U OF OREGOK LIBRAST COaP EUGENE, QBE. Ih The- Pay's News By FRANK JENKINS Yesterday it cost only three cents to send an ordinary letter through the mails. Today it costs four. Yesterday it cost only six cents to send an air mail letter. Today it costs seven. So Post office officials report There was a rush yesterday to write letters. Over the nation, mail volume was up 20 per cent over normal as thrifty citizens took their pens in hand to get their correspondence out of the way be fore the price went up. Postal employees worked over time to handle the rush of busi ness. That's inflation for you. BUY BEFORE THE PRICE GOES UP and beat the increase. . Everybody does it. More about the mail: Postal authorities estimate that the extra penny for letters, cards and airmail stamps will cost the average family about two dollars a year or considerably less than penny a day. That's peanuts. But. the postal people confide, It's a whopping increase for big businesses like the utility compa nies. The New York Telephone Company estimates that the extra postage (on its mailed bills to its customers, and so on) will cost it the tidy sum of eight hundred thousand dollars. That isn't peanuts. A thought at this point: The New York Telephone com pany will probably ask for an in crease in its rates to offset the increase in its postage bill. Again . . That's inflation for you. That's the way inflation works. At this point, let's bounce from higher postage costs to the much discussed "summit" meeting. What do you think of it? If it is held, will the free world be saved? If it isn't held, will the free world be sunk? I wonder. As France's De Gaulle suggests, a "summit" conference (no mat ter where it is held) will provide . Krushchev with a wonderful prop aganda opportunity. At a "sum mit" meeting, he can yell bloody . murder at the top of his , voice about the wicked warmongering United States and his every word will be carried all over the world. About all we can do is to say IT AIN'T SO. -. That- iff a rather weak rejoinder. Something else to remember: At a summit conference, Krush chev will be the only real SUM MIT. As long as he can manage to stay on top, he is IT so far as Russia is concerned. He can say what he pleases and do what he pleases. If he chooses, he can lie like a trooper and there will be nobody at home to call him down. It is different with the President of the United States and the Pre mier of Britain. The President of the U.S. has a congress to con sider. The Premier of Britain has a parliament to consider. Krush chev as long, that is, as he ean stay on top is as free as bird. Affectionate Man Fined $10 HILLSIDE, N. J. (AP)-William H. Keubler, 41, came into court to answer a careless driving charge. Police said he had been snug gling close to his wife while driv ing. Magistrate Henry Goldher was not unsympathetic. He compli mented the couple for being so af fectionate after 15 years of mar riage. Then he fined Keubler $10. m , vr i BOTULISM EFFECTS are graphically exhibited by this tick mallard hen being held by Rod Stone, biologist at the Tulalaka Refuge. A serious cats of botulism appears to have hit the area. Stone reports that it strikes at the central nervous system and the birds are unabla to hold their heads up and thus drown. Stone is from the Bear River Refuge, Brigham City, Utah, but has spent three years here studying botulism. Photo by Kettler Antimissile Missile Test Shot Fired HONOLULU (AP) A missile with an atomic war head was fired into the Pacific skies from John ston Island Friday. The test shot illuminated the heavens and was seen brightly by thousands in Ha waii. 700 miles to the northeast. The massive flaring in the sky was awesome. The spectacular test blast, on the fringes of space, apparently was part of the effort to develop an antimissile missile. Monica McKechnie, Waikiki va cationer from Daly City, Calif., told of clearly seeing the ball of fire from Waikiki Beach and asked "Would you advise me to leave?" She was told not to be alarmed. Two air line pilots on a flight from Honolulu saw the explosion which may have occurred at an altitude of 100 miles. - Capt. Jack Turner and co-pilot Eugene Wolf said the sky ap peared to erupt at 12:52 a. m. Hawaii time as a bright flash cut through the darkness in the south west. It appeared to them as a tower ing kind of cloud which climbed siwftly and was topped off by another mushroom cloud that in creased in height and width. At that height the blast possibly was on ine iringe ot space. Turner said: "It was of great magnitude with a beautiful red glow which slowly dissipated into a white glow. Twenty minutes after the flash the fliers could see a red fringe around the slowly fading mush room cioua. Honolulu police said they began getting telephone calls about the blast at 12:55 a.m. From that mo ment they were swamped. Senate Plans Quick Pension Bill Action WASHINGTON (AP) Senate pressures mounted today for quick action on a bill to increase Social Security pensions by 7 per cent in the wake of a 375-2 House vote for the measure. Some senators said they did not believe their branch could run the political risk of adjourning the 85th Congress without acting on the legislation. The higher payments had strong election-year appeal despite the bill's provision for a series of tax increases to finance the changes. Taxes on many workers would go up $25.50 next year and another $24 the following year as part of the stepped-up tax schedule. The House rushed the bill to the Senate after only a few hours' debate. Representatives Noah Ma son (R-Ill) and Bruce Alger (R Tex) cast the only no ,ies. The measure would boost month ly payments for the 12 million beneficiaries now receiving Social Security insurance checks, and provide higher payments for those retiring -in future years. The benefit increases would take effect Nov. 1 if the bill becomes law in August. Taxes would go up next Jan. 1. - The big obstacle to the bill in the Senate appeared to be the crush of business before the Fi nance Committee, which must handle it. That group already has on its schedule three bulky tax bills as well as President Eisen hower's request for another hike in the debt limit. Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) committee chairman, said only that he would bring the bill before the group when it finishes work on a small business tax relief measure. Other senators reported that Byrd was cool to the bill, holding the view that it was too complex and far-reaching to handle in a congressional adjournment rush. .4$ lit H Price Five Cents 24 Pages Si 'JShL &WC JT:V vi)-MIPS WORK ON THE MT.

Schriever, com mander of the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division. The development: an all-inertial guidance system months, per haps years, sooner than the Air Force had hoped. . The Air Force has been using radio-controlled inertial guidance systems for its missiles. AU-iner-tial guidance frees missiles from any need for control from the ground, with these big advan tages: ' 1. Such missiles cannot be 'jammed" by enemy radio and radar and thus diverted from their target. 2. Missile bases using the all inertial guidance system can be dispersed easily and hidden from enemy detection. Underground bases will not be betrayed by the presence of antennae. 3. Millions or even billions of dollars can be saved through con struction of less-elaborate ground facilities. 4. Space ships, the big brothers of today's missiles, will be able to guide themselves far beyond the range of radio and radar. Up to now, space-trip plans have been limited to Mars and Venus be cause radio guidance needed to keep space ships oriented with earth will not reach much farther. The new breakthrough means a space ship can use any object in the heavens as an orientation point. What is Inertial guidance? It's a system of controlling the direction of a missile or rocket which uses gyro-stabilizers similar to the spinning toys familiar to children since World War I. Start the gyro whirling and it remains stable no matter how you hold it or toss it around. Marx Brother To Testify LOS ANGELES (AP) - Zeppo Marx has been subpoenaed to ap pear before an Indianapolis feder al grand jury prooe ol a book making racket. Zeppo real name Herbert is the youngest of the four Marx brothers.

OREGON, Lebanon Chief Declares He Will Not Take Office Before His Term Begins BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Leb anon's new President-elect indicat ed today he will not try to take office before his term begins offi cially Sept. 24 despite continuing rebel demands for the immediate departure of President Camille Chamoun. The Lebanese generally were jubilant over the election of Gen. Fuad Shehab yesterday as a non partisan compromise candidate with the best chance of ending the 84-day-old rebellion. But one rebel leader who was pleased with Par liament's choice still held out for Chamoun to quit at once. Basically nothing has changed. former Premier Sacb Salam told The Associated Press from his rebel fortress in the heart of Bei rut. "We will continue to fight un til our demands are met," he said. The main demands are the quick withdrawal of U.S. troops and the immediate resignation of pro-Western President Camille Chamoun. Neither Chamoun, who invited in the 10,000 American troops July 14, nor Shehab indicated they were in any hurry to send them home. Secretary of State Dulles said in Washington the troops will leave if asked by a duly con stituted Lebanese government. Chamoun, after conferring with Shehab, said he has no intention of quitting before his six-year term runs out. Shehab, 56-year-old army com mander in chief who believes sol- Big Game Application Lag Noted In Klamath Despite Nearing Deadline Apparently hunters are holding off putting in applications for per mits to hunt big game this year. Iim Mohr, district game agent for the Oregon State Game Com mission, said today. "In a general check of all li cense agents in this area, it ap pears that applications are very slow," he stated. "Several of the shops had filled only half a book. With 12,000 deer licenses bought in Klamath County last year, il would seem reasonable that at least 6,000 would apply for a doe permit this year," he added. He recommends that hunters who desire a permit this year ap ply as soon as possible. Ihe deadline for antelope appn cations and certain controlled deer hunt applications is August 6. All unit deer hunt applications must be in by August 18. Llk applica tions and the remainder of the con trolled deer hunt applications must be in by September 15. This means. Mohr reiterated, that the appnea tions must be in the Portland of fice of the game commission by 5 p.m. of the final day. Mohr recommends mailing them two days before deadline. Several hunters have asked about the Long-Bell or Yamsay tract with respect to doe hunting there, Mohr said. FRIDAY.

