Secretary of the Treasury Shaw explains that Thomas W. Gilmer requested a transfer from his position as expert accountant in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury even if his salary had to be reduced. It is not possible to transfer Gilmer to a $2,000 position except in an unfamiliar field. The head of the bureau and Gilmer appear satisfied with the present arrangement.
