Irritation Over Burleson Deficit Report Hits Hitchcock
Postmaster General Burleson released a four-committee report charging Frank H Hitchcock failed to wipe out the postal deficit. Senator Penrose supports the claim that a surplus was never achieved, noting receipts for 1911 did not fully cover expenses and criticising manipulation of accounts and promotions under Hitchcock. The dispute heightens Republican tensions as lawmakers argue over the department’s true financial state and efficiency.
