THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1935. : Y N L N I e ) ) e A3 N | MELLON'S FAMILY GIFTS UNDER FIRE Financiers’ Holdings Traced Through Two Companies in Tax Hearing. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, February 26.—Gov- ernment counsel tried to prove today from Andrew W. Mellon’s own records that he never lost control of millions of dollars worth of securities which he bestowed as gifts within his family. The legal route traversed by the stocks and bonds after Mellon gave them away was traced by Howard M. Johnson, Mellon's secretary, under questioning by Attorney Robert H. Jackson at Mellon’s $3,000,000 in- come-tax inquiry. Jackson, representing the Bureau of Internal Revenue, brought out that within two months after the gifts were made the stocks reached the portfolios of the Coalesced Co., hold- ) ing concern for the Mellon family. Gave Children $13,061,000. Johnson said that early in 1932 the three-times Secretary of the Treasury gave his children stocks costing $13,- 061,000 and that this was transferred to the books of the Coalesced Co. with their value computed at $21,944,000. The Government claims this transac- tion occurred shortly before the gift tax went into effect. Testimony previously disclosed Mel- lon's gifts to his children or the Coalesced Co. exceeded $50,000,000, based on the estimated value of stocks and securities. Jackson questioned Johnson as to whether the gift stocks, after being placed within Coalesced, were kept in the same safety deposit box with other Mellon securities, and the witness re- plied he was not sure. Another Firm Scrutinized. “Now, when the gifts were made, who had the stocks certified and to ‘whom were they turned over?” queried Jackson. “I probably received them,” said Johnson, who is the treasurer of the Coalesced. Another Mellon family corporation —the Ascalot Corp.—will undergo the Government miscroscope after com- pletion of the inquiry concerning Coalesced, That firm is a holding company which owns the personal securities of Mrs. Ailsa Bruce, the financier’s daughter. David K. E. Bruce, Mellon’s son-in-law, is listed as president of Ascalot. Bruce has attended the ses- sions, sitting beside the elderly multi- millionaire, and is expected to testify before the case ends. “Joint Account” to Be Probed. A “joint account,” which Jackson gaid included joint activities of the | former Treasury Secretary and his brother, the late R. B. Mellon, also ‘was to be taken up for more questions by the Government counsel before he finished with Johnson. ‘The secratary then will testify on re- direct examination by Frank J. Hogan, Mellon’s chief counsel. After John- son, said Hogan, will come A. H. Phillips, senior Mellon employe. who is custodian of Mellon's strong box and president of the Coalsced Co. Millions Given to Kin. The Coalesced was mentioned many ! times by Johnson as yesterday's ques- | tioning brought out gifts of millions | of dollars in bank and capital stock | from Mellon to his son, Paul Mellon, | and Mrs. Bruce. It has been testi- fled that Coalesced common, or vot- ing stock, is owned by the son and daughter and the preferred stock by A. W. Mellon. The Government claims the hold- ing firm is a “tax-dodging scheme.” Jackson, in questioning Johnson, in- troduced records of loans made to Mellon by Coalescec in 1932 and 1933, dates subsequent to 1931, the year in question at the hesring. It was brought out that Coalesced was reorganized in December, 1931, being more or less inactive before that time. Jackson also produced a con- tract by which Coalesced agreed to loan Mellon any securities it owned. Some Securities Not Reported. The questioning of Johnson also brought forth statements that $9,- 368,000 in tax-free municipal and Federal Farm Loan bonds were not reported in Mellon’s 1931 income-tax return. The secretary insisted such & report was not necessary. By other interrogation, Jackson claimed to have established that Mel- lon personally directed activities of his financial empire in 1931 and that any action Johnson took himself was along lines of policy laid down by the financier himself. In this connection records were in- troduced to show that Mellon, while still Secretary of the Treasury, had a brokerage marginal account, which in January, 1932, held a balance of $601,50 for the coverage of a total of $2,000,000 in stock purchases. o 26 PAROLE APPEALS SLATED TOMORRROW ditions in the textile industry.

