on top of your two cents. every one of them still costs the government about one-half cent aplece. Last summer, the Post Office was saying that the three-cent first class letter was paying its way and making a little profit. But since then Post Office costs have gone up so that now it's nip-and-tuck as to which pide of the ledger this piece of mall , is on. The airmail stamp at 6 cents would be enough to pay its own way if it- were not for the air mail subsidies—payments to the airlines in excess of a proper charge of carrying mail. With the subsidies, the 6-cent stamp is far from paying costs, Nearly All Subsidized All in all, nearly every piece of mail is subsidized, except possibly the first-class letter. Newspapers and magazines are beneficiaries of the postal subsidies. Latest figures show that they fail by about $200 million a year to pay enough postage to cover the cost of delivery of their publications “It is significant,” said the House Post Oifice Committee, “that today, in peak times for the publishing industry both from the standpoint of advertising revenue and subscription revenue, we are paying a $200 million annial subsidy as compared with a subsidy of $85 million in 1940.” Yet this Committee voted to increase the complicated newspaper and magazine postal rates only enough to produce an additional $15 million in revenue. The Post Office Department had asked for 8 $125 million increase. The Committee said it recog nized that the vast publishing] industry was built on low postal rates and that it did not deem (it advisable to increase rates to the point where it would. cause “irre-! parable damage.” It served notice,

with a postal increase bill which

the Committee approved last summer, but which was left pending

before the House when Congress quit. The same happened to a postal increase bill in the Senite Neither House nor Senate bill proposes to come close to raising the additional $250 million in

revenue which Postmaster Gen-|

eral Jesse M. Donaldson had ppc pe summer, Mr. Donaldson thought ' the Post Office deficit this year would run only abeut $400 million and that If Congress would increase rates to produce an extra $250 million the situation wouldn't be too bad. But Congréss voted $120 million

{in increased pay for postal em-

ployees without providing for ad ditional revenue And now it looks as If the Poat Office deficit this year will be back up to last year's mark of $550 million. This deficit, of course, is paid from taxpayers’ funds in the Treasury Business Benefits In studying the 1-cent postcard the Post Office Department found that 90 per cent of the three billion postcards mailed annually are used By business firms for advertising purposes. Businesses undoubtedly are the biggest beneficiaries ‘of the postal subsidies In arguing for the Administra tion's health ‘insurance program recently, Federal 8ecurity Admin istrator Oscar R.
