CHAPMAN'S w a. v m I We Give and' Redeem ARROW STAMPS MAIN DIAL 2-5623 Discharge of Top Infernal Revenue Official Scanned New York (U.R) The New York Herald Tribune said today that "a major political scandal will explode momentarily in Washington" over the firing of a top career official of the Internal Revenue Service. He charges he was dismissed for refusing to conduct a whitewash investiga tion of a political appointee. In a copyrighted story from Washington, the newspaper said Edgar E. Hoppe, a Dallas, Tex., attorney who entered the Inter nal Revenue Service during the Hoover administration, was fired on Oct. 7, 1953, from his post as chief of the department's in spection service. Involved in the case, the Her ald Tribune said, are Internal Revenue Commissioner T. Cole man Andrews -and Deputy Com missioner O. O. Gordon Delk, who allegedly sought the "white wash" report and fired Hoppe for refusing it; Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, Assistant Secretary H. Chapman Rose and General Counsel Elbert Tuttle who refused to intervene in the case, and the Civil Service Com mission which refused Hoppe a hearing. The newspaper said Hoppe last month filed a suit in the Court of Claims for $26,823 in back pay, which must be answered by the government by Oct. 19. The Herald Tribune said the files of the case had been made available to it by Hoppe's at torney, former Department of Pustice attorney John P. Witsil. It said Andrews had been told details of the story, "listened at tentivey, laughed, and said he appreciated the opportunity but could be quoted as saying 'no comment'." The newspaper did not ident ify the "key official .. . . still on the payroll" about whom Hoppe allegedly found derogatory infor mation that he was asked to sup press. Quoting from Hoppe's report to the Civil Service Commission, it said his division began an "in tegrity investigation of an of ficial being brought into a high post by Mr. Andrew and Mr. Delk" in February, 1953. Hoppe's report showed, it was reported, that the man had set up a phoney dependency to avoid or delay military service, that he had been rejected by a draft board as a psychoneurotic and was involved in. difficulties in volving possible litigation at a large university. - Hoppe's report said Delk was critical on several occasions of the scope of the investigation and "criticized me again for making the reports available to Civil Service." ; : Hoppe was quoted as saying that .after the report was com pleted, on "May 29, Delk bluntly asked him if he would consider a transfer to become director in the Southwest, a Civil Service downgrading of two steps. A month later, the newspaper said, Hoppe was called before Andrews who, he said, "told me he not only wanted me out of my present post, he wanted me out of the service.".
