Beginning this morning, it costs
five cents to mail the letter we
formerly mailed for four cents.
It costs four cents to mail the
card we formerly mailed for
three cents. It costs eight cents
for the air mail letter that for
merly went for seven cents.
In other words, anything post-j
marked alter midnight Sunday
must carry a penny more than be
fore on first class and air mail
letters and post cards.
But
You will say
Thats only a PENNY more
than before. What, in these mod
ern days, does a penny amount
to?
Wait a minute.
An up of a penny on the letter
you formerly mailed for four
cents is an increase of 25 PER
CENT. An up of a penny on the
card you formerly maild for
three cents is an incrcasa of thirty-three
and a third per cent. In
cidentally, an increase of a pen
ny in the air mail letter you
formerly mailed for seven cents
is an increase of only 14 per
cent.
Which is to say:
These new rates, small as they
are on the individual unit, are
expected to add $459 million
annually to post office revenues.
A small increase on a HUGE
volume of business runs into
quite a little money.
Question:
Will this increase of $459 mil
lion in postal revenues (just un
der HALF A BILLION dollars in
total', by reducing the deficit in
the post office department,
di.ee our taxes?
It seems reasonable that it I
should. But it is quite probable
that it WON'T. One suspects that
our government will just SPEND
MORE.

By no means.
Listen to this:
In 1789, when the first rates
were fixed, it cost six cents to
send a letter UP TO 30 MILES,
and the price went up for longer
distances to a maximum of 25
cenls for more than 450 miles.
If that rate had remained in
force until the present day. it
would cost us two bits to send
an ordinary letter to San Fran
cisco.
But
You ain't heard nothin' jet.
W hen the famous Pony Express
which carried a letter from St.
Joseph. Mo to Sacramento, Cal.,
in nine days went into service it
cost FIVE DOLLARS to send a
half-ounce letter.

rate continued until the first trans

"But I don't know whether they

that the bombers flew into the

WASHINGTON L.PI-Starting

The reason: postal rate nines

cost of mailing a letter or post
card rose by a penny, making Hie
new rates:
Five cents for first class let
ters.
Four cents for regular post

Kennedy's first big battle will
be fought on opening day when
die House decides whether to
hand control of its legislative ma
chinery to a conservative coali
tion. A conservative triumph.
Kennedy feels, would "emascu
late" his legislative program.
Administration forces are fa
vored to win by a razor-thin mar
gin, but the outcome is uncertain.
The senators also will become
embroiled at the outset in a rules
fight. Senate liberals hope to
tighten up the Senate's curbs
against filibusters. Again, the out
come is uncertain and the battle
could go on for weeks.
Within two weeks aller the law
makers assemble, the President
will present a record-high federal
budget of $99 billion (or the 12
months starting July 1. It will be
the first time any president has
budgeted more peacetime spend-
ng than the recorded $98.3 billion
of the costliest fiscal year ol
World War II.
The political complexion of the
new Congress significantly to thel
right ot Kennedy is believed to
be little different than the last
one in w hich Kennedy won or lost
legislative battles by hairline
margins. The While House anti
eipatos two more years ol tougn
legislative sledding.
Kennedy's legislative objective
is to push through the first ses
sion ot the new Congress a top-
to-bottnm reduction in individual
income tax rales and corporate
levies, coupled with some contro
versial tax reforms.
The proposed tax cuts are
aimed at putting more zip in the
economy so that unemployment.
now ranging close to 6 per cent
of the work force, will oe re
duced significantly by the time
the voters go to the polls lor tne
1964 presidential election.
The President's chances of get
ting a tax cut by next January,
a later date than he would like,
are regarded as somewhat belter
than 50-50 despite the concern o(
onservative lawmakers over the
effect of a revenue loss on the
budget deficit.
The preoccupation ot the tax-
wrilins House Ways & .Means
Committee with this issue appar
cnlly will preclude a showdown
until 1964 on Kennedys contro
versial proposal to expand tlic
Social Security program into
the fields of hospitalization bene
fits and nursing home care. The
committee has jurisdiction over
medicare as well as taxes.
