Indictment for Income Publicity Expected Soon
Washington reports an imminent indictment in a case testing the legality of publishing income tax returns. Attorney General Stone said federal prosecutors will act in six or seven cases, with one likely within 48 hours, as Revenue officials tighten public access to tax records to three days a week and three hours daily. The Supreme Court also takes up a Wisconsin publicity law challenge to its federal constitutionality, led by Milwaukee taxpayer William Juneau, to determine if state disclosure areas apply to federal rights and whether private financial details become public.
