to another, Nfhe Commissioner has decided
to assign Supervisor Ira M. Harrison, Of
New jersey, To- temporary duty in West
Virginia, for the purpose of making a
thorough Investigation into the internal
Revenue affairs in that State.
The President during his recent visit
here stated that it was his intention to
make changes in all offices where the pres
ent incumbents had been 10 eight years or
more, no matter how capable such incum.
bents may be, and especially would
preference be given to those who suffered
during the war, as successors of those to be
removed.
The operation Of this ruling was Illus
trated in the case of Edgar Needham, as
SCISSOR of internal revenue al Louisville,
Ky. The President directed Needham's
suspension and commission for Hor-
ace NJ. Buckley TO be Issued. Secre-
tary Boutwell, insisted that Needham,
having been afaithful officer, should be
allowed TO resign. The President agreed
to this, and Needham, upon being notified
that his resignation would be accepted,
