Ralph W. Nicholson, assistant postmaster general-designate for finance, said Thursday the re quest for the across-the-board in crease would be made soon, aimed at bringing in an addition al S8.11 million a year. Nicholson said the increased rate for letters, postcards and airmail would bring in an esti mated $430 million, while the oth er boosts would bring in another $401 million. He presented the plan to the Senate Appropriations Committee Thursday. Lindsley H. Noble, deputy as sistant postmaster general, said the post office deficit for. the 19ti2 fiscal year, starting July 1, now is estimated at $831 million just the amount of the proposed in creases. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower had asked for similar rate increases. Noble said the department fig ures $344 million of the antici pated deficit is accounted for by second-class mail, magazines and newspapers; $251 million by third class mail, largely advertising circulars; and $113 million by fourth-class mail, parcel post. Sen. A. Willis Robertson, D-Va., asked what percentage of the loss on second-class mail is attribut able to newspapers. Noble said about one-fourth is due to daily newspapers, and about one-third counting all news papers. Californians Eye Hatfield For Ticket SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Dieeo Union, aiiotine an unnamed Oregon political source, says Cali fornia GOP leaders may iook favorably on Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon if Richard M. Nixon decides not to run again for the presidency in 1964. The Union reported that Hat field was visited last week by 0. Harvev Mvdland. president of the California Republican Assembly, and Jud Leetham, chairman of the Los Angeles County KepuDli can Central Committee. Hatfield was quoted as saying the meeting was off the record but that party programs for 1962 and 1964 were discussed. He said his own plans were to run for a sec ond four-year term next year. The Union said the young gov ernor may be sought to prevent a split among Cahtornia Kepunn cans in case Nixon does not seek the presidency in 1964. Such a breach presumably could develop hetween supporters of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Hatfield nominated Nixon at the I960 Republican convention and since has been mentioned as a pos sible running mate for Rockefeller in the next, presidential race.

The source, whose identity can not be disclosed, said the United States is sending more rifles and ammunition than previously, as well as more shoes, uniforms, rice and petroleum products. The exact amounts of the in crease are not available. But the source said no new or unusual types of weapons are being sup plied. Staff Doubled The stalt of U. S. military men in civilian clothing training the royal Laotian army also has been doubled, from 100 men previously to about 200 now. Earlier this week sources in Washington indicated the U. S. government was considering pour ing mors military aid into Laos. But the Kennedy administration was reported reluctant to do this for fear it would be drawn into a sustained buildup of both sides that could develop into a Korea like situation. But sources in Vientiane report that U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson, at his meeting with Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Si beria last week, told Khrushchev if the Soviets choose to keep the Laotian crisis alive rather than help to resolve it peacefully, the United Stales is ready to ship three guns to the royal govern ment for every two the Soviets airlift to the pro-Communist rebel New Telephone s Company Set SEATTLE (AP) A new com pany, Pacific Northwest Bell Tele phone, has been set up to serve a million and a half subscribers in Washington, Oregon and part of Idaho.

If tins law applied lo the Georgia Pacific Corp., pipeline, it could also apply to the Newport sewer line that runs out to sea, the board was told. A Georgia Pacific spokesman said the matter is being re searched by the firm's legal de partment and "the company will certainly do everything needed to comply with this new law.

The United Nations announced Thursday that 23 of the mission aries were Americans but said later their nationality was not clear. U.N. officials in Kindu have been asked to clear up the con fusion. The missionaries were held by troop soldiers loyal to the leftist government of Anloine Gizenga in Stanleyvillei They were reported held under house arrest and to have been without food. The missionaries brought with them alarming stories that a fa natic pert, .of about 1()0 pagans whose aim !s to "kill all whites" is on the rampage in the Kasongo area. U.N. sources said an American mission group that arrived earlier in Kindu has indicated that it is ready to go back to its mission station at Kama, in Kivu Prov ince.

