Harder for blocking it Whether or not next session of Congress makes decision it will cost 4 cents to mail a 3-cent let ter, with other postal rates In creased accordingly, is still c moot question. While the House has passed a bill authorizing such an in crease, It still has to be acted upon In the Sen-. -ate. And there! is a substantial question as to. whether It win, go through next j session, or for' that matter.i any session In the near future. If the raise does not go hrniioh credit should perhaps be given to Kep. Rhodes of Pennsylvania, who really put over a very sound and solid roadblock. Rep. Rhodes is author of an amendment which would prohibit the Post Office from subsidizing any big magazine publisher more than $100,000 in any one year. One of the biggest single losses Incurred by the postal service is handling the big magazines as second class mail, operating vir tually as unpaid carrier boys for these publishers. Or as Rep. Rhodes figures it, it ' costs the Post Office $9.4 million per year to handle Life, $6 mil lion for the Saturday Evening Post, $5.4 million for Look. Under his amendment, if a general postal rate Increase goes through, these publishers, and others, will pay the difference what It costs the service to han dle their magazines over $100,000 per year. He estimates this would raise another $38 to $40 million Nillonil rtdertllon of Indfpfndnt Bmlnwi per year which is now being Dome oui oi taxes. So, all of a sudden, this postal raise matter becomes a very hot potato. It is almost a certainty the big magazine publishers will resist losing the big subsidy they now receive. And some of them are not without considerable influ ence In Washington, even to the extent of getting ambassador ships for their wives. But on the other hand, Con gress cannot well afford to tell the country that it intends to con tinue subsidizing with taxpayer's money some of these huge maga zines who get as much as $37,000 for a single page in a single issue from the big corporations who can afford to advertise In these publications. In fact, the nation's indepen dent businessmen, voting through the National Federation of Inde pendent Business, have already gone on record as opposing the idea of indiscriminate raises in postal rates Inasmuch as small business generally is quite de pendent upon low cost postal service. Thus, an increase of 33!i on regular first class postage, while the big magazines continue draw ing what is tantamount to a sub sidy, is not calculated to bring out the brass bands on Alain Street to celebrate such a move. It's quite possible that rather than let such a brannigan get onto the floor, the bill will be allowed to quietly die in a Sen ate committee next session, too. . But If it does get to the floor, it could be one of the must inter esting Congressional battles in some time. As they say in cur rent jargon, Rep. Rhodes has really thrown quite a curve.
