ing fraud In that he had know

members of the subcommittee

ficials for trying TO 'whitewash"
a tax case inquiry by St. Louis

Rep. Heating (R.-N. " told
newsmen:
This effort at q whitewash Of

right federal Judge who could not
stomach such shenanigans and by

teal motives, to throw q grand
jury off the scent and prevent pro-
secutions of favorably placed law

Earlier Chairman Chslf tD-Ky. J

jurors that the Department of JUS
tice had made "a deliberate at
tempt" to stop the probe, which
ultimately led to the indictment
and conviction Of friend of Presi-

acting assistant attorney general
who appeared before the grand
jury before 1t came up with q

In q sworn statement presented
to the subcommittee, the 74-year-
old Judge Moore said the Justice
Department apparently tried to
block his investigation Of the tax
case handling and indicated that

denounced as astonishing"
