Internal Revenue Agency
Investigating Financial
Affairs of Sen. McCarthy
DENVER, OIVr-T. Coleman An
drews, U.S. Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, said Monday his
agency is looking into financial
affairs of Sen. McCarthy and will
wind up the probe within 60 days.
Andrews told reporters after a
speech the investigation has been
in progress for many months.
He said his department has no
authority to disclose such investi
gations, “but McCarthy has saved
us the trouble—he has announced
he is being investigated.”
The commissioner did not say
when the Wisconsin senator made
such an announcement.
Atty. Gen. Brownell on Oct. 16,
1953, gave McCarthy a clean bill
of health on questions of personal
finances and possible election law
violations, but said the govern
ment still was investigating the
senator’s income taxes.
