offices was made today by John +.
Riley, deputy collector here, fol-
lowing order from Washington
throwing the records open to the
public.
Compilers Of sucker lists prob
hbly will flood our offices with re-
quests for names of all persons who
paid income taxes of over $1,000"
Riley said. "Although it is believ-
ed against the law to publish these
names and amounts, it probably
would not be against the law to
write them letters. Promoters of
financial schemes who solicit victims
by mail may be expected to seek an
authentic, up to date list Of wealthy
prospects.
"The ruling of the commissioner,
however, gives the office discretion
in making the lists public and our
overworked office force no doubt
will be unable TO give sucker lists
compilers any assistance whatever. "
