The Washington Merzy-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Attorney O'Gara that he investi- gate. From that time—Aug. 5, 1950 until April 3, 1951—O'Gara tried to get a grand jury hearing of suspected Internal Revenue irregularities. All his efforts were blocked from above. POLITICS AND TAXES Meanwhile certain things going on inside the San Francisco Inter- nal Revenue office obviously mer- ited investigation, merely on face of them. Here are some stances: 1.—An Internal Revenue Employ- ees’ fund was collected from brew- ers, liquor dealers, bookies, prosti- tutes and delinquent taxpayers. One | of the men involved in collecting this fund was John A. Malone, brother of William Malone, chair- man of the Democratic Central Committee for San Francisco and most petent Democrat wheel-horse in northern California. 2—John Malone, brother of the| Democratic kigwig, operated an ac- counting and income tax office of his own, though he was also assis- tant chief of the income tax divi- in- sion. Malone has now been suspend- | ed. 3.—Paul V. Doyle, chief office de- puty of the San Francisco Internal| Revenue office, also operated an accounting firm and gave income tax advice on the side. He too has now been suspended. 4.—John Boland, chief field de- puty, maintained a deputy collector, Jack Crowley, as his chauffeur, was a close pal of chief Collector Smythe, Doyle and Malone. Last weke he was suspended. 5.—Ignatius Beresford, chief as- sistant in the wage and excise di- vision, also operated an income tax service in off hours. He has now been suspended. 6.—Collector of Internal Rev- enue James Smythe, now suspend- ed for “incompetence,” had admit- ted under cross-examination ‘before the Kefauver committée that he had been a delinquent taxpayer pri- or to his appointment to the job of collecting other peoples’, taxes in 1945. However, Smythé’;had been the campaign manager for Demo- cratic Sen. Sheridan: Downey and deserved reward. Futhermore, Mrs. Smythe was one of Downey's secre- taries. RUNAWAY GRAND JURY The above facts were well known to U. 8. Treasury officials in Wash- ington, yet U. S. Assistant Attorney O'Gara was not able, for approxi- mately one year, to proceed with any investigation. Pinally, a forthright grand jury headed by Richard Seward, first of all indicted James M. Mac Innes, an attorney in the narcotics case pre- sided over by Judge Waring; and in Robert Mcl e wpoblbmsgistan Un S 40 the | lum under subpoena an | him, among other things, why Lhe facts unearthed by the Kefauver committee regarding internal rev- lenue had not been followed up. Charles Davis, head of internal revenue’s local intelligence unit, was also examined. Neither could give a satisfactory answer. Consequently, the Seward away grand jury directed O'Gara to continue this probe before another federal grand jury headed by John Taylor. On May 16, O'Gara attempt- ed to do so. | But suddenly U. S. Judge Lewis F. Goodman called the grand jury before him, instructed it that it had no power to proceed. Local political observers believe it may or may not be significant that Judge Goodman was appointed |on the recommendation of Senator Downey, close iriend of Collector ‘James Smythe, whose office was h,cnm, probed. Following this, chief Assistant U. | 8. Attorney McMillan took over a ‘nuw grand jury probe of internal run- ‘lh at he had previously on the carpet by a runaway grand jury and quizzed regarding the gov- | ernment’s failure to clean house. | Persccuting th Prosecutor Meanwhile young Mr. O'Gara, the idealistic assistant who had insist- |ed on going into se tax matters suddenly found elf under in- vestigation. He was accused of in- timidating a government witness. He was so informed by his boss, U. S. Attorney Chaun- cey Tramutolo. The FBI then called on O'Gara, informed him that on May 28 they had been ordered by top officials in the Justice Depart- | ment in Washington to investigate him on a complaint by Louise Hal- public, who testified in the Mac Innes narcotics case. A committee from the Seward grand jury which had indicted Mac Innes immediately came to O’Gara’s defense, said there was no question in their minds between O'Gara and Miss Haller as to who was telling the truth Nevertheless, O'Gara w Jjury, and the cas? against presented to the grand on July 3, U. S. Judge Edward P. Murphy instructed the grand j to conclude its delib- erations within the next 48 hours. On July 5, as the 48 hours were about to expire, the jury S. Attor wanted O'Gara indicted. in effect, was His reply, “it’s up to you.” O’'Gara was not indicted. The grand jury was with his attempts to clean up the San Francisco Internal Revenue of- | now belatedly but| fice—attempts fully justified. Note—Most important thing to re- | | member about the San Francisco | clean-up and other tax irregularities around the country is that federal tax collectors and judges owe their appointment to individual Senators | or local bosses.
