New Stamp Expected to Boost
Air Mail Volume Sharply
By w. n. Shippen, Jr.
. (Aviotion Editor Of the Storl

With the new scent air mail
stamps going on sale in Washing
ton September 25. and throughout
the country on the following day,
postal and airline officials are pre-
pairing for a big boost in air mail
volume when the Scent reduction
goes into effect october l.
The Scents ts-an-ounce rate is the
lowest yet offered by the Post Office
Department for this type of service
and applies to the United States,
Canada and our outlying territories
and possessions, as well as to points
between the possessions.
Thus air mail postage from Guam
to the Canal Zone, for example, has
been cut from 80 cents to 5 cents
an ounce.
/ Postal officials regard the reduc-
tions as only step toward eventual
equalization of domestic rates on
the Scent level to permit all first
class mail to go by air in zones
where this service can expedite de-
livery, 1t was said.
Includes Air Parcel Post.
This long-range plan includes air
parcel post. as provided under bill
sponsored by the Post Office De-
partment which passed the House
at the last session but got lost in
the Senate in the last-minute rush
of business. The bill is to be brought
up again at the next Congress.
Due to the fact that the new
stamps go on sale here a day ahead
OF the rest of the country, the Wash
ington Post Office is receiving mail
orders from out-of- town collectors
anxious to obtain first day" cam
cellations on their covers.
The five-cent stamps are red on
a white background and are illus
trated with a four -motored trans
port of the type coming into wide
use on American airlines since the
wars end.
The previous low for air mail
rates was instituted in 1928 with a
scent charge for the first ounce,
and higher rates on succeeding
ounces. When the service was

Ready for Big Volume.
In II months since vi Day the
airlines have built up speed, capac-
ity and frequency of both domestic
and overseas schedules until they
now are in a position to carry a
greatly increased volume of mail to
many new destinations at home and
abroad. The airlines and postal au-
thorities have opened a campaign
to popularize the traffic.
With planes departing almost
hourly for Europe, the Near East
Canada, the Pacific islands and the
Americas to the South, letters
posted in Washington in the early
afternoon can reach North Ameri-
can destinations overnight. and
