WE GIVE THANKS

We have much for Thanksgiving in this Year of Our Lord 1851 although the months just passed have been troubled
 We have free speech and freedom of the press. as we recently demonstrated in vehement protest against censorship orders from Washington. These freedoms long lost to inhabitants of Iron Curtain countres)
 Every American is free to worship God as he chooses. (Communisms atheistic forces have closed thousands of churches abroadD
 We enjoy the right of free suffrage and the right to choose officials by secret ballot (The ballot is but memory - and a faint hope to millions of Europeans)
 In a world where hunger treads on the heels of millions our Thanksgiving tables will bear witness to our high standard of living the fruit of free enterprise in free land.
 For all these benefits, give humble thanks to God. In Him place trust and our faith and our hope for a tranquil world unmarked by strife and mistrust
 To Him, we pray for strength and courage to

bookkeeping system whereby Ripps and Mitchell let their small checks and cash accumulate. Then, when a big check came in, they deposit ed the accumulated small checks and cash to the same amount as the big check, in order to make it appear that the big check had been cashed. Actually the big check was converted into a cashiers check, then sent by a roundabout way through the Jefferson Investment O., of St. Louis, controlled by Mitchell to the Paramount Check Cashing Service in New York.
 During our conference, Caudle several times remarked that there certainly ought to be enough evil dence to prosecute, and immedi- ately thereafter, he sent John Nit chell (No relation to Joe MitchelD to Mobile to reopen the entire case. The two tax defrauders were then indicted, pleaded guilty and are now in jail.

HONEST T-MEN

There were some other interesting angles to the RippsM Mitchell case One was that at Christmas 1946 Sam Ripps sent presents to the Treasury agents who had been working on the case. The packages were returned unopened Also a defense. lawyer sent to Mobile from New York hinted to T-Men that they weren't paid enough by the government and could make more money on the outside. The T-Men did not take the hint.
 At time when Internal Revenue is under heavy fire, I should like to repeat that my own investiga- ton of this and many other cases convinces me that the great ma- jority of T-Men are honest.
 Real hero of the Ripps-Mitchell prosecution, incidentally, was Rob- ert Cox, the Mobile T-Man who handled the case, and who kept at it despite great Encouragement.
 I reported in December, l949, that Congressman Frank Boykin had gone to Joe Mitchells defense, as he had in various other scrapes. I also heard but could not confirm, that Ripps and Mitchell had made heavy contribution to the Demo- cratic National Committee.
 I suspected, but could not prove, that someone in Washington was not enthuSiastic about prosecuting the Ripps-Mitchell case. But I am convinced it was not Caudle. Caudle had sent the case to Birmingham with a recommendation for criminal prosecution long before I began looking into it. Ard after I talked to him. he exhibited the greatest determination and enthusiasm for prying the case loose from its sty- mic and getting a conviction.

LAW PARTNER GOT FEE

Finally, however, Mitchell and Ripps approached Will Walter Bankhead of Alabama's politically powerful Bankhead family and through him retained Ben Leader, former law partner of the U. s. Attorney in Birmingham, John Hill. Significantly, it was Hill who was to try the case.
 That case, however, has never been tried" continued the Merry Go-Round on Dec 16, 1949. Tt was sent by the Justice Department (Caudle) to Hill for prosecution, but that was as far as it got U. s. Attorney Hill held a conference with Justice and Treasury men in Birmingham at which he contended he did not have sufficient evidence. In the end, and with their concur renee, the prosecution of jewelry profiteers Ripps and Mitchell was sent back to Washington as closed.
 Meanwhile, this column, prob- ing the tax fraud, unearthed some interesting facts. Ben Leader, when questioned, admitted he was Hills former law partner; also admitted he received a fee of Sl2,000.'
 At this point it appeared that the Ripps-M Mitchell case was stopped cold. It looked to me as if it had about as much chance of reaching prosecution as a freight train of crossing the great divide without an engine.
 The column of Dec 16, l949,, con- tinued with other details. But here are some background facts I did not publish. Jack Anderson, the Merry -Go-Round reporter whom I sent to Mobile and Birmingham to button up the story, brought back what looked to me like new evil dence, and I arranged an appoint ment at the Justice Departmnt with Lamar Caudle, Turner Smith, in charge of the criminal section of the tax division, and John Mitchell, the Justice Department Attorney who had gone to Birmingham to confer with Hill and who had con- cured that the case should not be prosecuted.

But they are good people who
