ST. LOUIS UP Immunity for witnesses who cooperate in the federal grand jury investigation of tax scandals was indicated. Special assistant Wyllys S. Newcomb said it is the attorney general policy to encourage cooperation. Irving Sachs, a shoe wholesaler fined for income tax evasion, was granted immunity by waiving his lawyer client privilege enabling the grand jury to study records. Indictments last week named Matthew J. Connelly, T. Lamar Caudle, and Harry S. Schwimmer for conspiracy to defraud the government through bribery and perjury.
