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.

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.

Army Reports
Breakthrough
In Missilery
INGLEWOOD, Califl (AP) A
major breakthrough in missilery
was announced today by Maj.
Gen. Bernard A. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Blood Tests
May Reveal
Missing Kin
LOS ANGELES (UPI) Leo
Weissmann, Bronx tailor, today
hoped that blood tests would re
veal whether or not a former
concentration camp inmate was
the 14-year-old daughter he left
in fcurope before the Nazis
struck.
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.

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

ins of chiefs of government, re
jecting the Moscow contention that
the trouble stems from "aggres
sion" by the United States in Leb
anon. 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.
