Assistant US. District
Attorney Denies ''Playing
Politics In Income Tax Case
MIAMI N-Assistant u. S. Dis r.

MIAMI M--ASsIStant Y. >. Dis
irict Attorney Ernest L. Duhaime
has denied he played politics
in indicting Robert L. Clark, can
didate for Broward County sheriff,
on income tax evasion.
Clark, brother Of the late Sheriff
Walter r. Clark. had charged that
his indictment was timed to en-
harrass him during his campaign.
ffe said he had information that
his case had been sent back To
Washington In September, 1851. for
civil settlement.
ssThere was absolutely no politics
in this case or in any other case
ever handled in this office" said
Duhsime Tuesday.
1T Ii true that Mr.. Clark's at
torneys, Mr.. Peterson and Mr..
Chancey, made several visits to
the district attorneys office in
Miami in an endeavor to get u
to do the very thing they are
charging us with.
ssThey wanted ~ 10 plsy politics
by not presenting our income tax
case against Clark in its due
course to the grand jury which
INST for consideration Of this case
and others on April /. as . matter
Of routine business.
This we refused to do as II
would be definitely perpetrating a
fraud upon the people Of Broward
County and definitely would be
playing politics.
Duhaime explained that Clark's
case was not presented to an
earlier grand jury primarily be-
cause the agent who originally had
worked up the case. Special Agent
James B. Lanahan. died Of . heart
attack last July.
Duhaime denied the Clark tax
case had ever been returned to
Washington since It's arrival here
for presentation. He said the case
has not left our Office"
Clark, former Broward County
chief deputy sheriff. was indicted
April , for alIegedly evading $43,.

1851.

A'Sly mas been
wonderful-yesterday the sky was
nplue like it is in Ohio in June
OF a cloud. Temperature was
the high COS in the afternoon
1t is expected to be a little
warmer today. We took drive
Sunday and the weather was
perfect. Air was still cool but
the day was bright and clear
One thing we miss out here
though, is the song of the birds
IN the mornings, and the crickets,
frogs, etc, in the evenings.
With weather like this. we
subconsciously connect those
animal sounds and they lust are
not here. The sounds we do hear
are man-made-rumble of big
trucks on the highways, hauling
gasoline, automobiles, and cotton
to their various destinations, and
the whirr of the jets and trans
port planes as they make their
way on the aerial highway. Right
now, l hear the heavy sound of
some big engined carrier.
"On our drive Sunday we
visited Williams Air Base. which
IS a jet base. We learned many
things about the planes, and saw
some take off. We also visited
an Indian reservation and then
just drove thru the country,
looking at everything.
Since coming to Coolidge, we
have seen some interesting
things, such as-The Gila Indian
reservation, which is for the
Pima Indians, and lies lust
north of Coolidge. Hundreds of
acres of virgin land are reserved
there for the Indians and they
have built a little village, which
they call Sacaton. On the re-
SerVation they have their own
school and church, and in their
homes they make the Pima
baskets. Some of the homes are
scattered over the reservation
not all line in the town. Their
transportation is by horse and
four-wheeled wagon, and their
homes are of adobe with heavy
grass thatched roof.
"Some of the houses are more
modern-We saw one last Sunday
that was an old barrick which
had been secured from a discard
ed army base near here with
adobe put all over it. That fellow
really had a place-in Sacaton.
We have visited the copper
towns of Tiger and Mammoth
they are in rugged mountain
country. l got squirmy on the
roads-but finally got over my
fear. On the way to the above,
we stopped at Oracle Inn and

went thru the town of Oracle.
which was named for Edwin S.
Dodge's ship "The Oracle" 1t
brought men to San Francisco
years ago. Those men came on
INTO Arizona, searching for gold.
Now Oracle is a health center
small town, but high. The alti-
tude is over 1000 feet. We have
visited the monument which
marks the spot where Tom Mix
was killed-nice monument there
off the highway that goes to
Tucson. We have been in cotton
fields where they were picking
cotton by hand and by machines
and have visited citrus groves.
Right now, they are harvest
ing the grapefruit and navel
orange, also onions, turnips, and
other vegetables. Cotton picking
Is practically finished and the
ground is being reworked for an
other crop. The recent decision
as to the water rights has created
some discussion, many think the
decision made the cowboys hate
them. Even the mules fled from
the sight of the camels, so they
were shot on sight. Arizona rocks
made their feet sore, too-so the
desert beast of burden became
very unhappy and wandered off
to die. AS result, no camels for
transportation, but plenty of
dates to eat, as the date palms
flourished when properly cared
for. Arizona dates have a better
flavor than those of California,
l think, but l don't suppose a
Californian would agree with
me.
LAS we went further over the
highway, we approached the
great Superstition Mt, which
figured in the news a few weeks
ago, when the plane with the
West Point cadets on it crashed
against its sides. The Mt. has
made news for many year, how
ever, as it is the site of the Last
Dutchman mine. Every year,
people go back into the noun
tain, hopeful of finding its hid
den treasure. Some> find their
way out and some do not, but
no one has ever found the Dutch
mans mine. 1t is still lost"
I'VE have visited all the small
towns near here, Eloy, Casa
Grande, Gilbert Highley, Chand-
Ter, and Florence. The latter is
the county seat of Pinal county
and also the site of state prison.
Cotton fields and desert sur
round the town of Coolidge, with
the countains in the distance.
The country is dotted with ranch
houses and some are beautiful,
others very ordinary. Around
Phoenix and Mesa, the citrus
groves are scattered, this is the
cotton area, and Tuscon is the
cattle country. We are really
having a pleasant winter-seeing
the sights of Arizona"
