Frenzied Hunt for Western Pennsylvania Federal Posts
Washington reports scramble for key jobs in Western Pennsylvania as six major offices remain to be filled. Presidential appointees, including Marshal for Pittsburgh and Port Collector for Erie, are debated among candidates from Beaver to Erie with Senator Quay wielding influence. The Erie postmaster seat is believed to go to J M Glazier if a fight develops, while others like John C Hilton and Walter Lyon have already taken offices. The pace depends on Cabinet decisions and the President’s return to Washington.
