things be taken up by the Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne on his return to Washington,
according 10 q statement made at the de-
partmeEt to-day. is the question Of filing
the places caused by dismissals and indict-
ment Of division chiefs involved in the pos
tai scandals Three four good appoint
ments are available. three OF which are in
the classified service. They are: General
superintendent OF free delivery, superin-
rendent OF salaries and allowances. chief of
the money order system and assistant at
torney general for the department. The
first three named are subject to the rules
Of the Civii-service Commission. The place
as assistant attorney general is one of the
personal appointments IN the gift OF the
postmaster general
An effort has been made to have the adj
ministration waive the civil-service rules IN
the case OF free delivery and salaries and
allowances, but IL is understood that Ii has
proved futile. The postmaster general be-
lieves an attempt should first be made to
md competent men for these places within

outside selections be made. There is every
reason to believe that good executives can
be found in the department. Mr.. Robb,
who was appointed attorney general OF the
department when James NJ. Tyner was rel
moved. can have the place permanently IL
he wants IT. But Mr.. Robb desires to re-
turn to the Department of Justice as soon
as the postal investigation is concluded. In
terest Is manifested here in the status OF
George w. Beavers, former superintendent
OF salariss and allowances. For three
months the division has been under rigid
Investigation. The opinion prevails that
Beavers may be a witness for the govern
ment In certain cases that will be tried as a
result Of the general investigation. Unless
he changes his plans Postmaster General
Payne will return TO Washington Wednes-
day.
