Cost of stamps to rise
WASHINGTON (API — The cost of mailing a letter is rising again,
with first-class stamps set to climb to 22 cents next year under a
recommendation by the Postal Rate Commission
The U.S. Postal Service's board of governors could put the higher
rates into effect even sooner, but had indicated previously that it
would need the higher income in early 1965
The commission's proposed rate is a penny short of that requested
by the Postal Service last November, as is the recommendation for a
14-cent charge for post cards
The recommendations released Friday also cover a wide range of
other postal charges for various types of mail, including bulk-rate
advertising, books, magazines and newspapers
Postal Service spokesman D Jamison Cain said his agency had no
immediate comment on the recommendations
Iranian plane hijacked today
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Iran's official news agency reported an
Iranian passenger plane was hijacked today, and there were reports
an Iranian flight was attempting to make an unscheduled landing in
the Persian Gulf kingdom of Dubai
The official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Cyprus,
did not provide details of the reported hijacking.
But sources reached by telephone in the Persian Gulf island
kingdom of Bahrain said there were reports that an unscheduled Ira-
nian flight was attempting to land at Dubai in the United Arab
Emirates and that it may be a hijacked airliner
An Iran Air Airbus was hijacked last Aug. 28 while on a domestic
flight between Shiraz in southern Iran to Tehran. It tried to land in
Kuwait, but was refused permission and was taken by the hijackers
to Iraq
The air bus's 189 passengers and 11 crew members returned to

Suicide ruling hard to accept
DALLAS (AP) <— The family of a prize-winning fisherman who
died of a shotgun blast one day before he was to testify about alleged
bass tournament cheating finds it hard to believe he committed
suicide, his brother said.
"It could have easily been an accident. My brother was to appear
as a witness. He was not afraid of testifying. He had been interview-
ed on several occasions,” James Davis said Friday after the Dallas
Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that Danny Ray Davis shot
himself.
Davis said his younger brother had been in good spirits the day
before he died. He said the family found it hard to accept the suicide
ruling, largely because his brother had been seriously burned in a
transformer explosion about five years ago.
"Danny was in intensive care for about 6 months. He just wanted
to live too bad," said James Davis. "That’s one of the main reasons
the family would have trouble in understanding a suicide ruling."

The president then responded; “I

The incident was similar to one
last month when Nancy Reagan was
heard muttering "doing all we can”
as her husband appeared at a tem-
porary loss to answer a question
about efforts to revive arms talks
with the Soviets.
Reagan then replied: "We’re doing
all we can.”
Shouting over the engine roar of a
Marine Corps helicopter waiting to
head for the presidential retreat at
Camp David, Md., Reagan sought to
clarify his Aug. 23 remarks at a
Republican National Convention
prayer breakfast.
Speaking then, the president said,
“The truth is, politics and morality
are inseparable. And as morality's
foundation is religion, religion and
politics are necessarily related.”
“And what I was saying,” the
president said Friday, "was in the
context that yes, definitely, there is a
connection between morality and
politics and should be — and too
many neglect it.”
He did not refer to his additional
remarks in Dallas that religion and
politics are “necessarily related."

Meese still good choice
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan says Edwin Meese III
is still his choice for attorney general and "barring anything unfore-
seen" the nomination prill be resubmitted to the Senate if he wins a
second term
Reagan told reporters that he has "not changed my mind" about
wanting Meese as the nation's top law enforcment official The presi-
dent's comments came when he was questioned about Friday's sur-
prise announcement that the nomination had been removed from the
Senate Judiciary Committee's agenda by Chairman Strom Thur-
mond. R-S.C.
Thurmond said he feared that election-year politics would in-
terfere with any further consideration of the controversial nomina-
tion The move effectively killed any chance for Meese to win confir-
mation this year because Congress is scheduled to adjourn Oct 5
j pie Senate panel's vote on the nomination had been put on hold in
March, pending the outcome of independent counsel Jacob A. Stein's
investigation into Meese's financial affairs.
With the latest postponement, any further consideration of the
nomination depends upon a Reagan victory in November. All
nominations expire when Congress ends its two-year session, so the
president would be required to resubmit Meese's name for Senate
approval.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Walter F
Mondale, taking the weekend off
after five hectic days of cross-
country campaigning, is putting the
finishing touches on a budget plan
that will include a "Reagan tax" to
slash federal deficits.
Mondale said in Atlanta on Friday
that his plan — first promised when
he accepted the Democratic
presidential nomination in July —
will be made public on Monday in
Philadelphia. He said once again
that higher taxes are needed to curb
the deficit
"As I said in my acceptance
speech. Mr Reagan will raise taxes
and so will I," Mondale said
"What I should have said as well is
that it is not my tax. Really, it's a
Reagan tax because we've got to do
it to get his deficits down It's his
tax.”
Neither Mondale nor his aides

