BILL TO RUN ON SNAG
Friends of Frank H. Hitchcock Prospective Postmaster
General Believe Such Office Would Make Head of
Department Mere Figurehead.
By JOHN SNURE.

The plan to enact the postal commits
sion measure, providing for a director
and assistant directors of posts, is
likely to be the subject of an animated
controversy in Congress after the re-
cess Indications are that the bill wiN
not be put through this session, al
though a strong effort will be made.
Under the surface there is some in
teresting politics in connection with the
matter.
Chairman Jesse Overstreet OF the
House Postoffices Committee. who is a
member Of the joint postal commission
which devised the plan for director OF
posts, cherishes a desire TO be director
Of posts. Mr.. Overstreet has been de-
feated for reelection 90 Congress. and
he is well versed in postal affairs
through his long service as head Of the
committee He has a great many warm
friends on both sides Of the House
who would like TO see him get the
place. y disposition is noticeable TO
push the bill to an early passage. and
this is said TO be not wholly disConnect-
ed from Mr.. Overstreets ambition
Should The bill pass before Mr.. Roose-
velt's time expires. Overstreets chances
would probably be better than they
would be under Taft.
Hitchcock Forces Oppose
But here enter the friends Of Frank
II. Hitchcock, who Is generally looked
on as the next Postmaster General
They are looking with much doubt on
the scheme Of providing for a director
OF posts. Under the regime Of a strong
director, the Postmaster General would
find himself stripped of much Of his
power. He would become a good deal Of
an ornament. It could not be reason
ably supposed that the friends OF
Hitchcock would calmly acquiesce in any
such arrangement, or, at least. to in
sist on careful consideration Of the plan
to thus revolUr)uize the department,
as many think would be the result.

Meyer indOrSeS the plan, but Mr. Meyer
