Brownlow linked to rural route probe in Washington
Advices from Washington report the post office department will probe the rural free delivery system amid alleged abuses by Tennessee officials. Congressman Walter P. Brownlow, noted for securing many routes and jobs for followers, faces scrutiny over political influence in route creation and maintenance. The investigation may affect routes with weak populations and poor roads, and some Tennessee postal positions are questioned for necessity and merit.
