Government 10 Indict Her
By the Associated Press

WESTPORT, Conn, Aug. q
Vivien Kellems has tossed two more
letters into her withholding tax
fight with the Government
One went yesterday to President
Truman and the other to Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder. Both asked
again that she be indicted for re-
fusing to withhold income taxes
from her workers pay envelopes.
Miss Kellems, operator of small
cable grip manufacturing plant,
stopped withholding taxes several
months ago. She contended that
the withholding tax law was un-
constitutional and said she wanted
to be indicted to bring about a
Supreme Court test of her views.
Miss Kellems, addressing Mr..
Truman not only as President "but
also as a candidate in the coming
election" said that as a voter she
wished to know how he felt about
the withholding tax.
In her latest letter to Mr.. Snyder,
Miss Kellems said that while she
had not withheld the taxes. the
workers themselves had paid them
directly to the Collector of Internal
Revenue for Connecticut.
