By the Associated Press

Once again the Eisenhower
administration has asked Con-
gress to raise postal rates to ease
a postal operating deficit now
running about $3.50 million a
year.
Its recommendations yester-
day did not go as far as had
been expected. Previously. ad-
ministration officials had indi-
Gated they would request a boost
from 3 to cents in the price
of a letter stamp.
However, Postmaster General
Summerfield called for a Accent
stamp, an increase of ! cent an
ounce in the first class mail rate.
The Post Office Department
also urged these other increases:
From 6 to 7 cents for airmail, 2
to 3 cents for post cards. 4 to 5
cents for air post cards.
The proposals also would mean
rate increases for second class
mail, newspapers and magazines;
third class mail. advertising

class mail.

Eisenhower Again Asks
For Postal Rate Boost

Imerheld urged Congress to act
quickly.
Last year, the House approved
a 1-cent increase in first class
mail rates, but the Senate took
no action.
Mr.. Summerfield said yester-
day the proposed increases would
produce additional revenues of
about $527.5 million annually by
1861.
He said first class and fourth
class mail (parcel post would
pay their own way. AS for the
other classes of mail. Mr.. Sum-
merfield said the public service
factor should be taken into &C
count.
HIS asked Congress to establish
a policy that the postal service
should be operated in a business
like manner but not as a COM
mercial enterprise conducted for
profit"
President Eisenhower urged
Congress last year. and again
this year. to raise postal rates
and put the service on a pay
as-you-go" basis.
The department asked for sub
stantially the same increases last
year.

Aide 10 Potter
Defends Silence

An aide of Senator Potter,
Republican of Michigan. said to- {.
day he did not reply to letter
from Michigan State police con-
corning its investigation of
poison pen" literature in Michi-
gan's 1856 political campaign
because the letter called for no
reply.
Michigan Attorney General
Thomas M. Kavanagh. a Demo-
crat. wrote Senator Potter yes
terday and asked him to make
available TO State police some
mailing lists used in the Novem-
Der election. Mr.. Kavanagh said
State police had asked the Sen
ator's top aide. Raymond c..
Anderson for a statement in
connection with the investiga-
ton. but had received no re-
spouse.
Senator Potter said today he
will have no comment until he
receives the letter.
Denies Statement Asked
Mr.. Anderson said he received
a letter last fall from a state
police sergeant" II asked. he
said. for me. at such time as
I was in Michigan. to stop by
the attorney generals Office to
discuss my presence last fall in
the Penobscot Building in De-
troit"
Mr.. Anderson said the Repub-
lican State committees Office is
in the building and that he was
lin and out" of the Office during
the fall campaign.
Il intended to call at the at
torney generals Office the next
time I was in Michigan. as the
letter asked. but / have not been
there since receiving the letter"
he said.
Mr.. Kavanagh, in his letter to
Senator Potter. referred to-
poison pen" letters mailed a
few days before the November 6
election. purportedly by a "coun-
Gil Of white citizens" Addressed
to persons in Negro and mixed
Negro-white neighborhoods in
Detroit. they advised some 5000
recipients to vote Democratic
because Democrats keep the
colored in their place" Investi-
CATION established that the coun-
Gil was nonexistent. The letters
had been taken to Atlanta. Ga.
from Detroit and mailed back to
Detroit, Mr.. Kavanagh said.
Campaign Aide Indicted
A Federal grand jury has in
dicted John McAlpine, Al. of
Pleasant Ridge. Mich. on two
counts Of violating Federal law
against publication or distribu-
ton of anonymous political lit
erature. McAlpine was described
as an unpaid worker for Min
ute Men for Eisenhower" which
Senator Potter helped organize
In 1856.
Mr.. Anderson said neither he
nor the Senator knew anything
about the letters.

Worker Training
Plan Is Backed

The administration today gave
its strong support to legislation
that would provide outside train
ing for Federal employees.
Budget Director Percival
Brundage and Acting Civil Serv-
ice Commission Chairman Fred
Lawton told the Senate Civil
Service Committee such outside
training authority is urgently
needed.
The measure is sponsored by
Chairman Johnston of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee.
The estimated cost of the bill
would be between 100000 and
5000, 900 a year. but would be
absorbed by agencies out of their
personnel costs and other appro-
priations.
Mr.. Brundage told the COM
mittee: My experience in
Government and in business has
indicated that in many in
stances some specialized off-the-
job training of selected individu-
ais is essential to economical
and effective utilization of their
services by their employers.
Some of this training the
Government-broad though its
programs may be-cannot sup
ply for itself"
The budget director added:
The relatively small cost Of
outside training would be
returned to the Government
several times over"
Mr.. Lawton told the commit
tee that the proposed law
would give the President a
management tool comparable to
that available to heads of pri-
vate business concerns and es-
sential to efficient operation Of
any large organization"

ruling, winch mas Deen the
courts last word on the question,
only four remain. These four
divided, 90. on the issue.
Justice Black. now the courts
senior member, wrote the major
ity opinion. Chief Justice Vim
son and Justices Reed. Douglas
and Murphy concurred. Of these
only Mr.. Douglas still sits on the
court.
OF the four dissenters, Justices
Rutledge and jackson are dead.
Justices Frankfurter and Burton.
the other dissenters, remain on
the court.
Major Interpretation
The 5-4 decision was a major
Interpretation of the first Amend
ment to the Constitution. which
says: Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment
of religion. or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof. :"
The issue then before the
court was on the complaint of
Arch r. Everson OF Ewing
with it To the Supreme Court, .
against the use Of tax money to
reimburse parents Of students in
Catholic schools for the chill
Idren's bus fare Of 20 to % cents
daily on the same basis as if they
were going to public schools. The
New Jersey Court Of Errors and
Appeals had turned down Mr.
Everson's plea that the payment
violated the principle Of separa-
ton of church and State.
Justice Black. for the majority
took the position the New Jersey
law authorizing such payments
was basically social legislation
for the benefit of the pupils and
their families. with benefits to
the church only incidental. He
argued that no person may be
denied the benefits of such a
law by reason Of his religion.
Speaking for the minority.
Justice Rutledge hinged his
opinion directly on the idea OF
taxation for the support of
beliefs to which the taxpayer is
opposed.

Amendment, he said, was "to
create a complete and permanent
separation of the spheres Of re-
ligious activity and the civil au-
thority by comprehensively for
bidding every form Of public aid

Origin of New Case
The new case was started when
the board Of aldermen and COM
mon council met in Augusta
Wednesday night and voted a
token appropriation OF Sl0O for
initiation of bus service for pu-
pills in Catholic schools.
The action was taken after
parents of Catholic children said
they would send their children
to public schools If those living
IL miles or more away were not
provided bus service similar to
that furnished public school pu-
pills. Spokesman for several
Protestant denominations and
organizations opposed the bus
service idea.
The school superintendent
salo an influx Of new students
in the public schools would
create an emergency" After
the aldermen-council meeting,
Mayor II. Lloyd Carey said he
would appeal to parents Of 697
Catholic school pupils newly en-
rolled in the public school sys-
TEN TO withdraw them.
Mr.. Carey said he Endorsed the
suggestion that the token APP
preparation was passed with the
express purpose of making it a
test case and that opponents
and proponents go hand in hand
with it to the Sureme Court"
The Roman Catholic Church
has taken no stand on the mat

To speed up the court test. Mr..
Carey said he would appoint a
committee of citizens to sign
a bill of equity to bypass the
lower court and go directly to
the Maine Supreme Court for a
ruling. From there the case
could be carried to the United
States Supreme Court.
