Postal Brushoff Ends Four Year Fight Over Bear Lake Postmaster
The Bear Lake postmaster bid battled through years of letters and reversals. J Byrne and Sen Clark aides backed Moore, but a signed letter misattribution triggered a chain of refusals. In 1965 Moore was certified, yet a 1968 AP report paired his name with a different candidate. The 1966 Post Office reply warned the nomination could be withdrawn, leading to a formal protest from Mrs Moore and a final brush off.

Moore Sees Postmaster Hurdle Amid County Postal Feud
The withdrawal of Mr Moore’s nomination is not seen as a reflection of his character or ability. He believes he will never be Bear Lake postmaster and predicts the eventual appointee will hear of the job only near the election for political gain. Warren County shows a concentration of postal wrangling while Erie County has only one acting postmaster, at Union City, per a Journal survey. The paper awaits replies from Sen Clark, Sen Hugh Scott, Rep Johnson, the Civil Service commission, Clark’s assistant Byrne, and the Post Office Department.
