C. W. 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.

newspapers, James F. Johnson,
director of the state Department
of Motor Vehicles, has announ
ced. The decision to publish the list
was made, Johnson said, because
of the number of people who con
tinue to drive in violation of
suspension orders.
"This type of driver is a very
dangerous type on the highway
because he obvioussly has no
feeling of responisbility," John
son said.
He pointed out that publica
tion was not desired for reasons
of penalty to unlawful drivers
but rather to protect the maj
ority who are safe, responsible
drivers.
The department hopes to start
publishing the list in mid-November.
Other states publish sim
ilar listings, Johnson said.
