Burleson Criticises Hitchcock Regime
Washington, May 1. Postmaster General Burleson released a special report charging that during Hitchcock's administration the postal service did not self sustain as claimed and instead ran a deficit of over 1 million in 1911. The survey accuses bookkeeping tricks and false economy while noting promotions delays and higher salaries to staff. Republicans question the report's accounting and warn of relying on Burleson's conclusions without a modern system.
