First class stamp price rises to 20 cents in November
The Postal Service increased the first class stamp from 18 to 20 cents effective November 1, citing almost 126 million dollars in losses since the 15 cent rate. Other rate hikes include postcard 13 cents, bulk class 45 cents per pound, and a 15.8 cent anti profit bulk rate. The move skips the Rate Commission approval, drawing likely court challenges from mail-using businesses.

Lawmakers say draft registration lax amid weak enforcement
Congress critics say the government delays prosecutions of men who fail to register for the draft. 6.2 million have registered within 30 days of turning 18, while 550,000 to 600,000 did not. Proposals push tougher enforcement as protests grow over unclear administration policy and a shift toward an all volunteer army.

Reagan orders high seas ban on boats with illegal migrants
A Coast Guard push to stop and board vessels outside U S waters within days faces legal challenge from refugee advocates. Tom Stewart of the Justice Department said INS will intercept refugee boats in the Windward Passage, while Haitians’ lawyer Ira Kurzban called the policy impracticable illegal and racist and promised court action. He argued it may violate the 1967 UN refugee protocol protecting those fleeing persecution. The plan demands international cooperation and interpreters aboard cutters as a rapid enforcement step.

New tax cuts ease marriage tax quirks explained
The 1981 tax cut lets 17 million working couples reduce the marriage penalty beginning in 1982 with a deduction on returns due in 1983. In 1982 the deduction is 5 percent of the lower spouse’s income up to 1500, rising to 10 percent or 3000 in 1983, cut remains but relief is substantial for joint earnings like 35000 totaling over 1000 in savings.
