Filthy Tape Evidence Ties Ex-County Official to Prostitution
A recorded 1950 oral dialogue between Bryce H. Wilson and Dolores Raines was admitted as evidence in the ex-county official’s trial. Charles Bergel testified he supervised the recording made by Freddie Harrington. The tape, about 45 minutes, centers on a house of prostitution run by Raines and possibly implicates others in immoral activity. A public hearing was planned after a private judge’s review.

Tax Hike Receives Committee Approval In June Session
Washington June 7 The House Ways and Means Committee gave final approval to a broad tax package raising total revenue by about 7.1 billion dollars annually. Individual taxes would add a 12 percent defense tax, while corporate rates rise five points. Corporations under 25 thousand dollars would move from 25 to 30 percent and those above from 47 to 52 percent. Excise taxes on liquor cigars automobiles and gasoline would increase by about 1 billion dollars. The plan also tightens excess profits taxes and closes loopholes. The 12 percent individual increase is expected to yield 2.9 billion annually and corporate hikes about 2.08 billion.
