Answer Filed In Suit Over Haines House
The devisees and executor of the will of the late Mrs. Annie E. Haines of Frederick filed answers in Equity Court denying any contract to leave 133 West Fourth Street to Mr. and Mrs. Frank K.

An attorney for the executor and for the devisees is named, with further defense from additional heirs and Atlee Baumgardner.

Tax Inquiries Tie Caudle to Returns Probe
Washington December 14 Charles Oliphant, former chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau, testified he warned T Lamar Caudle that his income tax returns were under investigation by Senator Williams. He also said he helped drop a probe under pressure from Rep Morrison, despite instructions to press the case. Williams has led a months long inquiry into tax irregularities. Oliphant added that Grunewald told him he was helping Senator Bridges in a tax matter involving H H Klein of Baltimore. He described Klein seeking a Bermudian ticket amid the jeopardy assessment. The hearing explored Bridges inquiries and possible settlements, with the case still pending civil liability only and no criminal prosecution recommended.
