The Thanks to New Postal Rates One-Cent Enjoying nr associated phkss The one-cent postage stamp, a nearly forgotten relic, was back in large-scale use Tuesday. That's because it takes five cents worth of postage now to send a letter first class and eight cents for air mail. People who had four-cent and seven- cent stamps needed the one centers to meet the new re quirements. When the new postal rates went into effect Monday, Syra cuse, N. v., post offices sold more than 500,000 one-cent stamps. This compared with the normal daily sale of 10,000. Utilities Bid For Power PORTLAND Wl Public pow er agencies arc willing to lake all tho power that can bo pro duced at the llimford nuclear power project, a public power spokesman disclosed Tuesday. The spokesman, Owen W, Hurd, managing director of the Washington Public Power Sup ply System, said private utilities or industries still could get into the act, if they act by Thursday. That Is the deadline for com mitments of the power to come from Han ford. Hurd said public agencies have offered In take all the pow er available. The private utili ties and industries, however, arc entitled to 50 per cent of the power, if they bid for it. Kurd said invitations were sent to 10 industries and 7 private utilities, but the only responses came from 17 public utility districts, 10 municipali ties and 24 rural electric co-operatives. Hurd said it will be next week before the agencies and their shares of the plant's output will be announced. The Washington Public Power Supply System will finance con struction of the Hanford power plant through revenue bonds. Seattle disclosed Monday night that it is one of the mu nicipalities seeking some of the power. The City Council ap proved i proposal to seek 10 per cent of llanford's power.

B&M has reduced fares an average of 30 per cent and almost doubled its daily run of trains. Stamp Comeback Baltimore posloffices were hit for about three million one centers and special messengers were sent to Washington for three or four million more. "Christmas was mild com pared to this," said Louis Cap Ian, a Baltimore postal window clerk for 38 years. An enterprising, Lincoln, Neb., resident beat the postal hike deadline, sending out 200 four-cent letters marked: "Do not open until Christmas, 1963." Columbus, Ohio, mailmen picked up 38,000 letters Sunday night before the midnight deadline compared with the usual, 8,000. Postal officials said a lot of letter receivers will have to pay an extra penny for four-cent letters posted after the dead line. The postmen predicted many won't be happy about hav ing to go to the postoffice to get such letters if they aren't i home when the postman comes. In Monday's first pickup of 20,000 letters in Dallas, Tex. about half failed to carry the new postage. At Boston's main postoffice, people lined up 40 and 50 deep at six stamp windows. In Salt Lake City, the stamp line stretched out into the street. In Washington, the Post Of fice Department canvassed its major offices throughout the nation and reported that "the transition has been remarkably smooth, for which we can thank the press and the public."

But they will continue fin ing themselves for selling too many tickets for a flight. The controversial "no-show" penalty, which levied a $5 to $40 fine on passengers who neither showed up nor canceled their tickets, will die Feb. 1, eight months after it started. But the airlines agreed to continue paying fines to passen gers who hold reserved space but are "bumped" from a flight because the airline has over booked it. A Civil Aeronautics Board spokesman said Monday that all 11 major domestic carriers have filed an agreement extending the overbooking penalty indefi nitely after its present expira tion date of Feb. 1. The agree ment made no mention of the "no-show" penalty, which ends the same date. Industry spokesmen gave four main reasons for the death of the plan: Some airlines refused to continue the plan unless the local service carriers partici pated, which they refused to do. Not all the major airlines were in favor of the plan to begin with. Most airlines said the pen alty reduced "no-shows" from about 10 per cent of all passen gers to 5 per cent, but several felt the cost of administering it outweighed the revenues. Most of tho carriers found passengers frequently irate about the penalty, resulting in collection difficulties and ill will. rm i f ir 1 nil' v VISIT DUNHAM MOTORS, INC. 13th & Oak DI 5-3324 Eugene, Ore.
