'Postal and other federal 1 workers, who have no way of ! negotiating directly with their j employers and who do not have the right to strike, must depend entirely on public understanding of their problems and support ' for their objectives, Rose said, i He added that the public is in-1 vited to the rally.

Postal Rate Hike Said Badly Needed Washington (U.R) Deputy Postmaster General Maurice H. Stans has warned that the Post Office may go into the red SI ! billion annually unless postal 1 rates are hiked. ! Stans recommended to a j House Appropriations Subcom mittee that the cost of mailing a I first class letter be raised from three, to five cents to help over-1 come the postal deficit. The sub-1 committee made Stans' testi mony public Sunday night. Stans aid the Post Office will j operate at a deficit of S651 mil- j lion next year. He said that with 1 a pay raise for postal workers likely, and the costs of improv ing the service expected to mount, the deficit will jump to between S750 million to SI bil lion annually "in the very near future." Any increase in first class mailing rates probably will run 1 into stiff congressional opposi tion. A bill for a one-cent rate increase died in the Senate last year.
