cution.
He said the 81 million tax case
involving Lyman Harvey Klein,
Baltimore liquor dealer, was clas-
sified among the eight doubtful
cases. Mr.. Bolich, according to
testimony received by the SUBJ
committee, ordered a no prose-
Icution in the Klein case shortly
before coming to Washington.
Both he and Mr.. Grunewald, it
has been indicated, showed an
unusual interest in the handling
Iof the civil part of the case.
Convinced Cases Good.
Mr. Crouter said he was con-
WINGED that there were adequate
grounds for prosecution in the 81
cases and that they would have
withstood the prosecution test. "
In the Klein case. he explained,
the facts as developed would seem
to justify the closing of the fraud
case. But he added that "some
avenues Of evidence" were not
thoroughly investigated and it
appeared that additional facts
might have been obtained.
He said another case-the name
of which was not mentioned, in
volving estate taxes of $40 million
and SIS million in penalties-also
was closed out by Mr.. Bolich
shortly before coming to Wash
ington. He said the Reviewing
Board considered it was "im-
properly closed" because the
investigation had not been ade-
quate.
Mr.. Bolich is scheduled to tes-
tify tomorrow. He failed to keep
a recent appointment to appear
in a closed session on the grounds
that he was i'll. The subcom-
mittee, however, had an independ-
ent physical examination made
and learned that Mr.. Bolich was
sufficiently well to testify for a
limited time.
