up some matters now before the Ma
tional Commission, of which the lat
er is chairman. Johnson expects
to return to Washington later.
There is no opposition in the
ranks of organized baseball to the
plan to tax it," Johnson said. But
We naturally are concerned that the
levy imposed be fair and equitable.
/ cannot conceive that Congress will
proceed with the consideration of
that part of the revenue bill which
will affect baseball without hearing
some one familiar with the sport
and learning just what conditions
are. have been given no assurance
that the Senate Finance Committee
or any subcommittee of either
branch of Congress will hear rep
resentatives of baseball when con-
sideration of the tax is taken up.
but needless to say l would be glad
to come to Washington at any time
to furnish any information that
might be desired of me-"
