TAX OFFICIALS Periodic Financial Statements Would Keep Men Honest, Solons Suggest. WASHINGTON (IT) House tax scandal investigators will recom jnend that all key officials of" the Internal Revenue Bureau be required to file, regular statements of their personal finances, it was learned today. The proposal is contained in a report soon to be made public by the House Ways and Means subcommittee Which has been delving into the bureau's operations for the past .18 months. Informants said the proposal has the unanimous support of Republican and Democratic members.

The Subcommittee believes that requiring tax officials to make a periodic clean breast of their private finances will present any recurrence of cases such as those involving Joseph D. Nunan former internal revenue commissioner and Daniel A. Boliclv former assistant commissioner. Nunan. the nation's top tax collector from 1944 to 1947, was In dicted Dec.

3 by a Brooklyn. N. federal grand jury on a charge of cheating the government out of $91,086 in income taxes from 1946 to 1950. inclusive. Bqlich was indicted Sept.

LeMay of the Internal Revehue Bureau's Boston intelligence unit testified lasf April that Bolich spent $115,000 from 1946 through 1950 when his government salary totalled about $53,000. Other tax agents, testified that Nunan spent 5161,000 more than he re ported in income for the years 1945 1950. The subcommittee plans to make public its report to the full Ways and Means Committee in the next I few days. I The subcommittee believes that i much of the corruption it found in the Internal Revenue Bureau was brought out through so called "net worth" questionnaires which it distributed to bureau employes.

Some employes refused to answer the questionnaires. Others, the subcommittee found, made erroneous statements. Tne Internal Revenue Bureeu now: requires its employes to fill out statements of financial condition whenNthey first go to work. But 'there isno followup mafe certain Xhaft they haven't been feathering thiey own nests by helping to tax cases. subcommittee wants a fol low up to be made every few years, perhaps every three.
