Senate Approves Postal Savings Bank Bill in Major Test
The Senate passes the administration postal savings bank bill by 50 to 22 votes. It authorizes post office money order departments to accept deposits of one dollar or more, place funds in local banks, and invest under presidential withdrawal in war or emergencies. A 2 percent minimum interest is paid, with a 2 percent floor retrieved from banks, while a 4 percent overhead covers expenses and losses. The trust board includes the postmaster general, secretary of the treasury, and the attorney general, with a $500 per depositor limit and $100 monthly cap. It is projected to mobilize large funds, potentially 500 million to 1 billion dollars.
