A flash of subpoenas ally brings out files of letters, whose contents, staring from head- lines a month or so later, provide endless torment for their writers and amazement or amusement for the reading public. Often the -letter writers refuse to surrender their files and defy Con- gressional threats of punishment. Perhaps equally often they accept the inevitable, and cooperate.

For a week he and Don Y. Wemp'e, another investigator, had directed 20 Civil Service employees in a hunt through a hangar full of files of an aviation oorporation in Chi- ! ¢ago. The Civil Service help waded through tons of the files but found nothing substantial encuch to suit the two investiga Blomquist, disgusted at the slow pace, snapped at them: “I'll bet $10 I.can get a story out of the last fi'e you've been through” There were no takers. He thumbed through a file and soon came up with a letter hinting of a shrewd move to save the corporation $250,000 in taxes. Further search brought corrobo- rating letters and a telegram. None of that business went L0 the ocean mail committee. It went to the treasury.
