Hbuse Committee Votes To Continue Hearing On Increase In Postal Rates To Cut Costs WASHINGTON, "July 14 House Post Office Committee overrode rebellious Republican members by a one-vote today and agreed to continue hearinngs on the administration's request for.higher mail rate's. The vote, in which the cliairman cast the decidmp; ballot, followed a 20-minute wrangle with Postmaster General Arthur E. ield. trying unsuccessfully to make himself So loud were the objections that a Democrat, Rep. Tom Murray (Term), complained "mortified" by the way- the Republicans behaved.

He said they had shown the "rankest, kind of discourtesy" cabinet officer. finally hearing Pummer- ficlds's plea ior higher'rates to offset part of the huge postal deficit, the into closed session and rejected move To put off action on.the-pDUticaUy; explosivo issue until next January. U. S.Y First Ace Return Home But Chairman Edward H. Rees (R-Kan), whose vote broke a 10-10 tie, said the hairline decision does- not necessarily mean there will be any action on Summerfiekl's proposal this year.

It merely means the committee will continue hearings "in the regular order." Hep. Harold C. Hagen (R-Minn). No. 2 Republican on the committee, led the drive to stop the heai- -ings before they could -get started.

Rees had just finished suggesting Summerfietd 'not be interrupted" until he finished 'reading a prepared statement when Hagen broke in to move that the committee go immediately into closed session. Rccs refused to recognize him: "Ladies and gentlemen Summerfield began, but Hagen cut in aflkin. will no -hearing until my motion is voted on," Hagen slioutcd at- the chairman. Hees told Summerfield to continue. The cabinet officer was game hut vocally outclassed.

"Do-you- want-me to rule?" Hagen demanded while Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Ia) yelled repeatedly that he was seconding Hageri's motion. Rees ignored both of them and the lawmakers heard Summerfield before voting." Earlier Summerfield petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to railroad, request for a minimum '45 per cent increase in rates for carrying the mail.

The railroads contend higher operating costs justify the increase', which would amount to about $143,000,000. Summer-field's rale proposals, including a one-cent boost in air mail and non-local first rains, would bring in about OOWOOO annually. Unless something is done, he said, the deficit may soar to a billion-dollars in the near U. S. JET BASE, Korea, July ri j.

Jabara, America's first 'jet ace. who shot down a total of 14 enemy MIGs. said today the Communists apparently have taken out their first team. Jabara, of Wichita, father of three children, got six MIGs during his first tour of duty and then came back because he "likes to kill MIGs." Now he IF ready to return home "I've got to be a father, too." Jabara spoke highly of the F- 86 Sabre jet has flown Korean war missions and pointed to the record of 778 MIGs down in combat to the 58 Sabres lost. The Sabre has longer range, a better eunsight.

it's more ruggedly built and it has more safety features. "I'll take the 8G over the MIG 'any day," But Jabara gave -much-of-tlie credit for his own impressive string of victories to the low of the Communist pilots. "The Reds apparently have replaced their first team with many student pilots who lack the old razzle-dazzle," he said. "I think the MIG pilots were more aggres-. sive earlier in the war when they are-today.
