States exert a more vital force for
peace"
Earlier he held out the grim
prospect that the cold war with
Russia will continue for long,
long time"
In his speech to trainside crowd
here, the President said
I'VE have been making real prog

work. Already, atomic research has
led to important discoveries in med

it will lead to much better grains
and livestock on our farms"
The Science Foundation Act, he
said, will make possible the de-
yelopment of the best scientific
brains in the nation" and will keep
the United States ahead in scien-

he said, because he thought it would
end the war quickly and save hum

In the future, he said I'VE are

He said If we lack the ingenuity
to do that We probably ought to
be destroyed"

Special Favor

In January 1948, Clancy ordered an investigation of Charles Navlen doing buisness as the Rex Refrig eration Serivce Co.,, at 3097 Third Ave, New York. The investigator James A. Bessell, later reported to his superiors an unreported tax lia- bility of approximately S10,000. But when he confronted Naylen with this, Navlen became hysterical picked up the telephone and slam- med it against the wall. When a clerk rushed in, Navlen shouted: If you don't get out of here I'll throw it at you"
 Then Navlen proposed to Bsssell that the case be settled. Any price you name is all right with me" he said. In this case, however, there is no evidence of any payment. Almost thereafter, Chief Clancy introduced Bessell to Carl Sand berg, 1919 East 179th St., New York, 3 leader of the Star Democratic Club at 1929 East 163rd St, and asked Bessell how bad is this case?" Bessell replied that was pad. To which Clancy replied: Lets close this case as a special favor to Sandberg."
 The case was then closed.
 Navlen, when interviewed by this column. called in his lawyer Leo- nard Prose, who ranted, roarea threatened and cajoled He neither affirmed nor denied anything. An investigation by other Treasury of ficials indicated that Navlen paid Sandberg an attorneys fee for set- ting the case.
 l Last summer the treasury indict- ed Bessell, and suspended Clancy, | Cannon, Galgano, and Fiscella. However, no action has been taken ! since then, and when their chief James w. Johnson, Collector of h. 1 ternal Revenue for the 3rd District, was interviewed, he refused to comment on who might be protect ing them and why no further ac- tion had been taken.
 In fact, Johnson refused even to give the name of his chief field deputy, though admitting this was matter of public record. T would not give you anything to help with this story" he stated.
 Then I am beginning to sec Johnson was told, how these shakedown artists were operating right under your nose"
 i You are making an accusation and I resent it." snapped the Col lector of Internal Revenue, and that ended the interview.

SIP 7th Ave, New York, had made unreported income on the black market William Clancy, Division Chief of the Special Investigating unit, turned the letter over to T. man James A. BesSell, explaining that the "squeal letter" actually had been written by another T-man, ThCmas Cannon, who was acquaint- ed with the Kenmoor company and felt they would be an easy touch. :"
 Bezsall then called on Rosenthal and Montello, partners in the Ken moor company. examined their tocks and said he found unreported profits cn his second trip to Ken moor Inc. However, he was told by William Ladenheim, an ac- countant, that the investigation would cost his clients a great deal Of extra timc and inconvenience. Later in the same day, Cannon, the T-Man who had written the "sQueal letter" brought in an en- velope containing S3.00n :.i cash
 According to sworn affidavit in the hands of this column, Clancy, chief of the Investigating unit, split thc $3,000 four ways-S900 going to Bessell, S900 to Clancy, $900 to Cannon and $500 going to a man whom Clancy described as George" 7"
 Rcsanthal and Montello, when interviewd by this column, stated that Cannon had offered to fix the case and that $3,000 was agreed uron as the price. This was placed in an envelope and turned over to Cannon by Rosenthal. The partners said they had not been guilty of tax evasion but were the victims of a stakedown.

 No further investigation was made, but according to a sworn affidavit in the hands of this col urnn. Harry Brickman, Assistant Borough Works Commissioner for Manhattan, arranged to have the whole matter ended.
