Justice Dept. Assumes Probe Of Mayock Case
The Justice Department takes over a probe into the Mayock case, seeking rapid action on a claimed 8.21 million dollar refund from excess profits taxes. The inquiry notes a sped up decision, tied to Snyder and his son in law John Morton’s Washington role for Universal Pictures in 1950, with the refund later trimmed to three million. A separate Treasury ruling concerns Frank Rand’s 390,000 income tax refund, settled at 175,000, with officials questioning the speed of approval and possible ties to Snyder. The committee plans a report after further hearings and will monitor future developments.
