■Holds High Ranking Position*
Hoppe's lawyer, John P. Witsil,
said the- official now holds "one

in the tax service. His name will
come out when Hoppe's salary
suit reaches trial in the U.S. Court ,
of Claims. Witsil said. He told
newsmen the case might not be
tried for a full year. It was filed
Aug. 19.
Humphrey said Hoppe was “one
of those unfortunate cases where '
a man with long experience was
advanced to a position of impor-
tance that proved to be beyond
his capacity and ability.”
Hoppe was a 24-year career fed-
eral employe when he was dis-
missed from his $14,800-a-year post
as assistant commissioner of in-
ternal revenue in 1953. Humphrey
said it had been “hoped he might
be transferred to a lesser position
for which his ability might ade-
quately fit him, but it soon be-
came apparent that even this was
impossible because of his belliger-
ent attitude and disrespect for his
superiors.”
