Congress Drops Postal Hike in Final Session Push
Congress killed the postal rate bill as it hurried to adjourn while approving other Eisenhower priorities. The House cleared the foreign aid bill of 3.766 billion dollars for Senate action and passed a Social Security reform raising early retirement ages. The Senate approved military construction funding but blocked housing, and an admissions tax cut on movie tickets moved forward. The vetoed defense-authorization language was dropped in a reapproved measure. The failed postal measure would have raised letter postage from 3 to 4 cents.

Charge Against Shaw Not lth Hour Move, Hall Claims
Kansas Governor Fred Hall denied on WIDDAF TV last night that his charge against Warren W. Shaw, Republican opponent and Shawnee County Republican chairman, was an eleventh hour move. Hall alleged Shaw took one cent per gallon kickbacks from gas dealers on state purchases. Shaw dismissed the accusation as a political tactic to confuse the campaign. Hall said the issue would dominate the remainder of the primary, while defending his veto of a right to work bill and noting labor leaders’ support for the veto.
