Probers Follow Up Tax Scandal
Washington December 5 Frank Nathan testified he went to race tracks with T Lamar Caudle while facing an alleged 500000 tax fix shakedown. He said he did not talk with the ousted assistant attorney general about tax matters though many people approached him about taxes. Nathan, whose main business is making deals, argued with Ways and Means members for two hours over his finances. The panel recessed for lunch without questioning him on a Chicago lawyer Abraham Teitelbaum’s sensational claim that Nathan and Bert K Naster tied to Capone interests in legal matters.

Freedom to Primate Stepinac Granted in Yugoslavia
In Belgrade on December 5, 1951, Msgr. Alojzije Stepinac was granted conditional freedom but barred from resuming duties as Roman Catholic primate. The 53 year old former archbishop will reside in Krasic near Zagreb with his return to parish life in Srasiec, after five years in Lepoglava prison. Tanjug noted the decision came from the archbishop himself and that he must not exercise primatial authority. He was imprisoned in 1946 on charges of collaboration with the Axis and wartime puppet regimes, and his release terms limit public church leadership. The report follows opposition to any return to primatial duties.
