Congressmen

and politicians
somewhat jolted
recently by a statement coming
from the postoffice department to
the cifect that the policy of the
administration would be to retain
fourth class postmasters in office as
long as they conducted their offices
properly and gave satisfaction to
the community. Also that no
changes would be made in presi-
dential offices where the incumbent
had given good service. It is said
that many of the congressmen are
greatly pleased over the ruling as
it relieves them from much embar
rassment
