House Unit Backs Higher Postal Rates for 1957
The House Appropriations Committee approved a 1957 postal funding package totaling 3.618 billion for the Post Office, Treasury, and Tax Court and recommended higher postage rates to reflect true service costs. President Eisenhower had asked for 3.0 billion for the Post Office, 648.5 million for Treasury, and 1.365 million for the Tax Court, with a deficit projected at about 47 million. The committee trimmed requests by 31.272 million and noted costs from air subsidies mischarged elsewhere. The panel plans talks with Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield next week and also urged automatic minimum penalties for check forgery and counterfeiting, aligning with narcotics-era penalties.
