AIRLINES GET NO-SHOW Fee
MUST PAY BUMPED TRAVEL Frs

The airlines have been authorized to charge pas
senger up to $50 for not using his reservation but the
passenger who does and can't get seat put the bite
on the airline.
Answering the request Of II major carriers for some
action on the noshow air traveller the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board ruled that the alines collect penalty of
SIS or so per cenwhchever is larger but not exceed
$50-from the traveller holding reservation did not
use or cancel "a hours in advance
But the board went equalizing step further It
granted the right to collect $25 per cent
whichever is larger If he finds there is space the
flight for which he has ticket
What the board in effect is that if the arlneS
want relief from no-shows, they must accept penalties
for overlooking.
The ruling will be deferred for 20 days to permit
filing of comments or protests.

Jopon to Pay US,

TOKYO, Jan. 9 (AP). -Ja-
pans postwar debt to the
United States was settled today
for less than one-quarter of its
original cost.
Japan agreed to repay $500
million of the 1889, 100000 it
received from 1852 mostly
in relief supplies and economic
rehabilitation.
The agreement was signed by
United States Ambassador Ed
win o. Reischauer and Foreign
Minister Zentaro Kosaka after
months of negotiation. The is
sue had threatened to become
an explosive one, since the So
cialist opposition termed the
money Occupation costs" and
declared the United States had
no right to ask Japan to pay
the bill.
Under terms of the repay
ment, $25 million will be used
for educational and cultural
exchanges between the two
countries. The United States
plans to use most of the rest
for aid to underdeveloped coun.
tries in Asia, which would help
strengthen Japan's key markets

Kennedy Will Ask
Debt Ceiling Rise
Presidents
Budget Due
Next Week
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

An increase in the 1898 bill
lion national debt ceiling will
be necessary early in the new
session of Congress, President
Kennedy told Democratic con-
gressional leaders at the White
House today.
This disclosure was the high
light of President Kennedy's
second congressional briefing,
at which he went over the
major points in his legislative
program, and said he would
present his new budget January
ID and the economic report
January %.
Today's meeting dealt mainly
with the major bills and that

Ways and Means Committee
and the Senate Finance Com+
mittee. These include taxes.

social security and the new
foreign trade program.

These bills must all originate
in the House because they in

Although it has been gen.
orally anticipated a raise in
the debt limit would be re-
quired before June 80, when it
would otherwise drop to $685.
billion, there has been no adj
vance indication that action
would be required early in the
new session, which starts to-
morrow.
When Congress voted last
June for a one-year increase
to 1898 billion, Treasury Off
Gals estimated the Federal def
icit for the current fiscal year
would be $3.7 billion.
One congressional leader said
today this estimate is now up
close to 81 billion, and Senator
Harry F. Byrd, chairman of
the Finance Committee, has
predicted it will reach So bill
lion or $40 billion by June 80.
Prompt OK. Seen
1t was expected that the
congressional leaders will move
promptly to grant whatever
further increase is needed in
the debt limit to meet current
expenses.
Mr.. Kennedy's medical care
proposals are expected to face
the most obstacles in commit
tee because of the open opposi-
ton of Senator Byrd and indi-
cations that Ways and Means
Chairman Mills is unsympa-
thetic to the programs. Mr..
Mills was co-author of the VOL
untary Federal-State plan for
medical care for the needy en-
acted last year.
President Kennedy still was
not ready to give the leaders
today the details of his new
foreign trade programs, which
presumably will be outlined in
his state-of the Union message
to a joint session on Thursday.
Mr.. Mills and Senator Byrd
are understood to have rejected

to go to Representative Thomp-
son of Texas. He is opposed by
Representative Rogers of that
State, but is understood to have
the backing Of the White
House.
Democratic leaders decided
shortly before the scheduled
conference today to postpone
the Ways and Means Commit
tee membership elections and
await the outcome of a meeting
Of the Michigan delegation on
the contest between Mrs. Grit
fiths and Mr.. Dingell.

ing at his home at $3.50 am.
today. Police charged his

assault with a dangerous weap-
on-a .38-caliber revolver.
The shooting, police said,
occurred in a first-floor room.
At police headquarters, Mrs.
Portner was quoted as saying
the shooting followed a violent
argument during which her
husband hit her and kicked her
out of bed.
During the interrogation, &C
cording to Deceive Sergt. Lionel
Couture, Mrs. Portner told
them: "He was coming toward
me and shot him"
Victim Recalls Events
Mr.. Portner, from his hospital
bed, told a Star reporter what
he recalled of the shooting and
the events that preceded it.
Mr.. Portner said his wife
had fallen over a table last
night, damaging it. He said he
got a little angry" and went
downstairs to sleep on a divan
on the first floor Of the resi-
dence.
He said he awoke early this
morning with a pain in his
side, which he said was an
after-effect of a recent disc
operation. His wife was wan
dering around the house, he
added.
MIR. Portner said he went
to the kitchen for a bottle of
ginger beer, then sat down in
a chair.
"She came over to me with
the gun in her hand" he said.
The shooting followed, he
added.
Mr.. Portner said he was sur
prised. He said he slumped in
the chair, but picked up a tele-
phone next to the chair, called
the operator and reported that
he had been shot.
In Municipal Court, Mrs.
Portner appeared briefly before
Judge Thomas C. Scalley.
Tense and haggard, she was
dressed all in black-hat, dress,
coat, gloves, shoes and pocket
book.
Her attorney, F. Trow-
bridge vom Baur, asked for an
immediate hearing. Judge Seal

the area is blighted, from q

The planning commission told
