{missioner John B, Dunlap dis-, closed today that the Bureau of] Internal Revenue is investigating
reports of alleged tax shakedowns
in New York.
He said the investigation is be-

squad and “our best criminal attorneys” are checking all tax! fraud cases which were not pros; ecuted since 1944. Mr Dunlap said he could not give any names involved. Asked if the investigation covered activities of Joseph D, Nu-| nan Jr. who once was Brooklyn, N. Y. tax. collector, Mr. Dunlap) said the inquiry “covers the whole) water front.” f “We have all kinds of special investigators up there,” he “said.| Thé investigation, he said, covers
