The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Thursday approved rate increases expected to cogt the public about $75.4 million a year. The increases average 13.1 per cent but vary according to the mailing distance. ““ It is now up to the Post Office Department, which is. required by law to get ICC approval before raising the Parcel Post rates, to set the date that the new rates go into effect. In its action Thursday the ICC also approved increases and changes in mailing rates for catalogs. This is expected to bring an additional $2.3 million in annual revenue to the post office. Even with the higher rates, the Post Office Department is expected to run an annual deficit of about $68.7 million in handling Parcel Post and catalog mail. » The rate proposal approved Thursday provides for increases ranging from 21 per cent on a t wo-pound package shipped locally to no increase for a 70pound package for local delivery.

Study Increase In Overtime Pay Rale WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Johnson administration is leaning toward legislation that would raise overtime rates in carefully selected, .industries in hopes of creating more jobs without spiraling labor costs. An informed source said today President Johnson planned to ask Congress for a new law that would permit tripartite industry committees to raise the overtime wage rate—now time-and-one-half of regular pay. The aim would be to encourage employers to hire additional workers instead of running up high overtime bills. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz has estimated more than 900,000 jobs could be created in this way. Under present plans, Johnson also would seek extension of coverage for the federal minimum wtt’gfe® now set at $1.25 an hour, and creation of a commission to study automation problems in the same message to Congress. It is expected to be sent late this month or early in February. Labor Department figures show that the average factory worker is putting in nearly three hours of overtime each week. This is taken as a sigh that many employers would rather pay time-and-a-half than add more workers to their payrolls. Final decisions still must be made on the Johnson program. But it appears that any request for legislation would take account of the difference between overtime on a construction project being rushed to completion, for example, and a big factory where more precise scheduling is possible. William H. Small Given Promotion William H. Small, former per-., sonnel manager of the Decatur plant of the Central Soya Co., has been promoted to the new post of assistant staff attorney for the final department of the company at Fort Wayne.

Complains Liquor Served In Armory INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Chairman Joe Harris of the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission said today a question raised about possible liquor sales or service in National Guard armories will be settled by discussion, not citation. A complaint received by the ABC from Bluffton alleging that such service is available at the armory there, set off the investigation. Harris said several organizations composed of guardsmen hold club permits from the ABC. “We do not contemplate any citations but if there is anything wrong ij will be corrected,” Harris said. “It will be handled by discussion with Indiana Adj. Gen. John S. Anderson.” A state law bans sale or serving of alcoholic beverages on state property. Harris said he had been under the impression that the permits issued to armory clubs were for locations other than armories.
