POSTAL RATE HIKE
WASHINGTON, UP) — Postmas
ter General Arthur Summerfield
asked Congress to add a penny to
the cost of mailing a letter. He
also asked for a boost in mailing
rates for newspapers, magazines
and advertising material.
Chairman Tom Murray (D
Tenn) said the House Post Office
Committee’s recent action in ap
proving a 9 per cent pay increase
for postal workers and other fed
eral employes obligated it to raise
rates as well.

Wisconsin University
Quits Boxing
MADISON, Wise., W — Inter
collegiate boxing suffered what
may turn out to be a knockout
blow when it was dropped Mon
day by the University of Wiscon
sin, long a leader and often a
champion in the sport.
The Badgers were voted out of
competition by the Wisconsin fac
ulty less than a month after the
death of Wisconsin boxer Charles
Mohr of a brain injury suffered in
a bout.
Wisconsin had been the last ma
jor school outside of the Pacific
Coast area still in the sport. Agita
tion for complete abolition of in
tercollegiate boxing increased
after Mohr’s death and probably
will gain more strentgh from the
Wisconsin decision.
The departure of the Badgers
from the ring also means the end
of intersectional action which
helped maintain interest.

House Appropriations
Chief Says Spy Flights
Are Old Stuff
WASHINGTON, 141 — Rep.
Clarence Cannon (D-Mo) said yes
terday flights over Soviet terri
tory have been going on for
years, and the plane the Soviets
captured 'May 1 was not hit by a
missile but apparently was forced
down, by “some unforseen and
unavoidable mechanical or physio
logical defect.”
Cannon, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, de
fended the espionage flights in a
House speech. He said they have
had the approval and support of
members of the Defense Appro
riations Subcommittee.
The House listened intently as
Cannon spoke and applauded
when he concluded.
Cannon spoke of flights since
1946 and penetrations as deep as
1,300 miles inside Russia.
He was one of the Congressional
leaders who attended Monday’s
briefing on the plane incident by
Secretary of State Christian Her
ter and Allen W. Dulles, head of
the Central Intelligence Agency.
Cannon accused the Russians of
having “distributed a picture of a
pile of rubbish which those who
know the plane recognized as
spurious.”
The plane and the pilot were
evidently taken uninjured. The
fact that the plane was not hit
or overtaken by a Soviet plane,
he said, “completely destroys”
Khrushchev’s claims of invulner
ability against American attacks.

Military Will Be
Here In Force
On May 18
Plans for two outstanding
events were announced at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
on Monday.
Bob Harwood reported on the
Midnight Sun Festival, to be held
on June 17, 18 and 19.
Much interest has been shown
throughout the State for this
event, which is made more color
ful by the use of pioneer costumes,
and which will this year be en
hanced by flowing beards. The
Jaycees have already volunteered
to take charge of the Kangaroo
Court. There will be a Queen
Contest, with the winner going to
Anchorage for the Miss America
Contest. Eskimo sports will be an
important part of the program,
states Harwood, as many out-of
town guests are expected.
Major Flanagan of ANG re
ported on a real celebration for
May 18, when General Gordon
Austin will arrive here with a
military band, jet planes, enter
tainment group and other inter
esting features for an Armed
Forces Day celebration.
He explained that everything is
being provided except food for the
60 guests, and overnight housing
for the entertainers.
He is asking the women’s groups
of the community to sponsor a
luncheon on the 18th at 11:30 a.m.
The Home Arts Club has assumed
the responsibility of planning
the menu, and asks the other wo
men’s groups to cooperate. It is
believed the Pioneer Women will
furnish he dining room and pre
pare the tables.
The men’s organisations will
provide the dinner and breakfast
and volunteers to provide over
night housing would be welcomed,
stated Major Flanagan.
The parade is scheduled for 1
p.m., and local marching groups
are asked to participate.
Deputy Magistrates Will Meet
In Nome for Mid-May Seminar
Judge Hubert Gilbert has an
nounced there will be a seminar
here on May 17, 18 and 19, for
deputy magistrates in the Second
District.
David Luce, Administrative Di
rector of Courts, is expected to be
here at that time, and so possibly
will be Henry Camarot of Fair
banks.