Mundt, R-S.D., charged today that workers at Cape Canaveral and other missile bases have been gouging the government to the tune of millions of dollars with wildcat strikes, slowdowns and SJ.OOO a week wages. jMuihIi, senior Republican mem ber of the Senate Investigations subcommittee, called for early public hearings to explore and ex pose tho conditions lie said staff investigators have uncovered. Chairman John L. AlcClellan, D Ark., has voiced somewhat simi lar charges in less detail, and also has indicated there will be public hearings soon. In. Florida, Mundt said, slow downs and wildcat strikes were used as a device to force the pay ment that resulted in "fantastic wage rales as high as $1,000 a week to union craftsmen and from SK) lo $800 weekly for other con struction workers." He said staff investigators found instances in California where elec tricians received up to $11 an hour and $700 a week, counting over time. The evidence, he said, points to aciineraie slowdowns, wildcat strikes and abuses which are in flating the missile program's cost and threatening to slow its prog ress. 13 Escape Injury In Aerial Collision POMPANO BEACH.

With John Kennedy In White House Glorious Is The Word Of Sons Of Erin By IRISH DONNELLY NEW YORK (AP) The Irish, along with many other friendly wearers of the green, marched along Fifth Avenue in sunny 26- degree weather today in the an nual St. Patrick s Day parade. The sponsors call it the world's biggest parade, taking six hours or nitre to pass a given point. Thousands of persons were m?.ied along the sidewalks of the fashionable avenue to cheer the procession. The annual celebration in honor of Ireland's patron saint set Gael ic hearts singing. Adding a heady ingredient was the fact they're in command at the White House. And that's no blarney, for isn't resident John titzgerald Kenne dy one of their very own? So the wearers of Ihe green were in a strutting mood as 60 battalions of inarching groups 120,000 strong were lining up 16 abreast for the 2.5-mile, 6-hour parade up Fifth Avenue. Mental Hearing Asked Fcr Steve Sheriff Ira C. Byrd late Thurs day afternoon filed a petition for a mental hearing for Steve Solo- vich, the 56-year-old North Ump qua wildman who was captured Tuesday after months of searching for him. The petition was filed in Douir. las County Circuit Court, and any criminal action pending against aolovich will be delayed until aft er a decision by the court. The Douglas County Health De partment will make an investiga tion to secure background on the case, and then a board of exam iners, made up of a circuit judge and two doctors, will conduct the hearing and make a decision on the sanity of Solovich, if all goet as Byrd hopes. Status Eytd Byrd said this will also give him time to check on Solovich's alien status with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. A Port land representative of the service has already said he has no record of Solovich as an alien, but Byrd will request a more thorough check and determine the possibili ties of having Solovich deported. The grizzled wildmsn said after his arrest he would like lo he de ported to his homeland of Yugo slavia 1 :... M.. I . L. - in the last sx years. . Byrd said Solovich' physical condition is the best he has ever seen it. He also reports his pe riods of rationality are more fre quent and extended. Raturn Slattd The sheriff expected to tike solovich hack up into the isorth Umpqua woods today to be shown the rustic camps set up by solo vich in his latest year of freedom. But blusterv weather caused d lay. probably until the first of the week. Solovich is being held in jail tin der $1,000 hail on a technical charge of burglary for allegedly stealing a gun from a Glide resid ence.

Four persons lost their lives in an automobile-truck crash. Two were believed drowning: vic tims. The automobile deaths raised the numlier to 17 from car wrecks so far this year, half the total for all of 1960 and three more than in the entire year of 1958. The apparent drownings represented the sixth death from non-vehicle violent circumstances so far this year, and that the over-all toll from accidents and other' haz ardous deaths appears to be 21!. Lack of confirmation of the drownings causes the un certainty in that regard. In the car accident a young mother, her two children and their grandmother were killed in a grind ing crash with a truck near Win chester early Thursday night. Six-year-old Kathleen Sue Spring, her 4-year-old sister Laurecn Kay and their mother and grandmother were killed instantly when their I car was ground beneath the wheels til a aniii-u aiivi ine vai nita demolished. Slate police believe the vehicle was driven by 26-year-old Alary Klma Spring, of Bridge. Mrs. Spring and her mother, Mrs. Alary Mattrine Smith, 4ti, of Medford, were bolh in the front seat of the vehicle and the children were in the back. Later Discovery Police first believed that only Ihe two women hud been killed, as the children were not discover ed in the rear seat until wrecker operators prepared to lilt Ihe semi cali off the demolished car. The truck driver, l'Yunk Ray mond Finnell, of 6183 NK Mollis SI., Roseburg, was nut injured. The truck was owned by Tape Bros.

