 Asked by Senator Robinson, Of Arkansas, the democratic leader. as to the accuracy of statement that he had told President Coolidge tax bill could not be enacted before June 10, Senator Smooth denied thai he had made any such statement.
 q don't see what can happen to hold tax legislation in congress until that time" he said. unless if be that there is an absolute filibustcr against It."
