Boston Internal
Revenue Office
WASHINGTON, </P) — A House
appropriations sub-committee yes
terday turned over to the justice
department and other federal
agencies an investigator’s report
that “a condition which may em
brace criminality exists in the
Boston office” of the internal rev
enue bureau.
The sub-committee, headed by
representative Canfield <R.-N. J.>
suggested “appropriate action” by
the attorney general, the treasury
department, the internal revenue
commission and the civil service
commission.
The-committee also sent a print
ed copy of its hearings and record
to Basil O’Connor, president of the
national foundation for infantile
paralysis, because funds of that
agency were said to be involved.

report, only the transcript of the
secret hearings being made public.
