Senator Johnson pushes Mohair Label Act for truthful fabrics
Senator Lyndon Johnson urges a labeling law to require disclosure of mohair content in fabrics. He argues mohair is often used to stiffen suits and upholstery without clear disclosure and says a federal investigation is needed. Johnson plans a bill similar to Fishers to amend wool labels and has asked the FTC to probe mohair labeling practices.

Penny Postage Changes Hint at 2 Cent Cards and Loss Cuts
A House bill proposes phasing out penny postcards to two cents to curb Post Office Department deficits. It would add about 130 million dollars yearly in revenue but still leave a sizable annual shortfall, though reduced if Hoover Commission recommendations are enacted. The bill also raises second class mail revenue by 15 million per year, with most penny postcards used for business ads. A separate note recalls how In God We Trust originated, tracing its appearance on the 1864 two cent coin during the Civil War.
