of thirst, madness and death

spent in a 12-foot open life-

Hint Another Firing Near In Tax Fraud

* By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. .1 — A} congressional source usually well- | informed on the spreading government tax scandal said today| another high official will resign, or be fired shortly. |

The source declined to identify,

the man, except to say his rank compares with that .of ousted Assistant Attorney General T. La-| mar Caudle. So far 52 persons in the Inter-| nal Revenue Bureau have been fired or suspended or, have quit their jobs. ys Mr, | 's ouster by President Trumhan as the govet ernment's top tax prosecutor brought the over-all toll to 53. Adrian W. Dewind, counsel for a House subcommittee which has spearheaded , the investigation, said yesterday “every high office” in the Internal Revenue Bureau was under committee scrutiny, including that of Chief Counsel Charles Oliphant. Mr. Dewind has declined to speculate however on where the ax might fall next or what additional heads are to roll.

Further Check on Caudle

Subcommittee dnvestigato r 8 were Spending the week-end fay-| ing groundwork for presentation]

next week of “two or three” more;

cases involving Mr. Caudle with persons in tax difficulties. He already has been pictured | as having accepted a $5000 commission on sale of an airplane.to a representative of two “persons under tax fraud indi¢tment, and as having intervened several times to help get the trial postponed. Subcommittee Republicans meanwhile, have demanded that Attorney General J. Howard McGrath be questioned about Mr. Caudle’s statement that Mr, McGrath approved his acceptance of the commission. They demanded that McGrath also be asked about “improper action” of other subordinates -in handling tax fraud cases. Ready, Says MeGrath

Mr. McGrath replied last night| that’ he would be ‘delighted” to) testify at a public session. He said he is “disappointed” | that the subcommittee already hasn’t conferred with him. .* “It was my belief that, when I said on Nov. 25 that I would give the committee my complete cooperation and would personally

Mr. Frazier said he had had

nothing to drink but a little sea

Judge Blasts New Sex Law Enforcement

A Criminal Court judge today blasted the snafued enforcement of the state's new sexual psychopath law which he had helped to write. Judge Saul I.

Bus

Service To Ft. Harrison

— Seven Hoosier Cities Affected By Walkout

Thousands of daily riders to Ft. Harrison were ‘stranded without bus service today as

drivers and mechanics of the

Indiana Railroad bus line went on strike. 2 The walkout affected 2000, to 3000 Indianapolis civilians and soldiers who depend entirely onthe Indiana Railroad service for

{the 15-mile trip to the post north-

east of Indianapolis. No other bus line makes the trip. Puzzled passengers stood frustrated at street corners this morn-

‘ling. John Morley, assistant to

the IRR president, said riders had “little warning” of the walkout. Army buses will be pressed into service starting Monday to take military. personnel to the fort, according to Col, E. P. Beyer, commanding officer. They also will carry a few key: civilians. The GI buses will travel along practically the same route as the. strikebound line, starting at the downtown . bus terminal. They will run about once an hour, halt as often as the IRR buses operated. He said operations at the post were not seriously disrupted today because most civilians are . off Salurday. “Other Points Hit: " Also affected were about 2000 other passengers who daily ride Indiana Railroad buses between Indianapolis and seven principal Hoosier cities. Thumbs were mustered inte service along hundreds of miles of Indiana highways as bus passengers were cut off from normal service between the main ral and Antermediate towns.
