SAKS at 610 Twelfth Street Wushingfu’s Mest Distinguished Furriers Siuee 1M Publishers Oppose Boost in Mail Rates as Unfair •y 4+» Associated Press Spokesmen for publishers pro tested yesterday that a proposed boost in postal rates would be unfair to many newspapers. They appeared before the Sen ate Post Office Committee, which is considering a House-passed bill to raise second-class rates by $15 million annually. The Post Office Department says the increase is needed to cut down the depart ment's deficit. Newspapers make up about half of the second-class matter. Rate increases in the House bill vary according to the zones of distri bution. Frank A. Daniels, general man ager of the Raleigh (N. C.> News and Observer, who spoke for the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, said the ANPA be lieves the zone increases would put "an undue hardship on the average newspaper” and an even "greater burden on the medium sized newspaper." Charles McD. Puckette of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times, chairman of the Southern News paper Publishers Association's Postal Committee, suggested that if the Senate finally decides in creases are necessary they should not total more than 25 per cent.
