Ike Signs Big Postal Rate Hike
Ike endorses higher postal charges as Congress approves scale increases for mail and periodicals. The plan raises rates to balance deficits while Congress votes 7.5 to 10 percent raises for federal workers, with the Civil Service move signaling subsequent pay hikes for a million more employees. In Bellflower, motorcycle club members hosted a blood drive after a memorial death, drawing about 150 attendees and 64 donors amid police precautions and subdued turnout.

Knight Ribbed by Foes at California LWV Senate Nomination
At a California League of Women Voters convention, Knight faced ribbing from two opponents for the Republican U.S. Senate bid as other candidates spoke. San Francisco Mayor Christopher condemned Knight’s tax cut stance as political expediency, urging integrity. Alexander Williamson urged voting for Christopher to retire Knight, while Engle backed Democratic leadership and Thygeson urged ending nuclear tests. Zurbach presided as league president.
