BURLESON TO Be EXED
BY B|GP. 0. SURPLUS
Income Is Likely to Be Far
in Excess of the
Expenditures.

That Postmaster General Burleson Is
likely to be "embarra ssed'' with a postal
surplus even larger than that which
former Postmaster General Hitchcock
claimed the last fiscal year of his adj
ministrarion is said to be q foregOne
conclusion.
Shortly after Mr.. Burleson assumed
office he attacked the Hitchcock sur
plus as myth and said il all the
outstanding liabilities of the year were
taken into account 1T would be found
that there was deficit OF nearly
three quarters of million dollars in
stead Of the surplus claimed.
May indicate Hitchcock.
Those who are familiar with the
method of estimating employed In the
Post Office Department now say that
Indications point to vindication of
Postmaster General Hitchcock's pre-
diction that the surplus at the close OF
Mr.. Burleson's first year would ap-
proximate $10.000.000.
The transfer of magazine shipments
from the mails to fast freight IL saio
to have resulted in big saving 70
the department This of itself wouIo
contribute materially to increase the
surplus, because the magazine mail IS
probably the largest bulk of that wnich
the department has contended for
years was not paying for itself.
Plan to Reduce Surplus.
Whether Postmaster General Burle-
sons recent inquiry of the controller
of the Treasury as to his right to re-
store the mail shipments of magazines
and to abolish freight shipments Is an
indication of purpose to help reduce
the surplus and at the same time
throw a sop to Cerberus" by adding
