The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-28

office-allowing the Republicans to enter.
 During the election campaign, McLevy lambasted Democrats and Republicans alike, always using as his source of material grand jury report.
 Federal agents, members of the income tax division of the Internal Revenue Bureau, are also conduct ing probe. concerning the payment of income taxes by those upon whom suspicion was cast by the grand jury. Secrecy of such a degree has cov- cred this probe, however, that not even the names of those questioned have been available.
 Federal Agents
 As many as five federal agents have been working in Waterbury at various times before and since the grand jury filed its report. Sev- eral of the officials who were charged with conspiracy by the grand jury have been questioned by the federal agents.
 Whether or not any charges of evasion of income tax returns will be made by the government hinges on the developments of this probe, which is believed to be still in progress.
 Several times while the grand jury was in session, federal men were seen at the courthouse, which was the scene of the investigation. It is believed that they conferred with grand jury officials, and pos sibly obtained figures from the rec ordS of officials whose books were in the custody of the grand jury.
 Before filing its report with Judge Ernest A. Inglis, the grand jury held 46 sessions and examined ai- most 150 witnesses. Expenditures of the probe to date, according to bills approved in superior court, have passed the $5O,OOO mark. Fees to MT. Alcorn and his staff are not in- cluded in this figure. however.

 The grand jury then resumed its investigations, apparently turning its attentions to new fields, as de- fense counsel started veritable barrage of preliminaries, attacking constitutionality of the entire pro- cedure which had resulted in the of arrests.

 At the present time the grand jury is in recess, and from all indi- cations will remain dormant indef- initely because of the trial. Whether or not another intensive period of probing will be instituted at any time in the future by the grand jury is a very indefinite question. At the time of the first report, there were rumors, all unverifiable, that the jury would recommend addi- tional arrests upon re-convening.
 DOubIe- Dealing
 Republicans and Democrats alike have been scored by the grand jury for allegedly engaging themselves in double dealing politics. Many who were not actually arrested as result of the probe, have been SO severely criticized that their careers as leaders of political factions are scotched if not obliterated.
