Crime Investigators Turn Wrath On Tax Officials for Laxity WASHINGTON ON — Senate crime investigators pressed Treasury officials today for an explanation of why racketeers and gamblers have been able "to get away" with tax returns just listing $100,000 or so as miscellaneous income. In its cross-country investigation, Senator Tobey (R-NH), the committee has found many instances where "miscellaneous" was used in gangsters' income tax returns and "it carried them through." "They've been getting away with murder for years," Tobey boomed. Similar words were previously used in a Senate Crime Committee report complaining that federal tax authorities accepted generalized statements from underworld figures that they would not accept for ordinary citizens. "Applause they have been giving away with murder," replied Edward Foley, under secretary of the Treasury. He said the Department's Internal Revenue bureau has been conscientiously trying to force "full disclosure" of income and expenses on such returns. But he said he thought the committee itself had found that in the criminal element the bureau did not have "willing, responding taxpayers." Earlier, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, in a statement read by Foley, told the crime probers that a special fraud section is being set up in the Revenue Bureau investigating nearly 2500 tax cases "in the criminal area." Foley, Schoeneman and other Treasury officials testified at what was billed as the crime probers last televised hearing before the scheduled windup of their investigation at the end of this week. Several odds and ends are to be dealt with before the windup. Chairman Kefauver (D-Tenn) said the group will decide on Friday what further action to take against three defiant witnesses who are already under $10,000 bond each for contempt. The three are Morris Kleinman and Louis Rothkopf, both of Cleveland, described by the committee as top rank gamblers and Jacob (Greasy Thumb) Guzik, Chicago Capone gangster. All refused to answer the committee's questions about underworld activities. Just before today's session began, three committees member disclosed to a reporter they have received threats against their lives. Senator Tobey (R-NH) said he had received two threats by letter and one by telephone. Kefauver said he had received a number of threats "in crackpot letters" but did not take them seriously. Senator Hunt (D-Wyo) said he got a warning letter against "sticking my nose in other people's business" during recent hearings when Newport Harbor... Earlier, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder in a statement read by Foley, said the crime probs that a special fraud section is being set up in the Revenue Bureau to check on the tax returns of gamblers and racketeers. Secretary Snyder sent to the committee a pledge of a continuing drive to bring "chiselers to justice." Snyder said there has not been and will not be any lump in the Internal Revenue Bureau's warfare "against major league criminals." He noted it was the income tax men who barged the late Scarface Al Capone, Chicago gang overlord of the prohibition era. George J. Schoeneman, commissioner of Internal Revenue, followed up Snyder's statement with testimony that his agents are now Winney to Attend Navy Sonar School Leonard W. Winney, seaman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Lou Winney of 1084 Brookhurst ave., Anjaheim, has recently been enrolled in the Fleet Sonar school, San Diego, which will acquaint him with the latest developments in anti-submarine warfare.

White served as its treetreasurer and bookkeeper while Max Nehelung was the right clerk. HISTORY — Anaheim Landing has become Southern California's leading seaport but it not in no number of factors Appently, the chief drawback was inaccessibility to the South's center of population—Los Angeles. Silt also filled the bay extensive dredging operations out of the question. NEWPORT — Anaheim Landing a port with coast-wise steam-stopping making it port of when Newport Harbor was out a road-to-be to the landing by gathering dry cattle bones and placing them in piles on promiscuous places along the way to designate the road. In these days—the 1870's—Orange county had no certain roads or adequate means of land transportation either to Los Angeles in the north or San Diego on their leisure to cattle raising. Stock was permitted to roam the vastness in semi-wild state.
