Work on Revamping
OF Revenue Bureau
To Start Next Month
By Cecil HolIond

President Truman's plan to re-
organize the scandal-hit Bureau
of Internal Revenue-a measure
he has described as vital for the
fight against corruption in Gov
ernment-can be put in effect
now starting at midnight tonight.
The far-reaching plan passed
its last congressional hurdle when
the Senate voted late yesterday
for its adoption, SO to 81.
The vote came on a resolution
to disapprove the plan. Opponents
failed by IL votes to muster the
necessary 40, a majority of the
membership of the Senate, to de-
feat the plan.
After the vote, Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia told re-
porters: Its now squarely up to
the President. the Secretary of the
Treasury and the commissioner of
internal revenue, not only in
Washington but across the coun-
try"
"Pilot Districts" Chosen.
Secretary Snyder told a news
conference today New York and
Chicago have been chosen as 'pi-
lot districts" for setting up the
plan. First steps will be taken
shortly after April /.
He said the changes will be
held up briefly so that there will
be no interference with % the
filing and collection of this years
income tax returns, due tomor-
row, and CD the mailing of 80
million tax refund checks, now in
progress.
Revenue Commissioner John B.
Dunlap. who met reporters with
Mr.. Snyder, said he has sent a
message to all revenue employees
declaring:
This is the biggest oppor-
tInity ever handed to a group of
Government employees to join to-
gether in forging a truly revital-
lied agency of Government de-
signed to serve the best interests
of both the citizen and Govern
ment."
Most Collectors Due to Go.
Mr.. Dunlap said the Civil Serv-
ice Commission is now establish
ing 1.-The highest standards" for
these jobs. Most of the present
collectors are expected to leave
the service, although some may
be retained.
Mr.. Snyder said the transfer to
complete Civil Service status will
be completed by December l. He
said there would be no announce
ment of names of the new dis
trict commissioners before April /.
Mr.. Snyder added that the coll
lectorS would remain at their jobs
until their areas are revamped
under the reform plan.
Seen as Outstanding Service.
Mr.. Dunlap said the Revenue
Bureau should become the Gov
ernment's outstanding career
service" He said all positions
under the commissioner will be
filled solely in accordance with
the civil service merit system
based upon the highest standards
of competence, integrity and 10y
atty"
Mr.. Snyder stressed "this does
not mean blanketing present COL
lectorS into civil service" He
said the present collectors could
take a civil service examination
for the job of district commits
Sioner or deputy district commits
sioner if they think they can meet
the high standards" that will be
required.
Chairman King of the House
Ways and Means subcommittee
investigating tax scandals said in
a statement he was intensely
gratif1ed" by the Senate vote.

Three Music Artists Due Nexf Week

Not one, but three, celebrated artists will be heard on the op- Cning program of the l952 -53 Alaska Music Trail concert sc rics on Saturday, October I, at S pm. in the Methodist Church, sponsored by the Seward Con cert Association.
 A trio with Bella Urban, Luigi Silva and Maxim Schapiro play ing violin, cello and piano, offers almost unlimited musical enjoy ment. Often the ViolinSt takes the lead in the performance and plays the star part of the cnScm- ble, but with this group especi ally formed for introducing this famous kind of music to Alaska audiences of the AMT, each in strument will share equally in presenting the beautiful and we'll known music of Mozart, TSchaikoWsky, Handel (arranged by Halvorsem and Grieg.
 Especially popular is the vio- lin and cello playing with a background of the piano to re echo the singing melodies and exciting creScendos of the strings.
 Luigi Silva and Maxim Scha- piro are coming as old friends because of former tours in the North where they have many warm friendships, Both artists have made great strides in their respective careers as world ia nous concert artists since last here. Bella Urban, young Hun standardization, is recognized for his successful New York re citalS in Town Hall and Carnegie Hall V here he received the high est acclaim from the critics. He has appeared in the large music centres as soloiSt with symphony

SCHOOL, HOSPITAL. PAvING

Which shall we have? All, or none? Seward can have all three projects, because thy are all on application. Il remains only for the electorate 10 show approval by voting IaVorably in the com ing special election October II.
 An unfortunate factional dis pute has arisen in Seward in re cent weeks over the priority of school and hospital The matter of priority can be settled after election. The priority of need should not hold up any one or all projects at this critical time.
 The immediate need for addi- tional school facilities must be apparent to everybody in Sew ard. and more especially to those parents who have children houS ed outside the school building The School Board is asking that the school be moved into mum Der one place on the priority list which is now held by the hos pital. There is little doubt that the hospital group will recognize the schools right to this place by virtue of extreme need. But the hospital plans should not be cast aside completely when it is pos slble by single election to ob- tain both projects.
 AS for street paving; 1t can al so be included in the election now, and built at a later date, next year or even the year after.
 To get under the wire" for appropriations from Conress, all proposed construction must be applied for NOW, so that funds will be appropriated. The matter of priorities can be settled by the simple process of sending a letter from the Mayor and City Coun- cil to the Director of Public Works.
 Seward has been behind on obtaining Federal assistance SeV- eral times, simply because we have been too slow, Let's not miss the boat tAis time. Vote YES for ALL THREE projects school, hospital, paving - then make it plain to the City Council which should come first, by pub lie hearing if necessary, or an other vote.

IS Doctors and Dentists
Drafted as Enlisted Men

Selective service said yesterday
that Is doctors and dentists ac-
tually had been indicted into the
armed services as enlisted men up
to June l.
At the same time it was dis
closed that the armed forces are
turning more toward reliance on
the draft to obtain needed men
from those professions.
A selective service official said
three doctors had been drafted as
enlisted men out of TIT physicians
called through the Selective Serv-
ice System up to that date, with
IL dentists inducted as enlisted
men out of $40 called. Men taken
into the services in that manner,
even if they are commissioned
later, lost the extra $100 q month
paid to those who volunteer.
Doctors and dentists, under
special law. may accept commits
sions up to the time they must
report for duty. If they fail to &C
cept commissions, or to qualify
for them, they are inducted. In at
least two cases. selective service
said dentists were drafted as en-
listed men because they refused
to sign loyalty oaths.

Foi|ed in Theft, Boy, 9,
Sets $4,000 Fire

A 9-year-old boy has admitted
setting fire to Southeast Wash
tngton cleaning establishment
Sunday because he was unable to
break into a cash register and a
soft drink machine.
The boy was picked up Monday
after Fire Inspector Warren C.

place and who was extremely
small.
The description fit a known
juvenile offender in the area, a
boy less than feet tall with a

On questioning. the boy said he
set fire to the Tower Cleaners,
1101 U street Sc, about 3 pm.
Sunday by dropping lighted pack

clothes. The blaze resulted in
damages estimated between $780,
