B—10 xxx THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, TUESDAY, TAXINQUIRY PLAN MAY CAUSE SPLIT Opposition on House Floor to Tentative Publicity Agreement Seen. BACKGROUND— Administration hopes of partially offsetting increasing expenditures were dealt severe blow as study of March tar returns showed disap- pointing failure of present revenue laws to bring in estimated revenue. About 10 days ago, President in message to Congress placed blame on willful evasion by wealthy ing dividuals, cited some of dodges em- ployed. Investigation now looms as preliminary to new legislation, B3 the Assoclated Press. Representative O'Connor, Democrat, of New York, predicted opposition would develop on the House floor today to a tentative agreement by two committees over publicity for the proposed inquiry into tax dodging. O’Connor is chairman of the pow- erful Rules Committee, which finally compromised with the Ways and Means Committee to authorize a ma- Jority of the investigators to dis- close information about the financial affairs of any taxpayer. He said, however, he expected de- bate by members who want no pub- District of Columbia—Fair tonight; tomorrow partly cloudy, slightly warmer, probably followed by showers at night; gentle variable winds, becom- ing moderate southwest.

Their agreement also provided: That restrictions should not apply to any facts brought out at public hearings. That the committee must submit | to the House Ways and Means and | the Senate Finance Committees, which would handle any bills to| close locpholes in the tax laws, all pertinent information obtained secretly. Ways and Means Committee mem- bers reported to have insisted that public hearings by one-man subcom- mittees be allowed, but the Rules Com- mittee refused to yield. As phrased originally by the admin- istration after the President’s message on tax dodging, the resolution would have given the joint committee broad rights to ignore laws forbidding the | disclosure of data from income tax returns. It also would have permitted the Benate-House group to turn over its Investigating powers to Treasury em- ployes. O’'Connor contended that would have meant giving the Treas- ury a free hand to disclose informa- tion on tax returns. Under the compromise, the joint eommittee might employ any agent it chose, but he would have no powers to make public any information or to hold open hearings. After the House passes the resolu- tion, the Senate must agree to any amendments before hearings can start.
