and MiloJfl that the case against
-Sacha be held up pending a con
ference with Sachs’ new attorney,
A. Schwimmer 'of Kansas City.
. On the surface, it would appear
proper for the White’ House merely
to ask for a conference with an
attorney. Hoatever, Sachs knew the
lame of hiring the right lawyer,
though he lived in St. Louis, he
had reached across the State and
hiced a new Kansas City attorney
who was close to President Tru
man’s most Intimate Kansas City
friend, Tom Evans.
/$ After that the Sachs case was
held up on the ground that a trial
would seriously injure his health
—an excuse used repeatedly in re
cent .years to avoid criminal pros
ecution.

his faith, but on a politically po
tent Texas attorney, J. Pseoy Rice,
to him.
At thetrial* U. 8. Judge T. Whit
field Davidson asked Mead this
amazing question:
"Would you rather pay the $20,-

"1 would rather pay the $20800,”
promptly replied tax-evader Mead
and walked out of the court.
That It why the current tax
. scandals have cut so deeply into
our national consciousness. For
when people see other people, whp
can afford to hire influence, dodge

| current cost of government, it
makes for unrest, dissension, and
‘ -he undermining of democracy.
’ Eventually lit may lead to com
munism—as it already has in Eu
