Postmaster Displacement Sparks Missouri Inquiry
Senator Frank Briggs announced an inquiry into why World War II veteran Clyde Smith was removed as Clinton postmaster by Postmaster General Hannegan. Smith, 33, called the move a raw deal, while Walter Menefee, a former deputy marshal, succeeded him after residency checks. Menefee and President Truman’s circle had long ties. Smith had held the Clinton post since July 20, but the appointment was withdrawn last week.
