Probe Planned On Income Of Mystery Man By B. L. LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON (#—House inves- tigators today planned a dollar-by- dollar combing of tae income, run- ning into six figures, from which mystery man Henry W. Grunewald Says he bought costly gifts for fed- eral officials. Some of it came from an investi- gation conducted for United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis, Grunewald testified yesterday, and! some came from betting on the| horses. j He refused to disclose the na- ture of the services he said he performed for Lewis at a time when the mine workers’ president. was in trouble wit. the federal courts. Lewis, who has said Sen. Bridges (R-NH) introduced him to a Lewis attorney, Lowell Mayberry, who hired him atid paid him. Bridges for a time was a trustee of the mine workers’ welfare fund, at $35,000 a year. Rep. Boggs (D-La), reading from a transcript of previous closed sessions of 2 House ways and means subcommittee, asked Grunewald if he did not make “several trips: and several in- quiries” with respect to the late Judge T. Alan Goldsborough. Grunewald refused to answer, saying the question was “not per- tinent.” Goldsborough, a federal district judge here, ‘fined Lewis’s mine workers three million dollars in 1947 for failure to heed his order | 1 that they call off 4 strike and go back to work. At the time, the government ‘had seized the soft coal mines. Boggs then asked: “After you completed your investigation of Judge Goldsborough, you were paid a fee of $16,000?” * “Ofthand, I don’t know,” Grune- | wald replied, saying Mayberry was the one to answer. Mayberry could not be located in New York for comment. This exchange took place before | a House subcommittee which has been investigating the Internal Revenue Bureau. For his previous refusals to answer the group’s| questions, Grunewald was tagged “The Silent Dutchman” and cited for contempt of Congress. He has pleaded guilty to one count, and is awaiting sentence. The court has indicated its sever- ity may be determined in part by the extent to which he cooperates in the present hearings.

Since January 3 of this year, 310 bills have been introduced by various members of Congress to revise the existing laws covering these subjects. You will recall, Dan Reed, Repubican Chairman of the Ways and Means Commit- tee, on opening day of the 83rd Congress introduced a bill to re- duce income taxes by 11 percent; however,. President Eisnhower has said that we must balance the budget before considering any reduction in taxes. Congress- man Reed is a powerful figure ahd he scheduled his tax reduc-| tion bill for a hearing and it was approved by a majority of mem- bers of his committee. Before Rep. Reed’s bill can be brought to the floor of the House for action he has to hurdle the powerful Rules which sets thé calendar.
