Mr.. St. Peter asked 1t, Monroe
on what basis the children were
pulled in"
THE lieutenant is under no
obligation to answer that ques-
tion," Capt. Murphy said. You

1t. Monroe then explained that
certain children had been named
as the ones who broke the Van
Blasingame windows last month
and had been identified by other
white children. He said one boy
who was brought into the station
by his uncle confessed to break

others. The Walter boy was not
implicated.
He said the investigation was
not over, would continue and that
so far no arrests had been made.
Warrant Unnecessary.
He went on to say that it is
unnecessary to have a warrant in
juvenile cases. The police only
follow up complaints made by
citizens and send statement of
the results of their investigation
to Juvenile Court. The court then
tells the parents when to bring
the child to court. No warrants
are issued for persons under 18
years of age, he added.
If the Walters had been home,
they would have been asked to
bring him to the precinct" 1t.

u. ). Workers
Who Owe Taxes
Put at 1900
Old Legislation Bors
Attaching Of Pay
Of DeIinquents

The Federal Government can
force its employees to file income
tax returns but can't make them
pay.
About 10000 who filed from the
District and Maryland, and other
hundreds from Virginia, are de-
linquent in payments, an Internal
Revenue Bureau official said yes
terday.
An old act of Congress protects
them, as well as all Federal en-
ployes, from having their wages
attached by anyone-including the
Government.
The Treasury last year asked
Congress to plug the loophole. The
House approved an amendment all
lowing the Government to attach
wages of Government employees for
non-payment of income taxes. Be-
cause of controversy over some Of
the 30 other proposed amend
ments, the bill did not get through
Congress. Treasury officials indi-
Gated they will try again.
Matter of Principle.
1t is more a matter of principle
than money, in the opinion of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. In
come tax delinquencies among
Federal workers don't add up to
terrific amount" and in most
individual cases are below S100,
a spokesman said:
Something has to be done
about this" he declared. Fed
eral employees. like anybody else.
are required to file income tax
returns and are liable to punish
ment if they don't. In the case
of the average taxpayer, the Gov
ernment can't put a man in Jail
for not paying but it has ways Of
getting payment through attach
ment of salaries and by court
liens.
1--WE can understand the pur-
pose of the law that exempts
Government employees from at
tachment of their wages. One
reason is to protect the Govern
ment from possible outside inter-
ference with it's operations and
personnel But we believe the
Government ought to be able to
attach the pay of its own en-
ployes if they don't pay taxes to
the Government.
Day of Reckoning.
The Government is not entirely
helpless in the situation, the
Internal Revenue Bureau official
added.
A day Of reckoning comes when
delinquent employe retires. The
bureau can obtain an offset from
his last salary check before re-
tirement or against his retire.
ment payments. it was explained.
In most cases that is a long and
uncertain wait.
! Meanwhile hoping for congress
sional action, the bureau Is
pressing in every other way pos
sible" for collection.
! 1--WE have asked the co-opera-
ton of agencies to get their peo-
pie to pay up" the spokesman
said. "but I must admit that the
agencies generally have been re-
luctant to put any pressure on
their personnel"
Another weapon in the Internal
Revenue Bureaus collection ar
senal is the Federal tax lien. Fed
era lemployes are as subject to
liens on houses. automobiles and
similar property as is anyone else.
But" the bureau official COM
mented, that isn't as effective
as attaching Federal employees
