Up to Attorney-General Mr. Truman said he will leave it to Attorney General McGrath to see the committee gets tax information if necessary on suspected gamblers and racketeers. This announcement came after the president had conferred with committee members at the White House. Income tax returns and information are confidential under the law, but can be disclosed on presidential order. Committee members said an executive order is "in the works" to help them get the information they need. Senator Tobey (R-NH) told reporters Mr. Truman "is backing us 100 per cent." The president would be setting no precedent by opening income tax returns and other such confidential information to the committee. He reminded newsmen he was given this privilege when he headed the Senate War Investigation Committee during World War II. Kefauver said he also expects to get information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Treasury Department's Narcotics Division, and the Immigration Bureau. With information from these sources—added to information from local law enforcement agencies—the committee hopes to piece together the story of big-time underworld operations. Chart Wealth Specifically, the group has set out to chart broadly the source of underworld wealth, where it is invested, and what connections there may be between criminal and political groups. The group has been checking on the activities of a number of big-time gamblers—among them Joe Adonis of New York. Adonis wouldn't say anything to reporters about whether he was connected with the $600,000 operation or whether there was anything to reports he invested $120,-000 and lost $100,000. The Grand Jury is trying to determine whether there should be any criminal charges as a result of activities of Harold F. Ambrose, former Special Assistant to Postmaster. General Donaldson at $10,000 a year. Ambrose quit his job in January after Donaldson reported he had accepted money from people speculating in commemorative stamps.

Gambling Peak Reached in County 1949 GRAND JURY PROBE REVEALED ORGANIZED GAMBLING FLOURISH Sheriff's Office Fails to Halt Gambling (Following are excerpts of the report of the 1949 Orange County Grand Jury) The perennial problem of gambling was brought to the attention of your Chairman by the outgoing 1948 Grand Jury with the remark that it was too late for them to delve into it. In its (the 1949 Grand Jury) investigations of these conditions, this Grand Jury is particularly perturbed by the fact that gambling in this county is well organized combining slot machines, poker parlors, bookie joints, and other forms of gambling, as well as having its own political organization. The huge sums involved in these operations create serious concern in our minds that protection is paid, thereby undermining the morale of our law enforcement officials. No new wealth is created when this money goes into the pockets of a favored few. In fact, additional costs are incurred by this county in added welfare and crime costs. Much furor has been over the gambling situation county. Little attention has given to the fact that certainditions exist making gamblable. This does not extinguish official from doing his duty. It would seem, therefore, the law making and law ment offices of this county work in closer harmony and derstanding with each other the existing ordinance. This eliminates various loopholes make possible better lawment. All of the above states are available to the public at the County Office in the report of the Grand Jury. They have presented here as evidence that a change is needed sheriff's office, by the O County Committee to elect L. Morris Sheriff in the 6th primaries. Review the dence and then cast vote for R. L.