Protestant, Catholic and Jewish | leaders joined forces yesterday in &/ new movement to stimulate religious | life in the National Capital. | At the first»meeting of its kind in | [ the nistory of this city. held at the| | Chamber of Commerce of the United | States, a new organization, headed by | | the “Committee on Religious Life in | the Nation's Capital,” launched a| program to stress the importance of | |a democracy of religion and church attendance. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, is chairman of | the committee; vice chairmen are; Msgr. Edward L. Buckey, Rev. Albert | Joscph McCartney and Rabbi Abram | Simon; the treasurer is Dr. Russell J. | Clinchy and secretary Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes. President Roosevelt sent a state- ment wishing the movement every | success. His statement, read by| Rev. Robert W. Brooks, pastor of Lin- coln Congregational Temple, said: “It seems to me highly significant that the ministers of religion in Wash- ington—Protestant, Catholic and Jew- | Ish—have with such unanimity agreed | to co-operate in promoting a move- | ment whose purpose is to encourage | religion and church attendance. with- {out any compromising of their own | convictions or interfering with their | own methods of work and worship. | In a Nation like ours where church and state are and must remain inde- | pendent, it is highly important that | our churches—using the word in the | broadest sense— should feel their re- | sponsibility for strengthening those | spiritual ideals of worship and service | so essential to our highest welfare as | a Nation.” Praised By Freeman. Bishop Freeman, who presided, said he had never attended a meeting, which in his opinion, was “more im- | portant or significant.” “The moral and spiritual well-being | of our citizens is the greatest issue of the day.” said Bishop Freeman. “We all know of the laxity and moral sag | in the life of the Nation. Catholic, Protestant and Hebrew—we have a common responsibility in this mo- mentous hour in bringing our citizens to the feet of God.” The purpose of the co-operative movement, as officially announced, is that of “relating such of the people of Washington as are not now taking | their religious obligations seriously and | joyously, to some local church of their own_choosing.” “The movement will include in its scope all races, creeds, parties and groups, but inasmuch as over one-half of the 500,000 people in the District of Columbia are mainly dependent upon Government employment for family support and one-fifth are in the Government service (Federal and District) it will give special attention to the needs of Government em- ployes.” One Hundred Leaders Present. A memorandum pamphlet of the committee, consisting of 20 pages, Was distributed to all religious leaders to outline the program. It was signed by more than 35 religious leaders of the various denominations. The meeting yesterday was at- Man Convicted of Killing An- other With Fist Seeks Freedom. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, February 26.—Gay- lord Lee Clark, parole commissioner, has 26 applications for parole to be heard tomorrow. One applicant is Clarence Naill, serving a six-year sentence for second- degree murder, resulting from strik- ing a man with his fist in a fight which grew out of a base ball game. Naill, it was said, struck Herbert Duvall of Unionville at a ball game in Mount Airy. Duvall died instantly of a fractured skull. Naill was con- victed in Frederick and sent to the Maryland Penitentiary in 1932. SPECIAL NOTICES. BTl ok By See i TLE RO contracit e of Syselt WM. E. HAYES 9417 Nichols . s.e.

Javins, 65-year-old in- | valid, was saved from death last night | by the heroic efforts of an 18-year- old girl when his clothing caught fire | from flaming window curtains ignited from a match when he tried to light his pipe in his home at 530 Eighth, street southwest. | The girl, Miss Josephine Mamakos, | realizing his helpless condition, dashed | across the street from her home at | 527 Eighth street southwest, burst | through the front door, ran up the steps and smothered the flames with | blankets she picked up nearby. Javins, who is partially paralyzed, was seated in a chair by the window of his home when the match acci- dently lighted the curtains and his clothing. He is unable to move him- self without aid end had been left temporarily by a nurse caring for him. Partly overcome by the smoke, Miss Mamakos was given first aid by fire- men. She had fallen down the steps in her home and lost a heel off a shoe in her hurry to get to the scene. The flames had been seen in the second-story window of the Javins’ home by the girl's mother, Mrs. Eve- lyn Mamakos, who notified her two daughters. The other daughter, Miss Helen Mamakos, ran to a corner and turned in a fire alarm. Meanwhile, members of the Javins household were eating dinner on the first floor and when they heard the commotion at first thought some one was trying to rob the home. Javins was reported slightly improved today in Emergency Hospital. Javins is a partner in the fish and produce business in the new Center Market with his brother, John F. Javins, under the firm name of Charles H. Javins & Sons, although himself inactive for a number of years due to illness. A brother of the girl who made the fescue is Steve Mamakos, well-known local boxer, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis.