Shasta Ski Bowl Corporation dicrs should stay out of politics, said he would not resign from the army until Sept. 24. That meant he could Hot assume the presiden cy until then. Asked by newsmen about with drawal of U.S. troops, Shehab stuck to his noncommittal position that enabled both government and rebels to settle on him lor presi dent. "I am still a general and not yet a president and so I have nothing to say, he declared. A pending Cabinet shakeup ap peared likely, however, as a result of Premier Sami Solh's opposition to Shehab. The Premier, a long time enemy of the general, boy cotted the election session of Par liament. Foreign Minister Charles Malik said1 there was no reason for the Cabinet to remain in of fice since its members disagreed on the election. Some other deputies, arguing that election of a middle-roader repudiated the Chamoun-bolh ac ceptance of the Eisenhower Doc trine, contended that bolh should resign now instead of waiting un til the presidency changes hands and puts him out. Shehab is expected to withdraw Lebanon from its position of the Arab nation most closely allied with the West. He is believed to favor truly impartial neutrality rather than the brand of anti Western neutrality inspired by President Nasser of the United Arab Republic and supported by some Lebanese rebels. "All private lands inside the boundaries of the Klamath Indian Reservation have been excluded from all unit areas." he said. hence it is not possible to obtain a doe permit for any private lands lying inside the reservation. This results in a bucks-only area. Tri bal lands, the area owned by the Klamath Tribe as a whole, is un der the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Klamath Tribal Council." License agencies (28 in Klamath County, 24 in Klamath Falls) now have hand-out copies of the deer unit map which was published re cently in the Herald and News, Mohr pointed out, in addition to the unit boundary descriptions. The deadlines will slip up on many hunters who will be disap pointed when they awaken to the Fact that they cannot participate in the drawings this year," Mohr warned. 'I will he available at my home TU 2-3792, all day Saturday and ail day Sunday, except from 8 to 10 a.m., to answer any questions tnat hunters may wish to ask re garding this year's hunting regula tions, particularly the unit system for deer management," Mohr offered.

But hope that Mrs. Ingebord Weissmann Rubinfeld. 34. was his daughter was becoming harder and harder to sustain. She can't remember her father or mother or her life before waking up in a German concentration camp. Weissmann and Mrs. Rubinfeld, who has the same bihhdate and birthplace as the tailor's long missing daughter, met face to face when the international Red Cross informed him a woman in Los Angeles had the same name as his daughter. The tailor flew hero from New York and called on Mrs. Rubin feld in a dramatic meeting. They didn't recognize each other, and while Weissmann said Mrs. Rubin felt resembled his daughter, he wasn't absolutely sure. She wasn't eilher. Weissmann called for his son Fred Weissmann to fly to Califor nia and meet Mrs. Rubinfeld. He arrived Thursday and met the woman who may be his sister, but he too was uncertain. Fred last saw his sister when he escaped from a boxcar carry ing her and their mother to a concentration camp. He escaped and later came to the United States. Mrs. Rubinfeld came to the United States in 1948. Results of blood tests were ex pected in one or two days. All three hope the question will be answered one way or another and there will be an end to agon izing uncertainty. Tariff Limit Bill Expected WASHINGTON (AP) A final reciprocal trade compromise ac ceptable to President Eisenhower was expected to emerge today from efforts of Senate and House conferees to jcsolve their differ ences. Advance indications wore that the President would not get ail he wanted in the way of authority to negotiate lower trade barriers among the world's free nations. But there appeared to be gen oral agreement that he would get most ot what he needed. The House early in June crashed protectionist efforts to curb the President s trade and tariff-making authority. It passed a bill extending the 24-ycar-old Trade Agreements Act another five years generally along Eisen hower's lines. The Senate July 22 limited the extension to three years and re duced the President's trade nego tiations authority in several partic ulars. The belief was prevalent among influential negotiators that the differences would be pretty much split down the middle a result not opposed by the administration. mourn- v' 