HIGHER POSTAGE
URGED BY BROWN
AirmaiI Situation Particularly
Discussed Before House
Committee.

Increased postage rates on regular
letters and airmail are regarded as
necessary to meet the postal deficit,
Postmaster General Walter F. Brown
told the House committee on post offices
yesterday afternoon. The Postmaster
General did not go into details, the
hearing being devoted to the airmail
situation.
Mr. Brown urged the early passage
by Congress of the Watres bill to
change the basis of payment to con-
tract airmail carriers from a poundage
to a weIght-space-m mileage basis and to
change the method of awarding con-
tracts so that the airmail business
might be used as a means of building
up air transport in general.
If the Watres bill is enacted, the
Postmaster General said, the airmail
postage rate viii be raised from to
probably z or 8 cents an ounce. He
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-17

said that President Hoover has been
urging for nearly . year that the rate
be increased.
The postal head revealed the neces-
sity for an increase In the general
postage rate in response to questions
put to him by Representative William
B. Bankhead of Alabama. Bankhead
asked the Postmaster General why, II
he planned to increase the airmail
postage rate to cover a deficit in that
branch of the service, he did not recon-
mend that Congress raise the regular
postage rate of cents to cover the
annual deficit in general postal rev.
enues, which amounts to more than
$75.000,0 900 a year.
Mr.. Brown replied that he recently
suggested in a speech in New York that
an increase from to az cents would
net q $4,000 900 revenue. He said that
the postal deficit this year would
amount to nearly 500, 1000 because
of aid given the merchant marine and
airmail services. Airmail legislation of
the type provided In the Watres bill is
needed urgently, Postmaster General
Brown said, due to the expiration. May
5, of contracts with six pioneer airmail
lines.
The Watres bill was reintroduced in
the House yesterday afternoon, with
an amendment eliminating provision
which would have authorized the Post
master General to award contracts for
carrying the airmail to individual COM
panies without asking for bids.

and the towns books were studied by
the mayor and council during three
hour executive session last night which
resulted In a statement by Mayor H. T,
Willis this morning that Mrs. Morris
agreed the towns docket was correct
and would settle on that basis.
Mayor Willis said the matter was
discussed in executive session because
It was not intended for publication. He
said the question arose as to whether
or not the council had right to keep
secret anything that was done in ex-
ecutive session and he ruled that the
final findings were public.
The supposed discrepancy, as re-
vealed in an audit made by ]. W.

said to be slightly in excess Of 500
and to cover a period from February,
