Bill Would Throttle Congress Interfering In Tax Cases
Senator Monroney plans January introduction of a bill to bar congressmen from intervening in tax cases before the Internal Revenue Bureau and to place tax collection agents under civil service. The measure would also require publication of any congressional intervention in RFC loan cases and bar pensions for officials convicted of breach of public trust. The House committee questioned Henry Grunewald amid an IRA probe into internal revenue scandals and a TEITELBAUM case tied to alleged tax troubles. Grunewald’s links to Oliphant and Schoeneman emerged as investigators pursued possible improper influence.
