Postal surplus could avert postage hike next year
The Postal Service reports a 15 million surplus for the quarter ended September, boosting hope no mailing rate increase will occur in 1977. Postmaster General Benjamin Ballard says ongoing cost cuts and a reduced payroll helped reverse quarterly deficits, though a 500 million loss is still anticipated for fiscal 1977. Labor leaders caution about methods used to achieve savings and warn of impact on workers as routes and positions are eliminated.

Washington AP reports the Supreme Court may decide if a medical school may reject a white student with higher scores than minority students admitted under a special program.
