Battalion photo by Lee Roy Leschper Jr. United Press International JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Tax payers nationwide are not guaran teed their income tax returns will be kept confidential by the Internal Revenue Service, an IRS official says. Dennis Bollmaier, disclosure offi cer for the IRS in St. Louis, said Friday in response to allegations of lax security at the Missouri De partment of Revenue, the IRS re quires a written request for a copy of a federal return, but will give out information about returns over the phone. “You can still obtain a great deal of information about the return merely by making a telephone call,” Bollmaier said. “I think in most instances we can satisfy ourselves we are talking to the taxpayer,” Bollmaier said. “You can’t guarantee it, no.” The IRS usually asks only for name. Social Security number and address, he said. Bollmaier said with that critieria, a person could learn, for example, how much income another indi vidual had, how much tax he pajj and the amount of refund the perstn may have received. Bollmaier, who is responsible (oi checking the security proceduresd state agencies the IRS shares ii mation with, said the IRS i Missouri does not sufficiently tect the tax privacy of corporations As a result, he said, the IRS temporarily halted the sharin corporate income tax informariiT with the state.

Now, jurors in the federal court trial of an $11.5 million plutonium contamination lawsuit filed by Silkwood’s family against the Kerr-McGee Nuclear Corp. are hearing the woman’s own views on subjects such as employee health and safety. Part of a tape recording made dur ing an Oct. 10, 1974, meeting spon sored by the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union was played in a hushed courtroom Friday as the third week of trial ended. Silkwood attorney Gerald Spence said the rest of the tape would be played today and another recording, of a telephone conversation be tween Silkwood and OCAW official Steve Wodka, would be heard later in the trial. Silkwood died about a month after the union-sponsored employee meeting at which the recording was made. She was on her way to meet with Wodka and a newspaper re porter to discuss alleged safety hazards at the KerrMcGee plant Sun Theatres 333 University 84t The only movie in town Double-Feature Every Week Open 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Mon.-Sat. 12 Noon - 12 Midnight Sun No one under 18 Escorted Ladies Free BOOK STORE & 25c PEEP SHOWS 846-9808 where she worked, about 30 miles north of Oklahoma City. At one point on the portion of the tape already played in court, Silkwood responded angrily to charges the union was not active enough. She said working condi tions were dangerous because the company was under pressure to produce plotonium fuel rods for an experimental nuclear breeder reac tor. “It is also under pressure to get the fuel for that authority ready and that’s why we re in the situation that we are,” Silkwood said in the rec ording. “Because four years ago it didn’t look like this. I don’t think it looked like this 2% years ago. It’s in the last six months this (employee) turnover has been so huge because of the filth and conditions we work whether OCAW would continue represent the plant’s workers.

Wodka testified the meeting was held after Silkwood went to Wash ington to complain the company was not warning employees about the cancercausing dangers of plutonium. He denied, under crossexamina tion by Kerr-McGee attorney Bill Paul, the meeting was arranged as an effort to win votes for the union in an election that would determine cancer.
