Panel endorses postal bill but critics predict defeat
Washington reports that a House Post Office Committee backed a government postal bill while critics forecast failure. The measure would raise revenues by about 245 million dollars annually by increasing rates on bulk mail and second class mail, with out-of-town first class letters rising to four cents and air mail unaffected. The plan, tied to extending the 10 percent rise in second class mail, would push postal income over six years as rates across several classes shift.
