\u.s. FILES S5 MILLION
TAX LIEN AGAINST
| JOE (NEWSBOY) MORIARTY
j JERSEY CITY, N.J. (J* — The
| federal government filer! tax liens
j totaling $3,395,665.33 today against
| convicted b o o k m a k e r Joseph
j '.Newsboy) Moriarty.
j Moriarty, who is serving a 2-to
| 3 year prison term for a numbers
lottery operation, has been tabbed
by Police Chief Austin Conley as
the owner of a $2.4 million cache
found in an abondoned car Tues- !
day.
The 52-year-old Moriarty who
has a long record of arrests as a
numbers racketeer, has neither
claimed the money nor denied own
ership of the cache of bills running
| from $5 to $1,000 denominations.
! With the cash police found gov
j ernment bonds in the names of
Moriarty and his brother, Alfred,
who died five years ago.
Chris Gross, District Director of
the Internal Revenue Service, said
the total figure includes delinquent
income taxes, fraud penalties and ’
interest.
Moriarty’s income for each year
from 1956 through 1961 was esti
mated at $400,000 annually by the
Internal Revenue Service. He paid
only a nominal amount each year.
The tax liens were announced
after the Justice Department indi
cated it would claim the $2.4 mil
lion cache.
Moriarty refused Thursday to
discuss ownership of the treasure
with an FBI agent, and authorities
said his girl friend, red-haired
Anna Petrick, also was silent.

I explanation was given.
JFK WANTS FIICTROXIC
SAFEGUARD AGAINST
FIRING OF NIX'Mi AR HI AOS
WASHINGTON OP) President
Kennedy asked Congress yesterday
to appropriate $23.3 milion for an j
electronic lock to reinforce safe- [
guards against accidental or un- i
authorized firing of n u c 1 ea r j
weapons.
The United States, it was learn- 1
ed, has informed its European Al- |
lies that such a device lias been !
developed.
The White House declined to go j
into any detail on Kennedy's re
quest except to say in announcing |
it that "the additional funds are i
required to procure devices for in- !
stallation in certain deployed nu- :
clear weapons to prevent the pos
sibility of unauthorized use.”
The budget amendment raises
the estimate for Atomic Energy
Commission operations in the year
that began July 1 to $2,383,588,000.
The Allies were told through the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- j
tion that the new electronic lock
will broaden the margin of safety
in nuclear weapons control systems
and strengthen the exercise of
direct control over weapons by top
commanders. U.S. officials said the
development of increasingly secure
control systems becomes more im
portant as the number of weapons
increases.

I RI P. RIVIRS HOPl i ri
JUNEAU iJP> — Rep. Ralph J.
* Rivers said yesterday he was hope
ful Congress would approve i hill
caling for a one-year "stretchout”
of Federal Reed Fund repayment
installments by Alaska employers.
Under the provisions of an $8,
765,000 loan by Alaska from the;
Meed 'unemployment compensa
tion' Fund, the Ante's employers
| on last Jan. 1 were required to pay
1.50 for each employer earning
$3,000 or more during 1961.
i'he per-eniplo>e payment is
scheduled to jump to $9 on next
Jan. 1, covering wages paid work
ers during the current year. Under
the Rivers’ bill, the payment would
remain at $4.50.
Rivers said Secretary of Labor
Goldberg has indicated he would
be in favor of a five-year stretch
out, starting in January of 1964,
if Congress approves the pending,
one-year stretchout measure.
Michigan employers are sched
uled to start repayment install
ments of a Reed Fund loan next
January and Pennsylvania employ
ers will also start Reed Fund
repayment installments in 1964.
Rivers, on a quick re-election
campaign trip to Alaska during
the Independence Day lull in Con
gress, said he planned to visit
Fairbanks, Nome and Anchorage
before returning to Washington
early next week.
