Agent. Expects
More Arrests
In Gold Probe
Salt Lake City -4UPP- A Se
cret Service agent said yes
terday . he anticipated other
arrests in connection with an
organization dealing in illeg
al gold, hich was uncovered
Friday.
Two men have been arrest
ed to far and gold valued at
S2,100 recovered. The arrests
were made by an undercover
agent who bought illegal gold
from one of the men with
marked money. Some of the
marked bills were later found
on the suspect.
The investigation, which
had been' conducted since
July, 1958, was headed by
Secret Service Agent Robert
S. Grube.
First Confirmation
Arrest of James M. Maugh
an, 37, former Salt Lake City
attorney turned real estate
salesman, and Thomas M.
Montgomery,29, a utility
worker at Kennecott Copper
Corp. holdings near here, was
the first confirmation that
gold had been stolen from
Kennecott.
Rumors that estimated gold
ranging from small amounts
to more than a million dollars
had been taken from the cop
per firm have circulated since
last summer.
Grube asked that -newsmen
withhold the name of the un
dercover agent who contact
ed Maughan and . allegedly
bought the illegal-gold from
him. "If you name him you
will be picking up a dead
body in Salt Lake City some
day," the Secret Service
agent said.
No Report On Amount
The investigation had been
requested by Fred C. Green,
general manager of Utah Cop
per division of Kennecott. He
said that he had no report on
the amount or value of gold
stolen.

Self-Employed
Would Benefit
From House Bill
Washington (DPB House
tax writers plan to approve
Monday a program of tax re
lief for self-employed persons.
The measure would cost
the treasury an estimated 365
million dollars ihe first year.
Members of the House
Ways and Means committee,
originator of tax legislation,
agreed the bill would be ap
proved by a comfortable mar
gin. The legislation is aimed at
helping doctors, farmers, bus
iness proprietors and others
who are self-employed to
build up their own retirement
funds.
They would be permitted to
postpone payment of taxes
until they are 65 on 10 per
cent of their earnings, pro
vided the money is voluntar
ily placed in retirement funds.
There would be a tax deferral
ceiling of $2,500 a year.
The investments plus the
earnings would become tax
able income only when they
are withdrawn. Individuals
could withdraw the funds
either gradually or in one
lump sum. In some instances
withdrawals could be delayed
until age 70. Penalties would
be imposed if the retirement
funds were withdrawn before
age 65.
Proponents of the tax re
lief program contend that
present law discri m i n a t e s
against self-employed since
money contributed by em
ployers to - pension funds is
deductible from their taxable
income as a cost of business
and the recipient employee
doesn't have to pay taxes on
the funds until he receives
the pension.
An identical bill passed the
House last year by over
whelming voice vote. It died
in the Senate, however, after
the treasury objected that it
would be "inappropriate" to
give anyone a tax break while
the government was running
up a huge deficit.
Teamster-Red Tie
To Be Investigated
! Eugene Jaycees Present Awards
Washington - (UPD - Chief
counsel Robert F. Kennedy
said yesterday the Senate
Rackets committee will seek
more information on a Team
ster tie-up with GuS Brown,
an accused former Commu
nist. The committee heard testi
mony this week that Teamster
local 208 of Los Angeles gave
financial support to a strike
by an independent furniture
workers union set up by
Brown after he was ousted by
the CIO for Communist activ
ities. Documents indicated that
Teamster headquarters later
reimbursed the local and that
there was talk of an affiliation
between Brown's group and
the teamsters.
Brown Unavailable -
Kennedy said the commit
tee had been unable to locate
Brown for questioning but
would keep after him. He said
there was information, not re
vealed during the hearing, of
additional contracts between
Brown and high Teamster of
ficials. Witnesses before the com
mittee Friday accused Mike
Singer, business agent of Los
Angeles Teamster Local 626,
of shaking down businessmen,
profiting at his own testimo
nial dinner, and taking a trip
with a lady friend at union
expense.
Called before the commit
tee, Singer invoked his fifth
amendment's privilege against
possible self-incrimination in
refusing to say whether he
was the "personal ambassa
dor" of Teamster president
James R. Hoffa on organizing
trips to Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
Declined To Say
He also declined to say .
whether he was ever a mem- j
ber of the Communist party i
or advanced the cause of Com- j
munism during a trip to Honolulu.
The chief witnesses against j
Singer were Morrie Gurewitz I
and Ben H. Cohen, Los An
