MELLON INQUIRY CENTERS.ON COAL President Korb of Company That Purchased Stock Recalled to Stand. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, March 7.—Andrew ‘W. Mellon’s income tax hearing re- sumed today with the financier’s Pittsburgh Coal Co. stock sale as the chief object of Government attack. Carl R. Korb, vice president of the Union Trust Co., which bought 133,- 000 shares of coal company stock from Mellon for $500,000 in 1931, was called back to the stand to describe the bank's part in the transaction. $5,500,000 Loss Listed. Mellon, who is seeking a $139,000 refund for 1931 as against an Internal Revenue Bureau claim he should pay $3,089,000 more, listed a loss of more than $5,500,000 on the coal stock sale in his income tax report that year. The Government claims it was & “shadow sale,” made only for tax loss purposes, because four months later the stock was bought for $517,000 by the Coalesced Co., a Mellon* family holding corporation. The hearing before the Tax Board of Appeals was recessed yesterday in ciation. Dallison.
