Seek Names
Of DeIinquents
BY FRANCIS p. DOUGLAS

A close check is being made
lof lawyers. doctors and other
self employed persons in the
District area to determine
whether they have filed tax re-
turns.
| 1t was learned today that the
checkup has been underway for
several months.
! The Internal Revenue Service
said there are no figures on cases
of failure to file returns in this
area. But L. Alfred Chamberlin,
of the regional Internal Revenue
Service Commission, said cases
recently came to light in Phila-
delphia. Camden, N. j., and Will
mington. Del. of nine lawyers
who had not filed returns. He
added that he believed eight of
the cases would be referred to
the Justice Department for
prosecution.
Mr.. Chamberlin's area includes
the District, Maryland, PENN
sylvania, Delaware and New
Jersey.
Death UncOvers Debt
The investigation was touched
off with the death last summer
in Philadelphia of a prominent
lawyer. who had at one time been
| a city official. After he died, it
was found he had failed to file
returns over an eight-year pc
riod. It was asserted he owed
back taxes amounting to around
81 million.
| Later another lawyer was in
dicted on charges he had failed
to file returns for 10 years and
had had an aggregate income IN
that period of $4,000.
I A revenue service official en-
Iphasized that all Self-employed.
not just doctors and lawyers, are
being checked. He said this
takes in brokers, accountants,
beauty -parlor operators, BARRIERS,
tailors and others.
Methods for Check
1 A statement by Mr.. Chamber
lin was cited which expressed
Ia determination to ferret out
those persons whose incomes are
not a matter of REGARD with the
revenues service and who fail to
file returns. The pay of wage
and salary employees is reported
to the Government with the re-
turns of the withholding taxes.
| 1t was explained that one
method of checking whether
self -employed person files returns
is to check the revenue service
files of returns against names in
the telephone book, directories
and other lists of business and
professional people.
Mr.. Ghamberlin said the in
vestigation is in recognition OF
the revenue services responsible
lily to honest taxpayers to see
that all who owe taxes file and
pay promptly.

European Correspondent OF The Star
PARIS.-For all the enthusi-
astic press notices, Jean Monnet'S
plan to build a European atomic
pool is already running into
strong opposition here.
Coming from erstwhile sup
porters of the European Defense

definite chill over the optimistic
glow generated by last weeks
meeting of Mr.. Monnet's Com
mittee for the United States of

the committees resolution to set
up "Euratom"-a supernatural
European atomic authority-will
run into tough shedding when it

Red-faced Republicans agreed
with Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson today that he pulled a

to the American farmer as a
"pampered tryant."
The Secretary hastily retracted
the Endorsement yesterday, say
ing he had seen neither the
article itself nor a letter to
the editor written in his name

Democratic critics beat him to
the punch with new demands for
his custer, and some Republicans
joined in the criticism.
