2 LLON SECRETAR REMAINS ON STAND Government Charges Stock Sales to Daughter Made to Establish Tax Losses Pittsburgh, March 1.—(7)—The ac- count between Andrew W. Mellon and his daughter's Ascalot company is balanced, reads the testimony, but the government insisted Friday on knowing more about transactions which preceded the final settlement. Back to his tedious poring over in- numerable financial entries came Howard M. Johnson for his eighth day on the stand in Mellon's income Peals. Nearing the end of his cross-ex- amination by counsel for the bureau of internal revenue, Johnson, confi- dential secretary of the former trea- sury secretary, was asked again about @ series of stock sales which the gov- ernment says were made merely to establish tax losses for Mellon. should get a $139,000 refund on his 1931 income tax but the revenue bu- reau argues he should be made to pay $3,089,000 more. From a great pile of ledgers, F. R. day drew out records that various stocks sold by Mellon to Ascalot in 1931 came back into his possession two years later through purchase trom Ascalot. Ascalot is the personal holding company of Mrs. Ailsa Bruce, the mil- onaire’s daughter, formed to handle about $13,000,000 worth of securities which were gifts from her father. In & comparatively dull session, Johnson told of a sale to Mellon in 1933 of 2,500 shares of Western Pub- lic Service, and 429 shares of U. 8. Steel by Ascalot. This stock, he said, Mellon sold to Ascalot December, 1931, and at that time reported a loss Of $70,712.50.
