McCarran Admits Aid To Gangster Run Flamingo Hotel
Senator Pat McCarran testified in a Greenspun suit that he interceded with the Internal Revenue Bureau and the Justice Department to reduce tax claims on the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. He also denied conspiring to destroy the Las Vegas Sun, noting he helped keep Hank Greenspun out of jail in 1950 after a guilty arms case. He acknowledged meals and office space at Las Vegas hotels and said he did not threaten gambling interests.
