Internal Revenue Collector Threat ens Wholesale Shakeup One Man Made $110,000 SAN riANCISCO. Aug. 29. (UP) The same type of Income tax rev elations that bagged the nation's lormer No. 1 gangster. Al Capone. last night threatened to cause whole sale shakeup ot San Francisco's police department. John V. Lewis, United States In ternal revenue collector, declared that federal agents had learned a retired police captain built a allO.OOO for tune from purported vice "payoffs." Lewis declined to give the name of the captain. He said that other police officers had received such "payoffs," and charged that vice In the city was controlled by a few men. Names Withheld Federal rules prevent him from re vealing any names, he said, pointing out that Income tax collections are not concerned with the method by which an Individual obtained his money. To disclose names would con stitute a felony, he declared. Mayor Angelo Rossi Immediately atarted a campaign to check the charges. He telegraphed Secretary of the' Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., I asking that Lewis be ordered to give' full data on his charges to himself, the police commission and the San Francisco county grand Jury. District Attorney Matthew Brady said the grand Jury probably would open an Investigation on the basis of Lewis' statement, but needed a "definite accusation to start on." Theodore J. Roche, president of the police commission, was ordered by Mayor Rossi "to go to the bottom of the matter at once." Lewis, curly haired, energetic, one of the youngest Internal revenue col lectors, greeted the storm of official demands calmly. Said Savings Built Fortune He said that the police captain In question first claimed he built his (110.000 fortune through a savings account. "We showed him that If that were true he must have lived all those years In the police department on about 2.35 a year," Lewis said, chuckling. "We then go the truth that his fortune was built on payoffs from houses of vice. We assessed him 60 per cent penalty for fraud, and one percent Interest for each month of delinquency. He paid to escape criminal prosecution and exposure." Federal operatives then obtained a list of hundreds of vice resorts " in San Francisco, collected additional taxes from their operators, and ob tained further Information regarding alleged "payoff" and "hush money" activities. Since Lewis took over the local Job In 1932 he doubled tax collections In his post In one year. With hla 35 agents he tracked down scores of Incomes, and forced payments prev iously evaded.
