By the Assoclated Press. ‘The assertion that Attorney General Mitchell would not discuss the dropping of the estate tax case agamst the es- tate of the late Mary T. Hill, widow of James J. Hill, until confronted by a senatorial investigation was made todsy by Senater Schall of Minnesota. ‘Taking the side of Senator Couzens of Michigan, who recently said the Attor- ney Ceneral had not answered questions as to why the c'se was not.-appealed to the Supreme Court, the anesou Republican said: No One Is Surprised. “No one who knows Attorney General Mitchell i3 at all surprised at his re- fusal to answer the pert:nent and proper questions propcunded to iiim by Senator Couzens.” “Senator Couzens,” Schall said, “and every o.her Senitor will find, as I have, that Mr. Mitchell will never voluntarily tell the whole truth about his part in the Hill case. The only way to get tha! is through a senatorial investigation. Once Mr. Mitchell is put on the stand in his own defense ana under the gun of contempt proceedings ror failure to answer he will talk about the Hill case and not before, and he may then, too, have the cpportunity to teil the exact amount which the Hill es:ate is furnish- ing to finance the fake senatorial con- test against me.” The Schall statement followed the announcement yesterday of Attorney General Mitcheli that Senator Couzens would be welcome to any information available at the Justice Department re- lating to the Hill case. Not Qualified to Act. At the same time the Justice De- partment in a statement sald Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, then As- sistant Attorncy General, had recom- mended to Aitorney General Sargent that no appeal be taken in the case. Mitchell, it said, then was solicitor general and. having drawn up the trust deeds for Mrs. Hill's estate, had dis- qualified himself because of the pre- vious connection. “Mr, Mitchell had nothing whatever to do with the case as solicitor gen- eral” the department said, “and took no part in the consideration of the matter of appealing to the Supreme Court.” The litigation involved $1,130,000, and e Government lost in attempting to collect certain estate taxes by a deci- sion of the Circuit Court of Appeals. Schall said that he also had asked certain questions of Mr. Mitchell which had not been answered. RECEIVED BY ROYALTY LONDON, June 10 (#).—Edward S.

Rcosevelt, Governagr of New York. He and Rooseveit are friends of many years, since both were asso- clated with th: Wilson admizisration and House regards the Covernor as the “most available” cf all potential candi- dates for the nomination. “Only Available Wet.” House, who describes himself as a “moderate wet,” declared Rocsevelt is “the only available wet who is politically acceptable to the drys.” The cclonel said he relt that the Smoot-Hawley tariff undoubtedly played a part in creating the economic de- pressicn and termed 1t “one of the most disagreeable” ever enacted by any party. It has put this coun:ry’s relations with fore.gn governments cn “an irritat- ing basis,” he said, and would undoubt- edly be lowered by the Democrats if they were victorious.
