HIRE CHIEF DIRECTOR OF FISTS Commission Suggests Long Term for Head of Department at High Salary Less Red Tape, Waahlngton, Feb. 11. Congress today received a preliminary report of the Joint commlaalon appointed during the last congress to invcatl gato tho bualneaa methods of the poatofllce department and poctofflce service and submit recommendations for legislation to effect change In their administration. Tbo commis sion, consisting of Senators Penrose, Carter nnd Clay, and Representative. Ovcrstroet, Oardner of New Jersey, and Moon, points out many objee tlonablo methods ot both depart ments. Among tho recommendations Is a ptan to placo tbo actual direc tion of tho business ot the poatoMce department under the acrvlco of aa officer, with necessary assistants to bo appointed by tho president, "by and with tho advice and consent ot tho senate," for long terms, so as to Insure the continuance of efficient service. Under tho plan the postmaster-general, as a member ot tbo cabinet, Is chargeablo with general supervisory control and tho determi nation of question ot policy. Tbo commlaalon also recommends that the business of tho department bo decentralized so as to avoid tho congestion at tho national capital which Impairs tho efficiency and In creases the cost of tbo service; that tho bookkeeping, auditing and ac counting bo simplified, unified and centralized to secure greater accur acy, more prompt methods and elim ination ot duplication of work; and that tho practlco or requiring need less detailed reports from small post offices bo discontinued. The moder ate application ot tho non-accounting system to small offices will eliminate about 30,000, or nearly one-half, ot all the postofflco accounts from tha present complex report and book keeping system, or would at least greatly simplify the samo. Tho com mlaalon says: "It appears too obrlous to require argument that tho moat efficient ser vlco can never bo expected as long as the direction of tho business Is. as at present entrusted to a postmaster-general and certain assistants selected without special reference to cxpcdlenco and qualifications and subject to frequent change. Under such a system a large railroad, com mercial or Industrial business would eventually go Into bankruptcy, and the postofflco department has averted that fate only becauso the United Stntea treasury has been available to meet deficiencies."
