Postmaster General J Edward Day told a Senate subcommittee that parcel post may end July 1 and Saturday mail deliveries could be suspended. He linked the possible cuts and rate hikes to a $92 million House reduction in the Post Office Treasury appropriation, warning a 25 to 40 percent rate rise would drive away business and worsen the deficit. Virginia Senator A Willis Robertson cautioned that only a fraction of the cuts may be restored.
