Tax Probes: Ex U.S. Prosecutor Faces Committee.
Tax Probes: Ex U.S. Prosecutor Faces Committee. While President Truman begins drastic clean-up of the tax department, ousted Asst. Attorney General T. Lamar Caudle faces House investigators and tells his story of the dealings that led to his dismissal by the president. Mr. Caudle is an unhappy, harried witness as he takes the stand. Dark shots of House subcommittee investigation. Caudle complains, says "No one on earth can feel at home in this place." Laughter. Off-screen man (Congressman Burns?) asks a question; Caudle replies that there are often quick conversations, memos that aren't thought through and other things happening so quickly -- questioner interrupts, "Well, that's a pretty sloppy way to run a department, isn't it?" Caudle actually pulls at his collar in his anxiety. Government scandal.
