PARTISAN CHARGES .ENL|vEM TAX MEET
Republicans Are Accused Of Keeping Details Of Bill
 From Public

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-(By Asso- dated Press s.)--Consideration of the treasury tax bill was suspended by members of the House ways and means committee today until next Thursday. Since the congressional recess began a week ago a subcom- mittee has been studying the ad- ministrative provisions of the meas ure.
 A meeting of the subcommittee to- day was enlivened by charges from Representative Garner of Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, and other minority members that the republicans were deliberately keeping details of the bill from the public so as to promote "the propaganda that Is being car ried on in it's favor."
 Mir. Garner declared that inasmuch as the essential features of the meas ure had been made public by Secre tary Mellon in two communications to Chairman Green and in a sum mary of the sbill prepared by the treasury, there was nothing to be gained by withholding the bill itself from the public.
 The republican members of the subcommittee. which include MT. oieSii, QtClluSQ, HOWeNeT, to TeledSe committee members from their pledge of keeping details of the bill secret. They contended that such had been the practice in the past during committee consideration of a measure submitted by the treasury.
 Mir. Garner insisted that if the taxpayers were familiar with the bill some of them would not be ac- tive in it's behalf. He declared that it was for this reason that the re- publicans on the committee were so persistent in maintaining the secrecy rule. +
 Members of the committee have in- sisted that in all it's features the bill closely follows the summary made public by the treasury. Demo- crats, admitting there are no "jok- CTS" in the measure, however, criti- else MT. Mellon for not disclosing certain features such as the proposed creation of a board of tax appeals, to have membership of not less than seven nor more than 2S, to serve for 10 years at salaries of s10,00O each, and to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury without Senate confirmation.
 While the necessity of organizing such a board was pointed out at vari- ous times by MT. Mellon, it was de- clared, nothing was said as to the boards personnel or the method of selection. M
