Broom Poised Over Taxmen in Shakeup At IRS
Washington dispatch reports Commissioner John B Dunlap of the Internal Revenue Bureau planned to unveil a major broadside in his drive to raise efficiency and fire those who betrayed trust. Officials say several employees will be ousted from offices not yet publicly linked to the current firings and final decisions on 14 suspended workers in San Francisco and New York will be announced. The disclosures came as the House Ways and Means subcommittee pressed its inquiry and recalled T Lamar Caudle to testify about his career as the top prosecutor of tax cases. Caudle defended his life in office after being fired as assistant Attorney General by President Truman two weeks prior. The forthcoming announcements, it was learned, may involve James G Smyth, suspended San Francisco collector, and possibly the Detroit office amid ongoing investigations.

Police noted similarities to the prior store robbery and continue to investigate.
