1. TEN THE NEWS-PALLADIUM, BENTON HARBOR, MICH. THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1974 IRS Seen As Source Of Abuse WASHINGTON (AP) Some Internal Revenue Service options for dealing with taxpayers deny them due process and condemn them to second-class citizenship, a former IRS attorney says. The one-time tax agency employe, Clyde R. Maxwell of Newport Beach, testified Wednesday before a Senate appropriations subcommittee.

He described "several areas in which there appears to be a present and existing danger of abuses of power in the nature of a denial of due process to citizens by the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies of the executive branch of the federal government." Maxwell, who was an IRS attorney for 13 years, said a section of the Justice Department maintains a list of persons who allegedly participate in organized crime. He said that section of Justice controls the government's strike force of IRS and other agents. If a name goes on the list, the person's affairs come under the strike force's scrutiny, including an examination of his tax returns, tapping of telephones and surveillance. "In effect, he becomes a second-class citizen whose affairs are not private. The usual reviews of criminal tax cases by (IRS and the Justice Department) are aborted in "strike force' cases and often a taxpayer has no chance to explain his innocence before he is indicted and jailed," Maxwell said.

Thompson Denies Daly 'Vendetta' CHICAGO (AP) "It's i just not true," U.S. Atty. James R. Thompson says of charges by Mayor Richard J. Daley that there is a political vendetta to destroy the mayor or the Cook County Democratic party organization.

Thompson, a Republican, responded to the charge Wednesday during a news conference called to announce the indictment of another prominent Democrat, Matthew J. Danaher, clerk of the Circuit Court and a close political ally and personal friend of Daley. Thompson has been mentioned as a potential Republican challenger for Daley's office in 1975. Danaher was charged Wednesday in U.S. District Court with federal income tax and conspiracy charges in connection with $400,000 in alleged payoffs.

The indictment charged that Danaher obtained preferential city treatment for a construction company and later voted in favor of zoning changes sought by a developer. Also indicted were Danaher's brother-in-law, John P. Hyland, 57, and a former president of the Evergreen Savings Loan Association, the financial institution used in the alleged scheme; and Walter Z. Gusich, 45, currently in charge of personnel in Danaher's office. Comedian Cugat Sues LOS ANGELES (AP) Latin bandleader Xavier Cugat has filed a $750,000 suit against comedian Woody Allen and United Artist charging invasion of privacy in a scene from Allen's latest movie, "Sleeper."

(AP) A local resident "naturally assumed someone had something against him when he found his mail scattered on the road and his mail box stuffed with grass and hay," state police said Wednesday. After repeated incidents, the resident, who asked not to be identified, called in state police.

A state police stake-out netted no culprit. A day later, however, the resident spotted the perpetrators in the act a pair of blackbirds setting up a spring roost. Arab Suicide Squad Killed In Israel Raid (Continued From Page One): explosive charges with their Kalashnikov automatics, and the room where they barricaded themselves exploded when the Israelis opened fire and rushed the building, the radio said. The blasted bodies of the three guerrillas were found inside. The group's command in Lebanon said, men carried out their instructions.

They set off explosive belts they wore for the operation when the enemy tried to storm the building they were holding. They died along with their hostages." The group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command, earlier demanded the release of 100 guerrillas from Israeli prisons, including the Japanese Red Army man who survived the massacre at Israel's Lod international airport. "Unless the prisoners, including Japanese commando Kozo- Ukamoto, are released within six hours, we shall not be responsible for what will happen to the hostages," said the ultimatum telephoned to news agency offices in Beirut, the Lebanese capital. The statement did not say how many hostages were being held, and there was no confirmation from Israeli officials. But it was believed that they a man and several "children who were asleep in the house seized by the guerrillas.

The Israeli government was not expected to comply with the guerrillas' demands. It has consistently refused all such demands, contending that to meet them would only encourage the terrorists to further attacks. One policeman was wounded when his vehicle was damaged, apparently by a bazooka shell, and the police commander's car also was hit. Police and army units sealed off the town, and its residents were rushed to the shelters. in which they take refuge when guerrillas in southern Lebanon shell them.

The woman whose home was invaded by the guerrillas told a Tel Aviv newspaper: "About 7:30 a tall man wearing army clothes entered our house and started shooting without saying a word. I was hit, but I threw myself out of a window and neighbors took me to a first aid station." The woman, who was not identified, was only slightly wounded. She said her husband and children were in the house sleeping when the man entered. She did not know their fate.

(AP Wirephoto) 'Cinque' Identified As Potential Killer (Continued From Page One) emotionally confused in a report submitted by the California Corrections Reception and Guidance Center at Chino. "His fascination with firearms and explosives made him dangerous," that report said. The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner and television station KQED have identified DeFreeze as the man who calls himself Cinque. In the most recent tape sent by Miss Hearst's abductors to her parents, Cinque included a message to his children.

Their names corresponded with the names of DeFreeze's children. The Los Angeles trial stemmed from a Nov. 17, 1969, shootout after DeFreeze robbed a woman of a $1,000 cashier's check. DeFreeze was wounded and then arrested after exchanging gunfire with police and a bank guard. DeFreeze was convicted of robbery and assault and was committed to a sentence of five years to life at the California Medical Facility at Vacacille, which provides medical and psychiatric treatment.

He escaped in 1973. Officials say the Symbionese Liberation Army has about 25 members. State 'Superagency' Bill May Return LANSING, Mich. (AP)-A sidetracked plan to create "superagency" combining human services in state government may be resurrected, from a Senate committee. The plan fell by the wayside after the governor's office agreed to allow the legislature a bigger role in merging three state departments public health, mental health and social services into the proposed giant agency.

On Wednesday, however, lawmakers revealed a compromise plan circulated in the Senate, which Sen. Robert Davis, R- Gaylord, said included proposed amendments worked out with the executive office. Considered the key provision among the compromise amendments would be one calling for creation of two special committees including each chamber's leaders, and representatives from human service from appropriations committees. Those groups would consider the governor's reorganization plan and suggest changes, working with a group of department heads and a citizens' advisory unit appointed by the governor. Another proposed change would demand legislative approval of a master reorganization plan prior to the issuance of an executive order from the governor formalizing the transfer.

The bill is bogged down in the State Affairs Commttee, chaired by Sen. Philip Pittenger, R-Lansing. Nixon Bid $1 Million For Papers WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Otto E.

Passman himself is not among the syndicate but said the group had approached him through a special assistant at his home office in Monroe, La.

"Don't try to change my mind, it won't help," she told the party caucus, and complained about political rivals "who say I am only driven by lust for power." Noting the wave of dissent following the loss of more than 2,500 men in the October war, she warned: "We cannot ignore public feeling The atmosphere created around the government has made it impossible for the government to handle all the problems facing us." A member of the immigrant Establishment that has dominated Israel since its birth in 1948, Mrs. Meir has led the government since 1969 through a war of attrition with Egypt, the October war, and postwar negotiations that produced the first Israeli withdrawal from territory taken from the Arabs in the 1967 war.

The future of Dayan, the onetime public idol, was unclear. The charge that he, Mrs. Meir and other Labor leaders were to blame because the Arab attack in October took the armed forces by surprise was the major factor in the setback the ruling party suffered in the general election Dec. 31. An investigating commission last week absolved Dayan of personal blame but rebuked his chief of staff, Lt.

Gen. David Elazar, who resigned. Many, including Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, contended that Dayan should share the blame and resign, but he refused. President Katzir could designate a political leader to form a government, but Labor party leaders said new elections were inevitable. The leader of the Likud opposition, Menahem Begin, announced he would try to put together a coalition cabinet to serve until elections.
