U.S. Plans Missile
Launched Nuclear Test
WASHINGTON — The Ignited
States plans to sot off another
missile-launched nuclear test miles
above the Pacific on Sunday or
Monday.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced Wednesday that a sub
megaton device — of less force
than a million tons of TNT —
would be triggered at an altitude
of “tens of kilometers."
A kilometer is .62 of a mile
which would out detonation a’
somewhere above six miles.
The AF.C did not specify {hat
the device would be carried aloft
by a missile but all the previous
high altitude tests attempted in
the Johnston Island range have
beer with Thor missiles.
The largest successful shot was
of more than a megaton in power
and was exploded more than 200
milt s high.
That nasstve therm ’nuclear ex
plosion was visible for thousands
of miles, temporarily disrupted
communications arid created a ra
diation belt ringing the earth that
has damaged at least satellites.
The weekend test would be the
30th announc ’d in the series which
began April 25.

McNamara Says U.S.
Must Stop Smaller Scale
Forms of Red Aggression
WASHINGTON l/P — Secretary
of Defense Robert McNamara says
the United States has plenty of
nuclear deterrent power but must
dir more to meet smaller scale
forms of Communist aggression.
Noting that U.S. nuclear might
"did not deter the Communist in
vasion of Korea nor the Commu
nist drive for domination in South
east Asia" McNamara said the
United States must maintain con
ventional forces strong enough to
deter or smash any attack.
In a speech to the annual din
ner of the Assn, of the U.S. Army,
McNamara said the Army in par
ticular "must expand and diversify
; nd modernize itself to deal with
a wide range of counter insurgency
• nd limited war situations.”
■\ Defense Department spokes
m said later that McNamara did
not mean to suggest that the Army
will be increased beyond its pre
re it 960,000 men. Instead, the
mokesman said, he was talking
about e x p a n d e d anti-guerrilla
forces.
Ticking off U.S. nuclear capa
bilities, the Secretary said “we
no reason to fear the Soviet rocket
rattlers.”
He cited a growing fleet of
Polaris missile-firing submarines,
more than 100 Intercontinental
Ballistic Missiles and hundreds of
bombers on ground alert.

Hill Boosting
Postage Rates
WASHINGTON W — President
Kennedy Thursday signed a bill j
raising postage rates, and boost- j
ing salaries for more than a mil
lion federal employes.
Kennedy hailed it as an impor
tant step toward putting the postal
system on a self-sustained basis
and making federal jobs more at
tractive.
Among the changes: First class
mail will cost five cents, air mail
eight cents beginning next Jan. 7.
The legislative package signed
into law combines two of Ken
nedy's major legislative proposals
—pay increases and salary reform
for 1.6 million federal workers,
and new revenue to help am the
deficit-ridden postal service.
The pay section of the bill calls
for two-step raises averaging 9.6
per cent for 1 million "white col
lar” workers, and 11.2 per cent
for 600.000 postal clerks and letter
earners.
The first step goes into effect
next payday, the second step on
Jan. 1. 1964. Cost of the increase
will be $1.05 billion.
The new postal rates — chiefly
a one-cent increase in first class
and airmail stamps, with smaller
! increases for second and third
class users — are intended to bring
in $600 million in new revenue
after three years.
The new first class and airmail
rates begin Jan. 7. 1963, but most
of the second and third class in
creases are spread over three years.
Second class users — mostly
magazine and newspaper publish
i rs — will have their mailing costs
increased by $27.4 million chiefly
through three annual increases of
4 per cent.
New third class rates will bring
an increase from 2V-z cents per
niece of bulk advertising mail to
27x cents after three years.
The rate for a single piece of
third class mail goes up from 3
cents to 4 cents, bringing in an
additional $34.5 million. This is
the class used by those who send
Christmas cards with the envelopes
unsealed.

Stepovich Accuses
JFK Administration
Of “Dragging Its Feet"
ANCHORAGE up — Mike Stepo
vich. Republican candidate for
governor, Thursday accused the
Kennedy administration of draft
ping its feet in taking effective
steps to curtail foreign fishing
off Alaska’s shores.
Commenting on a trip to Kodiak
by Gov. Wm, Egan and three fed
eral officials to observe first-hand
Russian trawling activities off Ko
diak Island. Stepovich said in a
statement:
“It is sheer hypocrisy for these
officials to pretend they are alarm
ed by the situation, when they have
not done the one thing that would
take the profit out of these foreign
fleet fishing operations in Alaska
waters.”
Stepovich termed the Kodiak
visit by Egan and the federal of
ficials. headed by William Herring
ton. Asst. Undersecretary of State
for Fisheries and Wildlife, as a
“gesture aimed at Alaska voters,
not foreign fishermen.”
Egan, Herrington and the rest
of their party observed Russian
trawlers working in the Gulf of
Alaska off the southwest side of
Kodiak Island Wednesday, from
the decks of the Coast Guard cut
ter Storis.
Egan’s office declined comment
on Stepovich’s statement.
“The Kennedy administration
can take effective steps anytime it
wants to curtail this foreign fish
ing off Alaska’s shores.” Stepo
vich said.
“All we have to do is place an
embargo on the imports of fish or
crab caught by these fleets.
“President Kennedy recently
lifted an embargo on imports of 1
Russian crabmeat. That allowed j
the Russians to import their crab
meat into the U.S. and obtain dol- j
lar credits for the purchase of ma- j
chinery and other equipment they |
must buy from us.
“Of course, they will catch our !
crab. We, ourselves, made it pro
fitable for them to do so.
“The same thing applies to Ja- j
panese high seas fishing of Bristol
Bay salmon.
“The Japanese don’t eat this ;
salmon. They sell it in the U.S. for
dollar credits. Cut off their market
and they’ll have little use for their
large pack of salmon.
“But, our own State Department
has opposed a measure to embargo
Japanese salmon imports.”
