Snowbound Householder Minneapolis has had so much
snow recently that plows clearing the streets have it 10 feet
deep along the curb in front of the B. H. Stahmer home. Un
willing to shovel more than necessary, Stahmer dug through it
to reach the street. He is shown, at the end of the tunnel,
which is eight feet long. He put up the sign as a warning to
visitors. (AP Wirephoto)
BUSINESS AND LIFE IN CITY UPSET
New Yorkers Stay by TV Sets
To Watch Big Crime Hearing
By DAVID C. WHITNEY
New York, March 21 (U.R) "When are they going back to Wash
ington, so we can get back to work?"
That was the anguished cry today of residents of the nation's
largest city, whose lives have been disrupted by the televised
senate crime hearings.
Never has any one show so hit
the life of New York.
' Department stores reported a
falling off in pre-Easter sales.
The stock exchange had its slow
est day yesterday since May 29.
And only a few top Broadway
shows sold out last night after
the committee announced it was
holding a night session.
Television network officials
estimated up to 10,000,000 New
Yorkers were watching video
sets to see the men of mystery,
racketeers, close-to-the-vest pol
iticians, known murderers and
shady public officials parade be
fore the camera and answer "up
to the crusading senators.
Another 20,000,000 persons
throughout the eastern half of
the United States were reported
watching what has become the
greatest show on earth.
Sports promoters disconso
lately estimated that more per
sons were interested in what
Frank "the boss" Costello would
say next than were interested in
) last fall's baseball world series.
.As far west as Chicago, hus
bands were coming home to
meals of cold cuts and canned
baked beans because their wives
couldn't tear themselves away
from their television sets. .Mrs.
William Hickey, of Chicago, said
she solved the problem by set
ting up a card table in the living
room in front of the TV set and
paring vegetables there so as
not to miss the show.
C. E. Hooper, Inc., whose Hoo
peratings judge the amount of
listener interest in television
shows, reported that 26.2 of New
York's 2,500,000 television sets
were in use yesterday morning,
compared to a normal usage of
1.5 per cent

Indict Income
Tax Officials
San Francisco, March 21 (P)
The federal grand jury here to
day indicted two former execu
tives in the federal income tax
collector's office.
They were Patrick Mooney,
retired chief deputy of the Ne
vada district of the collector of
internal revenue, and Ernest M.
Schino, fired last week as field
officer in the collector's bureau
here, and Martin M. Hartmann,
a salesman, also indicted.
The indictment charges that
the three conspired to defraud
the government by attempting to
( (ipital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, March 21, 1951 13
obstruct the revenue bureau's
prosecution of Mrs. Gertrude
Jenkins of San Francisco for in
come tax evasion,
Hartmann was a salesman for
the Mountain City Consolidated
Copper Co. This is a Nevada
concern, which the California
crime commission reported was
organized by some officers of the
department of internal revenue.
Mooney is secretary of the com
pany, a non-producing outfit.
The grand jury probe was
launched after Mrs. Jenkins, on
parole on an abortion convic
tion, swore in an affidavit that
she bought $5000 worth of the
copper company stock in expec
tation of avoiding tax difficulties.
The Indictments were returned
to Federal Judge George B. Har
ris. He fixed bail at $1300 each
and issued warrants for arrest.
Mrs. Jenkins was indicted last
December 20 on a charge she
tried to evade paying $25,130 in
1944-45 taxes. Her trial has
been set for May 14.
