Postal i rates for newspapers and magazines and other material mailed at the second-class rate will be Increased Jam 1, Postmaster LeRoy Smith reminded second-class mailers this week. The increase results from the postage rate law enacted in December, 1967, which raised most second-class rates in three annual steps, Postmaster Smith pointed out. The Jan. 1, 1969, hike is the second phase of the increase. The first phase took effect Jan. 7, 1968, and the third step will go into effect Jan. 1, 1970. The second-class rate increase affects general interest, non-profit and classroom publications. Rates also will go up Jan. 1 for controlled circulationpubiications. These are primarily trade, technical and industrial journals which generally do not charge a isubscription fee and are not eligible for second-class rates. The 1967 postal rate law called for a three-step raise for controlled circulation publications, to be effective the same dates as the second-class increases. Except for home-county mailings, postal rates for newspapers and magazines mailed second-class are based on the weight of the publication, the amount of advertising it contains and the distance it is mailed. Effective Jan. 1, rates for editorial or non-advertising matter iif commercial publications will be increased from 3to 3.2 cents per pound. Rates for advertising content depend on the distance the publication is mailed. These zone rates now range from 4.6 to 15 cents per pound of advertising content. The new advertising zone rate range will be 4.9 to 16 cents. There are special lower second- class rates for classroom publications and publications of nonprofit organizations.
