Reveal Political Influence
In Alcohol Tax Division
WASHINGTON, OP)—Rep. Kean
(R-NJ) said Saturday House tax
scandal probers expect to produce
considerable evidence of political
skullduggery in the Alcohol Tax
Division of the Revenue Bureau.
The House Ways and Means
subcommittee heard testimony
that, one month after a New York
liquor dealer donated $5,000 to
the Democratic party in New
York, then Deputy Revenue Com
missioner Caroll Mealey per
sonally intervened to get him a
federal liquor permit, previously j
denied.
Kean, subcommittee chairman
said:
“We have cases involving per
sons in high positions still in the
alcohol tax unit who were kept
there for political reasons. I don’t
think everyone, who should have
been, has been weeded out yet.”
The subcommittee wound up
the first week of its 1953 hear
ings, which produced testimony
that Mealey failed to report over
$40,000 off income during the five
years he headed the Alcohol Tax
Division. He quit in 1951.
