Wider Tax Office Probe Seen in San Francisco
A federal grand jury halted its inquiry into Internal Revenue irregularities in San Francisco as nine bureau officials were suspended. President Truman suspended collector James G. Smyth and six deputies for incompetence, while two other employees faced separate charges. The suspensions prompted the grand jury to recall witnesses amid fears of speaking out while others remained on the job. Furtado and Frisbie cases resurfaced, with embezzlement accusations linked to Treasury funds and a Federal Credit Union treasury role. The suspensions, ranging up to indefinite, were to be reviewed with grand jury findings expected later.
