COMMITTEEMEN CLASH
Kentucky Republican Takes
Up for Secretary of
Treasury.
Washington. I). C. April I_The
Senate committee investigating the
international revenue bureau met to-
rfay with plans to continue its in-
OUiry into the refunding of taxes tn
corporations including the Gulf Oil
Corporation in which Secretary Mel-
lon is a minority stockholder.'
Inquiry into intimate tax affairs of
the Gulf corporation ha« led to flare-
ups between Senator Conzens Re-
publican. Michigan in charge of the
investigation and Senator Ernst. Re-
publican. Kentucky who has declared
that it looks as though the commit-
tee was "after Mellon."
Senator Couzcns yesterday requested
the secretary to submit to the com-
mittee a list of all the companies in
which he is interested but whether the
• treasury head will comply has not
been indicated.
The committee itself has made no
such request and there are indications
that the suggestion may meet with
... opposition from some of the commit-
tee members if pressed.
Meanwhile the attack on Mr. Mel-
’ ion has apparently subsided on the
floor the resolution by Mr. McKellar.
Democrat Tennessee to oust him on
technical legal grounds having been
tabled with no immediate prospect of
its being brought up again.

Despite the wides Mad police pre-

mobs of joyous admirers of both lead-
ers who were grected{*ith deafening
cheers punctuated by tries of "down

Recent dispatches reported that the

Meet With Approve.
The popular approval of the nomi-
nal sentences imposed upon the con-
victed and of the unconditional ac-
quittal of General Ludendorff was
prompted by the feeling that the lend-
ers of the "putsch" were actuated by
patriotic motives.
Resentment over the alleged treach-
ery of Von Kabr Von Lotsow and
Beisser is considered to have been
plainly reflected in the verdict and is
believed to have i fluenced the court's
decision which is viewed in liberal
political circles as a moral victory for
the Bavarian reactionaries and a tacit
disavowal of the German republic.
While General Ludendorffs acquit-
tal was widely tukceasr..there was an
imnmw'on that the trial coutf would
order Hitler's expulsion from Bavaria
on the ground that he was a for-
eigner and an active menace to Ger-
many's internal political situation.

SENATE COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS MELLONS
VIEWS ON TAX BILL
Chairman Smoot Predicts
Report on Measure
This Week.
Washington. I). C„ April I.—Sec-
retary Mellon’s views on tax reduc-
tion were considered bv the Senate
Finance committee today with refer-
ence particularly to the estate tax
which was increased by the House and
the gift tax created by the House.
On previous occasions he has ex-
pressed opposition to both provision*.
As a result of a busy session last
night the committee has concluded
all provisions of the bill except the
miscellaneous and excise tax sched-
ules most of which were revised by
the House. Before aeting on these
rates it will study estimates as to re-
ductions made by the provisions thus
far agreed ui>on and the total amount
which can be cut out without -causing
a deficit. Chairman Smoot expects to
get these figures late in the day and
predicted a report on the bill would
be possible this week.
Catching up loose ends of the mea-
sure. the committee last night agreed
unanimously on the provisions for a
25 per cent reduction in income taxes
payable this year as placed in the bill
by the House. It also voted Io increase
the corporation tax from 121-2 per
cent to 14 per cent eliminate the spe-
cial tax on capital stock insert a pro-
vision making income* from state and
municipal securities hereafter issued
taxable and to modify the House pro-
vision opening tax returns to inspec-
tion by certain congressional commit-
tees. A proposal by Chairman Smoot
for n sales tax of one-half of 1 per
cent on sales with certain exemptions
was defeated and Mr. Smoot said he
will not offer it again when the bill
reaches the floor of the Senate.
Democrats of the committee an-
nounced Inst night they had agreed
upon a surtax schedule as a substitute
for the Mellon plan but did not an-
nounce the figures.
