House Passes , )
Bill to Increase
Postal Rates
Still Has to Pass
Hurdle in Senate
WASHINGTON, UB-^Stamped
with House approval, a bill to in
crease postal rates $430,100,100 a
year was ready Saturday for de
livery to the Senate. Whether it
will be re-addressed there to the
White House was anyone’s guess.
One top-ranking member of the
Senate Post Office Committee
predicted privately the bill would
be routed into the Senate’s dead
letter office.
But others recalled that the
Senate in 1952—also an election
year—overrode objections of its
committee and voted to boost first
class and airmail rates by the
same one cent amount provided
in the pending bill. The 1952 pro- ,
posal died in the House.
Solid GOP Backing
The House Friday passed the
increase 217-165 with solid Re
publican backing plus aid from
some southern Democrats. TRie
action was a victory for President
Eisenhower and his administra
tion, which since 1953 has sought
rate increases to offset postal def
icits running as high as a half
billion dollars a year.
Bulk of the increase is repre
sented by the boost from 3 to 4
cents in the one ounce rate for
first class mail. It would account
for $295,700,000 of the total an
nual revenue increase.
Airmail 7<*
In addition, the bill also would
raise the rate on airmail letters
from 6 to 7 cents.
Second class mail rates appli
cable to newspapers and other
commercial publications would
increase over a five-year period
to a total of $44 V4 million.
At the end of that period the
total increase would be approxi
mately 30 percent of the reading
portion of the publication and 120
percent on its advertising.
Second class mail would carry
a minimum charge of V* cent per
item instead of the present Vfe
cent each.
