Postal Service takes over mail delivery with higher rates
The government moves to a Postal Service operated system with new rate proposals. First class mail would rise from six to eight cents, air mail from 10 to 11 cents, post cards from five to seven cents, and newspapers and magazines would pay more. Bulk mail faces sharp increases while parcel post stays unchanged for now. The reforms aim to make the service self supporting though efficiency gains may follow later.

Preferential Hiring for Negroes in Frederick County?
A reader-supported debate on whether the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners should adopt an affirmative action plan to actively recruit and train Black job applicants, advertise vacancies in both the News-Post and the Afro American, and establish a monthly reporting system. The piece argues the current county hiring favors whites and suggests half of current vacancies and summer positions be filled by Negro applicants, with race listed on applications and ongoing monitoring by the Human Relations Council. It notes 6.7 percent of full time employees are Black, mostly in menial roles, and calls for systemic changes to create an integrated workforce.
