Postage rates rise beginning today under new Congress approved plan
The new postal rates take effect at midnight, with a penny rise on letters and postcards, five cents for first class letters, four cents for regular postcards, and eight cents for airmail letters. The hike targets about 260 million dollars in revenue this year and 578 million in 1964, aiming toward a near balanced budget in 1965. A key public benefit is that stamp booklets will revert to their face value of one or two dollars, and new basic stamps feature a five cent Washington and an eight cent airmail jet over the Capitol.
