Big Gamblers Evade Taxes

In the opinion of this columnist, tax fraud and tax evasion are now more prevalent than at any time in years. This means, of course, that those who do pay their taxes have to pay more to make up for those who don't.
 There used to be one category of citizens against which the Treasury never pulled its punches-the un- derworld. It took an income tax case to send gangSter Al Capone to jail, while various underworld fig ures have been caught in the in- come-tax mesh after all other av- enues failed. Today, however, even the underworld is safe from In- come-tax prosecution-provided they know the right people. Here is Q case in roint.
 Most notorious gambling networx in Southern California operates under the name of the Guarantee Finance Company of Los Angeles which serves not only as a respec- table cover, but loans money tc bookies and acts as payoff center
 Recently Los Angeles County in- dicted F members of this cover agency.
 Prior to this indictment. however the Federal Government through the conscietious Internal Revenue agents on the West Coast haC caught four of these big-tim, gamblers in what appeared to b, a clear. case of tax fraud. Cover. nor Warren's fortnight Californ ia Crime Commission was respons ible for the original clue. The Grim, Commission had seized some of tn gamblers books and turned then over to the T-Men.
 Before doing so, however, tn California Crime Commission spec ifically asked the U s. Treasur whether it would be willing to co operate in cleaning up the Calf ornia gambling racket, and go an affirmative answer.
 Accordingly, T-Men Dan E. Good ykoontz, Internal Revenue Intelli gence agent for San Francisco Ralph Read, another Intelligenc agent, and Walter M. Campbell c the Chief Counsel's Office in Sa

Protection Money

PrCtectf0n 4MOHty
 In 1943, the Guarantee F1nance Company listed in it's income-tax return s24S,00o paid to Lopez" and another s1O8,Ooo paid to Special. No further explanation of these huge expenditures was given, but it appeared from Treasury investi- gation that slo9,0o0 was paid to runners, and that the S248,000 to Lopez was probably paid for po- lice protection.
 The gambling company's 1947 in- come-tax return was somewhat sim liar, with S247,000 paid to Lopez and Sl09000 paid to Special"
 After preparing what they con- sidered an airtight case, the West Coast T-Men came to Washington where they recommended the pro- secution of Marvin Kovey, Albert Kogus, Harry Rockwell and Phil Colbert, the chief partners of the Iuarantee Finance Company.
 In Washington, a Treasury con- ference took place between the three West Coast TMen, together wsth Charles Oliphant, General Counsel of Internal Revenue; w. H. Woolfe, head of the Intelligence unit; and Riley Campbell, in charge of Internal Revenues penal divi- sion. It seemed certain from this discussion that criminal prosecu- ion of the above-named gamblers would be recommended to the Jus tice Department. One other official attending this conference was Assistant Commits sioner Of Internal Revenue Daniel |, A. Bolich, who has been seen ln New York in the company Of the famous gambling king, Frankie Cos tello

cessfully. For l1ie supposedly air tight case against Kovey, Kogus, Rockwell, and Colbert was immediat- ely dropped. The Treasury has done absolutely nothing since.
 Only other development is that Los Angeles County has now in- dicted Kovey, Kogus, Rockwell and Colbert. As far as the U. s. Trea- sury is concerned, however, no eff fort has been made to proceed with criminal prose cution.

Follow lime and fertilizer re-

Follow other good cultural
