Washington AP report shows the Postal Service posting a 652 million dollar deficit for the year ended Sept 30, with predictions of wider losses for the current year and a swing from a hoped profit in 1979 to a projected 784 million dollar deficit. Chief financial officer Francis X Biglin cites rising injury compensation costs and contemplates service reductions including possible elimination of Saturday deliveries and small post office closures. The agency plans no extra rate hike beyond next spring’s 13 to 16 cent increases and urges Congress and Labor Dept scrutiny of injury pay, while negotiating with unions under an expiring labor contract.
