Tox Evusion Evidence

Internal revenue agents were
reported today to be continuing
an investigation of the incomes Of
Washington and Prince Georges
County Md gamblers and their
associates to determine If there is
sufficient evidence Of tax evasion
to place before q Federal grand

The inquiry began more than
seven months ago when agents
armed with Federal papers OBJ
tanned access to a safe deposit box
In the First National Bank Of Up

firmed the incident but declined
to reveal the name Of the person
who had rented the deposit box.
1t was learned from a reliable
source that Justice Department

had been checking sources of in
come, assets and other details rel
ative to possible tax evasion by
suspected persons in the last few
days.
One businessman. who asked
that his name be withheld. said
he had been informed that the
man whose safe deposit box had
been opened was a law-enforce-
ment officer and not a gambler
Agreed TO Meet Agents.
The agents, 1t was said. tele-
phoned one morning and explained
to the man that they had a court
order for an inspection OF his
deposit box. He was said to have
agreed to meet them at the bank
that afternoon.
The agents, however. were re-
ported to have gone to the bank
before 1t opened. in case the man
might attempt to get to his box
prior 10 their engagement. The
man in question. 1t was said. ap-
peared that morning as soon as
the bank opened and had no
choice but to lead the agents to
the box.
The same source said he had
information that Prince Georges
County politicians had attempted
to bring pressure on the Justice
Department to drop the investiga-
ton. but had been informed that
the case was in the hands OF the
Internal Revenue Bureau.

but the operators were braveiy
saying they expected the men TO
follow provisions of the Taft

without q new agreement until
