Agent Refuses To Answer Bribe Allegations At Probe
An Internal Revenue agent from New York City refused to say if he ever took a bribe or if his net worth sworn statement was correct. Charles Vesce, 41, resigned Feb. 13 as zone deputy collector for the Third New York District and followed a similar act by George Kleinman of Brooklyn. The House Ways and Means subcommittee led by Rep. King ordered Vesce to stand down after about 30 minutes of unproductive questions. Vesce and attorney Robert Mitchell then left, giving the same refusal that questioning may incriminate or degrade him. Testimony also cited Robert W. Selden of Upper Manhattan, who invested $41,600 in stocks from 1944-46 while earning $3,800 annually, with $22,800 in cash unaccounted for. More details followed on Page A-5.
