Committee
Continues
Tax Probes
WASHINGTON lift House inves
tigators turned todav Irom charges
that Justice Department officials
Interfered with a tax scandal probe
to the wav in which the depart
ment handled war Iraud cases.
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.
