|TFTHEN WOODROW WILSON was campaigning for Pres- | ident in 1912, he made a whistle stop at Hannibal, Mo., .and being a great admirer of Mark Twain, slipped away ;from his entourage to wander for a bit among the boyhood haunts of the famous humorist Accosting a native, he asked, “Do you know where Tom Sawyer lived?** “Never heard of him," was the answer. “Well, how about Huck Finn?” persisted Wilson. “Never heard of him nuther,” declared the native. - Wilson made one more tfy. “How about Pudd’nhead Wilson?” he inquired. The native’s face brightened. “I heard of him, all right," he said cheerfully. “In fact I may even vote for the durn foot” * • • They try to make life as simple as possible for American tourists in Ankara.

Special Session May Be Called

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Governor Branigin said Wednesday he had reached no decision on a possible special session of the legislature to deal with the unsettled issue of congressional redistricting in Indiana. Branigin, in his first news conference since returning from a Florida vacation Monday, said he would confer with leaders of both parties before reaching any decision on a special session. “It is useless and Idle to call one unless it is geared to accomplish something,’’ Branigin said. The legislature adjourned last month without reaching a solution to the districting problem. A three-judge federal panel had ruled that the 1965 law fixing the 11 congressional districts was unconstitutional because it did not follow the U. S. Supreme Court’s “one-man-one-vote” ruling. If congressional districts are not fixed to meet federal standards by the 1968 elections, Indiana’s 11 congressmen face the prospect of running at large. Branigin said incumbents running at large instead of by dis-

tricts could lose their congressional seniority. The governor said the seniority was a “value to a state regardless of the party” and that seniority was an effective “instrument for a state.” Branigin said he would not be afraid to call a special session even If lawmakers announced intentions to override bills he had vetoed last month. "Vetoes would have nothing to do with a decision to call a special session.” he said. The governor can call a special session but has no control over what the lawmakers do.

Approve Site WASHINGTON UPI — The House Interior Committee Wednesday approved a Senatepassed bill to establish the John Fitzgerald Kennedy national historic site at the modest frame house in Brookline, Mass., where the late President was born. The bill is expected to be approved quickly in the House so the family can transfer the property to the government in time for the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s birth May 29.

Johnson Asks For Postal Rate Increase

WASHINGTON UPI — President Johnson asked Congress Wednesday for an across-the-board postal rate increase that would boost first class mail by a penny to six cents and air 'mail by the same amount to nine cents. Johnson coupled the postal hike request with a recommendation for a 4.5 per cent pay Increase for civilian government workers and military personnel at a cost of $1 billion a year. The proposed mail increase would take effect July 1 under Johnson’s plan. The pay increase would begin Oct. 1 if the legislation is approved. The President, in calling for

the postal rate increases, said they would cost mail users an additional $700 million in the 1968 fiscal year which starts July 1 and $800 million a year thereafter. But he noted that the Post Office Department deficit for fiscal 1968 would be about $1.2 billion even without the pay increase he recommended. “The pay and postal rate increases I recommended in this message are essential if we are to have a government of responsive and talented people and an efficient postal system,’’ Johnson told the House and Senate.

“Delay in enacting the postal rate increase I request will hamper significantly our efforts to build a modern and efficient postal system.” Johnson made no mention of a suggestion by Postmaster

General Lawrence F. O’Brien two days ago that the Post Office Department be abolished as a cabinet agency and converted into a non-profit government corporation order to promote efficiency.
