Since the revelations during the fire conspiracy case there have been reports of secret investiga tions into the affairs of the Corps which formerly had Captain 8. E. Miles as Chief Officer.

It was announced last October that Mr. G. H. Whiteman had been appointed Chief Officer. He had been acting Chief since November of last year, and for the past 22 years he has been secretary of the Corps.
