3 Persons,
Firms Accused
0f Tax Evasion
Defendants Indicted
For Cheating Gov't
Of $2 Million Taxes
NEW YORK, March 14—(AP)—
Federal prosecutors went to work
today on a stack of indictments ac=
cusing 34 persons and nine firms
of cheating the government out of
more than two million in wartime
income taxes.
A special federal grand jury re
turned 23 indictments yesterday—
almost on the eve of tomorrow’s
deadline for payment of 1949 in
come taxes. More indictments
were expected-today.
The dnm allegedly failed
to report fficome totalling an esti=
mafed $2,819,081 between the years
1942 and 1946, thereby defrauding
the "government of $2,032,645 in
taxes. :
The individuals, most of them
New York business amen in the
high Income brackets, were sche
duled for arraignment tomorrow
before Federal Judge Harold R.
Medina.
U. 8. Attorney Irving H. Say
pol said most of the defendants
concealed money made. on the
black market during the days of
rationing and scarcity.
He said they covered up “gains
from wartime dealings in scarce
commodities and services, ranging
from textiles to hotels and from
plastics to panties.”
Others, he said, failed to report
income from military accessories
sold in post exchanges.
Some of the defendants, named
in six counts, face possible prison
terms of 30 years—five years for
each count—and. heavy fines if
convicted. The corporations are
liable to heavy fines.
Convictions also would open the
way for the government to collect
back taxes and penalties totalling
an estimated $4,000,000.
Saypol said most of the indivi
duals and firms apparently op
erated independently of one an
other,
To conceal profits, he added,
they used such means as destroy
ing papers, cashing checks without
recording them, and setting up
secret bank accounts.

SULTRY AVA GARDNER YOWS:
What's Good Enough For Garbo
Suifs Me; No More Cheesecake
By JACK P. GABRIEL
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK—(NEA)—If you
haven’t seen the sexiest female
in the world posing in a bathing
cuit, you'd better look now. Ava
Gavdner is sticking strictly to
dresses from here on in.
The fact that 150 of Holly
wood’s most beautiful extras
have just pinned — well, be
stowed, anyway -the sexiest
title on Ava has nothing to do
with it. :
“I really made up my mind
about this a few weeks ago,”
Ava said during an inferview in
New York, at which she was al
ready wearing a dress, and a
strictly tailored one at that.
“I was going through some old
pictures of myself, and most of
them were cheesecake. When I
finally came to one, taken some
years ago, which showed me in
my usual costume, sitting on a
cake of ice with a fan in one
hand and an ice eream cone in
the other, I made up my mind.

Organization Head Visits Athens

WASHINGTON, March 14—
(AP)—The House Labor Com
mittee today shelved federal aid
to education but immediately
turned to consideration of a
school construction program.
Committee members leaving a
closed door session reported the
committee voted 13 to 12 to re
jeet the Senate-passed bill pro
viding $300,000,000 for school
assistance to the states.
WASHINGTON, March 14 ==
{AP)—Harold Christoffel, form
er Milwaukee labor leader, was
sentenced today to from two to
six years in prison on a charge
of lying to a Congressional Com=
“Ohristoffel was convicted last
month for a second time on &
perjury charge. A Federal Court
jury found he had lied when he
denied under oath to the House
Labor Committee that he had
ever been a Communist.
LONDON, March 14—(AP)—
The Czechoslovak Telegraph
Agency announced today that
Czech Foreign Minister Vlado
Clementis has resigned.
What'’s good enough for Garbo is
good enough for Gardner, too.
No more cheesecake for me!”
* % %
Garbo, as a matter of fact,
was photographed in a track suit
just before her first American
film was released. Her refusal to
pose since then in anything re
sembling cheesecake bothered
practically nobedy, but Ava’s
decision to follow . .. er ... suit
is enough to put the pin-up
world in mourning.
Green-eyed, slender, and pos
sessed of numerous attributes
that were easily visible in her
role as Venus in “One Touch of
Venus” a couple of year back,
Ava blamed her decision on the
Bikini bathing suit.
“In the first place,” she said,
“a lot of girls can’t wear those
French-type suits, including me.
I have hips, and that’s wrong for
so extreme a suif.
“YI know what’s good for me—
and the Bikini suit isn’t.”
Sheriff Slayer
Hunted In Texas
MARFA, TEX., March 14—(AP)
—The hunt for the killer of a Tex
as sheriff today had all the ele
ments of a wild west thriller—
a hand-cuffed fugitive afoot in a
rugged mountain chain, pursued
by an armed posse on horseback.
Grim-faced sheriffs of the Big
Bend country of Southwest Texas
Texas Rangers and border riders
were to ride at dawn—gun belts
buckled tight—seeking again the
trail of the unidentified slayer.
The shooting early Sunday of
Sheriff O. W, (Blackie) Morrow,
43, on a lonely mountain road
flipped back the pages of time to
the days of the old west.
It brought back the posse on
horseback—booted men packing
six-shooters; the sign cutters—
men who can read a story in a
smashed cactus, a scuffed patch
of grass.
Texas Ranger Gully Cow?ert
rode into Marfa late last night
and said a moungted posse had

