The U.S. Postal Service, which says it is facing a potential loss of $500 million this year, is cutting the salaries of its 30 top officials--from Postmaster General Paul N. Carlin on down--by 3.5% as part of a major belt-tightening, Carlin said in a letter to top managers. Also, a 3.2% pay raise effective Saturday has been put on hold for 700 other officials, including the postmasters of Washington, New York, Los Angeles and other cities.
