SENATE FOES FLAY MELLON ON FLOOR Appointment by Hoover to Cabinet Expected to Bring Battle. By the Associated Press. A prelude to the approaching Hoover | administration was heard in the Senate yesterday in opposition voiced against Andrew Mellon, who has served eight years as Secretary of the Treasury and is about to be renamed by the Presi- dent-elect. Old foes of the Treasury head led the attack ‘and for the most part their criticism and charges went unanswered. The Senate for almost a year has passed over without consideration a resolution calling for the resignation of Mr. Mellon. Senator McKellar, Democrat, Ten- nessee, gave notice he would not vote for confirmat®n of Mellon if he were renominated by Mr. Hoover. He de- clared Mellon an “unfaithful public servant” who “should have been dis- He was complaining of the amount of tax refunds allowed by the Treasury. Couzens Picks Up Attack. Senator Couzens, Republican, a sup- porter of Mr. Hoover, took up the at- tack along with Senator Wheeler, Dem- ocrat, Montana. Couzens and Mellon have been at odds for more than six years and engaged in a wordy dispute by mail over administration of the | Treasury five years ago. ‘The Michigan Senator described Mel- lon as “either dishonest or gullible” for resisting reforms in the administration of taxation and particularly in regard to tax refunds. Senator Wheeler recalled the bitumi- nous coal strike of last year and said a Pittsburgh Coal Co. policeman had caused the death of John Bereski, a Tyre, Pa., farmer-miner. Wheeler added Mellon was interested in this company. “Hideous Crimes” Laid at His Door. “The country,” Wheeler declared, “ought to knew the kind of a man it is going to have as Secretary of the Treas- Hideous guarded highway, Col.

The two machines traveled virtually between lines of troops for the entire distance, although few of the guardians of the distinguished Americans were visible from the roadside. Recent activ- itles by bandits in this region caused special precautions to be taken by the Mexican government in order to prevent possible unpleasant experiences to the famous fiyer, his sweetheart and her family. Both the Government and the Am- bassador dislike to have the protection for such journeys tco obvious. As a matter of fact, they would scarcely ad- mit that the necessity for special guards existed. But the war department was informed of the route of the automobiles well in advance of the time for de- parture. Special detachments of soldiers were stationed along the highway at com- paratively brief intervals. The gaps be- tween these posts were covered by?mo- tor cycle scouts.

No. 28. ‘Taxes on persanal perty and 1 real estate paid durm the tax- | able year 1928 -are deductible. ‘The revenue act of 1928 permits the deduction of taxes assessed against local benefits, such as, for example, taxes imposed by drain- age or irrigation districts, to the extent that such taxes are prop- erly allocable to maintenance and interest charges. The deduction of estate and inheritance taxes is | | confined to the estate. Retroac | | tive provisions pertaining to de- ductions of estate and inheritance taxes also are found in the new revenue act. The Federal income tax may not be deducted. However, in- come taxes imposed upon the in- come of individuals by States may be deducted by an individual on his Federal income tax return.

There are some who hold that the new President will not be called upon to forward to the Senate the nominations of those cabinet officers who are continuing in office. The discussion began with an attack by Senator McKellar on the comprom- ise made in the deficiency bill by House and Senate conferees on his amendment to provide for public hear- ings on tax refund cases involving more than $10,000. Amendment Modified. ‘The bill carried $75,000,000 for tax refunds and McKellar's amendment was modified to allow for hearings by com- mittees in the Internal Revenue Bureau on refunds involving more than $20,000 and providing that the decision be made a public record The Senate approved the deficiency bill carrying this modified amendment late in the day by a vote of 66 to 16. Declaring more than $3,500,000,000 in tax refunds had been allowed during the eight years of Mellon's administra- tion, Senator McKellar charged th this amounted to mistakes of that amount by the Treasury. Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl- vania, asked “has it occurred to the | Senator most of these refunds were on taxes illegally collected in 1918 and 1919 during the war and before Mr. Mellon came into office?” McKellar said that probably was true, but he insisted that Mellon had not supervised the refunds closely enough. ‘calling again that Mellon had once owned stock in the Overholt Whisky Distillery, McKellar declared that he was “probably engaged more in the lquor business in this country than any other man, directly or indirectly.” He also revived the argument that the Treasury Secretary was disqualified under an old statute forbidding men engaged in business and commerce from serving in the cabinet.
