New Jersey Prosecutor Tompkins Vows Firm Stance on Subversives
William F. Tompkins, named head of the new Internal Security Division in the Justice Department, vows to hit hard on subversives. The Newark-born Republican, U S attorney for New Jersey, aims to push cases before grand juries and into court with his team, while FBI handles initial investigations. He plans to clear up connections to Abner Zwillman amid ongoing cases and expects Senate confirmation around June. Tompkins, in Maplewood with wife Jane and son William Jr, stresses long hours and a hands-on staff to crack rackets and narcotics in New Jersey.
