174 Internal Revenue
Employes Dismissed for
Embezzlement and Bribes
WASHINGTON, </P)—The Bur
eau of Internal Revenue dismissed
174 employes in the 12 months
ended June 30. Fifty-three were
fired for taking bribes or gifts and
24 for embezzlement.
Secretary of the Treasury Sny
der announced this yesterday in
a “Report to Taxpayers” designed
to show that despite a year of
headlines growing out of congres
sional investigations, the real sto
ry represents a period of persis
tent and successful effort to over
c o m e extraordinary difficulties
and to shape a service that fully
merits public confidence.”
Snyder said the tax collecting
bureau got to work weeding out
undesirables “considerably before
the first irregularities were
brought to congressional and pub
lic atention.” Today, he said, close
inspection of the bureau’s 57,557
employes, plus administrative re
forms have made it “already a
rejuvenated and strong organiza
tion.”
