Committee heads for New York inquiry after California probe
The King committee wraps up California hearings and plans to probe the New York City Internal Revenue Office. Chairman Cecil King says the Ways and Means panel will return to Washington before the New York inquiry. Witness William Anater, a former San Francisco tax official, testified he filed tax returns for a friend who funded his four profitable businesses, earning about 32 000 in one year. He resigned amid charges of outside work as collector aides were fired. Frank, a Treasury agent, said a closely knit group of political appointees caused San Francisco office troubles. All named aides are Democrats.
