Washington June 21. House Republican leaders say no postal rate increase this year and the three cent first class rate will stay. They dropped plans for a general rise due to time constraints before adjournment next month. Chairman O Rees introduced a bill to keep current rates until a permanent measure is enacted.

Work Continues at Rubber Plant Institute
George H. Graham, plant manager of U S Rubber Co at Institute, said a presidential directive requiring one third synthetic rubber would not affect his plant immediately. He noted only a national policy favoring natural rubber could close the Institute synthetic plant, the largest of its kind, and expected action later this year. An Associated Press dispatch said Rep Hedrick warned the Institute plant could close unless the order is changed. The special rubber control act, effective April 1, gives President Truman power to regulate rubber distribution until a national policy is set.
