Naming Of Bowman
To Postmasfership
AssaiIed by Cu||um

William E. Bowman, 48, of 804
Wayne avenue, Silver Spring, today
prepared to take over his new duties
as postmaster at Silver Spring, after
his confirmation for the post yester-
day by the Senate.
Meanwhile, Acting Postmaster
Dyke Cullum said he would not
withdraw his petition requesting the
Civil Service Commission to recon-
slider its refusal to include his name
in an eligibility list for the appoint
ment.
"The Senate's action, which was
taken without waiting for a decision
by the Civil Service Commission on
my request, is equivalent to hanging
a man before trying him." Mr.. Cul-
lum declared.
A native of Brighton, Md, Mr.
Bowman has been a resident of
Montgomery County most of his life
He has been with the Wolfe Motor
Co. in Silver Spring for the last 16
years and now is the firms general
manager.
He served with the Navy during
the World War and is member of
Stansbury Masonic Lodge. He has
two sons, Corpl. William E. Bow
man, jr., now attending Officers
Candidate School at Barkley Field,
Tex, and Joseph A. Bowman, and
a daughter, Mrs. Doris Badini.
Mr.. Collum filed his petition with
the Civil Service Commission in
November after the Democratic
State Central Committee for Mont
gomery County had refused his re-
quest to ask the commission to re-
view its failure to include his name
in a list of three elgibles for the
job.
