Two rural carriers ousted in association reform probe
Postmaster General Wynne removed H. H. Nivin of Berthoud Colorado and J. W. Whitehead of Medina Ohio from rural carrier posts amid alleged efforts to influence legislation. Nivin chairs the National Rural Carriers Association executive board and Whitehead is a board member and Ohio secretary. Investigators say the campaign, tied to President Cunningham and Secretary Tumber, aimed to win support from Republicans and Democrats alike for carrier interests, with Representative Overstreet singled out for not pledging support. Further actions by postal authorities and a January executive board meeting are anticipated.
