The Administration already has
said that this estimated surplus
likely would be offset by higher
military spending in the bookkep-
ing year that begins July 1.
Larger Thaa Rrqaests
Approved increases in second
class rates were even larger than
the Administration requested. Pres
ident Eisenhower asked for a 30
per cent boost. But the committee
voted for progressive increases
over a five-year period that would
average about 75 per cent at the
end at that time.
Sections of newspapers and
magazines devoted to advertising
would be subject to an increase
of about 120 per cent while the
rate for reading matter would go
ur about 30 per cent. Publishers
have long been required to report
the percentage of advertising in
each issue sent through the mails.
The second class increases would
apply to items addressed for de-!
livery outside the county of publi
cation. The minimum charge would
be upped from k cent to H cent
per item.
The increase In third clasa rates
would be 30 per cent, the figure
proposed by the Administration.
In another action, the committee
adopted a policy statement calling
on the treasury to reimburse the
Post Office Deoartment for it mih.
lie service activities. Under this
system, Conrress would from time
to time define the department's
public services.

Scott disappeared May 1. The
man answering his description was
said to have stayed at Bishop May

when he failed to appear to plead
