he had paid his tax.
Williams said he had been asked
not to make public the name until
the probe is completed.
The General Accounting Office
has also been called into the pic
ture and is in process of complet-
ing an audit to determine the total
amount of the shortage as well as
to bring to light the person in
volved.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Williams read to the Senate the fol-
lowing letter which he received
from Mr.. Schoeneman:
"Mr. Dear Senator:
1T was indeed distressing to me
to learn in a telephone conserva-
ton with you this morning that in
ferences embarrassing to you had
been drawn from a situation which
developed in the office of the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue, Whining
ton, Delaware. hasten to assure
you that there is absolutely nothing
in this situation which reflects in
any way upon any transactions be-
tween either you or Mrs. Williams
and the Internal Revenue Service.
Facts OF Case
"The facts are there. Some
months ago, discovery was made ol
a defalcation on the part of one ol
the employees of the Collector o.
Internal Revenue for the Distrfc
of Delaware. This defalcation wa:
accomplished by taking cash re
mitted by one taxpayer and latel
covering the shortage by applying
the payment of another Taxpayer
to the first account. One of tn,
! checks thus used to cover all EN-
bezzlement was q check which yol
remitted in payment of the estima
ted tax of yourself and Mrs. Viii
liams.
obviously, this is a matter owe
which you could not possibly hav
had any control, and l sincerel,
hope that this explanation will
clear UP any misunderstanding
which exists in the mind of anyon
concerning the affair.
Il may add that appropriate &C
tion is being taken under the OF
Tending employees bond to adjus
your account and others involved
The question of prosecution of tn
erring employe Is now in the hand
OF the appropriate United State
District Attorney.

williams revealed for the frs
time the fact that ne and Senator
{. Douglass Buck have been CON
ductine a quiet undercover investi-
cation of the Wilmington Internal
Revenue Office for several months.
AS a result of their findings an en-
ploye OF that office is facing federal
grand jury charges, he declared.
Prosecution Pledged
Williams read the Senate let
Ter from George ]. Schoeneman, U.
s. commissioner of Internal Rev
enue. acknowledging the existence
of "defalcation" in the Wilmington
Office, and promising swift prosecu-
ton cf the offender.
Here Is the story told by the Del
aware senator in the Senate cham
Der:
Several months ago he and Sena-
tor Buck received complaints from
taxpayers In Delaware that they
we're being dunned for tax accounts
after having mailed in payments
largely in connection with their
income taxi. The senator's suspic-
ions were aroused and they had an
Investigator from the staff of the
House appropriations committee to
go to Wilmington to make an in
vestigation. at the same time the
Washington offlce of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue began to make an
independent profile itself.
Slow Progress
~At first progress was slow .
Williams later told newsmen, '.un-
til We uncovered the fact that one
Of the accounts that had been Jug
gIed was my own. From there on
progress has been fast and we now
have an air-tight case"
Williams said the money was ta-
ken by absconding with funds mail
ed In by taxpayers and marking
their accounts delinquent" De-
iiciences were later covered by TAX
ing funds sent In by another tax
payer and applying them to the
first.
The shortage, however. run ur
during this game, now amounts to

ers have pretty well sewn up
the supplies.
Then, strangely enough, along
comes Timken Roller Bearing
Co. of Canton, O., advertising ex-
pensively that the boxcar short
age is a result of the steel and
coal strikes.
AND even an undertaken can
see that the fault therefore, is
not newsprint monopoly, but Ia
Dor trouble.
That seems to be the angle
which Wherry and his group will
take, carefully proving that steel
cannot be made without coal and
boxcars cannot be constructed
without steel. 1t will offer a sim
pie formula fitting right into the
program of antilabor legislation
set up by Sen. Joseph H. Ball (R,
Mimi.
After that Wherry can get
the Senate floor and protest to
high heaven that labor is ruin
ing small business and choking
off necessary supplies of news,
print. The only trouble is that
the small publisher and labor
paper editors called upon to tes-
tify will point out the monOp-
oily angles.
To counter this difficulty,
Wherry's chief counsel, Dickey,
is calling in adverse witnesses in
advance of their public appear
ance and seeming to agree with
their position as he makes notes
on their testimony.
With this in hand, Dickey will
prime other witnesses to be on
hand to water down or fatty
deny these charges, and create
what barristers call reasonable
doubt.
1t isn't a pretty picture = but
neither is a SOS funeral.

ghettoes of the End and Bird
wards. This added competition
for living space would then
shoot up rentals and profits in
that area when the real estate
lobby succeeds in killing rent
control.
The rich realty interests
would then raze the vacated
dwellings and erect a huge
apartment project for tenants
in the upper income brackets,
thus taking huge profits that
could never be realized from
the Negroes now living in En-
glewood. With these two
shots, they figure they can't
miss.
BUT they reckoned without
the colored citizens of Engle-
wood. Friday night l at

glewood Citizens Protective

the fighting leaders of this

done to save their homes.
First, they went to the four
aldermanic candidates, asking
them to go on record against
this raw deal by Big Business.
But the candidates, both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, refused.

oily to choke of competition and
hog the newsprint supply.
But Wherry isn't going to make
the task appear simple. He has
appointed as his chief counsel one
Ray Dickey, who represented a
group of wholesale grocers in the
fight on price control and OPA.

ANOTHER resolution, OppoS-

send protests to Congress.
The meeting also set up COM
mittees in different sections of
the area to arouse the union
membership to the danger fac
ing the labor movement.
A resolution in support of high
er salaries for Illinois teachers
was also adopted. The gathering
went on record favoring a bill

and Republicans are in the
main political arms of the
moneyed interests.
BUT they didn't give up. In
stead, they decided to run their
own candidates for alderman.
This was Feb. q, only four
days before election, without
previous political experience,
with nothing but a determine
ton to fight, they alerted the
community.
When the votes were count
ed, nearly 900 had written
in the name of Joseph Hicks
for alderman. That's almost
as many as Herman Tai
nadge got for governor in
the whole state of Georgia.
Of course Hicks wasn't elect
ed, but that's not too impor.
tant. Nobody expected him to
win. But it was stirring eX-
ample of Independent political
action yelling up from dissatis-
fled people in these dark and
fearful days of reaction. These

sives TALK. And it wouldn't
hurt for the Progressive Citi-
zens of America to get ac-
quainted out in Englewood
BIG Business also knows
that anything which sharpens
conflict between whites and
Negroes helps Big Business.
When whits try to drive Ne
groes from their homes serves
to create anti-white feeling
among Negroes, it's a blow
against organized labor, for it
weakens the still developing
alliance between the unions
and Negroes which is basic for
a strong labor movement.
It seems to me ESSENTIAL that
the unions get into the fight
to save the homes of these
citizens and block the manipu-
lations of Big Business on this
front. It is also a dramatic
way of forging another strong
link with the Negro people by
letting them know that white
labor is on their side. With re-
action ruling in Washington,
both labor and Negroes need
all the friends they can get.
But even if they must stand
alone, the people of Eng!e-
wood will carry on. l am proud
of their militancy.
