WASHINGTON (IP) —Rep. James C. Davis (D- Ga.) predicted yesterday the House will reject the! Senate's proposed 5-cent rate for  mailing  out-of-town  letters.
Davis, high-ranking member of the House Post Office Com¬ mittee, said he got "a general] impression of strong opposition" among House members.
Rep, Edward H, Rees (Kan.) senior Republican on the com-! mittee, .said he found increasing j supp>ort for the 5-cent stamp.    ]
Tlie House last year approved a  4-cent  charge  for both  local and  out-of-town   letters. To House Tuesday
The Senate's package bill to increase postage rates and po.stal workers' pay is expected to be submitted to the House Tuesday or Wednesday. Leaders have been waiting to bring it up when Rep, Tom Murray (D-'Tenn,) chairman of the Post Office Committee, returns, Murray has been hospitalized with a back injury.
Both Davis and Rees agreed in interviews that the House will send the bill to joint conference committee. It would be charged with settling differences be¬ tween the Senate's version and the postage-only bill passed by the House last year.

Paul Revere Is Honored Again; Sam Frescott Forgotten—^Igoin
WASHINGTON (W — The govemment yesterday gave Paul Revere another posthu¬ mous pat on the back—and, as usual, forgot about poor Sam Prescott.
The Post Office Depart¬ ment announced it would is¬ sue a 25-cent green stamp honoring Revere and his fa¬ mous ride to warn the Massa¬ chusetts countryside that the British Redcoats were coming.
The department said the new stamp would go on sale first at Boston April 18—the 183rd anniversary of Revere's
Now, as every schoolboy knows. Revere's place in his¬ tory was assured the day William Wadsworth Longfel¬ low sat down and penned:
"Listen my children and you shall hear
"Of   the   midnight   ride   of Paul  Revere . . ." Poem Not Quite Right
But what lots of schoolboys don't know is that Longfellow perpetrated one of history's most  unjust oversights.
Revere stood "booted and spurred' on the Charlestown, Mass., shore all right. And when two lights appeared in tha tower of the Old North
Church, the patriotic Boston silversmith galloped off to warn the countryside the Red¬ coats were coming by sea to burn the military stores at Concord.
But—despite what Longfel¬ low said—he never reached "every Middlesex village and farm" as the poem says. At Lfexington he blundered into some British troops who didn't think he was out delivering silver ale pots at that hour of the morning. Prescott Got Through
Revere's ride ended in a cornfield.
Fortunately, Dr, Sam Pres¬ cott was in Lexington that night courting a local belle. By luck he was able to evade the British and pound to Con¬ cord  with  the alarm.
But when asked al>out Sam, a post office spokesman said department files indicated no one has even requested that a stamp be put out in his honor.
"You just never think of Mr.  Prescott," she said.
However, she said, the new stamp would honor Revere for. Ijeing a "great American hero" and not merely for his midnight gallop.

Mart Serttenced For Map Theft
PITTSBURGH (IP — Emanuel Lester, 33, a New York promot¬ er, was convicted yesterday of conspiracy to transport stolen Gulf Oil Corp, exploration maps across state lines and sentenced to three years in a federal prison.
The President made no men¬ tion of a possible tax cut as he did at his Wednesday news con¬ ference. He said then that it was a possibility if other anti¬ recession measures fell short of their goal.
Press Secretary James C. Hag¬ erty said this omission did not mean it is not being studied.
Here is a breakdown of the new spending announced or proposed today:
—A $2,000,000 dollar increase in civil works projects by the Army Engineers, improvement of national park roads and fa¬ cilities, and road-building and maintenance work by the Bu¬ reau of Indian Affairs.

Old Bellringing Record Stands; B'Man Team Unable to Finish
MADISON, Wis. (IPt—Three re¬ tarded children virtually were held prisoner for seven years in an unheated attic while their four normal brothers and sis¬ ters had the "run of the house" police said yesterday.
The three youngsters were forced, police said, to live on a diet of bread, milk, water and cereal once a day. They received their only "decent meal" at a school which they were allowed out of the house to attend, po¬ lice said.
The mother of the youngsters, 12, 14 and 15, admitted their story of hardship and filth was true, police said. But they added that she was "unable to give any reason for her treat¬ ment of the children.'"
Police said, however, that the mother revealed she was "re¬ lieved" that someone was going to take care of the two boys and a giri.
Charges were withheld pend¬ ing an investigation.
