The Times said the report from the federal government reassured the British, who have been wor ried that their island might be wiped off the map if one of the Air Force's b o m b a r s should crash while carrying an atomic bomb. The Incident was explained away at the time as a routine crash in which the plane had been destroyed by fire, the Times add ed. Tha explanation given was that fire and shock cannot trigger the air borne atomic weapon in the condition in which it is normally transported. The arming technique that gets things ready is done with the plane in flight but only if that is the intent of the crew. Auto Insurance Rates cent of the insurance in Oregon.

A former assistant warden at the Sasebo naval base, Barbuti could have been sent to prison for nine years, lie was the loth guard from the Sasebo brig to be tried on charges ol mistreating prison' ers. Tha conviction of four other Sa sebo guards has been reversed by me navy s i-acuic command. Four more sentences are still un der review, and six Marines were acquitted. All were tried on lesser charges, however. 17 Other Counts Dropped Barbuti was convicted of nunrh. ing and slapping soldier inmates, stepping on a prisoner's bare feet in his boots and forcing a Marine prisoner to hold a heavy, water- filled bucket over his head. Seventeen other counts of cruel ty and two of assault were drop ped by the eight-man Navy-Ma rine general court-martial Satur day. They included scraning a bayonet across a man's chest and jamming a pencil up a man's nose. Barbuti denied them all. The 6-foot-l. 205-Dound Marine's defense pleaded in mitigation that ne was a strict disciplinarian, and recalled that his Marine basic training included the practice of hitting recruits.

He said by far the largest part of it, almost two thirds, is for defense against growing danger from Rus sia in "the dawning age of space conquest." The President disclosed that the government now expects to wind up in the red for the fiscal year ending June 30. He announced his intention to ask for a short-term increase he didn't say how much in the present 275-hillion- dollar limit on the national debt. Five-Cent Letter Postage Biggest Budget Surprise WASHINGTON ( The big gest surprise in history's biggest peacetime budget is a 5 cent stamp. President Eisenhower would have it replace 3-cent post age on inter-city letters. Eisenhower told Congress Mon day he is depending on, this and other increases in postal rates to put the federal government back into black ink in fiscal 1959. His budget message estimated the postage rate increases would add 700 million dollars to federal revenues in the year starting next July 1. Since the prospective surplus for that year is just 500 million dol lars, a refusal by Congress to ap prove the new rates would mean a 200 million dollar federal deficit. With most of the remainder of his domestic program publicized in advance. Eisenhower had been expected to renew hia request for postal increases along lines of those passed last year by tha House and now awaiting action in the Senate. Doasn't Eras All Deficit The bill calls for a 4-cent rate on all first class mail, local or inter-city, and higher rates for advertising matter, parcels, news- Daoers and magazines, it sun would leave a large deficit, and Eisenhower told Congress: ' The pending legislation should be amended, primarily by estab lishing a 5-cent letter rate on all except local letters. This is more than tht 4-cent rate I recommend ed last year for both local and other letters, but it is needed to take account of the (postal) pay increase and otner nigner costs. ". . . With the postal pay ad' juslmenta which are being recom mended fa 160 million dollar in crease), the postal deficit still will ba substantial. Gunshot Victim Said In 'Fair' Condition William Brister. 38, Winston, the victim of a gunshot wound in his chest alledgedly inflicted Friday by his wife. Norma Jean, 32, was reported in "fairly good" condi tion this morning by sources at Douglas Community Hospital. Brister reportedly rested well Sunday night. He was adminis tered three pints of blood by trans fusion from Red Cross donors. A Red Cross spokesman said two of the donors remained at the hospi- through Friday night to assrst Brister with blood donaUons. Meanwhile, uist. Ally. Avery Thompson said no complaint has been signed as yet in connection with the shooting. He said he has not yet been advised of complete details of the case, but added that a conference with state ponce. who are investigating the case, is slated for today. Alleged Spy For U. S. Handed 12-Year Rap BERLIN 11 A Communist East Germany court has sentenced Kurt Eckennoff, German hairdres ser, to 12 years imprisonment on charge of spying for the United States, th East German paper Neuer Tag reported Monday. last month.

Rrtail trade was below that of previous years, although many merchants reported last minute ( hr.stmaJ buying was somewhat kaMer U.'an.had been anticipated, si Of Budget But he voiced confidence busi- ness will pick up and tax receiDts will increase so that the new S73. 900,000,000 budget, for the 1958-59 liscal year, will be in balance. He said he expects a surplus of half a billion dollars or so mm. pared with the 400-million-dollar deficit now In sight for this year. One surprise in tha President's proposals for government spend ing and revenue - collecting: He called for a 5-cent postage rate on all out-of-town first-class let ters. Congress so far has rejected even his previous call for raising stamp prices from 3 to 4 cents for local and out-of-town letters alike. Mara For Pentagon lake the earlier message, to day's budget put heaviest empha sis on security matters with a $39,800,000,000 request for the armed forces alone. With this ex pected boost, almost two billion dollars higher than last January's estimate, Eisenhower asked - 1. A $3,800,000,000 a t e p u p in spending for missile and nuclear weapon research and production. This would give th Pentagon an extra $1,300,000,000 to spend as soon as the monev was innnmri. ii.us in oiiiions more than It now has on hand for i..a 2. A 500-millinn.flnllsr. 1 fund to rush development of any u.eanuirougns in the weapons field, together with authority to switch two billion dollars around within the armed services "in or der to take prompt advantage of new developments." 3. For foreign military and re lated aid, $3,868,000,000 to be sDent in the coming fiscal year. This is a 119-miuion-dullar increase nvpr the current figure. The proposal looks like one of the hottest issues uj come Deiore the new Congress. Cutbacks Also Asked All told, the . President' new budget calls for 1958-59 spending at more than a billion dollars over the current rate, even allowing for recent speedups in missile and other weapons programs. The cur rent spending nroffram nmninn nt $72,800,000,000 a year, is the high est in American iverpiima hit..-.. Eisenhower called for cutbacks as well as increases in the new budget. For the armed forces he recommended a l-billion-dollar slash in manpower, installations and blder-typo weapons, including B02 bombers and some other air craft. He proposed "curtailments, revisions or eliminations" of many nonmilitary programs, rang ing from federal payments to farmers to expenditures for war veteran services and benefits. Ne Tax Increases As the White Houu lor.,i earlier, no general tax increases are proposed. Eisenhower suggest ed, in fact, some tax mia in ,a small business, while recommend ing higher taxes on aviation fuels to redurt the cost to the govern ment of it activities in the air traffic field. Likewise, the Prei.lni lni,,j. ed in his message a previously an- P'n lor a lour - year, billion - dollar program aimed at helping states improve education 1 standards.

The Romanian radio said t h e new plane's turbo engines and rocket motors develop a thrust of more than 100,000 horsepower and give it a speed of seven to eight kilometers (4.3 to 5 miles) per second enough to turn the plane into an earth satellite at great heights. Jet-satellite's return to earth is to be achieved by "counter-action rockets," the radio announced. The broadcast did not say whether the craft would be manned. CONGRESSMAN DIES WASHINGTON I Rep.