4 11 MICHU MViCCl WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower proposed Friday a Middle Last summit conference within the United Nations about Aug. 12. In a new letter to Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev, Eisen hower for the first time commit ted himself flatly to the idea of a top-level meeting, and called on Khrushchev to join him there. At the same time Eisenhower named the threat of "further in direct aggression" in the Middle East as the real issue for a meet- Dag Attempts To Speed Up Summit Talks UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP) Secretary General Dag Hamm- arskjold called in Soviet and Western diplomats for separate talks Friday in an etfort to speed arrangements tor a summit meet ing on the Middle East. Ho acted shortly after Britain formally asked that the U.S. Se curity Council hold a heads-of- overnment meeting Aug. 12. Hammarskjold set up separate appointments with the delegates of the united Mates, soviet Union, Britain and France. Ho planned to confer with other members of the 11-nation council within 24 hours. Harold Beeley, Britain's acting U.N. representative, requested the summit meeting in a letter he sent to Quillaume Georges-P i c o t of trance, president of the Council for August. Bcelcy asked Hammarskjold for consultations on arrangements He said British Prime Minister Macmillan would be present at any summit council session The British acted with U. S, backing, without waiting for Soviet agreement and despite French Premier de Gaulle's con tinued insistence on a big-power summit conference Aug. 18 in Eu rope not under Council auspices. Macmillan asked for- the top- level touncil meeting under Arti cle 28 of the U. N. Charter, which provides for periodic meetings of the Council "at which each of its members may, if he so desires, be represented by a member of the government. II this meeting u acreed shall be there on Aug. 12," the British Prime Minister said m letter to Soviet Premier Khru shchev. I hope you will be there too." Macmillan said in the House of Commons he had no reason to be lieve President Eisenhower would not attend. U. S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge went to Washington to con sult with Eisenhower and Secre tary of State Dulles. Dulles told a Washington news conference the United States supports the British proposal. TR's Riders Hold Dinner LAS VEGAS, N. M. (AP)-Six of Roosevelt's Rough Riders got together for a dinner last night. They were the first arrivals for the famous regiment s annual re union.

He turned down in sharp lan guage the idea of any such ses sion outside of the U.N. He told Khrushchev that would amount to an effort to set up big power dic tation such as "you imposed in Eastern Europe." Eisenhower advised Khrushchev he is seeking the arrangement ot a special Security Council session through Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., and that it can be held in New York or some other city but not Mos cow. 'If such a meeting is ar ranged," Eisenhower wrote, "I expect to attend and participate and I hope that you would do like wise." A few minutes after the letter was released, Eisenhower con ferred at the White House with Lodge. The letter was delivered in Mos cow a few hours earlier. In his discussion of indirect ag gression, Eisenhower was putting into formal words much the same thing that Secretary of State Dulles said on the subject at a news conference Thursday. At that time Dulles said: "If the Soviet Union does not want war they will almost have to agree that these practices should be brought under some kind of control by the United Na tions," he said. From the U. S. point of view. the proposed conference is shap ing up as a diplomatic battle in which Khrushchev will try to prove his charges of U. fi.-British aggression against Lebanon and Jordan and Eisenhower -will try to prove Soviet-backed indirect aggression against several Mid east states. The President's newest letter to Moscow was described as setting forth in strong terms his views on the Middle East crisis and So viet world policies. Specifically ha was reported rejecting what he considers the Soviets aim of set ting up a great power summit con ference to dictate to smaller na tions what they should do. Officials said, he is insisting on working through the U. N. Secu rity Council and turning down flatly the idea of world rule by the great nations. They said he was leaving . open the question of where the project ed meeting should be held, since he is willing to have it either in New York or in. some aultable European city but not Moscow.
