U S Willing To Cut Troops If Reds Will
The House Appropriations Committee urged the Post Office Department to live within reduced funds, slicing 16 million dollars from the request for extra 149.5 million to supplement 3.192 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The panel called several curtailments desirable, including zoning second and third class mail, reducing star route service to once daily where feasible, suspending money orders in some offices, trimming Saturday service, and reexamining city delivery amid the end of the five day work week. Postal officials indicated the House would likely back the cuts when considering the new money bill next week.
