The secret Of price-making
is gradualness and a careful
appraisal Of what the traffic
will bear. The Post Office
Department has not stimu-

The Post Office Depart
ment needs revenue and,
being analogous to private
business so far as communi-
cation economics Is concern
ed, it must offer the customer
quick service at a low price.
Also, the special delivery
service Is not as good as it
used to be. Post offices in
many cities and towns have
reduced personnel, especially
on week ends. In many coun-
try districts, there is no
special-delivery service on
Saturdays and Sundays, and,
though the customer pays %
cents to get special delivery,
he will find that his letter is
delivered on Monday along
with the regular mail.
Likewise, in some suburban
areas, the post office doesn't
provide any special-delivery
service at all, but sometimes
notifies the addressee by
telephone and the prospec-
tive recipient can make a
trip Of is or 20 miles to the
post office to get such mail,
at a cost of more than 80
cents in gasoline. Few people
know where the hundreds of
post offices that are closed
down altogether on Sundays
are located. In all fairness,
these should be widely pub
licized because, after all, the

dy's recent messages to
Congress.
From 1947 to 1857, the
total volume Of mail handled
by the Post Office Depart
ment increased at an aver
age annual rate Of AZ per
cent. From 1857 to 1862, the
mail volume grew at only
"a per cent, or about half
Of the previous 10-year
growth rate. This is what is
called chronic sluggishness."

the coming fiscal year, the
Post Office Department will
take in $4.5 billion and will
spend $565 million more. To
overcome this deficit, the
Kennedy administration doc
trine calls for a stimulus,
which means some way of
increasing the gross national
postal product. Maybe the
thing to do is to reduce the
tax-or postage-on letter
mail so that the scent rate
would gradually come down
to 2 cents again. The def

be down payments on fu-