State Executive Committee
Sets June 28 Primary Date
Group Changes Rules To Dodge
Court Suif: Thompson Qualifies
‘ATLANTA, March 14.— (AP) —Georgia’s Talmadge
controlled Democratic Executive Committee today set this
year’s primary election for June 28 and then braced for a
quick court test.
Governor Herman Talmadge simultaneously announced
he definitely will be a candidate for re-election.
State Treasurer George Hamil=
ton promptly hopped on the com
mittee action, declaring “I will
glefix}.itely institute court proceed
gs.
Hamilton strongly contends that
any date before Sept. 7 is illegal.
He indicated a tumultuous court
battle over the legal primary date
will be launched within a week.
There were these other fast
breaking developments as the 1950
gelection machinery was officially
cranked up:
1. The committee changed its
primary rules in an effort to dodge
a federal court suit attacking the
constitutionality of the county unit
system. Leaders said that the
change would keep the unit system
in effect regardless of outcome of
the pending suit.
2. Noon on April 29 was set as
the closing hour for entries in races
for Governor, U, 8. Senator, U. 8.
Representative, Lieutenant Gov=-
ernor, a host of ot{er capital offi
ces, and the State Legislature. |
8. Former Governor M. E.
Thompson immediately qualified
to run for Governor. Lieutenant
Governor Marvin Griffin and La
bor Commissioner Ben Huiet qual
ified for re-election.
Surprise Talk |
Talmadge, in a surprise talk to
the committee, said “at the pr:get
time I expect to qualify as a Cahd=
idate for Governor of Georgia
again.” |
That was the first definite &an
nouncement, although he has hint=
ed strongly in the past.
Leaders said a move made head
way just before the committee ses«
sion to advance the date all the
way from September, as in the
t, to as early as June 14 or
uelled under arguments that nnly
g\mher change would hurt Ta -‘
madge’s cause, June 28 had been
considered a certain date for sev-‘
eral weeks.
The committee re-enacted a SSOO
entry fee for candidates for Gov
ernor, U. 8. Senator, and U. S.‘
Representative. Fees for all other
state offices were set at $350. This
raised the price for candidates for
judge and solicitor from $250.
Power Keystone
The unit system rule change
could be far reaching.
This system packs up to 122
times more power per vote in rural
counties than in big-city counties.
It is a keystone of Gov. Herman
Talmadge’s political power.
Unit rule now is written into law
and the federal suit seeks to knock
out this law as unconstitutional.
The new idea writes the com~
plete unit system into the Demo
cratic party rules. In the past, the
rules merely have said the primary
shall be held “according to law.”

wipes out the county unit law, the
party rules would stand—at least
until challenged in another and

He suggested there would hard

Also, he said, courts might take a
different view toward knocking

Sen. McCarthy Tacks New
Name To Communist List
Reveals Former State Department
Official Once Red Agent In Spain
WASHINGTON, March 14, ~(AP)—Senator McCarthy
(R.-Wis.) said today that %ultavo Duran, former State
Department official now with the international refugee
organization, was once labeled by the U, S, Army as a for
mer Russian agent in Spain.
Duran was formerly an assistant to the assistant secre
tary of state in charge of Latin American affairs. McCar
thy said he left the State Department in 1946 “after in
tense congressional pressure and criticism,”
As of yesterday, McCarthy said,
Dm was employed &s a repre

McCarthy was before a Senate
Foreign Relations Subcommittee to
continue detailing his charges that
the State Department has m
poor security risks on its p.%unn
He had previously named
in a speech Feb. 12 at Reno, Nev.
At that time Duran said in New
York that “I am not now, nor ever
have been, a Communist or a Com
munist sympathizer.”
Duran also said an FBI investi
gation had cleared him completely
after charges that he sympathized
with the Communists were first
made against him some five years
ago. Duran, a Spanish-born na
turalized citizen, said that during
the Spanish civil war he was a
lieutenant-colonel in “the legal,
Spanish Republican Army,” not in
the international brigade.
The Senate subcommittee, head
ed by Senator Tydings (D.-Md.) is
investigating McCarthy’s charges.
At the outset of today’s hearing,
Tvdings announced the appoint
ment of Edward P. Morgan, former
FBI agent and supervisor, as chief
counsel for the subcommittee.
He said- Morgan made special
studies of Communism, Fascism
and other totalitarian ideologies
while in the FBI. Morgan now is
practicing law in Washington.
In the afternoon, the committee
planned to hear Miss Dorcthy Ken
yon, former member of the Ameri
can delegation to the United Na
tions, who was accused by Mec-
Carthy of lending her name to 28
Communist front organizations.
Miss Kenyon has called McCarthy
a cowardly liar.
Chairman Tydings (D.-Md.) dis
closed the committee is ready to
hire two men as counsel and will
ask FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
to recommend four investigators.
Denials came from three persons
named yesterday by McCarthy in
testimony before the committee.
One of these, Stephen Brunauer,
said he had never been a member
of the Communist parfy and never
told associates he was a member.:
McCarthy had asked the com=-
mittee to look into such reports
