NO NEED TO CUT MAIL SERVICE IS BRIDGES' CLAIM
WASHINGTON, May 7. -(P)
Senator Bridges (R-NH) charged the postoffice department today with a "clear cut case of brazen propaganda" by apparently circulating word that mail service must be cut because Congress has failed to provide necessary funds.
Asserting that he "wanted to nip the report in the bud," the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee told newsmen:
"The truth is that the Post Office Department is living way beyond its means and if there is any blame to be made for having insufficient funds it does not rest on Congress but on the Bureau of the Budget and the Department itself."
