New York By STEVEN GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPD-Uie last major obstacle in Congress to a postal rate increase apparently has been removed by reported agreement between the administration and Sen Olin Johnston D-SC This was expected to enable passage next year of legislation raising the first class letter rate from four to five cents the air mail postage from seven to eight cents and increasing other rates Informed sources said today the administration had agreed to Johnstons demand that the Post Office Department stop including in its huge operating deficit so-called service charges for handling non-postal functions The administration is likely to ask for about $590 million in new postal rates Johnston chairman of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee previously has blocked all such efforts because erf the dispute over service charges To placate Johnston the administration was reported to have agreed that die service charges should be transferred from the Post Office Department to the General Fund of the Treasury The administration has indicated it will propose that about $250 million be deducted from the Post Office Department deficit as allowances for public service costs These service charges include such non-postal activities as the issuance of duck hunting stamps and handling of other duties free for other government agencies Pet Porker Prefers The Softer Notes By RALPH MONCRIEF DALLAS Tex (NEA)-If you should happen to think of a wild boar you might envision a most ferocious beast or a centerpiece with an apple in his mouth But you would never dream of meeting him face to face outside a zoo in a cosmopolitan city like Dallas But lets take the case of Por Willis Po is a wild boar and he lives in the big city of Dallas Fortunately as yet he doesn't fully realize that boars are supposed to be wild although he is plenty rough with everybody except his 13-year-old mistress Noma Willis Po who is about eight months old was captured as a baby on a ranch in south Texas He was given to Nomas dad and then passed on to her Right away Po found that taking baths is a must in the Willis home so today he probably is the sweetest-smelling hog in Texas Since becoming urbanized Po gets his bristles brushed daily and his nails painted a bright shining red But he will not stand still for a ribbon on his head Because of his soft living Po has put on about 75 pounds since coming to the city He also has developed an ear for piano music He loves his notes soft sweet and gentle and he will drift off into dreamland after a few bars (With or without music it is not unusual for him to nap with Noma) But if the music gets too loud he will try to eat the ivory off the keys He doesnt like the racket Another thing Po doesnt like is

and Friday Policy Briefing Scheduled On Indian Invasion WASHINGTON (UPI) Secretary of State Dean Rusk was called to give senators a hush-hush policy briefing today on Indias invasion of Portuguese Goa that has caused a flare of anti-Nehru reaction Rusks appearance this afternoon before members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was scheduled without announcement It came as some members branded the Indian military action reprehensive outrageous naked aggression While Goa was expected to be the chief topic at the session members also were concerned about Indonesias threat to liberate West New Guinea and the situation in the Congo Sen William Fulbright D-Ark committee chairman was pictured as anxious to avoid the impression that Rusks informal briefing signified some major policy development Only a half-dozen members of his committee were in the capital and others were not summoned for the closed-door meeting While most members vehemently denounced Indias move against Goa Sen Hubert Humphrey D-Minn stressed that the substitute for use of force would have been a prompt solution of the colonial problem raised by continued Portuguese rule in Goa Humphrey told UPI: Its regrettable that India used force particularly when the example has a way of spreading disorder and violence But you cannot have enclaves of colonialism in great countries We wouldnt tolerate one here in America I doubt that we would tolerate an enclave of Spanish rule on the California coast or one of British rule on our east coast The question is how do you resolve the issue and force is surely
