REVEALED BY U. S.
Attempts Of War Contrac-

Profits Levy Exposed
MADE IMPROPER RETURNS
WASHINGTON. oct. II


A Sl7.OOO.OOO munitions tax fraud has
been uncovered by the Treasury Depart
ment
Attempts Of war contractors to evade pay
ment OF the 12ia per cent tax on their
profits have been revealed by Investigations
of the Internal Revenue Bureau, which have
been in progress for some months.
The bureau announced today that $1o.-
100000 Of the fraudulently withheld tax al
ready has been recovered through pursuit
of a compromise policy, and that the Gov
ernment is determined to recover every
cent of the remaining unpaid tax.
The scheme resorted to by the munition
makers depended principally on improper
returns OF taxable property and income. 1t
Is alleged by the Internal Revenue Bureau
that the big war contract plants charged on
to depreciation vast sums which should
have been returned for the calculation OF
tax IL is stated that in some cases the
munltion men charged OF the entire cost
Of huge plants especially erected to turn
ont munitions They defended this practice
on the ground that the plants would be use
less for any other purpose, but the Govern
ment takes the position that such method
of eyading payment Of taxes is fraudulent
No policy has yet been adopted as TO
prosecution of the individuals guilty OF the
gigantic tax fraud, as the treasury has
been bent on recovering the taxes due. When
the money is in hand action viii be taken
with regard to the punishment or the mum
tion makers who perpetrated the fraud
1t Is stated,
discovery of the extensive fraud has led
70 rigid checking up of the returns Of wai
contractors in all lines. Utmost caution

| officials and agents in collecting the wal
excess profits taxes under the newly enacted
