If approved by Congress this would mean 5-cent let ters, 4-cent postcards and 8- cent airmail. The President spelled out his proposals at his weekly meeting with Republican Congressional leaders. They indicated they gave the Presi dent a pessimistic report on the prospects for congression al approval this year of the postal rate increases. As reported by Senate Re- publican Leader Everett M, Dirksen (111.) and House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind.) the program would in crease postal revenues by $554 million a year toward Firemen Stand By For Plane Landings City firemen went to the Medford airport at 10 a.m yesterday to stand by for the emergency landing of a pri vate plane whose throttle and right engine stuck while in flight.

Johnson's strategy for the long-awaited election-year showdown . on rights legisla tion. Southern senators planned to continue their lengthy speeches urging the chamber to postpone the. rights debate until next Thursday to give committees a chance to send civil rights proposals to the floor. To Ask Approval Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.), a rights proponent who also opposes Johnson's procedure, said he would ask the Senate Judiciary Commit tee to approve some form of civil rights bill at its first ses sion of the year this morning. Johnson, a Texas Democrat and presidential aspirant, drew criticism from both side when he opened the rights debate Monday by bringing up a local Missouri school bill and inviting law makers to attach' civil rights proposals as amendments. Keating said he first would seek a judiciary committee vote on the administration's seven-part civil rights bill. He conceded approval was -unlikely. If the committee voted him down, Keating said he then would ask action on a so called "mild" two-part rights measure; approved by a judi ciary subcommittee last year.' Other congressional news: Iinleresl: The Senate-House Economic Committee called in Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson to question him about President Eisenhower's renewed request for elimina tion of the 44 per cent inter est ceiling on government bonds. Congress - ignored the appeal last year. The Demo cratic Advisory.; Council said in a statement that removal of the Interest lid would boost all interest charges and contribute to higher prices. Housing: Sen. Jacob K. Ja vits (R-N.Y.) planned to in troduce a three-part housing bill. It would increase gov ernment relocation grants to families and businesses forced to move by slum clear ance projects and would double the federal emergency fund for helping communities which temporarily exhaust their slum clearance alloca tions. It ' also would cut the FHA mortgage insurance pre mium on multiple rental and cooperative housing projects. Javits said this would save tenants about $30 a year.

Police stopped the 15-year- old boy on the corner of Mam I st. and Central ave., about 2:55 o'clock this morning for i r o u t i n e questioning. They I found the boy to be carrying ' a brown canvas handbag in which were maps of Califor nia and canned food. The boy told police he was on his way from Salem where his mother lived to his fath er's home in. Ashland. Police checked with Salem authori ties and found the boy to be a runaway.

Carole Tregoff, on trial for the mur der of her lover's wife, returns to the stand today to face an other withering cross-examination that reduced her to tears Monday. V The . red-haired mistress of Dr, R. Bernard . Finch, 42, broke briefly Monday under questioning b y prosecutor Clifford Crail about the night of July 18 when Mrs. Bar bara Jean Finch was slain. Both Carole and Finch are charged with her murder. k Crail Takes Over Carole, 23, was on the wit ness stand less than five min utes under questioning by her own lawyer. She said "abso lutely not" when asked wheth er she plotted to kill Mrs. Finch or tried to murder her. Then the grim-faced Crail took over. Within an hour Carole was in tears and sob bing. Crail says he has per haps another full day 01 questions. Carole's cross-examination was in direct contrast to that of the surgeon. Finch was on the witness stand for six days. His cross - examination b y Crail's colleague, Fred Which ello, was so gentlemanly that Whichello has won the nick name, "Cream Puff." Carole's breaking point came when Crail asked her about the scene in the garage when she and Finch asked Mrs. Finch if they could talk to her about a divorce. Savs Victim Had Gun "She said no or something like that," Carole replied. "The next thing that hap Dened. she had a gun - and pointed it at me. Something was thrown at me and then I left," Carole said. . She began crying. Crail said he didn't want to continue under those circumstances. Carole straightened her shoul ders and said she could go on. Still to be covered by the prosecution were these points: Carole contracting and pay ing $1,350 to convict John Patrick Cody in Las Vegas. She and Finch say it was to trail Mrs. Finch for divorce evidence. Cody says it was for murder. The big question is why Carole paid the full amount at the outset. Crouching in the bushes for six hours outside the Finch home while police swarmed about it. If she was complete ly innocent, why did she not emerge? v. 'Not Important' The so-called "murder kit." Carole admitted Monday she carried the attache kit to the scene. She also admitted she did not tell police about it at first because she "didn't think it was important." Her testimony that Finch flung a shaving kit with bul lets to her in the garage. That is the crux of the defense case-that Mrs. Finch had the eun and bullets in her car. J Crail said Monday that any person would have fled the minute they saw Mrs. Finch with the gun. Carole said she waited until she got the kit. Ballistic PriissiOes Said To Give Aggressor Advantages (Continued from Page 1) Although it is little known, the Air Force's Discoverer satellite series is a research and development project lead ing directly to Midas and Samos. The space vehicle in the Discoverer series, the top stage of the rocket called Agena, is the only space ve hicle being produced in this country on an assembly line basis. In a recent visit to BMD in search of facts about the cur rent defense and space con troversies, this reporter ob tained from A. F. Donovan, STL vice president and di rector of advanced systems planning, the reasoning be hind the military satellite ef fort. He noted that the U. S. mo nopoly on deterrent power ended in 1954 and that by 1958 the Soviet Union was claiming to have its own stra tegic force. Donovan pointed out that ballistic missiles give an ag gressor many advantages. For example: -They can be launched in salvo, and defense against them is not yet practicable. -They do not have to be in safe underground sites or mo bile because they will not be attacked. They will be fired first. Donovan said the United States needs "overwhelming superiority in a new deterrent approach, both revolutionary weapons systems and military space applications." Space vehicles, he said, could counter the - information-gathering or intelligence- gathering advantage a Com munist country has over a de mocracy and also could "elim inate the surprise attack ad vantage." Donovan said optimistically that many of the obstacles. to military use of space can be overcome. He listed the ob stacles as high costs, difficul ty of returning from orbit, present inability to maneuver in space and short life of space payloads. Maj. Gen. O. J. Ritland, BiMD commander, said the Midas (missile defense alarm system) could double the warning time available from Arctic radars now being built. Using infr: red sensing de vices, Midas satellites in po lar orbits several hundnds miles high could detect an enemy missile at the moment of launching by spotting the missile s heat trail. The Samos Satellite, he said, would be a global sur veillance system, wiping out Russia's intelligence - gather - ing advantage. Pointing out that American ballistic missiles were devel oped and made operational in five short years by simul taneous research, production, base construction and crew training, Ritland said: "This same concept of con currency, and the priorities and funds that go with it, should now be applied to the expenditious development of our military space systems." Besides the Midas and Samos, BMD is studying the possible uses of moon ob servatories and "interplanet ary systems" under projects respectively called SR-183 and SR-182. Goes One Better At Sacramento, Calif., an official of Aerojet -General Corp. who formerly served in the Pentagon's space technol ogy program, went the BMD one better. D. A. Young. Aeroiet's long-range planning director. said there should be an ur gent effort to develop armed satellites. He said it was tech nically possible for the So viet Union to have such wea pons in the "next few years," ana tne United States had better not lag. Young said such satellites in Soviet hands, armed with kill mechanisms." could in time counter the U.S. Stra tegic Air Command and in tercontinental ballistic mis siles, and reduce retaliatory power to "zero." "We must get that capabil ity (armed satellites) iirsV he said. Next: The ballistic missil effort.
