Court Fight Threatened To Block Postal Service Cutbacks
Washington April 6 Postmaster General Summerfield faces a court fight if he proceeds with cuts to mail service without extra funds. The Third Class Mail Users Association threatens a federal restraining order unless Congress provides 47 million dollars. Cuts planned for April 13 include closing post offices and other costs, risking thousands of workers and a billion-dollar impact on business. The association notes no authority to slash mail categories. Rep. Taber questions legality but sees Justice Department scrutiny as decisive. Court Page 10.
