Justice Dept to Study Mason Case Promised Prompt Review
The Justice Department promised a prompt study of Pudgy Sam Mason, accused by senators of bilking victims of thousands. Senator Mundt said focus should be on Mason's testimony to Senate investigators about not filing income tax returns for over 20 years. Mason, a New Yorker, said he received about 195 a month in government compensation for a WWII leg loss, confirmed by the Veterans Administration. He admitted collecting about 88,000 from five clients who testified they paid up to 260,000 for promised bargains on surplus government buildings, while he claimed he did not actively pursue the deals and that much money went to a mysterious Mr Bungart.
