Meanwhile, some developments
may be expected in the Revenue De

with Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr., as ex
ecutive assistant commissioner, in
charge of personnel, probably in
keeping with the campaign assertions
of Governor Ehringhaug that the de
partment should be made more ef
ficient. The talk follows disclosures
that there have been irregularities,
probably amounting to petty embez
zlements of minor officials in the
Revenue Department, leading D.r
Noble to issue a brief statement that
audits are being made and all infor-
