Postal Increases Set For May 16 Postmasters. Paul Kizer and Ernest Bushong said today that increases in most postage rates will take effect May 16 as the new United States Postal Service begins its task of achieving self sufficiency as required by the Postal Reorganization Act. Mr Kizer and Mr. Bushong noted general postage rates have not been increased since 1967 when Congress passed what Was to become its final legislative act in this respect They pointed out. earlier, requests for rate increases were, proposed to Congress in 1969 by both resident Johnson and President Nixon In addition. President Nixon proposed an increase again m 1970, although none of the proposed increases was acted upon by Congress The two men explained the new increases — authorized on a temporary basis until the newly created Postal Rate Commission can make recommendations to the Governors of the Postal Service on permanent changes — will raise first-class letter rates from 6 to 8 cents an ounce, and airmail letter rates from 10 to 11 cents an ounce Post cards will go from 5 to 6 cents each and airmail post cards will go from Bto 9 cents each The increases will be borne more by business than by im dividuals, the postmasters pointed out, since about 75 per cent of first class and airmail is from commercial mailers. In addition to increases in first class rates, second and third class will also go up on May 16 However, <he full increase proposed by the Postal Service will not be put into effect on a temporary b?sis, in second and third class, since postal reform legislation contemplates that such increases be phased over five years — or ten years for nonprofit organizations — provided Congress appropriates the necessary funds to ease the transition to full rates. Because of the phasing provision, the increases to become effective May 16 for second and third-class will

generally be only one-fifth of the total increase which has been proposed by the Postal Sendee. No changes are made in the rates for parcel post, which is the principal component of fourth class mail However, initial increases will be made in the "book rate" which is classified as fourth class The new temporary rates also make changes in other postage rate categories and special service fees, such as special delivery and registered mail. Tfie Postal Service advised the public in February that it intended to make the temporary increases if the Postal Rate Commission did not make the recommended decision within 90 days of the request by the Postal Service Recently the Rate Commission confirmed that it will not be able to make a decision within 90 days and Sunday, May 16. was selected as the date on which the rates would become effective. When the domestic changes go into effect, there will be conforming increases in letter rates to Canada and Mexico.
