WAR VETERAN SUES
TO ENJD|N CUSTER
Income Tax Auditor, Claiming
Good Record, Seeks to
Prevent Dismissal.

William z. Robinson Of Virginia, a
veteran of the world war. employed
as an auditor in the internal revenue
bureau, today filed a suit for an in
junction against Treasury Department
officials to prevent his discharge from
government employ next Tuesday.
Through Attorney Harlan Wood the
employe claims that his proposed dis
charge is in violation of law and
quotes a section of the statute of
August %, 1912, which declares That
in the event Of reductions being made
in the force in any Of the executive
departments no honorably discharged
soldier or sailor whose record in said
department Is rated good shall be dis
charged or dropped or reduced In rank
or salary"
Robinson tells tho court he volun-
tarily enlisted in the military serv-
ice of the United States December
10, 1917. went to France and served
overseas from October. 1918. to jan
uary 81, 1919. He was honorably
discharged March 3, 1919. and Sep
tember /. 1920. was appointed an
auditor and qualified under the civil
service. He has been engaged in
auditing income tax returns at a
salary of $500. The plaintiff de-
clares his efficiency record has been
good and points out that he has since
April last turned out an average of
eighty cases a month, while the
good" rating requires but fifty cases
a month. He tells the court that de-
spite the clear wording of tho law
he has been notified that his services
will be discontinued July 81.
The attention of the court Is also
called to letter from Secretary Mel
Ion to the other officials of the Treas
ury Department. calling attention to
the statute relied on by Robinson and
pointing out that any violation of
the provisions makes the official liza

day to have been drafted with the
determination to exhaust every means
of reaching a full accord with the
British.
Delivery Of the French note is only
awaiting word from Brussels that the
Belgian note to London also is ready.
The French communication. in any
case. will be delivered by the begin

an excellent occasion, 1t Is thought. for

may be overcome. 1t is considered. by

Soliciting funds for the Costello
Post memorial is a paying job. ac-
cording to information given The Star
today.
Solicitors who responded to news
paper advertisements by calling at
an office in the Southern building
have been making 20 per cent Of
everything they collected in the name
or the Post and the American Legion
and 80 per cent of the remainder, 1t
Is stated. has been going to those in

This leaves so per cent for the memo
rial to those who died in France.
The Costello Post campaign was
temporarily halted yesterday when
1t was announced that the COM
mander of the post, DIR. Walter r
Sullivan, has called off the drive, for
the time being. pending official au-
thorization from District legion Of
