Mail Subsidy Project Friends of the Plan Hopeful
Washington February 22. An effort to attach a mail subsidy to the post office appropriation bill in the Senate is reported. Supporters argue it mirrors the Frye bill, granting contracts for five to ten years with American crews and ships built for naval conversion, paying per mile and ensuring cost efficiency. Opponents fear long hauls and unfair competition, while House approval remains uncertain and the issue could crash the bill.
