SEA Seek Action On Postal Measure By B. L. LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON (f—House mem- bers, after rebuffing the Eisenhow- er administration’s bid for higher Postal rates, raced today to force before-adjournment action on a controversial pay raise for half a million Post Office employes, Administration leaders lost out yesterday in an all-or-nothing ef- fort to pass a one-package bill to boost postage charges by 233 mil- lions a year and postal workers’ pay by 5 per cent. Brought ap under procedure re- quiring a two-thirds majority fo approval, the measure mustered & 228-171 vote, 38 short of the need- ed majority. Immediately, enough members signed a petition to force out of a committee pigeonhole an admin- istration-opposed bill to raise postal salaries 7 per cent. Such a petition needs 218 signautr majority of the 435 House members, Rep. Corbett (R-Pa), author of the 7 per cent bill, told newsmen this insures action on a pay bill. Unless GOP leaders decide to go along, however, there was doybt that the bill could be brought to the floor before Congress adjourns. Under House rules, it could not be considered before Aug. 9, and congress is shooting for adjourn- ment by July 31. it be Srl more likely that leaders would call up the admin- istration 5 per cent pay bill that was rejected along with postal rate ses, The Weatherman Says Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy and hot today thru Friday.

STOCK MARKET NEW YORK, (® — The stock market rushed ahead today in ear- ly dealings with sustained vigor. The buying dash was so pro-| nounced that the ticker fell behind | for a few minutes shortly after} the opening. Steels and oils were in heavy demand together with a sizable list of individual issues including American Telephone, That key stock opened on 3,000 shares up °% at 174% and then pushed its gain up another notch. The aircrafts were reactionary | as they were yesterday in the| wake of the cease - fire in Indo- china. Throughout the list, gains and losses spread out over a range of around a point. Higher along with the steels-and | oils were the motors, rubbers, ra- | dio-televisions, tobaccos, electrical | equipments, some of the atomic stocks, railroads and utilities. FILLING STATION HAS NOVEL CUSTOMERS DALLAS (#—A customer really dropped in on a Dallas filling sta-| tion yesterday. Woody Taylor was startled to/ see a small plane swoop over his | station several times, then land on the roadway. The pilot taxied up to the station and asked for five gallons of gasoline, said he was running low after a crop dusting job. He asked directions to an air- port and flew away.

Ques- tions are welcome and should be addressed to Sea Secrets, in care of this newspaper. -Q.—What is spermacetti? A.—This is the commercial name | for the clear oil found within an| immense bag or “‘case’”’ in the front of a sperm whale’s head. When} whalers maké an incision in this) bag (known as “tapping the! ease’), the oil pours forth and in contact with air solidifies into a soft, white wax. One whale may yield as much as 15 barrels of! spermacetti oil. The substance is used in making candles, in the| dressing of fabrics, for medicinal purposes, cosmetics, etc. The function of the “case” is not! known, but it is believed to aid in| lending buoyancy to the whale, as nostrils and so close them when | the whale dives to great depths in search of squid, its natural food. Uusually the left nostril only is functional in the sperm whale, the right nostril passage being divert- ed under and around the sperma- cetti “case’ and joining the left just below the single, off-center blowhole. Q.—What fish lays its eggs on| land? A.—This is the famous grunion, Leuresthes tenuis, one of the| Atherinnid fishes of the California | coast, limited in range from Point Conception southward to the north- ern portion of Lower California. | Near relatives of the grunion are the silversides fishes, which are most commonly used for bait, locally. The grunion is a small fish which deposits its eggs on the beach in summertime, always ap- pearing for this purpose on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th nights after the highest tide of the series at the full of the moon or the new moon. Precisely at 15 minutes after the crest of high tide grunion appear, allowing themselves to be washed ashore as far as possible by the ineoming waves.

Vagish, of Scarsdale, N.Y., were questioned by police. Ne Explanation Madeline did not explain why she wanted to kill herself. All she left was a terse note asking that her mother be notified. Helene, however, left a lengthy letter, which said in part: “Today I die. Not as casually as I should, but then I’ve always been spasmodically violent anyway. I died simply enough because I| haven’t enough life within me to nourish myself through long, long years. Be as kind to yourselves as you have ever heen to me and be as kind to yourselves as I have been cruel. Love Mark and listen to him.”” Mrs. Jacobs, who was given the note, explained tearfully that “Mark” was the girl’s brother, who was in Chicago and “all right.” Helene had been attending sum- mer classes at Columbia Univer- sity. The combination art gallery apartment on East 6th Street off Sth Avenue was lent to her for the summer by the management of the Rose Fried Gallery.

Said the European-owned Straits Times of Singapore: “Half of Indochina is abandoned to Communist domination. The In- dochina agreement ends a war but does not give Southeast Asia peace . .» The stability and security of Asia depend more than ever on an effective organization against ag- gression.’ The Chinese-owned Singapore Standard commented editorially: “The armistice in Indochina brings | peace not only to the peoples of | Indochina but acts as a shield Second Try?

A note by Made- line, hinting at suicide, was found afterward. Despite the lengthy note left by Helene, her father, Chicago attor- ney Joseph Jacobs, told Teporters he could not believe she had taken Part in any suicide pact. Referring to a portion in which she called herself “spasmodically violent,” he said: ’ “That's ridiculous. She was never violent, she never talked or wrote that way. She was a very stable girl . . . one of the best adjusted girls 1 ever met.” He voiced a theory his daughter was asleep and, smelling gas, tried to reach the kitchen and turn off | the jets before she collapsed.
