Tuesday, February .25. 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Tuesday, February 25, 1975 THE MICHiGAN DAILY Page Three Daley aides not upset by support, for challengers CHICAGO (k') - Two challengers to Mayor Richard Daley's bid for renomination today picked up key endorsements over the weekend, but aides to the mayor quickly discounted them as insignificant. Edward Sadlowski, head of the nation's largest district of the United Steel Workers Union, endorsed Alderman William Singer for the Democratic nomination. And the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a Chicago civil rights leader and head of Operation People United to Save Humanity, announced his support fpr black state Sen. Richard Newhouse. DALEY, first elected mayor two decades ago, is trying for a sixth term. The winner of the Democratic primary will face Alderman John Hoellen in April.. Hoellen, the only Republican on the City Council, headed a committee to find a mayoral candidate and was forced to accept the post when no one volunteered. The Daley organization said it does not consider the endorse- ments from the labor and black leaders significant and predicted a sizeable majority for their chieftain.! BACKERS of former State's Atty. Edward Hanrahan of Cook County said they, too, are confident of winning the nomination. Singer, 34, an independent alderman who was behind the ouster of Daley from the 1972 Democratic National Convention, launched his campaign two years ago with an attack on the inadequacies of the Chicago school system. Singer also has accused the Daley administration of corrup- tion. Many of the mayor's close associates have been convicted of political crimes in recent months. HANRAHAN, 53, has chipped away on the issue of Daley's health. The 72-year-old mayor suffered a stroke last summer and was forced to stay away from City Hall for about 100 days. Supporters of Newhouse, 51, say they hope the city's black vote will push him into the general election. Rising letter costs may hurt mal use JURORS SELECTED: Gurney trial begins By AP and UPI STAMPA, Fla. (1' - Jury se- lection began yesterday in the trial of former Sen. Edward Gurney on charges of zribery and conspiracy. U.S. District Court Judge ben Krentzman ordered a 1 a r g e pool of prospective jurors to be on hand to speed seletion of a 12-member panel and five aler- nates. THE NUMBER of co-defend- ants on trial with Gurney has dwindled from 6 to 4, with two former campaign aides granted severances. All, including Gurney, a r e charged with conspiring to col- lect a $233,000 slush fund from builders who sought Gurney's influence in governme't-spon- sored housing projecrs a n d mortgage insurance. Gurney is also charged wth bribery, unlawful compensauon and four counts of making false statements to the grand jury that indicted him last July after a year-long probe. HE IS the first incumbent senator totbe indicted since 1924. After the indictment, he with- drew from a race for re-election under pressure from the Repub- lican party, saying there was no "sensible or sound way" to conduct the race while facing a major trial. He also claimed that t h e charges brought against h i m were politically motivated but yesterday he told newsmen "court rules prevent any com- ment." GURNEY, 60, was former President Nixon's stroagest al- ly on the Senate Watergate Comm ittee. Facing trial with t_ im~ey are: James Groot of Washington. Gurney's former administrative assistant; Joseph 1r3 ien, form- er head of Gurney Winter Park Field office; Wayne Swig. er, suspended Tampa Federal Housing Administraion direc- tor, and Ralph Komntz, a form- er Jacksonville FHA official. George Anderson, former Florida Republican party treas- urer and Gurney's 1968 cam- paign treasurer, has agreed to testify in return for a separate trial. ORLANDO citrus grower Earl "Duke" Crittenden, former GOP state chairman and onetime Gurney campaign chairman, was granted a seve.:ance in a brief federal order that did not; indicate whether he would tes- tify. Three prsons already h a v e been sentenced to prison terms in connection with the investiga- tion. They include :hies Gurney fend raiser Larry Wililams of Orlando, who cuoierated with the government in 'he probe; Miami builder John Priestes, and William Pelski, former Miami FHA direc'u-".

UDE NAME AS # C''A" ss ________- s --- t r; WASHINGTON () - Rising, postal rates could lead to the first decline in mail usage since the 1930's, the new postmaster general, Benjamin Bailar, says. "We are running a level just about equal to last fiscal year. And if we have a decline from last year's volume, which I think is a distinct possibility, it will be the first year since the Depression that postal volume has not increased," Bailar said in an interview. POSTAL officials report they handle about 300 million pieces of mail on an average day cur- rently, with that rate doubling in the Christmas period. The last increase, from eight cents to ten cents per first-class letter, took effect last March. Christmas mail then dectined four and one-half per cent from the previous year. Bailar now says an increase to 12 or 13 cents per letter will be needed by the end of this year. If the rate goes to 12 cents, it wifl have doubled since 1968. HE BLAMED the increaSe on higher costs, particularly labor costs, which account for 85 per cent of the Postal System's to- tal. How much this year's increase will amount to will be deter- mined in large part by c o n- tracts with postal unions sched- uled to be signed this summer. A Postal Service spokeswo- man said any loss of revenue caused by a decline in mail volume would be covered by the rate increase., THE NEW rates are calculat- ed, she said, to take a volume loss into account so the Postal Service would not lose income. Asked whether declining vol- ume would result ire r-ductions in manpower she note.I that the current Postal Service contract includes a no-layoff provision. She said calculations are not available as to whether a n decline in volume would indi- cate a manpower reduction and said any such planning w o u I d] have to await the outcome of the upcoming contract regotia- tions. A COMPLICATING factor in the contract negotiations is aI threat by the letter carriers ur- ion to strike if a controversial! delivery system is put into ef- fect. The union contends the sys- tem, developed to measure in- dividual carriers' performancet so that more efficient routes cant be established, would eliminate1 150,000 jobs.
