...went to jail for 18 months. Former Assistant BIR Commissioner Daniel Bolich was convicted of conspiracy to fix a tax case. Ernest M. Schino, a deputy collector in California, was convicted (two years) of tax fraud conspiracy. So was Patrick Mooney, the BIR's chief field deputy in Nevada. In all, some 200 BIR employees were involved in misconduct charges ranging from Hatch Act violations to monumental thievery...
...whispers of "Communist association" had begun soon after Jack Javits declared his candidacy for Senator Herbert Lehman's seat (TIME, Sept. 10). Their only public source was Jay Sourwine, one time (1950-56) counsel to the subcommittee, who was seeking the Democratic nomination as U.S. Senator from Nevada (he ran a poor last in last week's primary).

...Nevada. The state's one Congressman, hard-fighting Republican Clifton Young, 33, has been pitched into the Senate battle against the winner of next week's four-way Democratic primary, probably the incumbent Senator, Alan Bible. Young's bright prospects have been dimmed because Nevada's multitude of miners, ranchers and sportsmen have been reminded that Young favored a U.S. Navy project to close off 2,245,000 acres of good hunting and fishing land for gunnery ranges...
