. Gabrielson Defends Name in RFC Case
By WARREN DUFFEE © United Press Staff Correspondent
‘WASHINGTON, Mar. 17—Republican National Chairman Guy George Gabrielson demanded today that Senate Investigators prove, if they can, any “improprieties” by himself or other Republicans in connection with Reconstruction Finance Corp. loans, Defending his own name in «one .case, Mr, Gabrielson made the demand in a letter to Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D, Ill.) a member of the subcommittee which has been delving into RFC loan policies. Sen, Douglas remarked in Sengte debate Thursday that in the cage involving Mr, Gabrielson, he did not “think” any illegal Practices were found but’ “we have detected improprieties.” He also ‘sald Chairman J. William Fulbright (D. Ark.) took caution to “protect” Republicans from any unjust “smear” accusations, “Let me say,” Mr. Gibrielson wrote Sen. Douglas, “that I neither need nor have been aware of any ‘protection’ given to me or other Republicans by your subcommittee, “You have been derelict in your duty if-—and I repeat df-—such protection has been given... let's expose the facts—all the facts— as Americans, regardless whether we are Republicans or Democrats.” Mr. Gabrielson added that it would have been “an eighth wonder of the world” if he himself, as chairman of the GOP National Committee had any “protection” in a loan case concerning Carthage Hydrocol, Inc., of which he once was president. L Carthage Hydrocol, maker of high octane gasoline, got three RFC loans aggregating $18 million over _several years. Rep. . Wayne L. Hays, (D. 0.), charged in the House that Mr. Gabrielson got a $100,000 fee for helping. Mr. Gabrielson angrily denied it.

Tax Agents Going
After Racketeers
WASHINGTON, Mar. 17 (UP) ~—8ecretary of Treasury John W. Snyder assigned a Handpicked staff of agents today to throw the book at big-time crooks who have dodged their income taxes. The action was an answer to congressional critics who claimed hoodlums and gamblers were get- . ting off too easy at the hands of the Internal Revenue Bureau. Mr. Snyder said that isn’t so, At the same time, Mr. Snyder announced that the bureau's confidential records on the suspected dodgers will be laid open for inspection by House and Senate committees which can make them public if they see fit.
