Subsidy Battle Halts Post Office Bill in Senate Vote
Special despatch from Washington reports a sharp Senate clash over a proposed one million dollar subsidy for foreign postal service. Opponents led by Bayard Whyte and Beck argued subsidies burden private property and cited Pacific Mail scandals. The lobby, led by John Roach, suffered a resounding setback as the committee amendment was laid on the table and the bill advanced without subsidy.
