Justice Department criticized as dilatory in prosecutions
US House investigators charged the Justice Department with delay in prosecutions, citing a Detroit war fraud case as typical. Robert A. Collier detailed the Norman E. Miller and Associates case begun in 1944 and closed in 1951 without prosecution or funds recovered, noting delays despite early praise as one of the best. The probe followed accusations of bureaucratic obstruction amid a tax scandal inquiry and grand jury actions tied to President Truman’s circle.

Capone Pal Gets Break In Tax Case
Washington reports the government accepted 100000 from Jack Guzik as full settlement for 900000 owed in taxes and penalties, an 11 cent on the dollar deal tied to Al Capone era links. The open book policy releases disclosures for post Aug 20 settlements below assessed taxes, while earlier cases require a specific request. Guzik’s compromise cites doubt of full liability and reduced earning power.
