POSTAL Continued From Page B1 cost, high-speed optical scanning equipment "will put the Postal Service on a truly modern basis and enable it to handle the nation's mail needs for decades to come; will make it possible to handle greater volumes of mail by handling it less; will help hold down costs and go for longer periods of time without rate increases, and will reduce sorting errors and improve the reliability of mail delivery." While five-digit ZIP codes generally identify individual delivery offices and enable mechanical routing among those offices, the mail still must be sorted manually after it reaches the destination office.

The recommended ZIP will identify not only office destination but also such places as city blocks and large apartment and office buildings. The Postal Service will be able to use optical scanning equipment to automatically sort the mail to the proper segment of a carrier's route, HILTON Continued From Page B1 As to the investors, he said they have a "positive attitude about the hotel." He conceded that Philip Berman, board chairman of Hess's, has been involved in the organization "to make sure it goes well because of his investment But that's not the reason I am leaving."

thus eliminating manual sorting. One firm, for example, could have as many as 1,000 four-digit designations added to its present five-digit ZIP code. The added four digits would designate a specific office of the firm. However, firms making use of specific ZIP routings would need their own optical scanning equipment to facilitate mail handling in-house. The Postal Service has concluded that the scanning equipment, with just the five-digit ZIP code, pays for itself in five years.

It added that if 50 percent of machine-handled firstclass mail were to carry ZIP the equipment would pay for itself in a little more than three years, and if 90 percent were to carry ZIP it would pay for itself in only two years. The Postal Service, according to local officials, will add equipment on a phased basis as the rate of usage grows and as experience with the equipment dictates. Said Gall, "'The sooner companies convert to ZIP the faster the service will be able to reap anticipated savings expected from the system and pass those savings along to ECK Mrs. Joan Z.
