Tax Matter

After holding the offices of Manhattan's Daily Worker for eight days, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service last week let the Communist daily's staffers go back to their desks. Price of the settlement: $3,000, which the Worker's attorney put up as bond for the release of typewriters, desks, Addressograph machines, etc. As the Worker's workers settled in, U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell said that the raids on the Worker and the Communist Party in six U.S. cities were aimed at collecting delinquent taxes and not at halting subversion. They were not planned and directed from his Washington office (TIME, April 9), said Brownell, but by Manhattan's Internal Revenue Director Donald R. Moysey. Like other Washington officials, Brownell added, he learned about the raids from a news ticker.
