Tax Probers
Close Up Shop
t For Holidays
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE
WASHINGTON, (/P)—It now is
up to a federal grand jury to sift
fact from fiction in the amazing
and conflicting stories studding a
House investigation of federal tax
scandals.
This was apparent Saturday as
members of a House Ways and
Means subcommittee—learned by
lengthy hearings highlighted by
everything from mink coats to
t half-million-dollar “shakedowns”
—temporarily closed up shop for
the holidays.
A federal grand jury is due
soon to pick up where the com
mittee left off.
Chairman King ordered the
transcript of testimony sent to the
Justice Department last week.
The committee called a halt to
its inquiry Friday night after
laboring for three weeks to pene
trate a thick fog of intrigue and
mystery spreading through Wash
ington’s top officialdom and the
haunts of the influence peddlers
and “dealers.”
“One thing is certain. Someone
is lying,” said King.
While the hearings ended on an
inconclusive note, King empha
sized the committee was not
through. Meanwhile, the commit
^ tee will lay the groundwork for
* “ its January sessions. These are
scheduled for San Francisco on
irregularities rocking the North
ern California Internal Revenue
office.

Governor-General Of
Canada Slides Down
Fire Station Brass Pole
OTTAWA, (/P)—Viscount Alex
ander, Canada’s Governor-Gen
eral, has fulfilled a long-standing
ambition—to slide down a fire
station’s brass pole.
It happened over the weekend
at a fire station where he opened
an exhibition of Christmas toys
made by Ottawa firemen.
As he was leaving the station
Viscount Alexander spotted the
brass pole on the second floor,
used by fireman to reach the
main floor in a hurry.
“I have always wanted to go
down one of those things,” he
confided to Fire Chief Gray Bur
nett.
The chief invited him to go
ahead.
To the astonishment of spec
tators on the main floor the gov
ernor-general suddenly arrived
among them—via the brass pole.
