 WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Secretary McAdoo tonight announced in a state ment made public here that he was going to ask prominent business men and lawyers to assist him in carrying out the prov isions of ihe excess prof it's tax, and 70 that end that two boards would be created in an ad- yisory capacity to the treasury de partment
 The nrst board, designated the ex- cess profits advisory board, will be composed of men of high character and wide experience in business and economies, particularly with reference to taxation. This board will analyze the law. assist in drafting regulations to make it effective and digest sug- gestions from business men of the country which the department will en- deavor to obtain.
 Sceond Board
 The second beard, designated the advisory board of legal review, com posed of leading lawyers, will advise the department in the many problems of law connected with the adminis- tration of the law.
 The personnel of both baords. it was said, probably would be an nounced in a few days. The depart ment's announcement says:
 Secretary McAdoo today announc- ed that he would establish an excess profits advisory board to assist the commissioner of internal revenue in constructing and applying the excess profits provisions of the revenue act.
 The creation of this board is one of the most important steps contem, plated by the secretary in the reor- ganlzation of the internal revenue ser vice for the adninisiration of the large task imposed by the snew act. This is the greatest tax law in the history of thes country, and it Is the desire and purpose of the secretaty to administer it eirectually with the least possible irIconyenience to the public, to business men and to iax- payers generally. %
 Reorganization Plan
 Under the plan of Reorganization proposed by the secretary, an ad- visory board of legal review will also be created 10 be cotnposed of promi. nent attorneys of large experience to advise the commissioner of internal revenue in the many problems of law connected with the administration of the war revenue act in all it's phases of taxation.

 make an extensive campaign of edu- cation desirable. To accomplish this, the secretary conteinplates the crea- ton of a new division of work in the bureau under a supervisor of busi- ness cooperation.
 State and Local
 This official will keep in close touch with the public and business, and diffuse information through all possible channels to the taxpayer. It is contemplated to organize for this purpose voluntarily state and local committees. These state. city, town and precinct committees will have no administrative function. but will pro vide a channel for conveying tax and revenue information to the communi- ties. and will furnish helpful advice to the department regarding the ap- plication of the law.
 'The suggestions will be carefully considered and analyzed by the ex- cess profits advisory board. These measures and the reorganization of the stan and line of the bureau of internal revenue will strengthen the service and equip 1t to handle the large task before it. Tax collection in normal times has been largely an incident in the conduct of government and business. while today it is an event having the most vital bearing on the prosecution of our war of defense and on the vast task of production and distribution which the war has
