Two "Great Society" programs given congressional approval but no financing last year are slated for an early reappraisal this year. They call for rent subsidies for low-income families and creation of a teacher corps to help children of the poor. Republicans already have called for overhaul of the 1965 poverty jaw war program. They claim it is too wasteful and is riddled by local politics. Another administrationbacked bill left hanging in the air when the last session adhome journed rule provides for the for a District form of Columbia.

Both the Senate and the House approved it but their different versions are poles apart. Republicans, vastly outnumbered in both branches, aren't sanguine about their chances of halting the march of the Johnson program. But they hope to slow it down. They are outnumbered 294-141 in the House and 68-32 in the Senate. The GOP strategy for the coming session apparently will be to back up the President in international affairs and to center its fire domestic programs.

"In 1966." Ford said in a weekend Republican National Committee radio program, "Congress should devote its thought and energies toward correcting the many oversights in new legislation that sailed through the House and Senate in 1965. Obviously we must fully fund our military needs. But to prevent runaway inflation the nonessential domestic spending must be reduced." Ford called also for creation of a bipartisan Hoover-type commission "to examine the size and shape of the executive branch of the federal government." Draft FROM PAGE 1) on the exact needs for the immediate future. Hershey brushed off a request by the American Veterans Committee that he be replaced. The committee in a letter to President Johnson said Hershey has condoned local draft boards using classifications to punish young men for disagreeing with U.S.

foreign policy. "Of course, that's a matter od opinion," Hershey said. "I deny it. I don't know anything about Nam policy." Hershey said the regional conferences are aimed at feeling out the state directors on their views for filling rising quotas and also impressing them with the necessity of meeting quotas. The draft chief was asked his feeling about draft-card burning.

feel it is rather a shame that a citizen would think so little of his country as to flout its laws," said Hershey who has been head of Selective Service since 1941. He said such persons should be made available for military service and if they refused then it would be up to the Justice Department to take action. Hourly temp. 6 p.m. a.m.

The TWU, which represents 36,000 subway and bus employes, originally demanded a 30 per cent wage increase which would cost the TA an estimated $680 million.

The reports it since has scaled its demand down to a 15 per cent increase this year and another 15 per cent hike next; Jan. 1. The TA said a fair settlement would be a 3.2 per cent wage increase, which would be within the guidelines against inflation set by the Johnson administration. The authority also has moved on the legal front to break the strike. A hearing was scheduled for Monday on a TA petition to fine the TWU $323,000 a day for showing contempt in violating state law that forbids strikes by city employes.

Despite the vague reports of weekend settlement, most New Yorkers were preparing for more havoc and frustration when the back-to-work movement starts Monday morning. Stricter Traffic Measures' In a move to ease the tremendous traffic congestion that clogged the city's thoroughfares during business hours last week, city Traffic Commissioner Henry A. Barnes Sunday announced plans for harsher restrictions. He said he has asked administrative Judge John M. Murtagh to increase fines from $15 to $35 for parking violations that obstruct fire hydrants and block cross walks.

He said the measures were necessary to keep traffic moving. As the strike moved into its second work week, its impact was felt most severely in the pocketbook. The losses to New York's giant business community were well on their way to the $1 billion mark. The New York Commerce and Industry Association said the strike already had imposed the greatest hardship on New York's wage earners-thousands of whom were stranded in their homes with no way to get to work-since the great depression of the 1930's. Defectors FROM PAGE 1 the east, when the mutiny broke out.

Foochow, capital of Fukien Province, is 150 miles across the Formosa Strait from Taipei. Landing craft had sailed at midnight and during the blackness of the night, according to the ministry's account, seven of the crew mutinied. Although four of them were slain in a pitched battle with the three diehard aboard, the three survivors managed to head the craft for Matsu only 40 minutes after leaving Foochow. Spotting it, Nationalist ships soon discovered it was a boat bent on surrender and steamed out to escort it in to safety. The flotilla arrived in Matsu just before dawn.

The landing craft's armament included two heavy machine guns. The Defense Ministry did not say whether the bodies of the seven crewmen reported killed had been thrown overboard. The rank of the three mutineers was not stated. Matsu is 3.8 square miles in area and is situated 11.5 miles from the China mainland. Sunday's defection was the second involving Chinese Communist military personnel since Nov.

11, when three airmen defected to Formosa in an Ilyushin 28 jet bomber. Under long-standing offers of rewards by the Chinese Nationalist navy, the three navy defectors would have been entitled to 300 ounces of gold, the equivalent of $10,500.

Dugan and appointment of another to the city court post will be discussed at Monday's meeting of the City Council. Aldermen will try to resolve a hassle with Mayor Willard E.

Last Monday aldermen failed to override Fraser's veto of the 1967 setting contending his action was "illegal." The 1967 the council, because vote still stands, to according, was a motion and not subject to Fraser's veto. In a memorandum to the council Monday, Fraser said he was vetoing Alderman Duane Smith's motion setting the fluoridation issue for the city election "to save the council from the folly of its all toohasty Dale Madson, 5th ward, member of the mayor's fluoridation election committee, will move Monday that the issue be put to public vote in November. The council is expected to accept Dugan's resignation as police judge and appoint Donald Bjertness to the post.

