Costly morale mail prompts wartime postal plea in New Jersey
Linda Galpardi 20 of Fort Lee writes air mail letters and packages to Pvt John Riley in Viet Nam. By year end she plans 365 letters and two dozen large packages, costing about 150 dollars in postage, fueling a nationwide push to eliminate postal charges for servicemen. She and 2,000 signers press Congress and Lady Bird Johnson for relief, while officials see little backing for such a bill.
