Women Barred From Postoffice Bathing Suits Spark Appeal
Rockaway Beach women barred from entering a United States post office in bathing suits may appeal William A McVey’s order to the Postoffice Department. Albert S Burlegan and four assistant postmasters general will review the case and likely set a precedent for the entire service. Officials say the blanket authority governing order in post offices is broad and could extend to actions like prohibiting smoking in lobbies. The dispute hinges on whether bathing suits inside a post office constitute disorderly conduct, a question not yet formally ruled on by the department.
