Tax Probers 10 Issue
Final Report Aimed al
Basic Law Changes
BY the Associated Press

House tax scandal investigators
wind up nearly two years of fire.
works this week with a final re-
port aimed generally at basic
changes in the tax laws and the
already revamped Internal Rev.
enue Bureau.
Coincidentally Republican men,
bers made it known they intend
to check on the effectiveness of
the bureau reorganization. This
placed collectors under Civil Serv-
ice and, administration officials
said, eliminated political patron
age in connection with many
bureau jobs.
Representative Kean. Republic
can. of New Jersey, slated to sue
ceed Representative King. Demo-
crat, of California, as chairman
of the Ways and Means Tax In
vestigating Subcommittee, said he
proposed to determine whether
the bureau reorganization created
"a lot of cushy jobs for poll
ticians."
The subcommittee report, to
be made public next Friday. is
expected to be more moderate in
its findings and recommendations
than its sensation-studied hear
ings might have indicated.
Described as pretty much of a

freely with the ''evils" uncovered
over two years of inquiry but
makes few direct recommends

Among other things, the report
Is expected to recommend CON
Eideration, if advisable" of divor-
cling the Internal Revenue Bureau
from the Treasury Department.
Representative Curtis. Republi-
can, of Nebraska, a subcommit-
tee member, introduced a bill to
this effect last year for the an
nounced purpose of removing the
bureau from the political inf1u-
C11CS VI Gllt 1ICdSuIy.
Mr.. Curtis plans to reintroduce
his bill in the new 83d Congress,
but key House Republicans thus
far appear to have shown no great
enthusiasm for so drastic a
change.
The report also is expected to
recommend further consideration
of changes in the revenue law to
require more stringent income tax
reporting.
The tax law changes recon-
mended for study are basically
those proposed earlier this year by
Chairman King in a bill which
failed to reach the House floor.
His proposals included bans against
allowance of unsubstantiated de-
ductionS, deducting loans to poll
tical committees as bad debts, I"
and entering high living" ex-
penSe accounts as a business de-
duction for tax purposes.
The measure also provided fines
and jail sentences for influence
peddling in connection with tax
cases. and for unauthorized &c
tivity in behalf of taxpayers.
Committee members were ex-
pected to recommend that the
Treasury continue it's present prac-
tice Of requiring financial state
ments from revenue employees
whose work brings them into con-
tact with taxpayers.

obtain secret testimony. will try
to get the, indictment thrown out
on Friday.
If this move fails the trial OF
Mr.. Brennan will begin at 10 am
next Tuesday in the United States
District Court for the District o1
Columbia.
Mr.. Brennan, veteran reporter
in Chicago, is accused of posing
as the office manager of the Crime
Committee back in November
1850. Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee then was
chairman of the committee.
BY representing himself thus to
the Anderson Reporting Co., Mr.
Brennan obtained a transcript OF
secret testimony of the commit
tee, the indictment said. The Sun
Times printed Is columns of the
testimony on November 2, 1850,
a few days before election.
Witness Defeated at Polls.
The testimony was that given
in closed hearing by Capt. Dan
Gilbert, investigator for the Dis
trict Attorney of Cook County,
Ill Capt. Gilbert then was run
ming for sheriff on the Demo-
cratic ticket. He lost by a re-
sounding majority in the election.
The Sun-Times accounts stated
Capt. Gilbert testified he made
thousands of dollars in market
speculations and gambling on
sports events and elections. The
newspaper said Capt. Gilbert de-
scribed himself as a gambler at
heart.
The Sun-Times. in printing the
testimony, said:
"The testimony was so revealing
about political candidate
that we considered it information
to which the voters were plainly
entitled before. the election, not
afterwards. The Kefauver Com
mittee made public the testimony
of one police officer, Thomas Har-
rison. It sought to suppress that
OF Capt. Gilbert. The Sun-Times
maintains that the Kefauver Com
mittee has neither the moral nor
the legal right to suppress testi-
mony for political reasons"
Judge Assigned to Case.
Participants in the case waited
around court most of yesterday
for a Judge to be free to preside
Late in the afternoon, Judge Ed
ward Curran was assigned the
case.
Defense Attorney Richard B.
Austin said he wanted to argue his
motion to dismiss the indictment
But Assistant United States At
torney Frederick Smithson said
the Government had not had time
to prepare arguments, since the
dismisall motion came at such q
late date.
Judge Curran said he would hear
arguments on Friday and sched-
uled the trial for Tuesday. He
asked both sides to pay special
attention to one Of the points
raised in the motion to dismiss.
Indictment Challenged.
This point, raised by Mr.. Aus
tin. was that the indictment was
drawn improperly in that it did
not specify whom Mr.. Brennan
was attempting to defraud. Mr.
Austin also said the indictment

Final Arguments Open
In Trial Of Two for
Contempt Of Congress

/ Final arguments by opposing
counsel opened today in the Dis
trict Court trial of two men on
charges of contempt of Congress
for refusal to answer questions in
March. 1851. before the Senate
Crime investigating Committee.
! The two had refused to answer
questions before the committee
unless television, radio and news
reel facilities were removed from
the hearing room.
The defendants are Morris
Kleinman and Louis Rothkopf,
both Of Cleveland, who were de-
scribed before the committee as
being connected with an important
gambling syndicate.
Attorney Timothy F. McMahon,
one of three defense attorneys,
argued that his clients rights of
privacy were invaded because the
committee hearings were pub
licized through television, radio
and newsreels.
Mr.. Mcmahon also argued that
the committee had lent itself to
commercialization in publicizing
its hearings.
U. S. Aide Quizzed.
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut
yesterday questioned a Govern
ment witness closely as to why the
committee permitted the hearing
before it to be publicized in such
manner. Judge Schweinhaut
is hearing the case without jury.
The witness. Joseph L. Nellis,
associate committee counsel, told
the court:
"The committee felt that the
American people had the right to
know the setup of organized crime
in this country"
Judge Schweinhaut then wanted
to know if it was necessary for the
committee, ''in its legislative func-
tion," to inform the public in that
manner. He also asked if the
committee felt the public would be
more apt to listen if the hearings
were dramatized.
Defended as Proper.
Mr.. Nellis replied that the COM
mittee felt television was proper
means of informing the public.
Evening star., 1952-07-03

He added that newspapers do not
have space to give verbatim re-
ports on hearings.
Defense Attorney William j.
Corrigan, took the stand as a de-
fense witness yesterday. Ques-
toned by Mr.. Mcmahon Mr.
Corrigan testified the committee
room was crowded.
1--WE had to put our hats and
coats on the floor" Mr.. Corrigan
said. He also said the room was
brilliantly flood-lighted and that
many persons wore dark eye
glasses.
The third defense counsel is At
torney William H. Collins. Klein
man and Rothkopf are being
prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz.
