Rates Go Up Today
For Parcel Post and
Long Distance Calls
Dy me A,.oeiated Press

Rates went up today for MAX
ing long-distance telephone calls
across State lines and for mall
ing packages by parcel post. The
increases will cost Americans an
estimated $218 million a year.
An average 8 per cent advance
In interstate long distance phone
tolls became effective with the
sanction late yesterday of the
Federal Communications Com
mission. The increases, efec-
tive throughout the Bell system,
will add about SOS million a year
to charges for the service.
Parcel post rates went UP an
average of 35 per cent, or an
estimated $153 million annually.
The advance was authorized by
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission last June, but the Post
Office Department deferred the
effective date until today.
Basic Day Rates Stay.
Under the reviSionS for long
distance phone calls, basic in
1tial period daytime rates re-
main unchanged.
An additional 5 cents will be
charged for each 1-minute
overtime period on station to
station and person to person
interstate calls involving most
distances over "a miles.
An additional 5 or 10 cents
will be charged in the initial
3-minute rates for night and
Sunday calls involving most
distances between Al and 1900
miles.
Wage Boosts Cited.
The FEC said it had con-
gidered some protests, but had
decided the increases were
justified in view of recent sub
stantial wage increases in the
Bell system, made up of Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.
and its subsidiaries.
The higher parcel post rates
have been challenged in the
local courts by Q group of greet
ing card manufacturers, who
contend the revisions are bur-
densome on the public. Judge
David A. Pine refused to issue
q staying order, but set a hear
ing on the suit for next week.
