Mail Rate Hike Seems Doomed in House
The Eisenhower administration’s bid to raise postal rates to cut a large deficit faced likely defeat in the House after talks with Postmaster General Summerfield. GOP leaders privately predicted no rate increases this year, while Democratic leaders echoed that view. The plan would have raised most rates including a one cent increase on the 3 cent letter. President Eisenhower urged higher rates to save the Postal Service from large annual losses. The House Appropriations Committee had proposed rate increases in approving a bill of over 3.6 billion dollars for the next fiscal year, which the House sent to the Senate.
