Mail Rate Rise
Veto Seen If Senate
Ties Puy to Bill

Leaders Of both parties pre-
dicted House passage today of
a bill to raise mailing costs,
but a fight was in prospect over
a Accent letter stamp.
Both Representatives McCor-
mack. Democrat of MasSachu-
sets, and Martin. Republican
Of Massachusetts,. the majority
and minority leaders reSpec-
lively. told newsmen they ex-
pect the House to approve the
postal rate increases asked by
President Eisenhower to help
Offset a postal operating deficit.
Mr.. Martin specifically said
he expects approval Of a raise
from 3 to 4 cents for mailing
q letter. This is the bills prin-
cipal money-raising feature.
Senate Action Awaited
The House has voted pay in
creases for postal and other
Government workers. The Sem
has not yet acted.
Mr.. Eisenhower has opposed
any general pay increase tor
Government employees as po-
tentially inflationary.
The rate bill would raise i'm
mediately the rates on first
class letters and air mail, and
provide graduated increases on
second class newspapers and
magazines and third class
advertising natter mailing
costs.
] A group of Congressman have
protested that first class mail
pays its way and it's unfair to
tax its users to pay tor che
other classes.
The department estimated
the f1rSt class increases would
bring in 1868 million in addi-
tional revenue. They include
raising first class letters from
3 to cents an ounce, air mail
letters from 6 to Z cents an
ounce, air mail cards from 4
to 5 cents. and post cards and
drop letters from 2 to 3 cents.
A drop letter is one mailed in
a post Office for delivery to a
box in that Office.
Other proposed increases
are:
-Four successive annual Is per
cent raises on second class
mail-an additional $33 million
On third class mail, a raise
from 2 to 3 cents for the first
2 ounces per piece and from
"a to 2 cents this year and to
2l2 cents by July /. 1859, on
the bulk minimum rate-an
additional 1928 million.

Anthony Doria, who was
secretary-treasurer Of the Allied
Industrial Workers Union until

with Wisconsin State income

Wilson Appoints Group
To Select Best Missile

Mr.. Wilson ruled last year
that parallel development Of
the two missiles was to continue
until late this fall when they
would be evaluated and one or
the other selected for final pro-
duction, for use by the Air
Force.
In that ruling he said the
Army should not plan to oper-
ate anything beyond the 200
mile Redstone missile now COM
ing into service.
Caused Resentment
The decision taking the Army
out of the long-range missile
field caused resentment in that
service. One of the aftermaths
was the court-martial convic-
ton of Col. John c. Nickerson
OF the RedStone arsenal on
charges Of leaking secret papers
to unauthorized persons.
The Navy is not directly af-
fected by the controversy since
its requirements for ship-based
missiles differ technically from
those land-based.
Despite Mr.. Wilson's ruling
that the Air Force would oper-
ate beyond the 200-mile range
the Army seems to be in a
rather good position in the in
termediate field.
The Army's Jupiter has been
launched successfully several
times and 1t his flown more
than 1900 miles. Thor, on the
other hand, has had several
abortive launchines and one
very short fight interrupted by
q malfunction.

Hearing Gronted

Federal Judge Edward A.
Tamm today decreed a full
scale hearing into charges
made by United States Park
Police Sergt. John M. Gyakum
that he was unfairly passed
over for promotion to a lieu
tenancy.
The Judge rejected motion
by Assistant United States At

Government. Judge Tamm held
that there we're questions of
fact in the case which could
only be determined through the
taking Of testimony at a trial.

the trial be held at an early

Refuse 10 Yield
On Burke Site
BeoII, Butler Urge
Use Of Friendship
To Ease Traffic
BY DON S. WARREN

Bitter arguments over the
proposed revival of the Burke
Airport project in Fairfax
County were resumed today at
an open hearing before the full
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee.
Virginia Senators Byrd and
Robertson, Democrats. joined
with Republican Senators But
Ter and Beall of Maryland in
taking an adamant stand
against building Washington's
second airport at Burke. The
Maryland Senators accused The
commercial airlines of refusing
to make a real trial of the use
of Friendship International
Airport near Baltimore.
The issue apparently will be
settled within a few days. Com
mittee Chairman Hayden said
the pending supplemental APP
preparations bill is to be sent
to the Senate before the end
of this week.
Included in that bill is an
item of $12.5 million to begin
the Burke project. This was
approved by the House despite
a determined fight by Repre-
sentative Broyhill, Republican
of Virginia. and others.
President Backs Project
President Eisenhower recently
sent to Congress a request for
$35 million to go ahead with
the project, started in 1851
The House Appropriations Com
mittee cut this back to S12.5
million because the present law
authorizes expenditure of only
Sl4 million. About 81 million
has been spent for preliminary
work and purchase of a por-
ton of the site.
Senator Beall said over the
last six years advocates of the
Burke project have disregarded
the fact that the cost would be
two or three times as much as
the initial request.
He called it a "boondoggle I"

Moves to Speed
Rights Bill Fail
Fate Placed
Upto12-Mon
Rules Group
By J. A. O'LEARY

Two attempts to get action
on the controversial civil rights
bill by unanimous consent we're
blocked in the House today
This throws the fate of the
bill into the hands of the H.
man Rules Committee, headed
by Representative Smith, Dem
ocrat of Virginia.
Speaker Rayburn announced
he will ask the committee to
meet this week to consider a
special rule to get the civil
rights bill before the House for
a decision.
The first move on the floor
was a request by Republican
Representative Heating of New
York to disagree to the Senate
amendments. including trial by
jury in criminal contempt cases,
and ask for a conference with
the Senate.
Request Rejected
Representative Walter, DEM
ocrat of Pennsylvania. and sew
eral Southern Democrats were
on their feet, objecting. One
objection was sufficient to de-
feat the motion.
Democratic Representative
Celler of New York then sub
mitted the proposal of the
Democratic leaders that the
House accept the Senate bill
with one amendment. Before
he could explain the compro-
mise amendment he has in
mind, Representative Heating
objected to the Democratic
move.
Mr.. Heating then asked if he
could be recognized to make a
motion to send the bill to the
Rules Committee. The Speaker
informed him that is not
necessary. because any member
may ask the Rules Committee
to meet on the subject.
1t is probable that in the
Rules Committee Mr.. Rayburn
will have to pick up at least
one of the four Republicans
to get a rule that would enable
the House to take up the Sem
ate bill, instead of sending it
to conference. Although there
are eight Democrats on the
l2-man committee. four of
them are Seutherners.
17-Day Delay Possible
/ Parliamentarians said there
could be a delay of II days
before the House could taxe
up the bill if all of the de-
laying procedures available to
the Rules Committee are used.
The chairman of the Rules
Committee is allowed seven
days to call a meeting after it
is requested. He then has
three days in which to file a
rule after it is approved in
committee. He then has seven
legislative days in which to
take up the rule in the House.
Before the House met today
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland and House Repub-
lican Leader Martin both threw
cold water on suggestions that
the Republicans accept the
Senate civil rights bill in re-
turn for the full amount Of
the Presidents request for for
eign aid.

There never was an audit

There probably was no more
