Postal rates to increase Postal rates for newspapers and magazines and other mat erial mailed at the secondclass rates will be increased January 1, Postmaster Harry E. Moose reminded secondclass mailers today. The increase results from the postage rate law enacted in December 1967, which raised most secondclass rates in 3 annual steps, Postmaster Moose pointed out. The January 1, 1969 hike is the second phase of the increase. The first phase took effect January 7, 1968, and the third step will go into effect January 1, 1970. The secondclass rate increase affects general interest, non profit and classroom publica tions. Except for home-county mail ings, postal rates for newspa pers and magazines mailed at secondclass rates are based on the weight of the publication, the amount of advertising it contains, and the distance it is mailed. Effective January 1, rates for editorial or non^advertising matter in commtrcial publica tions will be increased from 3 to 3.2 cents per pound. Rates for advertising content dtpend on the distance the publication is mailed. These zone rate® now range from 4.6 to 15 cents per pound of advertising con tent. The new advertising zone rate change will be 4.9 to 16 cents. There are special lower sec ondclass rates for classroom publications and publications of non-profit organizations. These rates will also be increased on January 1.
