Ike Signs Pared-Down Postal Bill
President Eisenhower signed a pared down postal appropriation Monday while warning that mail service would be drastically curtailed by July unless Congress provides more funds. Postmaster General Summerfield announced plans to raise fees on several postal services including special delivery and money orders effective July 1. The administration urged public pressure on Congress to increase postal funding, predicting Americans will not tolerate partial service. The bill totals 3.192 billion for the Post Office, plus 1.470 billion for the Treasury and 1.46 million for the tax court, with a supplemental request around 140 million anticipated. Summerfield said the department will seek savings while expanding efforts to secure funds.
