Probe into Truman era graft and Caudle affair
Washington lawmakers say President Truman hired a top tax adviser to cover up a scandal involving the Treasury and departments. A House Judiciary subcommittee cites former Assistant Attorney General Caudle as vulnerable but notes one dissenting Democrat. A separate Ways and Means report links high official misconduct to resignations and dismissals amid the Caudle case. Paris observers say Jacques Soustelle delays forming a government after talks, signaling failure to unite on a national front policy.
