The National Capital Plan
ming Commission is showing
signs of ending months Of talk
and getting down to brass tacks
on the rebuilding Of Southwest
Washington.
The planners gave city high
way officials a green light yes
terday to order detailed con-
struction plans for the first
s11.2 million part of the South
west freeway. between South
Capitol and Ninth streets S.W.
along F.
City officials want to break
ground on the massive eight-lane
thoroughfare early next year,
and have $400. 900 in hand for
the building plans.
And, in a series of actions, the
planners paved the way for other
major Southwest policy decisions
at their June meeting on:
/. The Zecke dorf South
Mall" a park-like 300-foot-wide
entranceway to new Southwest
area.
2. A detailed "land-use" plan
showing the kind of development
the Zeckendorf firm of Webb &
Knapp proposes for each block
in the 400-acre Southwest. Such
a plan must be adopted as the

ment.
8. Specific locations proposed
by District consultants for the
entire inner loop expressway net
work around central Washing
ton. The Southwest freeway
makes up part of the southern
leg of this network.
4. Conflicts between Zecken-
dorf proposals and Smithsonian
Institution plans to build a Ma
tional Air Museum at Tenth
street S.W. near independence

South Mall"
5. Reconsideration of whether
the wholesale produce market
facilities at the western end of
Maine avenue should be moved
to some other location. A con-
sultant study on this will begin
next week and is to be completed
! in month.
All these points have been up
in the air for many months.
Part of the reason was that spe-
cif1c proposals still were being
worked out, partly because they
generated instant controversy.
The, basis for most of the
June talks will be the new land
use plan, presented yesterday

except for four lanes along Ohio
drive from Fourteenth street TO
Lincoln Memorial: eight lanes
between South Capitol and Four
teenth streets s.W, and eight
lanes on the north leg east Of
New York avenue.
Instead Of the controversial
Ohio drive section. the planners
have Endorsed an expreSSway
that would follow Independence
avenue west of Fourteenth street.
The consultants estimated this
would cost $l7.2 million. as
against $13 million for Ohio
drive.
The planners put that of until
next month, but did grant Dis
trict Highway Director j. N.
Robertson's request for a 60

for the section between South

Since World War Two, dur
ing a period of unprecedented
national prosperity, the Post
office Department. has oper-
ated at a total loss of more
than four billion dollars. The
interest alone on this portion
of the national debt is now
costing American taxpayers
more than 100 million dollars
a year.
Despite recent economies
and greater efficiency, the
Post Office Department oper-
ated at a loss of 1895 million
dollars in fiscal year 1854. This
loss does not include pending
wage increases and other en-
ploye benefits that will cost
at least 1866 million dollars
more per year.
The mailing charges in the
United States for a letter, a
magazine, or a book have been
called "the biggest bargains
on earth"
PROFIT BASIS
Most other countries, in
GLIDING our neighbor Canada,
run their mail service on a
break-even or profit basis.
New postal revenue is need
ed now to meet increased
costs; to provide facilities to
keep pace with growing mail
volume; to improve service.
Raising postal rates is not
popular issue. But Americ-
ans always face up to finan-
cial necessities when they
understand them.
The American people are
adult enough to know they
only deceive themselves by
keeping postal rates artific-
tally low, and taxing them
selves to pay the difference.
Traditionally, they prefer a
pay-aS-you-go basis - with
the user of a service paying
his way.
The Gallop Poll results
showing that the majority
opinion today favors raising
the rate on first class mail
from three cents to four cents,
confirms this conclusion as do
other surveys made on the
same subject.
INCREASES
With these views in mind
the Post office Department
has proposed increases to Con-
gress on first, second, and
third class mail.
1t has also recommended the
establishment of a permanent
Postal Rate Commission to
provide a continuous flexible
system of scientific rate adj
justments under policy guild
ance of the Congress.
The creation of a postal
Rate Commission would mat
erially aid in the formulation
'of sound long range policy

Brief facts about rates and
Gusts of First Class Mail in
Guiding domestic Air Mail,
Second Class Mail, and third
Glass Mail follow:
FIRST CLASS MAIL
The three-cent letter rate
has been called the Orphan
Annie" of the postwar infla-
tionary period.
The postage rate on letters
is the same as it was in 1882
Meanwhile, Post Office De-
rar5ment costs have almost
doubled.
Since 1882. there have been
five general wage increases
for postal employees and an
other may be imminent. There
have also been two increases
in rates paid to railroads.
First-clasS mail service UNI
der present rates does not
carry its fair share of postal
costs.
In terms of increases in the
general price level, the three-
cent stamp would cost six
cents today.
During fiscal 1854 firSt-class
mail accounted for 51.9 per
cent of total pieces, 6.S per
cent of total revenue.
At least three-fourthS of all
letter mail originates with
commercial users of the mails;
consequently, an increase of
one cent on the first ounce of
firSt-claSs mail would cost the
average US. family only about
10 cents more q month.
COSTS ELSEWHERE
The proposed four-cent let
ter rate will still be a big
bargain. Compare it with the
five-cent mailing costs paid
in Canada; the 8.5 cents in
Sweden; the 9.6 cents in Ger
many; the AIT cents in Eng
land.
The legislation proposed on
January "a, 1855 would in
crease the postage on first
class letters by one cent on
the first ounce only. This
would increase revenue by 237
million dollars and go a long
way towards eliminating the
deficit.
DOMESTIC AIR MAIL
Gets preferred service, and
guaranteed delivery by air ex-
cept in rare instances where
delivery can be advanced BY
other means of transportation
over all or part of the route,
In fiscal 1854 domestic Air
Mail letters accounted for &c
per cent of the number of
pieces handled, four-tenths of
one per cent of the pounds
handled, and produced 4.3 per
cent of the total revenue.
The legislation proposed on
January "a, 1855 would in
crease the postage on domes-
tic Air Mail by one cent on
the first ounce only. This
proposed increase would main
tain a consistent relationship
with regular letter rates and
would yield approximately $14
million in additional revenue.
