May veto looms on postal pay increase vote
Washington reports the House approved an 8.2 percent postal pay raise for 500,000 workers, costing about 171 million dollars annually, with the Senate tally and presidential veto risk shaping the fate. President Eisenhower previously vetoed a 7 percent increase unless postal rates rose. The vote split largely along party lines, with 17 Democrats and 22 Republicans crossing party lines. The tally fell 52 votes short of the two-thirds needed to override.
