, but with substantial
changes in the increases sug-
gested by Postmaster General
Summerf1eld.
The committee, however,
showed no immediate signs of
ending hearings which started
July Is. It heard a long list of
opposition witnesses today and
scheduled further witnesses for
tomorrow.
The House, meanwhile, wran-
gled briefly over the prospect
that White House insistence on
a postal rate bill and other
must" legislation might keep
Congress in session beyond
July 81.
Long Session Feared.
Republican Floor Leader Hal
leck told the House he hoped and
believed that the rate increase
bill would come out of the COM
mittee. Representative Hays,
Democrat, of Ohio, declared that
IF you insist on trying to raise
postal rates now we will be in
session long enough to wish our
selves a Merry Christmas.
Representative Nicholson, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, urged
adjournment as soon as possible.
He noted that "the longer we
stay in session the more it is 60
ing to cost the taxpayers"
Any bill reported out by the
House Committee. some men,
bers said privately today. prob
ably would make changes in the
increases suggested by Mr.. Sum-
merfeld on second and third
class mail.
See AGENT Rate Retained.
One member said he believed
that If a bill is reported out at
al. it would retain the proposal
to Increase first class mail rates
from 8 to 4 cents because this
would bring in approximately
$3.50 million of the $240 million
sought by Mr.. Summerf1eld to
help cut down the departments
annual deficit.
Most of the witnesses today
represented associations of busi-
ness and educational groups
using, large amounts of third
class mail. William B. Hender-
son, managing director of the
Direct Mail Advertising ASSocia-
ton, said the proposed increases
needed much more study than
was possible under this hurried
approach"

Christie's Cat Also
Executed as Too
SAVAGE for Society
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July 21.-A cat be-
longing to John Christie, stran-
gler of women who was hanged
last Wednesday, was executed
today.
The reason given by the Royal
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals was that
Christie's cat was too mean to
live with any one.
After the arrest of Christie,
who said he killed seven women
and was convicted for the mur-
der of his wife, the big black
and-white cat roamed near
Christie's dingy fat. The society
finally caught it, but concluded
today 1t had turned savage and
was beyond rehabilitation.
I'VE waited until after Chris
ties execution, and today de-
cided reluctantly that his cat
would have to meet the same
fate" a society official said.
Many offered it a home. but it
was past being happy in human
