White House secretary to former President Truman and Lamar Caudle former assistant attorney general They were charged with conspiring to try to fix the Sachs income tax evasion case Sachs was not named as a co-defendant in the conspiracy indictment but only as a co-conspiia-tor which makes him liable to no penalty An attorney for Sachs told a reporter that when Sachs was called before the grand jury in mid-Octooer he was assured he was not in danger of furthei prosecution if he testified It was under these circumstances the lawyer said that Sachs waived the privacy of the lawyer-client relationship in the tax evasion case The legal effect of this action was to make available to the grand jury all Schwimmer's records relating to the Sachs tax evasion case Newcomb special assistant to

o'clock yesterday morning until early today More than 120 operators will handle the calls today through early tomorrow The increase in information operators was necessary because persons who dialed wrong often dialed information for the new number instead of looking it up in the new directories Most of the misdirected calls were bandied by electronic devices which gave the caller a recorded message The record had a voice say: is a recorded announcement All telephone numbers in Greater Kansas City now have two letters and five figures You have dialed incorrectly Please refer to the Kansas City telephone directory Thank you The devices playing the recordings are equipped with tabulators that give a reading every twenty-four hours The first tabulation will be available this morning A

of October Schwimmer who for several years has lived in Puerto Rico filed motions to quash the subpoenas The part of the subpoenas relating to Schwimmer's records in the Sachs case were upheld by the courts A ruling is pending on parts of Schwimmer's seized files not relating to the Sachs case Two weeks after the jury gained access to the Sachs case files the indictment was returned against Connelly Caudle and Schwimmer with Sachs and Ellis Slack a long-time Justice department attorney named as co-conspirators Sachs was indicted for tax evasion in 1951 after Caudle had declined to

charged with bilking three businessmen of $330000 in a fraudulent oil deal He allegedly used one of the checks in the deal to finance a jewelry-buying courtship of Linda Christian actress Frank Hogan district attorney who announced Schlesinger had been located said Schles ingers trail since his indictment June 1 led through these cities and countries: Chicago Miami Fla Bogota Colombia Lima Peru Santiago Chile Buenos Aires Argentina Lisbon a 1 Genoa Italy and Halifax Montreal Toronto Hamilton and New Brunswick Canada Hogan said his men traced Schlesinger to far off Frobisher Saskatchewan where he had taken a job with an air line Then he was followed to Montreal where he was confronted by Hogan's assistants Hogan said Schlesinger agreed to return voluntarily tomorrow by plane to New York This would avoid the red tape of extradition from Canada At the time of indictment Hogan said he had to live up to his reputation in wealth and generally was the one who picked up His mother married Count Edward Albert Bismarck early this year Schlesinger is charged with swindling two retired Milwaukee department store owners and a Los Angeles automobile dealer As Persuasive Promoter Hogan said he took them in by speaking of the oil stock deal in glowing terms and saying his mother had invested $500 000 in it and was going to put in another 500000 In fact Hogan said the Louisiana oil deal was a risky speculation and not an investment in an existing oil field as Schlesinger had represented it The victims of the alleged swindle Hogan said were two brothers Richard and John Herzfeld who lost $30000 each and Robert McCulloch of Los Angeles who dropped $120 000 The Herzfelds were the owners of the Boston store in Milwaukee Hogan said McCulloch had given Schlesinger another check for $150000 more but stopped payment on it when he became suspicious Schlesinger allegedly used that check to obtain jewelry worth about $132000 from the firm of Van Cleef and Arpels in Manhattan He gave the jewelry to Linda Christian former wife of Tyrone Power actor The jewelry shenanigans made headlines months before indictment When the jewelry firm tried to cash the check it bounced Van Cleef and Arpels then dunned Miss Christian for the jewels but she declared they had been given to her Miss Christian finally agreed to return the gems to Van Cleef and Arpels Lawyers said
