workers and New York State 297,-

workers in the District. A total OF

Treasury Agents
Push Tax Probe
In Maryland
Declare 'Surfoee
Is Only Scratched
In Investigation
BY the Assoeis ted Press.

by the Associated Press.
Treasury agents who have uncov-
cred q number of Maryland tax
evasion cases leading to indictments
have only scratched the surface,
the department contends.
The intensified, Nationwide cam
paign against tax evaders already
has resulted in the voluntary settle
ment of cases involving millions OF
dollars, department spokesman
said, while the Treasury is building
I up its staff of Investigators.
Most productive fields for investi-
cation in the drive started by for
mer Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau, this official said, have been
liquor dealers, both legal and black
market, used-car dealers, jewelers.
and furriers, and meat and sugar
black marketeers.
100000 Liquor Case.
In what he characterized as one
of many liquor cases in Maryland,
this official said agents have found
one liquor wholesaler they assert
owes approximately 100000 in back
income taxes, penalties and interest.
Treasury officials are not per-
mitted to identify persons under in
vestigation unless an indictment has
been returned and they refer all
cases which seem to be worthy of
prosecution to the Justice Depart
ment.
A spokesman said another Mary
land case under investigation in
wolves a firm of dealers in scrap
metal who. the agents contend, owe
additional taxes and penalties Of
s130,000 for the years 1942 to 1914,
inclusive. Agents. reports assert the
firm understated its sales receipts
and charged graft payments-in-
volving their methods of obtaining
metal-as commissions and there
fore. as legitimate deductible ex-
penses.
The Treasury Department official
cited these as other cases involving
MarylanderS:
Investigate Physician.
A physician was found to have
had a gross income OF about $40 900
over a period of seven years, but
failed to account for nearly 5000
on his income tax returns. Agents
estimate he owes $4,000 in back
taxes and penalties.
A retail liquor dealer already has
signed an agreement to pay $4,000
in back taxes and penalties on
unreported income for the years
1871 to 1943, inclusive.
A tavern keeper was found to
have filed no income tax returns
prior to 1913 He told investigators
he was making only a bare living
In those years and thought it un-
necessary to file returns. A check