face-to-face debates with Reagan
Campaign aides for both candidates
reported Friday there had been little
progress in their negotiations on the
format and schedule of televised
debates The aides said they would
hold daily meetings next week until
an agreement is reached
Mondale's deficit pledge is to
reduce by two-thirds the red ink that
would result in 1989 from current
economic policies.
The deficit for the current year is
expected to exceed 8170 billion, and
while the Congressional Budget Of-
fice says the red ink will be much
greater in the future, although
Reagan administration officials say
the deficit will shrink
Mondale coupled his announce-
ment about his own budget plan with
another call on Reagan to provide a
plan of his own "I demand that
Ronald Reagan stand up as president
of the United Slates and tell us what
he's going to do to bring those
deficits down."
“You can't run away from these
issues." Mondale added
At a rally in Chattanooga. Tenn .
Mondale said "Mr Reagan refuses
to take responsibility for bringing the
biggest deficit in our history and
refuses to tell us how he plans to
reduce it."
Reagan says he has no plans to
raise taxes, although he adds a presi-
dent should "never say never ."

Reagan clarifies
religious remarks
By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Reagan is attempting to deflect
Walter Mondale's accusation that he
is eroding the constitutional separa-
tion of church and state by using
religion for political gain.
Showing irritation, Reagan accus-
ed reporters and his Democratic op-
ponents Friday of distorting remarks
about religion that he made at a
Dallas prayer breakfast the day he
accepted the Republican presiden-
tial nomination.
“In the sense that I said it in Dallas
— which none of you have correctly
reported — the correct words to use
is there is a wall of separation (bet-
ween church and state),” Reagan
said.
"But some anti-religionists are
trying to break down that wall," he
added.
When asked about Mondale's quip
that he evidently believes "God is a
Republican,” Reagan apparently
took his cue from deputy White
House press secretary Larry
Speakes.
"Do you think that God is a
Republican, as Mondale charges’’” a
reporter asked.
On a tape recording made by ABC
television news, Speakes is heard to
Woman plea bargains in scam
HOUSTON (AP) — A volunteer for a group that contends federal
income tax is unconstitutional has received three years’ probation in
exchange for a guilty plea and an agreement to testify against the
group's leader.
Sarah Ballew, a 47-year-old Freeport woman who had been accus-
ed of preparing at least 3,275 bogus income tax returns as part of a
tax rebellion, was allowed to plead guilty Friday to a single count of
preparing a false return for herself in 1981.
Among other things. Taxpayers United argues income tax is
against the law because paper money is not legal tender. The group
also takes issue with the government’s definition of the terms
"employer” and “income.”
U.S. District Judge Robert O’Conor Jr. agreed to grant probation
to Ms. Ballew after hearing that she has agreed to testify against
David M. Martin.
In return for the plea, all but one count of a 120-count indictment
against her was dropped. O’Conor could have sentenced her to a
maximum of three years in prison.
President Doo-hwan returns
SEOUL. South Korea (AP) — President Chun Doo-hwan returned
from a historic three-day visit to South Korea’s old foe Japan today,
declaring there were new ties between the two pro-Western nations
"based on reconciliation and mutual understanding."
Earlier. Japan pledged to support South Korea's efforts to ease
tensions with Communist North Korea and to seek seats for both
Koreas in the United Nations. The statement of support from
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone was part of a 12-point
communique issued by Japan and South Korea.
In an arrival statement. Chun termed his three-day state visit, the
first ever by a Korean leader to Japan, a success and said he hoped it
would lead toward "a new era of friendship and cooperation."
Before leaving Tokyo, Chun met for farewells with Japanese
Emperor Hirohito and had lunch with Nakasone and his wife.
The communique, translated by the Japanese Foreign Ministry,
said Chun's visit “opens a new chapter" in the turbulent history of
the two countries. _
It did not refer to expressions of regret expressed by both the
83-year-old emperor and Nakasone (or the "unfortunate past" — the
period between 19)0-1945 fn Which Japan harshly ruled the Korean
