Hoppe, was from the tax-collecting agency 1953 because he refused to "whitewash" a report reflecting on the character of another official still holds a key post in the internal revenue service, declined to name, the other official but told Associated Press, Hoppe will do so "when he takes the stand" in a suit pending before the United States court of claims. Fired by Andrews In the suit, Hoppe, now a Dallas, Texas lawyer, contends was fired by Internal Revenue Commissioner Coleman Andrews "on political considerations." He says his dismissal was upheld by other high, officials including Secretary Treasury Humphrey and civil service commissioners.

John Whittall, 46, headquarters captain for the state patrol and executive director of the state safety council, died at his home in Tacoma today. Whittall, who first went work for the state in 1934, had been away from his desk for the last two weeks with a leg ailment. His death, however, apparently resulted from a heart attack. He is survived by his widow. Avis, and a son, Peter, who is with the armed forces on Formosa.

Whittall began working for the state tax commission in 1934. and was employed by the state department of labor industry before joining the patrol in 1938.

Marcus said they haven't paid him for representing Haymes in his succesful fight against deportation to his native Argentina and in disputes fith the crooner's former wives. Marcus, who said Miss Hayworth engaged him, said $25,000 was a "reasonable value" for his services and his efforts to collect it were "ignored, disregarded and refused." Miss Hayworth walked out on Haymes last week after an argument, but has not indicated whether she plans to file for divorce. Each has been married three times previously.

All new officials are subject to "integrity checks" by this inspection Hoppe said Deputy Commissioner O. Gordon Delk cized and then suppressed his reHe said Delk favored dehim but that Andrews insisted he get out of the revenue service because he had become "a controversial White House Mum Andrews, Hoppe said, took the position "I was a Dunlap-Snyder appointee and he'd have the entire Eisenhower force on his neck" if Hoppe remained in the agency.

John B. Dunlap headed the revenue service late in the Truman administration and John W. Snyder was Truman's secretary of the treasury. Andrews describes himself as a "Byrd Democrat." He was sponsored for his present post by Senator Byrd The summer White House in Denver said there would be no comment from the Eisenhower headquarters. Hoppe said his own appointment to the revenue service actually came under the Hoover administration.

(P)- Senator Douglas (D-Ill.) said today the Eisenhower administration would make a "sacrifice of national security" if it carries out reported plans for massive ve cuts in defense spending this year. "The Russians have not changed in their basic hostility toward Douglas told a reporter. "They are merely trying soften up the United States and our allies by smiles, fair words and the wave cowboy hat." The senator apparently referred to the cowboy presented to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov during his American visit earlier this year and waved by Molotov for news photographers.

Pentagon Plans Aired Douglas' comments were occasioned by reports that the Pentagon is trying to reduce defense spending by a billion dollars this year to help the administration in its drive for a These reports said the air force was being asked to take the biggest The Illinois Democrat called the military economy plans, "a campaign talking point next when there will be a presidential election and a drive by the Republicans to regain control of congress. Douglas and other Democrats fought all armed forces cutbacks proposed by the administration during the last session of congress. The administration got some through, however, and now Secretary of Defense Wilson is reported to be pushing for more savings. Informed sources said the army and navy would be asked to contribute by speeding up their scheduled manpower reductions. Great Mistake Seen "We will make a great mistake if we let the friendship between Marshal Zhukov and the President, and President Bulganin's best wishes for Eisenhower's reelection, blind us to the real facts of life," Douglas said.

"Let us keep the Soviet defense minister and Bulganin is the Russian premier. Zhukov became friendly with Eisenhower when they both led armies against the nazis during World war II. They had a reunion recently at the big four conference in Geneva. CHURCH CALLED FAILURE IN CITY Protestant HONOLULU, Episcopal Sept. 7.

7. (AP) -The French government today used first time an antitax evasion law passed three years ago to deny a business man the right to any gainful occupation or even to drive an automobile until he pays up. The boom was lowered on Attilius Pappa, a scrap iron dealer of this Mediterranean port. Neither he nor the government would say how much money is due. Press reports said "dozens of millions" of francs are involved.

A million francs is the equivalent of $2857. Pappa said he cannot pay his taxes because the government sold his business at to public collect auction overdue five years ago money. He said the government requested him to pay, at the rate of 1,000,000 francs month. Much of this piled-up debt is the result of unjust fines, he said. TRAGEDY TOLL MOUNTS CARDIFF.
