Postal Services And Hiring To Be Curtailed Postmaster General W. Marvin Watson July 12 moved to comply with the employment cutback required by congress under the recently enacted tax bill, public law 90-364, by ordering some postal services and hiring curtailed. “This is not a matter of dollars, but of people”, postmaster general Watson explained. “Under the manpower restrictions imposed by the tax bill we simply will not have enough people to continue all postal services at their present level”. “Hopefully”, he said, “Congress will correct this situation”. The following actions were ordered: Effective July 27 all Saturday and Sunday window service at first and second class post offices and classified units will be discontinued except that a general delivery or call window may be opened for not more than two hours to deliver mail regularly addressed to general delivery patrons and to hand out mail to business firms whose mail is reg; ularly handled in this manner. Effective July 27 Saturday collection of mail from street deposit boxes will be adjusted to conform to Sunday collection service. Effective immediately postmaster vacancies existing or occurring in third and fourth class post offices won’t be filled and vacancies existing or occurring on rural routes will not be filled until it is determined whether the route can be consolidated with another one or eliminated. A total of 250'fourth class post offices will be discontinued effective August 2 and another 97 fourth class offices will be discontinued August 30. Arrangements will be made to provide rural delivery service to the persons affected by the shutdowns. Postmasters also have been directed to submit to the department by September 1 their plans for elimination of all Saturday delivery on city residential routes. The effective date for the elimination of Saturday residential delivery will be established later by the department. The tax bill requires the post office department to reduce its employment to the level of June 30, 1966. This will mean a reduction of 83,238 positions.

To make the cutback in jobs, post offices have been ordered to fill only three out of four vacancies as they occur. EMBARGO ON CANADIAN MAIL Paul Kizer, postmaster of the Milford post office, stated this morning (Wednesday) that his post office received the following memorandum on Canadian mail. "Effective at once—At the request. of the Canadian postal service, there is an embargo on acceptance on all classes of mail, both surface and air, addressed for delivers in Canada”.
