POSTAL CHARGES
 DEBATE STILL ON
Publishers and Senators Argue
 Over Rates

Washington, Dec. 2a.-second class postal rates were again dis- cussed today by spokesmen before the committee.
 The proposed increase in rates of his os~s was declared insufficient by ,tIchard II. Lee. representing thu Associated Advertising club Of the World.
 Pointing out that the cost ascer- ainment report showed second class nall now resulted In loss of s75,- 00,000 annually. Lee declared It un- air to propose to cut this loss by >nly $10,000o under the new rates Ie proposed instead that second lass mall be made to bear the brunt ,f the increased rates.
 Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire, asked if newspapers mould not receive preferential rates tccause of their service in dissemin- ting information.
 Lee denounced such preference nd said he could only attribute such rcatment of newspapers as due to influence" He insisted the news uapers practically were subsidized ,oday by the government.
 If rates on second class mail are boosted much. will 1t not put many small papers out of business?" Sen ator Harred, republican, Oklahoma asked.
 Absolutely not" Lee replied They will pass on to the subscrt bcrs the increase"
 MT. Lee declared unfair the pro posed increases in rates on othe classes Of mail.
 Can there be any valid reasol why advertising run in a newspape or a magazine should be carriet through the malls for less than an. other kind of adVertis!ng?" h asked. Is the government be!n asked not only 10 create q subsid through rates, but to express d preE erence for one advertising medium over another as well?" Charles W. Collier, secretary c the direct mail committee Of the AS sociated Advertisers clubs, argue against the proposed increases ( rates in first, third and fourth clas mai. lie suggested that the postag on third class mail be made one cer for one or one and half ounces II stead Of for two ounces as now.
