Ike May Let House OK PO Pay Hike Then Veto
The administration admits it cannot block House passage of a $20 million postal pay raise bill today and will rely on a presidential veto to kill it. The plan outfits postal workers with a $546 yearly raise, about 12 percent, excluding rural carriers and fourth class postmasters. Eisenhower opposes across the board raises due to inflation fears, while some Republicans hint they may uphold a veto.
