often when the tax return OF
man who had put on a big front
and "high- hated" many of his
friends showed that he had pai6
perhaps 50. On the other hand
surprise was voiced at the returns
Of hundreds of men who had never
shown particular evidence of being
wealthy, but whose returns were
a1Gsually high.
Few Ask Information
Only two Washingtonians have
applied at the Baltimore office of
the collector of Internal Revenue,
which district includes the Ma
tional Capital, for information con-
.,erning the income tax payments
of another individual, it was stated
at the office of Galen L. TAFT.
There will be no promiscous ex-
animation of the income tax books
by individuals, officials stated. This
courtesy is only being shown to
newspaper men who are making an
examination of the records. Indi-
viduals will not be shown the en-
tire records. but upon request will
be given income tax returns of any
person they name.
incidentally, their own names
and addresses will be requested
when seeking this information as
matter of record for the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
Despite the apparent loss of in
terest, officials said today that
they expect a large number of re-
quests for access to the books when
the newspapers have finished with
them.
In sharp contrast with the thou
sands of complaints of last year,
only one protest has been received
by the tax collector against publ
cation OF the lists. This is ex-
planned by the fact>that the courts
have, ruled that publication was
legal.
Smallest Return 3 Cents
Unlike last year when only the
original books were available, the
collectors office this year has pre-
pared extra copies of all lists, taken
from the original books, so as to
avoid interference with the Gov
eminent work.

from Washington SO Tar was that
