Andrews said the bureau this year, despite the heaviest tax load in history, was able to- handle tax returns with more speed and less inconvenience than ever before. Refunds were' earlier, audits faster and rulings quicker, he said.

Cattle, Grain Theft Ring In Middle West Two Men Sentenced On Pleas Os Guilty INDIANAPOMS UP — FBI and state authorities today reported a cattle rustling and grain theft ring whose Indiana-based operations reiportedly have netted several hundred thousand dollars. ' A long investigation has resulted in the arrest of two men. Barkwell H. Johnson, 25, Alamo, Ga., and Ray WUtson, 18, who pleaded guilty to grand larceny charges and were sentenced to 1-torlO years in Indiana prisons. A third man, George Adams. 63, Putnamville farm owner, has been charged with a similar offense. At least three are sought. Authorities said the gang operated in states and headquartered ar"a 400-acre farm in Hendricks County. They said most of th4 thefts occurred ip southern Illinois and some of the stolen livestock was sold at the Indianapolis stockyards. The gang used modern methods working at night with a c-overed truck. The cattle often were (butchered in the vehicle as the thieves L.ped away in the darkness, aepording to reports. Grain thefts ranged from 50nouttd sacks to trailer loads, hauled away bj- pick-up truck or tractor. Indiana edunties affected included Putnam, Clay, Park e and Hendricks. The case broke a month ago wherf two Chicago teen-agers arrested in a stolen car near Putnamville told Indiana state 'police they helped in the cattle rustling. They implicated the others and said the ring had been active for nearly five years. The FBI was called in when it was learned some of the grain was stolen from federal elevators and that meat-from stolen livestock had been sold in interstatfUshipment.
