Secretary Shaw Denounces Independence in Treasury Office
A conference between Secretary Shaw and Surgeon General Walter Wymin followed the arrest of Jims W Boyd, a clerk in the disbursing office of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, amid a probe into increased independence in the Treasury branch and a pending attachment claim over $82,300 for purchases. The Kilgore committee report on the Marine Hospital Service influenced high level talks on governance, with Worcester cited for long service and noted deficiencies in disbursing oversight. Boyd contests the government’s actions, arguing his conduct aimed to secure bonds for defense and deny a government overreach.
