A Judiciary subcommittee called tour government attorneys to pro duce lues dealing with a war Iraud case that began in Detroit in 1944 with an Indictment and ended In 1951 without a prosecution. The decision to take up the De troit case came after ranking members of the subcommittee lam basted Justice Department ofliclals lor trying to "whitewash" a tax case Inquiry by a St. Douls grand jury early In 1951. Rep. Keating (R-NY) told news men: 'WHITEWASH" "This effort at a whitewash of a smelly situation by the grand jury was frustrated only by the patriotic perseverance of an upright federal judge who could not stomach such shenanigans ana by a stalwart band of honest men and women who comprised the grand jury. 'But It's still a shocking story of an attempt by the Justice De partment, apparently from politi cal motives, to throw a grand jury olf the scent and prevent prose cutions of favorably placed law violators." Earlier Chairman Chelf (D-Ky) said he agreed with District Judee ueorge n. Moore ana tne grana jurors that the Department of Jus tice had made "a deliberate at tempt" to stop the probe, which ultimately led to the Indictment and conviction of a friend of Presi dent Truman. DISSERVICE Chelf said Ellis N. Slack, an act ing assistant attorney general who aopearea oeiore the grand jury be fore it came up with a report Riv ing revenue bureau officials a clean bill of health, had "rendered a distinct disservice to law and order and the publio good." '- Chelf called Slack "a messen ger" who did only as his superiors bade. "It appears to me." Chelf said, "that there was a definite attempt to either flag down, delay, side track, derail or entirely wreck this grand jury Investigation." Another committee member. Rep. Bakewell tR-Mo) told report ers the attorney general should de mand Slack's resignation. NO CONNECTION In a sworn statement presented to the subcommittee, the 74-year-old Judge Moore said the Justice Department apparently tried to block his investigation of tax case handling and indicated that Slack was responsible for the jurv's pre liminary report which he de nounced as "astonishing." Slack disavowed any connection with the report, denied he ap proved it although he called it "splendid." and said that he was sent to St. Louis only to explain why the Justice Department was not ready to present certain cases to the grand jury. He also told how he relayed to Internal Revenue Bureau officials a message from Judge Moore that the St. Louis income tax collector, James P. Finnegan. should be forced to resign. Subsequently Fin negan. a Truman friend, resigned and was convicted on misconduct in office charges. '9 rogkiiu: i; JOHNNY MpRRIS (left) and hit dad, J. T.
