Cannot See
 Necessity For
 Added ares

Washington, Aug. 5-Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has failed today to convince Congress that new taxes are necessary to care for govern ment needs during the present and next fiscal year.
 His plea for another quarter of billion dollars apparently fell on deaf ears, for Republican leaders in the House are just adamant today as ever. that no additional levies will be made. The Democrats are frank 1y gleeful over the situation and they are already planning to make political capital out of ''the Republican prom ise to decrease taxes" Congression- al elections are already looming on the political horizon.
 Forced by criticism of the Ways and Means Committee to revise his es- inmates of expenditures and receipts made some days ago, Mellon has lop- ped off many millions of expendi- tuSre.