GERMAN TRADE PRACTIGES SGORED Americans in Berlin Charge Discrimination and Cite Barter Deals. | By the Assoctated Press. BERLIN, February 26.—A bitter complaint of discrimination against | American business was voiced in the American colony of Berlin today after publication of figures showing the | United States’ sales to Germany havé declined in a year to one-sixth of | their previous volume. During that time, the figures dis- close, the volume of United States ex- ports to Germany has shrunk from $15,700,000 in January, 1934, to $2,600,- 000 last December. In the same period German sales in the United States decreased from $6,500,000 to about $5.500,000. In support of their charges of dis- crimination Americans cited a wide variety of barter arrangements which Germany has negotiated with business interests in other countries. Much Goods Exchanged. Under such agreements, it was pointed out, German manufactured products and-other finished goods re- cently have been exchanged for 8,000 tons of Rangoon rice, 2,500 tons of Siamese rice, 12,500 Puerto Rican casings, £20,000 (about $100,000) worth of Australian wool, 55,000 sacks of Brazilian coffee and 30,000 tons of Chilean oats. The examples, it was said, may be They all tend to indicate, American critics said, that Germany is quite willing to barter on an even basis with countries that are not particularly strong financially or that are not large creditors of Ger- many. In the case of the United States, it is contended, the German economic ministry, with an eye to the vast American gold reserves, does every- thing possible to make Americans pay for goods bought in Germany with cash rather than in kind. The effect | of this policy is to swell Germany's foreign exchange portfolio. The American exporter of German goods henceforth will be required to show completed contracts with Ger- man firms for exchange of German products for United States commodi- ties before he will be permitted to bring American goods into the Reich. Business men of other countries, | however, are permitted to deposit pay- ments for their imports in a special account, the so-called sonder konto, and draw on these credits at such subsequent time as they may purchase German products for export. Charge Treaty Violation. Some Americans assert the disparity in these commercial arrangements is a violation of the German-American trade treaty. Although notice of the abrogation of this treaty has been given by Germany, it remains in force until next October 13. Germany, on the other hand, in- sists that the United States does much to throw obstacles in the way of Ger- man exports to the United States. ‘The American anti-dumping laws are cited as one manifestation of this policy. Another is the United States’ asserted refusal to aid Germany in competing in the world markets through a policy of giving the manu- facturer the benefit between the so- called registered or block mark and the ordinary mark. ‘Woman Washes Hair, Dies. Worried because her hair would not grow, Mrs. L. Hunter, aged 37, of Kirkdale, England, washed her hair with a disinfectant used for cleaning sink pipes, and died shortly afterward.

Shepard, 57, of 2539 Thir- teenth street, was held at District Jail this morning to await action of the grand jury on charges of using the mails to defraud. The bond was set yesterday afternoon by United States Commissioner Needham C. ‘Turnage aiter a preliminary hearing. ‘Testifying against Shepard yester- day was Richard F. Cleveland ot Bal- timore, son of former President Grover Cleveland, who declared he had paid Shepard $150 in 1832 for what proved to be a fake portrait of the late Presi- dent. Shepard, at that time going under the name of Dr. F. D. Vernon, had represented the portrait as hav- ing been painted by Paul Bersch, Bal- timore artist of about 40 years ago. Experts later informed the younger Cleveland that the portrait was not the work of Bersch It was Shepard’s carelessness in “going to the well too often” that led him to his present predicament, however, police said. Earlier this month he attempted to sell Cleveland another picture, a portrait of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Md., supposedly 1 the work of Rembrandt Peale. Using the name George J. Shepard, he failed to alter his handwriting from that signed as Vernon and the similarity was noticed by Cleveland. Arrest of the Washington man came about a week ago on a warrant charging him with using the mails to defraud. Cleveland testified to another sus- picious incident in connection with the ordering of two other pictures from Shepard, one of which was ac- companied by a framed receipt pur- porting to show it had once been in the possession of his grandfather, the late Richard F. Cleveland, and that the latter had paid $100 for it. This struck the younger Cleveland as im- probable, he said, because his grand- father was a Presbyterian minister living on a small salary. Carroll Ellsworth, Baltimore expert on disputed works of art, testified that the purported Peale work was a fake. The final witness: yesterday was Isaac N. Chapman, msil carrier, who de- livered special delivery letters to Shep- ard from Cleveland. Turnage declined to reduce the de- fendant's bond, saying he understood other complaints were to be brought. GAMBLERS BEHIND ATTACKS ON HIM, GARNETT RETORTS (Continued From First Page.) under oath.
