Postage Rate Fight Narrowly Backs Four Cents Local Mail
Congress likely approves a four-cent local postage rate as conferees rebuff a five-cent out-of-town rise. The House and Senate back four-cent local mail with the House proposing a one-cent out-of-town increase while the Senate favors five cents. Senator Monroney notes a Senate coalition backing the House compromise with Easter recess opposition to higher rates. Postmaster Summerfield calls the administration’s plan a payroll-boosting treasury raid while praising the temporary pause for business users. Conference talks resume to finish the bill and move to final action.
