Senate Rejects Truman Plan On Postmaster Appointments
The Senate rejected President Truman’s plan to remove 22 90 postmaster positions from political patronage and to alter 94 15 marshal and 91 Internal Revenue Service appointments. After brisk debate, lawmakers voted to keep the existing system where appointees are named with party influence and then confirmed by the Senate. Critics argued the changes would canalize power within the executive and politicize jobs, while supporters claimed the spoils system bred corruption.
