BEATTY The Associated Press Service Writer WASHINGTON, May 27.—Tax talk this late in the spring of the year 1939 means more patches for the seat of Uncle Sam's tax trousers. Those tax trousers are already filled with patches from gallus- hitch to cuff. Everybody admits * an they're too full of patches.
