Clean Up In Tax Bureau 174 Employes Dismissed In Last Year
Washington The Bureau of Internal Revenue dismissed 174 employees in the 12 months ended June 30. Fifty three were fired for taking bribes or gifts and 24 for embezzlement. Secretary Snyder announced this in a Report to Taxpayers. He said reforms and full inspections of 57 557 employees have strengthened the agency. The Treasury will distribute the 25 page report and a nine page supplement to congress and newsmen. Snyder noted tax collections rose from five to 40 billion during wartime while staff grew only 2 percent, leaving the bureau strained and susceptible to evasion. Congressional probes in 18 months highlighted misconduct by some collectors. President Truman proposed a reorganizing plan to remove politically appointed collectors. Snyder credited a special inspection service for curbing misdeeds and said it will remain after reorganization.
