House Backs Bill On Lewd Literature ' Washington, IP The House passed a bill Monday to lighten federal controls on distribution of pornographic matter. Approved b y unanimous consent, the mearsure was re quested by the post office de partment. The legislation now goes to the senate. Transportation of obscene matter by "common carrier" as opposed to the mails also would be outlawed. Present penalties of $5,000 fine and five years in jail, now applicable to the senders, would be doubled. The post office requested the bill after the U. S. Court of Appeals held that the of fense could be prosecuted only in the judicial district where the pornography was mailed. The new bill would permit prosecution at the city of delivery as well, or at any point in between. Elsewhere in Congress: Mouse: Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schiever, commander of the Air Force Ballistic Mis siles Division,, apologized to Congress for denying there was a mouse aboard a rocket fired into the upper atmos phere.

Moss had demanded an ex planation after the Air Force confirmed officially April 28 that the mouse had been seal ed in the rocket nose. Schrie ver told the House Space Committee April that no ani mal was aboard. Air transport: Dudley C. Sharp, assistant secretary for air, asked the Senate Com merce Committee not to crip ple the Military Air Trans port Service merely because commercial airlines complain it competes with tnem tuv fairly. He said the MATS fleet is necessary to defense and ''must be kept in readiness." Lt. Gen. William H. Tunner, Air Force deputy chief of must be "immediately respon sive" to military orders. Railroads: G. E. Leighty, chairman of the Railway La bor Executives Association said the railroads brought on many of their financial diffi culties through lack of "com petitive spirit and sound ag gressive management." He said they should compete for business instead of complain ing about declines. He testi fied before a House subcom mittee that is considering railroad aid legislation. Defense: Chairman Richard B. Russell (D.-Ga.) of the Sen ate Armed Services Commit tee, said he believes Congress will work out a military reor ganization bill "reasonably satisfactory to everybody."

(International) Portland (IP Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) warned Monday night that this coun try faced greater danger from economic forces than military forces. Kennedy, winding up a two day visit to Oregon with a speech at Portland State Col lege, said "the hard truth of the matter is that we stand in greater danger of losing out in our titanic competition with the Russians without a single missle ever being fired." Kennedy, mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in I960-, said Russia's "ruble diplomacy" has become "the main sword of Communist policy in the uncommitted and underdeveloped world."
