same year he created a holding
company, the AU Continent Corp.
Later Fox transferred nearly all
of his assets to the holding com-
pany and to his family.
In IBM Fox filed a petition of
voluntary bankruptcy, claiming as-
sets of about $400. The claims filed
against him totaled $56,461 ,B74. Fox
claimed he had transferred his
•lock in AU Continent to his wife
and other relatives and that the
stock therefore was not subject to
claim.
In 1938 Fox made a compromise
offer of $500,000 but an Internal
Revenue Bureau lawyer named
O'Dunne rejected it. « ,
An amended offer was made
later ted John J. Quinn. U. S.

that "if the suit of the trustee in

cuted an amount will be recovered

EN ROUTE WITH STEVENSON
GW — A brand new wave of op-
timism swept through the camp of
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson today as
he "poured it on" Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for what he called a
cynical search for votes in pro-
posals for ending the Korean War.
This spurt in spirits came as
Democratic leaders sniffed a pos-
sible victory next Tuesday from
what they interpret as a last-min-
ute surge of sentiment toward
Stevenson.
Stevenson himself t “
more confident and was predicting jjIS own reason for wanting to go
victory mere and more fa his' '
speeches. Their big doubt, how-
ever, was whether the surge bad
come too late
Last night Stevenson climaxed
a day of rousing ovations in Penn-
sylvania with a speech fa jam-
packed Convention Hall. Police es-
timated 18,000 people crowded in-
to thu*building with another 6,000
overflow crowd outside.
In effect, he accused Eisen-
hower of being a puppet speaking

acquired “it would appear that the
government could have recovered
--—- the entire amount.”
Martin aaid that at the time of
the settlement in 1B41 the FBI was
of the opinion that an imnortant
stock transfer was not made until
four years after Fox had said it
was made. And, Martin said, the
Internal Revenue Bureau knew of
the FBI’s findings
Martin said the sompromise
settlement waa accepted by the
M then Attorney General Fran-is
Biddle, on Dec. 5; 1941. and the
money was paid to the collector
I of Internal revenue in New York
! on Feb. 10, 1042.
I Informed of Martin's tetter to
McGranery, Commissioner of In-
ternal Revenue John Dunlap re-
leased a letter to Chairman Wai-
i ter F. George (D-Ga) of the Senate
I Finance Committee, of which Mar-
I tin is a member,
j Dunlap’s lengthy letter, dated
I June 4, was similar in content to
I Martin's letter. It said that, before 1

payers.”
Martin's letter, made public by
his office, includM a review of
Fox's financial affairs. Martin said
the facta appear to be as follows:

Corp, for 21 million dollars. The
