Snyder said there has not been and will not be any letup in the Internal Revenue bureau's warfare “against major league criminals.” He noted jt was the income tax men who bagged the late Scarface Al Capone, Chicago gang overlord of the prohibition era. George J. Schoeneman, commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, followed up Snyder's statement with testi- mony that his agents are now in- vestigating nearly 2,500 tax cases “in the criminal area.” Foley, Shoeneman and other treasury officials testified at what was billed as the crime probers’ last televised hearing before the sched- uled windup of their investigation] I at the end of this week.

Douglas Mac- Arthur to submit for Washington clearance any future statements with political significance. Informed officials who told a veporter of the request last night said it followed consultation among .he White House, State and Defense Departments. In effect, the new message was 1 reminder of a general directive ssued by President Truman last December calling for advance word f any broad foreign policy state- ments, ‘The message was a follow-up to MacArthur’s offer of last weekend to meet the Communist commander in Korea for truce talks. In that statement, he raised an implied possibility that the United Nations, whose forces he commands, might change its policy to author- ize attacks on Chinese military bases on China’s coastal areas. State Department officials said MacAr- thur's statement had not been dis- patched to Washington in advance. Officials said the purpose of the new message to MacArthur was to assure that in the future any such statements could be approved or dis- approved here or that modifications could be suggeste:'. In Tokyo, reports that President Truman had put General MacAr- thur-under political ceénsprship were received with considerable shock and’ some surprise. Informed sources said this after- noon no direct orders to that effect had been received. But they added any such official announcement would have to be made in Wash- ington. MacArthur’s statement was des- ycribed in command circles here as “a cold estimate of a military sit- uation.” Circles which generally support the general said they could Like Attorney General McGrathj iy eq «Never before has there been and FBI Director J.

Poole said the group Will look into whether “the bureau is unrea- sonably interfering with choice of attorneys by Indian tribles, con- travening the canons of ethics of the bar association, questionable statutory authority, or acting in a manner unfair to In- dian tribes and attorneys alike.” ENGINES, PRODUCE PASSENGERS FLY BY PACIFIC NORTHERN In addition to a thousand pounds of produce, two automobile engines, a big console radio and a large con- signment of bread, Pacific Northern Airlines flew nine passengers to the westward Monday.
