Washington AP reports early Democratic resistance to President Nixon's plan to raise the first class stamp from 6 to 10 cents. Senator Gale McGee opposes the 10 cent rate as unconscionable while noting funding needs from wage increases and postal reforms. The plan links stamp hikes to revenue from other mail types and estate tax changes to support a 1971 federal pay deal.
