DETAILS DELAYING ‘DUPONT TAX GAGE Industrialist, Being Sued by U. S. for $617,316, Dozes During Hearing. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 11.—The income tax case against Pierre S. du Pont and John J. Raskob, whom the Gov- ernment charges with making ficti- tious cross-sales of stocks after the Wall Street panic to cut down their tax payment, was slowed down con- siderably today by a mass of details, with attorneys for both the indus- trialists and the Government blam- ing the other for the delay. ‘When newspaper men talked with Du Pont during & morning recess he commented on the tedious procedure and laughingly remarked: “I guess there’ll have to be a mur- der to get a story here, won't there>” ‘Throughout the hearing, now in its second week, the elderly Wilmington multimillionaire has paid the closest attention to the examination of wit- | nesses and the arguments of attor- neys. Once during the forenoon, however, he closed his eyes and his bead nodded forward for a moment or two. | ‘The pile of correspondence, account sheets, ledgers, memorandums and | ather exhibits in the case became so Iarge today that Leming, after Ivins' comment, suggested that an inventory | of everything entered in the hearing be made during the noon recess to facilitate progress. Disney said he Wwould allow the attorneys to do this. ‘The cases against the business asso- ciates have been severed and Du Pont’s 1s being heard first. ‘There are fully a dozen lawyers and secretaries in attendance with Du’ Pont and Raskob during the case. l)u| Pont was asked today if he had any| idea of how much the case was costing | him in fees, costs and allowance for his own time, and whether it would be more than the $617,316 the Govern- ment seeks in alleged deficiency taxes. “I don't know how much the law- yers will charge,” he replied, “but my own time's not worth anything any more. I'm retired now and I can't place any value on my time.” Raskob's alleged deficiency tax is $1.026,340. The Government con- tends the losses were illegally de- ducted on their 1929 returns, charging | the sales of stock back and forth after the stock market crash were made solely for the purpose of establishing deductible losses and were accompa- nied by an understanding that each would repurchase the stock he sold and that neither would incur any loss.

Callahan, given by | the Advertising Club of Washington, | is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. tomorrow | at the Raleigh Hotel.
