Pinchot. Seex Treasury Breakdown. President Coolidge was told today by Mr. Mellon that the Senate in- vestigation had developed nothing thiat was not disclosed two years E The only result, he declared, hud been a serious breakdown in ef- ficiency of the Internal revenue bureau. The Secretary strenuously opposes any inquiry that will keep Treasury officials and employes engaged in digging up ords and appearing be- fore committees instead of applying ves to the masses of work awaits their attention in the u, unless some remedial legisla- 1« is to result from the study. Mr. Mellon reiterated that be will not take responsibility for the break- ing down of Treasury efficlency “by investigations of the muckraking Jind." He feels responsibility for uny breakdown must rest on the shoulders of Congress. While these interchanges were in prog- yess at private conferences and in the nate cloakrooms, debate on the presi- intial admonition to the Senate to stay within the law" broke out afresh on the floor. Senator Edge, republican, New | Jerseg, declared democratic criticism of Mr. Coolidge's message was based on disappointment that the revenue bureau nquiry had not disclosed improper tax refunds to the “Mellon companies.'t Senator Edge reopened the discus- sion with a prepared address almost ax soon as the Senate convened. He declared the “standing of the Senate in the country today is at the lowest €bb in the history of the nation.” There must be reason,” he said, adding that “the Senate’s factitious and purile resentment of protests from the exceutive is shown by its illy-concealed eMorts to break down the morale of important departments of the govern- ment.
