Hays Seeks Reforms to Boost Postal Savings Bank
Postmaster General Hays urges reform of the Postal Savings system to raise deposits and profits. The Steenerson bill would lift interest to 3 percent, raise maximum deposits to 3000, remove age limits, allow trust accounts, and end deposit seeding with bonds. Administrative changes aim to expand access to over 6,300 offices, revise interest accrual, and promote deposits among children and foreigners. Depositors with $50 or more would receive a leather pocketbook replacing paper envelopes.
