EmbezzIement Trial
1estifies Thot Formon
Ordered Entries Chonoed
To Avoid Poyinq Toxes

Albert w. steinberg, 43, former
oookkeeper and office manager for
Forman, Inc, wholesale liquor deal
ers, from whom he is charged with
embezzling more than 5000, today
testified he kept the firms books in
accordance with instructions from
Alexander Forman, president, who,
he claimed. had expressed himself
"as determined not to pay taxes"
After taking the stand in his own
defense on the 10th day of his trial
In District Court, Steinberg said
Forman had instructed him to enter
c. o. DIS on the books as charge
accounts. He testified that the
firms president asserted that
through this practice he CForman)
could get the money out of this
business without having to account
for it."
Steinberg testified that money
collected and entered as charges was
taken out by Forman and counted.
Forman, he said, would later say:
Here Is something for you"
Tell of New Business.
Earlier, while replying to questions
asked by Defense Attorney Austin
F. Garfield, Steinberg quoted For
man as having said in effect that
there was no need to buy new books
to open the wholesale liquor busi-
ness because there were books left
over from the bootlegging business.
Steinberg said he came here in
1884 from Baltimore to help open
the business. He said he had known
Forman since 1927 when called by
him to examine some books in Bal
timore. He asserted he had told
Forman at one time that he would
do anything for him because For
man had loaned him approximately
$500 in 1881 for the medical care of
a son who was i'll.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Bernard Margolius and John L.
Ingoldsby, jr., who are prosecuting
Steinberg, planned to cross-examine
him in detail.

Black Market
Hears Complaints
Some Dealers Double
Legal Charge

The local Office of Price Admins
tration has launched an investiga-
ton of black market operations in
apples after receiving two COM
plants indicating that some dealers
were charging consumers here near
ly 100 per cent over legal prices.
This was disclosed today by En-
forcement Attorney John L. Laskey
in the wake of an announcement
that the OPA was planning to pre-
sent to the District grand jury evi-
dence of alleged black market opera
tions in onions. The case involves
one of the city's largest wholesalers.
Mr.. Laskey issued instructions to
price panels to be on the lookout
for complaints of over-ceiling apple
sales and also to watch for VIOLA
tions at the wholesale level. He said
the agency had received a consider
able number of complaints recently,
in the face of a growing scarcity Of
fresh apples.
One consumer told of paying 20
cents pound for apples which have
ceiling price Of. 1012 cents a
pound-roughly 100 per cent over
charge-while many others had
complained of lesser overcharges.
Final decision to take the onion
case to the grand jury was to be
made at a meeting today of Mr..
Laskey and representatives Of the
District attorneys office.
Investigation has shown that
onions. which were billed as peppers
here, were sent last week to dealers
at Fredericksburg, Va. The onions
allegedly sold for $40 a hundred
pounds, while the ceiling price is
roughly IS hundred pounds.
Mr.. Laskey said investigators were
looking into the possibility that the
wholesaler had been selling onions
to dealers here at above ceiling
