Senate rejects proposal to cut second class rates to 1920 level
The Senate rejected a proposal to cut second class mail rates to 1920 levels as part of the postal pay rate bill. The Oddie plan would set advertising portions at two to eight cents by zone while weight limits on third class matter were eased from eight to four ounces. The amendment failed 43 to 36, paving the way for rate increases and a 1920-rate trial for newspapers. The body also defeated a move to apply 1920 rates only to newspapers, and retained two cent per pound second class rate for the first two zones. The Senate then adopted a rider to the postal salaries bill omitting campaign expenditures by congressional candidates.
