In the lead article in its January issue, the Digest characterizes the increases as "the most serious financial threat in the magazine i ndustry's history." The rates, which apply also to newspapers, are already 50 percent higher than they were three years ago. Yet last September 25, the U.S. Postal Service announced its inteniton to more than double second-class rates over the next three years. Moreover, some observers of postal affairs think BAN ON BUSING DROPPED AFTER NAACP PROTEST NEW YORK-Following a strong condemnation by NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins of the anti-busing amendment passed by the House of Representatives on December 13, a joint House Senate' conference committee agreed, on December 19, to delete the amendment from a compromise energy bill. The House amendment would have banned fuel for "forced" busing of school children to achieve racial balance. Mr. Wilkins had said that passage of the amendment was "a vote in favor of the Jim Crow school sytem, that (See PROTEST, Page 10) the rates may actually triple. Individually these increases may seem relatively small, amounting to just a few cents per copy. But cumulatively they mean many millions of dollars of added expense, which newspapers and magazines simpy cannot absorb. The Digest, for example, estimates that if the increase go through as planned they will raise its bill for second-class postage alone from the present $7 million year to $16 million! That's in addition to $4 million increase in first-class postage. Passing along these postal increase, along with increases for paper and other factors, could raise the price of subscription from the present $4.97 a year to $6.97 by 1976. If other publications are forced to increase their prices' in similar fashion, the result could be to create a magazine industry for the affluent only, the article says. "In other words, lower-income Americans, the very people who perhaps most need an inexpensive means of continuing education, are the main losers."
