Air Mail Loss Deepens Government Costs in Air Service
Washington reports that dropping air mail postage from ten to five cents per ounce has doubled mail carried but left government losses at five to seven million dollars yearly. W Irving Glover, assistant postmaster general, asked Congress for a five million dollar deficiency to sustain air mail this year. He noted pounds carried rose from 214000 to 419000 monthly after the rate cut and warned the service may never be self supporting despite some profitable routes and anticipated lower bids on new routes. He compared the situation to rail mail handling and urged continued support until economy improves.