King Saud Orders Relinquishment Of Big U.S. Saudi -Arabian Base WASHINGTON (AP) By sud den decision of King Saud, the United States must give up its air base rights a year from now at strategic Dhohran Airfield on I ine rersian uun loasi ui aauui Arabia. The State Department, disclosing Ihe setback Thursday night, em phasized that the United Slates intends to continue "close and friendly cooperation" Willi Saudi Arabia in spite of this incident. But officials conceded that the result of the king's decision will be to deny the U.S. government the use of air facilities which could be of great military importance in event of a major international cri sis. The field development goes back 15 yean and has cost the United States many millions of dollars. But it has long been treated by bolh governments as Saudi Arab ian field used by the United States under terms of a formal agree ment and subject to the junsdic-j tinn of the Saudi government. j The agreement now in force Is due to expire in April 19ti2. The United States has been notified, the State Department said, that the agreement will not be renewed. Officials said that means t h r rights of the U.S. government to operate from the field will end in April next year.

The pickup was driven by Neal Fielden McCoy, 63, of Rt. 1, Suth erlin. Neither McCoy nor his wife Mary were injured. Police reported that when the semi struck the Spring vehicle it climbed on top of the car and shattered it into a twisted mass. Their deaths brought the total for. Douglas County this year to 17. half the total for the entire year of 19ti0 and three more than . the total for the entire year of 1958. The victims were believed to have been enroute lo Oakland to visit relatives when the accident occurred. They were thought to have once lived in a Roseburg Trailer Court. Apparent Drownings Two young Roseburg area broth ers were swept away into the churning waters of the North Ump qua Hiver early Thursday after noon and their bodies have not yet been found. Kaiidall Lee were the victims. They are the sons of Mrs. Shirley ArpelduiK of Garden Valley Rd. High and turbulent water has made the job of finding the bodies a difficult one. Skin divine is vir tually impossible, but Sheriff Ira C. Byrd says he will continue a patrol of the river in a search for the bodies. The two Erpclding youngsters had been playing on the banks of the river near Brown's Bridge just west of the Koseburg Country Club when they were swept down stream by the rampaging waters, Douglas County Undcrsheriff Lyle Dickinson said.. State police, who assisted the sheriff's office, said Ladd, who couldn't swim, was in the water apparently wading around when he walked into a hole. Carried Down Stream They reported that at about the same time, he dropped out of sight, Randall, who had been swimming, got into some fast water and was carried downstream. Their other brothers, 11 year-old Leland and 12-year-old Richard, were unable lo help. Dickinson said the sheriff's of ficers searched the area in boats and had two divers on hand, but they were unable to find the boys. All Ihe search disclosed was a young boy's black jacket, believed to belong to one of the missing brothers. Dickinson said the water was too high, too swift and too muddy to allow the divers to car ry out a good search. He said the search will be taken up when con ditions improve. The believed-lo-be drownings oc curred about a mile from Single ton Park, where the North and Sotilh Umpqua Rivers meet. The Erpeldings had just recently moved here.

It also has been the operating base of an Air Force air-sea rescue team. Offi cials said that no combat planes have been operated out of Dhah ran. But it is understood that under the agreement the base pre sumably could have been used in time of war for combat aircraft. U.S. officials here said that King: Saud, long known as a good friend of Uie United States, apparently had decided to serve police of "non-renewal" of the Dhahran agreement because of internal pol itical forces in his country. They declared they had no information on which to be more specific. They noted, however, that Saudi Arabia has been assailed for years by other Arab countries, and par ticularly the United Arab Republic, with a charge that it permitted a foreign air base on Its territory.
