charges against her in the dis

violated a rule that Internal

responsive ito proper authority"
and that she had made accusa-
/ lions against her superior officer

said. that the principal charge
against Miss Miller was that she
had given these books to me
rather than having turned them
over to the bureau inspectors.

Senator Williams, Republican,
of Delaware has accused the In
ternal Revenue Service of bar
ring from Federal employment
a woman who tipped him off to
tax scandal evidence.
Senator Williams named her
as Mrs. Lucille Affolter, who as
Miss Lucille Miller was a recep-
ZIONIST in the Pittsburgh Office
of the agency, then called the
Internal Revenue Bureau.
He said that in 1853 she gave
him two Office diaries and other
confidential information which
helped bring about several in
dictments and convictions" Sem
ator Williams said he used her
information, along with tips
from others. as the basis for
Senate speeches which helped set
off grand jury Investigations of
tax scandals.
He said Miss Miller, in letters
to Washington, had complained
of conditions in the Pittsburgh
office, but withdrew her charges
when revenue agents demanded
proof or a retraction.
Senator Williams related in
a Senate address:
On June IS, 1858, eight days
after she turned over her diaries
to him, she was fired. He pro-
tested and the firing was can
celled.
After she was married she
resigned from the Job. Then,
last spring, the service refused
to turn over money she had paid
into the retirement fund. He
protested again and the money
was released.
Senator Williams said he had
found, however, that her civil
service file had been tagged by
the bureau in such a manner as
