WASHINGTON I Sen. Olin
D. Johnston (D-SC) said Sunday
Postmaster General Summerfield
erred in claiming large savings in
the Postoffice Department under
the Republican administration.
Johnston quoted Summerfield as
saying that the anticipated deficit
for the current fiscal year ending
June .30 had been cut from 7S2
million dollars to "something in
excess" of 400 million, or a saving
to the taxpayers "of more than a
million dollars every working
day." : f
But, the senator declared in
statement,; the postmaster general
has not made any such saving.
Actually, Johnston said, the Post-
office Department has gained S199,
400.000 from higher rates in the
past year. This included 159 mil
lion from increased parcel post
charges, 24 million on international
postage and $16,400,000 on "such
things as box rents and miscel
laneous fees. : '
Also, the senator said, various
bookkeeping shifts 1 have trans

the biggest of these was $80,665,
