Britain and France have warned

nothing, he asserted.
Cites Cases
Helvering made no charge that
the methods employed were illeg
al. Yesterday he testified that
the courts had upheld the validity
of a personal holding company
established by Cecil B. De Mille,
motion picture producer.
Citing individual cases included
in the analysis, Helvering said
that the Robert P. Scripps com-
pany reported no income tax or
surtax for 1934, on a net income
of fl73,599.63. The company, Hel
vering said, is the personal hold-
ing company of Robert P. Scripps
Losses Computed
Helvering had previously ex
plained that some of the data
garding taxes in each individual
case was based on various trea
sury “assumptions” as to the ex-
tent “to which personal holding
companies have been employed as
tax avoidance instrumentalities.”
- On the basis if these ossump-
tions, Helvering said that* his bu-
reau estimated, after deucting di-
vidends paid by the Robert P,
Scripps Go. to its stockholders,
“That an additional surtax of
$59,840 would have been paid by
Mr. Scripps if the personal hold-
ing company device had not been
employed.”
No Corporate Tax
The second individual case sub-
mitted was that of the E. W.
Scripps company which Helvering
said was a personal holding
company of E. W. Scripps, who
appear* to be the son of Robert
Scripps.”
Helvering said that the bureau
had computed that payment Of
surtax for 1934 In the amount of
$449,134, “was avoided by use of
holding company," fBb rib!
econo of which he Said was
405. The company paid
