Senate approves 10 percent postal pay raise amid veto threats
The Senate backed a 10 per cent raise for about 300000 postal workers, despite president Eisenhower's veto risk. The House rejected a rule to allow floor amendments, blocking a 7.6 per cent compromise. Leaders said the move set a pattern for civil service raises but timing remained uncertain. The proposal would raise minimum pay to at least 4100 a year and restore a $4,000 floor, with senior officials and supervisors benefiting more. Republicans argued the action overreached executive branch limits.

Taxes Seen As Hottest Issue Of This Session
In Washington on March 31 the Senate moved to push a broad business tax overhaul toward floor action. The measure would repeal deductions for certain estimated future expenses and delay tax payments on income from future services, a plan critics say benefits a few while widening tax relief for firms. Republicans argued Democrats drum up claims to sway the 1958 elections, while House leaders hailed the gains as a windfall for industry and taxpayers. The vote to send the bill to the Senate for debate followed unanimous approval in the chamber.