Roncalio Proposal Gets Wide Response WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep. Teno Roncalio, has announced he has received nationwide response to his proposal that every window on a commercial airliner be converted to an emergency exit.

Roncalio said he hoped the Federal Aviation Agency would endorse his proposal and said he would endorse a stricter FAA ruling or will introduce legislation to assure adequate evacuation facilities from planes. He said there "is firm public belief that many lives have been lost in recent crashes due to inadequate number of exits." Casper College Will Get Grant WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Department of Health, Education and welfare has announced a grant of $95,045 to Casper College to aid in construction of a student center building on the campus.

Everybody's an Expert When It Comes to Mail By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (AP) Few other issues in this time of flaming controversies Viet Nam, the war on proverty, civil rights can whip up as conflicting opinions as these simple questions: Do you think the mail service is getting better? Worse? Or do you believe it is plain lousy? Why? There are a few people still around who don't fancy themselves military experts or welfare economists or relations counselors. all human, receive or send mail, here they are experts, with a research laboratory no farther away then than the mail box.

This is an apt time to examine the Post Office Department. Wobbling Through Revolution It's struggling, or wobbling, through the biggest revolution in its history. It has turned to new sectional centers for separating mail, to new-fangled ideas like ZIP codes, to dizzying advances in mechanization, including machines to scan and sort those ZIP codes, to new philosophies on how the mail should be handled. Every announcement and interview, from the new postmaster general, Lawrence O'- Brien, on down, burbles with excitement over goodies to come. Most people aren't so much concerned with what service will be like two, three, 10 years from now as they are with what happened to last month's check.

And why did Mildred's package arrive looking as if it had been mauled by a wrecking crew? Appears It's Gone to Pot Judging from complaints flooding in some men say their mail gripes run into the thousands mail serv- ice has gone to pot. The problem, of course, is this: What is good service? It won't please everyone, but postal officials have one measure of good services. They figure that air and first-class mail sent within a state should Elmer L. Rodell, Suicide Victim Mrs. Esther Katherine Wiita, 69, 509 S.

Gale McGee said a training project 30 manpower development, and unemployed workers with training as auto mechanics has been approved for Casper.

The Wyoming Democrat said be delivered by the next day no small item, since two-thirds of all mail never leaves the state in which it originates. Recent tests in states where criticism has been strongest show that in South Dakota 99.19 per cent of the mail got there the next day. With North Dakota at 99.12 per cent, Iowa 98.42 and Minnesota 98.35. Impressive? Certainly. But That 2 Per Cent! But as William J.

Hartigan, assistant post master general who supplied these figures, points out: "It doesn't dazzle you if happen to be in the two per, cent that didn't get service." If you assume the Post Office is 98 per cent pure in meeting a reasonable schedule for its mail, whatever the class, you still come up with a staggering statistic. With 72 billion pieces of mail sent each year, this would mean that 144 million letters, packages or junk mail were tardy or lost. If the errors are gargantuan, SO is the job. The Census Bureau figures the nation has from 50 to 52 million families. Each day the Post Office's 600,000 employes must deliver, on the average, four pieces of mail to every household, from the isolated farm to the city slum-200 million letters.

Worse, volume soars faster than the population. Within 10 years 100 billion pieces of mail will be sent annually. Populations Cause Woes More complications arise from shifting population patterns. As the switch from a rural to an urban nation has upset the nation's, politics and economics, SO has it affected "overwhelmed" might be a more accurate word the mail service. The nation has 34.000 post offices, but 68 of them handle 70 per cent of the business.

Well, officials dream of mail untouched by human hands; much of it will be presorted by business firms. Right now it's possible to pick up mail at a plant, tote it to a railroad, put it on a train and then load it aboard and it will never be in a office ship, until it reaches London. Mechanical scanners and sorters will zig the mail along to 553 sectional centers throughout the nation. New buildings will have dumb waiters by which mail can be whisked to each floor, thereby giving clients equal service and saving postman power it takes 23 men to deliver the mail in New York's Empire State Building. By Best Service Airmail stamps will be abolished, and priority or preference mail will be used instead.

Then the department will give the best service available, plane, train, truck or boat. Outside of wartime, perhaps no other government propaganda drive has been as intense and as prolonged as the Post Office's attempt to win approval of the ZIP code those cold numbers so symbolic of the automated age. But not everyone is entranced. Some critics maintain the department has fuddy duddied endlessly and fallen far behind private industry. It didn't even have a research division until 1958.

Others and this includes the union leaders claim it is pushing too fast, lining up programs without pretesting them. It is obvious that, while rural areas may suffer, mail service between the larger cities should improve. Yet a nagging problem here defies solution. New Yorkers, for example, complain chronically and postal officials don't know what to do about it. New York traffic is so bad mail trucks can't get through either.

The basic question what is good service? has to remain unanswered. Economy in a service organization almost invariably means a curtailment of service.
