...surprise of hardly anyone, Internal Revenue Commissioner John Bettes Dunlap last week sprinted out of Washington and holed up in a safer spot. He resigned his $15,000-a-year job as top tax collector, and took an appointment from Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder as the new $13,500-a-year district commissioner of internal revenue for Texas and Oklahoma, with headquarters in Dallas. Reason: the Washington job is subject to political appointment, the Dallas job (one of 17 created by this year's reorganization of the Bureau of Internal Revenue) is a lifetime assignment protected...
...applied for a Soviet passport at the U.S.S.R. Embassy in Washington in 1939, but heard nothing from the Russians. In 1946 she went to work for U.N. as a $3,500-a-year clerk-typist in the Russian section of the radio division (she spoke and wrote Russian). Three years later the Russians sent her a passport. "I took it for granted," she said, "that on receiving the Soviet passport I was a Soviet citizen...

Davies' old post as $57,500-a-year senior vice president of Standard Oil of California was no longer available.

Jones refused. The rebels formed the new agency of Scheideler, Beck & Werner, Inc., and grabbed off some of Jones's juiciest accounts (notably the $3,000,000-a-year Sweetheart Soap account). Charging a "conspiracy" to put him out of business, Jones filed a $2.000,000 damage suit last fall. It was the first time anyone had legally questioned a traditional Ad Alley practice; new agencies are constantly being formed by account executives who walk out of their old agencies with their pet accounts in their pockets. During the 20-day trial, Jones himself cheerfully testified that when...
Last week a 14th witness appeared under subpoena for what he called "this unpleasant ritual." He was ex-Communist Agent Whittaker Chambers. Had David Zablodowsky, a $14,600-a-year director of U.N. publications, been a member of the Soviet underground in the U.S.? the committee counsel asked. Yes, replied Chambers, Zablodowsky worked in an apparatus that procured forged passports and other papers for Russian agents...
