Washington, September 16.--The in

collectors of internal revenue who
have been holding over from the re-
publican administration are expected
to be accepted as one of the firstssteps.
Secretary McAdoo has been slow in
making sweeping reorganization of
this service because, with the collec-

considered only men of high ability
and constructive experience. With the
law on the statute books. however. it is
said, he will quickly readJust the or
