an investigation by the Department OF
Justice of the claim of the Postmaster
General that the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine Company owes the Post Office
Department Si2,2l9.s2. This amount, 1t is
claimed. should be returned to the de-
partment because of the adding machines
purchased, S26 were not new and per-
feet, but either were second hand or
trial worn.
William F. McCombs. chairman Of the
Democratic national committee. is coun-
sci. with Leo VI. Butzel. of Detroit, for
the defense. Mr.. McCombs and Mr.. But
Eel say that the contention OF the Post
master General may be settled emicably.
1t is claimed for the company that II

Attorney General McReynolds has sub
