Bridges Defends Action In Liquor Dealers Tax Case
Sen Bridges of New Hampshire defended his intervention in a seven million dollar tax case involving Baltimore liquor dealer Hyman Harvey Klein. He said lawmakers act to aid government efficiency and denied seeking favors, noting his inquiry was prompted by a friend's report of an injustice. The case, tied to a seven million jeopardy assessment on a five million profit from Canadian whisky sales, remains unresolved.
