Will son, of Kentucky.
 In prefacing the report of the Reso- lutions Committee. It's Chairman, Pro- lessor Charles J. Bullock. of Harvard University, announced that after sew eral strenuous hours of deliberation. tha committee had decided to hang to- rether until a unanimous agreement could be reached.
 This, he implied, had been done with some difficulty.
 The adjustment of Natfonal to State and local taxation, the committee de- cided. Is a matter of such vital im- portance and requires such serious con- sideration on the side of both the State and Federal governments. that the as- sociation could do no better than sub- init the whole matter to an association of the Governors.
 The association resolved. however. that in suite of the effort made out. side this conference to attach partl' san political significance to the cis- cussions of the conference on the Fed eral income and corporation tax auea tions." 1t should be placed oh record the fact that reports to this effect are untrue.
