President
Seen Cool
To Rutes
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star star Writer

Top administration officials
indicate that the 10 per cent
postal employe pay raise bill
approved by House Senate
conferees is heading for a
presidential veto.
The conferees meet again
today to complete work on the
postal rate and pay increase
measure. The measure sub
stitutes a straight 4-cent first
class mail rate for the admin
istration's proposal of scent
Iout-of-town letters and accent
rate on other letters.
Agreement on the Accent rate
included a compromise on air
mail rates. House conferees
agreed to go along with a SEN
ate proposal for an Scent air
mail stamp. Earlier, the House
had approved a 7-cent air mail
rate-l cent higher than the
present rate.
Jolt to Administration
The action on Capitol Hill
yesterday was a defeat for Pres.
ident Eisenhower and Postmas-
ter General Summerfield. The
administration has been trying
since 1858 for higher postal
rates to cut down the annual
Post Once Department deficit.
An administration official
who is close to the White House
on the salary situation and who
had a hand in the drafting of
the three previous pay raise
vetoes by Mr.. Eisenhower in
recent years, declared:
The bill is heading for A
Dig lat veto. 1t seems to me
that some of the conferees on
the postal pay-rate bill de-
iioerately voted the way thew
did to invite a veto in order
to kill postal rate increases this
year. They care more for the
magazine publishers and the
large mailers than they do for
the welfare of postal workers"
I win be the most surprised
guy in Washington If the bill
is signed into law"
Rejection Seen Likely
Senator Carlson, Republican
OF Kansas. the ranking minority
member of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, said:
I don't see how President
Eisenhower could possibly sign
this bill"
Senator Carlson is one of the
'conferees on the postal paw
rate legislation. but did not
concur with the majority ac-
ton.
A presidential veto of the
postal pay legislation would
delay classified employee salary
raises that much longer. Con.
gresS won't take final action on
classified pay until the postal
pay issue is settled.
Retroactive to January
House-Senate conferees CO
the postal pay-rate bill yester-
day agreed to a rs per cent
permanent raise for all postal
workers, plus a 2.5 per cent
temporary raise for three years
for those in the first six levels
Including all clerks and carri-
ers). An additional temporary
raise of is per cent was in
cluded for those in level 7.
Above level 7 land this includes
the top supervisors, executives,
etc.,, no temporary increase
would be given. Only the per-
manent rs per cent would be
authorized.
The increases would be ret
roactive to January /, 1858.
The conferees also approved
the Accent first class mail rate.

Judge Holds
Carpenter
In Contempt
BY JERRY OIEARY, Jr.
star stan Writer

Federal Judge Albert v.
Bryan today cited Russell
Wayne Carpenter for criminal
contempt for refusing. on adj
wise Of his counsel. TO answer
questions at his kidnapping trial
about the fatal shootings in
the Jo-Del Restaurant OF
which he also is accused.
The 22-year-old defendant
invoked the Fifth Amendment
upon advice OF his lawyer,
James J, Laughlin, in the sew
enth day Of his trial in Alex
andria Federal Court.
The issue was joined when
Assistant United States At
torney A. Andrew Giangreco
propounded this question to the
husky defendant:
"On December IS, did you
and Henry Clay Overton 20 tc
the Jo-Del bar and did you
have q seat or sit at the bar?'
Instructed by Counsel
Defense Attorney James J
Laughlin strobe across the
courtroom and told Judge
Bryan. Il am instructing my
client to refuse to answer be-
cause it might incriminate him
and because there are matters
pending in District Court in
Washington which will be han
died by Mr.. Smithson."
He referred to the double
murder indictment against Car
penter In Washington, where
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Frederick @. Smithson Is
normally assigned.
Carpenter then said softly:
Il refuse to answer on grounds
1t might tend to sincriminate
me-"
1t was arranged by the Judge
that Mr.. Giangreco would then
continue to question the de-
fendant about the Ninth street
shooting. but instructed Car
penter to delay his reply until
Mr.. Laughlin could interpose
his statement in abbreviated
form each time.
Is Queries Posed
Mr.. Giangreco then asked l6
more questions about the Jo-Del
shootings and each time Mr.
Laughlin repeated his advice
and Carpenter refused to an
swer.
Mr.. Laughlin then asked
Judge Bryan to declare a mis-
trial because he said the ques-
tons were prejudicial to the de-
PENDANT.
1T is the courts ruling that
each question is proper and
legitimate and should be an
swered," Judge Bryan declared
Il advise the witness that he
should respectfully refuse to
answer because the answers
would tend to incriminate
him, Mr.. Laughlin said.
The defense counsel told
Judge Bryan they felt he was
in error in requiring Carpenter
to reply. Judge Bryan there
upon cited Carpenter for GRIM
