President Hoover's executive order giving publiclty to tax refund decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue brought a statement from Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, declar- ing that the order was a “vast improve- ment over existing conditions” and fully complied with the amendment to the first_deficiency appropriation bill. “The real test of its efficacy, how- ever,” said the Senator, who -headed the special Senate tax investigating committee “which sharply criticized methods aof arriving at tax refunds, “will be the honest intent and disposi- tion on the part of those charged with the responsibility of carrying out the order, The Secretary of the Treasury, when the Senate amendment to the first deficiency appropriation bill was | passed by the Senate, protested vigor- ously to the chairman of the appro- priations committee, Senator Warren, Against the Senate amendment. He said it was his opinion that the old system completely and adequately protected the Government interests, but it is ob- vious that the carrying out of the p ent executive order in good faith necessitate a reversal of Mr., Mellon’s attitude.” Secretary Mellon, in making public the executive order, explained that it had been the consistent policy of the Treasury that “tax returns, and the in- formation thereon should under no cir- cumstances be open to public inspection. Policy Not Affected by Order. “This policy,” he said, “is based on the principle that taxpayers should be permitted to contribute their share of the revenue necessities of the Govern- ment without subjecting their business affairs and transactions to the scrutiny of their competitors, the idly curious, golicitors of contributions and unscru- pulous tax petitioners seeking out pos- sible future clients. This policy is not affected by the executive order. The regulations specifically provide that neither the return, nor any part thereof, shall be open to inspection, and in ad- dition, the publication of the source of any income, gains, or profits, or trans- actions resulting in losses or expendi- tures, is specifically prohibited. “The Congress adopted, as an amend- ment to the first deficlency appropria- tion act, & provision which, as a matter of legal interpretation, would probably require no material change in the pro- cedure or practice of the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue. Furthermore, what- ever effect might have been intended was, of course, limited to the specific appropriation made by that act and would not be applicabie to any of the other appropriations available for mak- ing refunds. Soundness of Position Reiterated. “The Treasury has entered serious ebjections to all so-called ‘publicity’ proposals. The soundness of this posi- tion is reiterated. However, in an effort to dispel any misunderstanding that might have arisen in the minds of the public because of the recent discussions of the matter, the Treasury has under- taken to go much further than the amendment requires. It is believed that the publication of the decisions in the manner outlined above will, in a very short period of time, show conclusively that the Treasury has nothing to hide in the matter of fax refunds; that there 1s nothing mysteriows about tax refunds; that practically all refunds, credits and abatements, which are allowed, are at- tributable directly to such causes as decisions of the courts or of the Board of Tax Appeals, overturning the Treas- ury position or holding a provision of the statute unconstitutional, sto retro- active legislation, to uncertainties, am- biguities or omissions iln the statute, to mathematical “error, to factors which 1d not have been determined at the 2‘\; the tax was paid or to the public- spirited attitude of taxpayers in decid- ing doubful questions against them- selves at the time the tax :s paid, l‘(;l\'- ing uj a proper administrative policy ingnm(ng a final determination’ of the amount properly die, and that the refunding of overpayments of taxes is merely a necessary part of the ad- ministration of our tax laws—in fact, an essential corollary of any tax system founded upon the ‘payment first’ prin- ciple so frequently discussed.” Swedish Writer Dies. SEATTLE, Wash., March 15 (P).— Ernest Skarstedt, 71, Swedish writer, who was known as well in Seattle for his eccentricities as for his works, died here yesterday. The King of Sweden awarded him the “Literis et Ar- tebus” medal for his writings, many of which were about the Pacific Coast. Black’s Air Party Stranded Due to Flu, in Rhodesia By the Associated Press. BROKEN HILL, Northern Rho- desia, March 15.—The American touring party of Van Lear Black, Baltimore publisher, is_stranded here. The two pilots and the me- chanic are in the hospital with influenza, and a torrential rain is falling on the unsheltered ma- chine. The three-man staff of the plane became ill during a rough nine-hour flight from Pretoria, collapsing when they landed here yesterday afternoon. Physicians said that all werc progressing favorably, but_that they would not be able to leave for at least a week. Mr. Black, his secretary and his | | valet all are well. When the machine left Pretoria at 6:15 am., Tuesday, the crew seemed In good health. The me- chanic felt bad when they landed at Bulawayo at 11:35 am. After leaving Bulawayo both pilots be- came ill.

Wins Praise ‘The quality of her acting as the Private Secretary in.“The News Parade” is winning the praise of movie fans everywhere for this lovely newcomer to the screen. At home in New York City, hundreds admire her charming personality and she has fairly “set the style” on Broadway by the way she dresses her hair. “The simple method I use in caring for my hair,” says Miss Shea, “has been of great help to me in my motion picture work, where one’s hair must always look its best. It’s just the thing for busy girls, too, becausg it is so easy. Most of the girls'I know in stage and picture work are taking it up as soon as they hear about it. All you do is put a little Dan- derine on your brush every time you use it. It makes your hair so easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It's ideal for girls who are letting their hair grow. It keeps my hair and scalp so clean and comfortable. I don’t shampoo half so often, now. gives my hair such a silky, soft, lustrous appearance that all my friends comment on it.” Danderine removes the oily film from each strand of hair, restores its natural color, gives it more lustre than brillantine. It cleanses and invigorates the scalp; helps overcome dandruff. It is delight- fully fragranced; isn't sticky or oily; doesn’t show. Waves, “set” with it, last longer. All drug stores have it, in generous 35¢ bottles.
