Higher Mail Rates
Will Be Sought by
Postal Official
San Fraacuco-WPU - Post
master General J. Edward
Day said Monday he would
oress for postal increases
which would raise first class
mail rates to five cents an
ounce and air mail rates to
eight cents.
He told newsmen a sub
stantial increase in second
and third class rates also was
needed to give the department
an over-all increase of $843
million a year.
Day said he hoped Congress
would approve the boosts this
year to help offset an esti
mated gap of $900 million a
year between postal revenue
and expenses.
The postmaster general said
he hoped for a construction
program affecting some 2.000
facilities a year but that the
automated post office was get
ting a second look.
The automated post office
in Providence. R.I., has been
a disappointment, he said, and
plans for a similar one
at
Oakland, Calif., were
under
scrutiny.
"Automation may be fine
for making pencils," Day said.
"If some are damaged you can
just throw them away but
you can't do that with mail."

Nikiia Advised
To Pay Old Bill
For Lend-lease
Los Angeles - UP0 - Nikita
Khrushchev was advised a
few weeks ago by a Los An
geles financier to pay off
Russia's lend-lease debts if he
expects to resume full-scale
trade in nonstrategic materials
with the United States.
Dr. Armand Hammer, presi
dent of Occidental Petroleum
Co., disclosed today that he
had a two - hour conference
Feb. 17 with the Russian lead
er and had a remarkably
frank and forthright exchange
of views.
No Ax to Grind
"Khrushchev was in a won
derful mood," said Hammer
who saw the Russian leader
during an around-the-world
trip. "I could say things that
a diplomat could not say. I
bad no ax to grind."
"We would like to trade
with the United States in
peaceful goods," he quoted
Khrushchev as saying. "We
don't need your strategic
goods - we have better rock
ets." ,. Hammer said he told Khru
shchev that Russia could not
net international credits until
tile Soviet lend-lease bill was
settled from World War II.
K.nrusnc!iev said he was
willing to settle lend-lease
debts if he got "the same
treatment as the British.'
Good Will Lacking
Hammer said he also told
Khrushchev that American
public opinion of Russia had
"worsened" since the Soviet
leader's visit in 1939.
"You don't have good will."
Hammer told Khrushchev
"There's your lack of coopera.
tion in tile U.N. Let's settle
all problems in the U.N. then
public opinion will be better
Hammer said Khrushchev
replied: "We 11 see."
The meeting with Kh
shcliev was arranged through

Reapportionment Plan Given Te ntative Approval
By House Elections Committee's
Salem - iUPO - Amid charges
of railroading and threats of a
Supreme Court test, a House
committee Monday gave 5-2
tentative approval to a reap
portionment plan calling for
scarcely any change in the
makeup of the state legisla
ture. The plan okayed by the
House Elections Committee
was proposed by Rep. Kessler
Cannon (R-Bendj. It was near
ly identical to a "preferred
plan" that won the endorse
ment of House Republicans
two weeks ago.
Reps. William Holmstrom
(D-Gearhart) and Philip Lang
Coast Residents
Face Job Losses
Oyer Lack of Fish
Salem-iUPD - The legislature
was warned Monday after
noon that if more money is
not forthcoming for fish rear
ing, 4,100 coastal residents
may be added to the welfare
rolls over the next four years.
The Oregon Coast Associa
tion asked a Ways and Means
subcommittee for $1.6 million
more for stream clearance and
pond rearing on the coast
over the next two years.
Problem 'Very Simple'
Tom Becker, head of the
association's fish committee
said the 4,100 are those whose
livelihood is directly tied
with Silver and Chinook salm
on. They include commercial
fishermer, charter sport boat
ers, motel and lodge oper
ators, and moorage operators.
Becker told the committee
the problem is very simple:
"No fish."
Becker, manager of radio
station KNPT in Newport,
said unemployment is running
30 per cent now in Lincoln
county the highest in Oregon
and among the highest in the
nation.
Association Manager Vern
Ayers seconded Becker's re
marks, adding that Oregon is
"no longer the salmon capital
of the world."
Commercial fishermen are
calling the Pacific salmon a
"dodo" and turning to tuna
and other species, ha said.
Ayers said the Columbia
system is "recognized as not
doing the job" and the state
should turn to coastal streams
for salmon propagation.
Coos County Judge James
W. Harrison said logging
methods are partly to blame
for clogging of streams. The
association president said
counties are trying to clear
the streams but the job is
"tremendous" and state help
is needed.
Salem Has Chance at
All-America Award
Salem -UIPD- Salem may be
one of the It winners of the
Ail-American City award this
year, according to Salem Area
Chamber of Commerce Presi
dent Willard Marshall.
The awards will be official
ly announced March 15. Mar

into the 1961 All-America
competition was based on a
massive cooperation program
aimed at uniting five local
governments into area service
operations.

Cannon proposal. It would
