...doing. In 1946 he and his wife filed returns totaling $22,500 with the collector in Wilmington. Through a tip (whose source he still guards), Williams learned that not a cent of the payment had been credited to his account. Right after his election, he started a one-man investigation that unearthed a $30.000 embezzlement and the juggling of 2,000 tax accounts at Wilmington. Williams was even more aroused by another discovery: the Internal Revenue Bureau in Washington had known about the embezzlements for months, but did nothing until Williams began prodding...

He threw 17 passes, all on the run, and completed an astonishing 15 for a total of 236 yards. He carried the ball 18 times and averaged 7 yards a crack.

...recent conferences, however, the French have objected to German equality in the organization of command and also to the size of the force. The idea of one-man leadership was also questioned. So a compromise on the Pleven and Petersburg plans was made, cutting the total troop allotment to 175,000. The 50-year pact was accepted with slight modification. According to the agreement at the last Atlantic Pact conference, Germans will command at operational levels, but they will not receive appointment to the General Staff. At least the Allies have agreed upon the structure and size of German rearmament...
