||| A Republican Senator's charges

g “disgraceful conditions” in the in

i s strong White House defense of

if Senator Williams. Republican, of

S agency.
• Attack Centered on Snyder.
ft At a White House news confer
i ence, a reporter told Wesident
* Truman that Senator Williams
i had criticized him for not being
-r aggressive enough.
SMr. Truman, asked how much
more aggressive he had to be than
to fire those in the wrong and let
them be prosecuted. He said Mr.
Snyder was no more to blame
ft for what happened in the reve
jp nue bureau than the reporter
| was.
| He then commented that Sen

| Republicans in the tax collector

| The Delaware Senator an
| nounced also that he would sup
1 port the President’s plan to re
I organize the revenue system, and

| political patronage.
| Williams Asks Stronger Action.
| But Senator Williams said he
ft thought the President must take
I “more affirmative action” in order
I'* to “restore the confidence of the
American people in the tax-col
lecting facilities of our Govern
ment.”
Senator Williams read into the
record February, 1950, a memo
randum to Mr. Snyder from
1 former Revenue ' Commissioner
I George J. Schoeneman, complain
ing of conditions in the New York
tax office. But it was not until
the end of November, 1950, the
•g Senator said, that the Secretary
S “agreed to allow Commissioner
ft Schoeneman to request the resig
if nation of that collector.”
I In regard to scandals in the
St. Louis office. Senator Williams
said he found the "same pattern
of indifference,” except that re
ports on St. Louis conditions were
not personally addressed to Mr.
Snyder.
, The Senator said he understood
that the Secretary cannot per
sonally examine every report.
But if others in the department
withheld evidence from the Secre
tary, he said, the Secretary should
denounce those subordinates.

The shotgun slaying of Mr.

firing seven shotgun blasts. Mr.
Gross died with 25 12-gauge shot

said Lt. William Walsh and his
squad will work exclusively in
vestigating the gangland-style

see if there were any circumstan
ces to justify calling in Federal
