The National League of Women Voters announces that its efforts in the present session of Congress will be concentrated on opposition to the spoils system, on the clearcut isâ€" sue of the McKellar vs. the Ramsâ€" peck postmaster bills. The hoary problem of patronage in postmasterships was precipitated anew by the special session through a majority report from the Senate Postoffice Committee of which Senâ€" ator McKellar of Tennessee is chairâ€" man, recommending passage of a bill under his authorship which would return first, second and third California Navel Oranges for eating or slicing Black Rapsberries Seedless Grapes 1«" $1.00 MONARCH TKE PRES8s SALERNO Butter Cookies 15c elass postmasterships to the patronâ€" ‘The League points out that Senâ€" ator McKellar clearly intended this as a spoilsmen‘s move, for the ma» mmflluwww‘ age: * -fiodotnr-hthc postmasters is ideal, and it is one that has been tried out through all the years.

Postmasâ€" ters are responsible. to the Conâ€" gressman, or to the Senators where the office is in the Senator‘s home town, and as a rule they are a comâ€" petent and efficient body of men." The League contrasts this stateâ€" ment with a report in the Reader‘s Digest of December, 1936: "Of those in the postal service arrested for embezzlement in 1935, the apâ€" pointive postmasters thqmselves, holding political jobs, represented oneâ€"quarter of the culprits, There were but four arrests among the 85,000 rural carriers and only 107 out of the 49,000 city carriers (who are ‘urider the civil service law), yet out of less than 14,000 politiâ€" cally appointed postmasters there were 136 arrests."
