POSTAGE HIKE
 TO BE BACKED
 BY PRESIDENT
Coolidge Sees Need Of Boost To Meet Raise
 For Service Employees
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Leglsla- tion proposing increased postage rates on practically all classes of mail except letter mail to take care of pay advances for postal employees is expected to have active administration support as a re- suit of White House conference today between President Coolidge and dozen republican senators
 The conference was called by the executive after the blocking in the sen ate yesterday of efforts to postpone ac- ton on the Presidents veto of the pos tai pay bill passed at the last session. There was a rather general discussion of the whole situation, including the prospective opposition to mail rate ad. vances, particularly those on second class matter, embracing newspapers ana magazines.
 Advance Held Necessary
 MT. Coolidge was reported as holding sary to provide the necessary revenue for what he regards as a merited raise in the pay of the employees of the postal service. Some senators said they car ried away the impression that such legislation would have his support.
 Postmaster General New is having prepared in his department bill which will propose increases in mail rates touching all the services except letter mail. He expects to have this ready for transmission within a day or two to Chairman Sterling, of the senate post office committee.
 To Continue Discussions
 After the White House conference, efforts of administration leaders in the senate to get an informal understanding for an unanimous consent agreement fixing a date for action on the Presi- dents veto of the pay bill was renewed. The discussions will be continued early tomorrow with a view to present. ing a new agreement to the senate be- fore night.
 Senator Edge, republican, New Jer- sey, who is in charge of the pay in crease measure, participated in these conferences, but he and the others de- clined to discuss details pending the presentation of the proposal.
 Administration leaders and others participating in the meeting with the President expressed the opinion that Mir. Coolidge's concern was confined to providing the necessary revenue and that there was no disposition to delay unnecessarily senate action on the veto. Many proponents of the bill expressed a contrary opinion, however. charging there was a purpose to Kill the pay measure.
