here by the National Council of State
Legislatures at the time representa-
tives Of that organization advocated
repeal Of the Federal Inheritance tax
before the House ways and means
committee were announced today as
totsling s12,1so.
John Henry Kirby, president, In q
letter to members Of the organization
said the money used to defray ex-
penses had been contributed by indi-
viduals, State officials and commercial
organizations.
During the recent tax hearings rep
resentatives of the legislative council
were questioned closely by number
of committee members as to the
source Of their expense money and
one, Representative Rainey, Democrat
Illinois, threatened to initiate con.
gressional investigation.
All States Represented.
Kirby said that his announcement
was prompted by the "many mislead-
ing false statements" concerning the
convention and that he felt members
of the legislative council should be
acquainted with the facts.
He said that the expenses Of the
convention, amounting to $12, ,160, did
not include those delegates whose ex-
penses had been paid by States they
officially represented or by State or

''More than 1000 individual con-
tributors, averaging SO each, made up
the bulk of this sum. Among the
contributors were a number of gov
ernors, speakers of the Houses of Rep
resentatives and presidents Of the
Senates in various States. The list
of contributors also shows that about
80 commercial organizations took part
in the movement"
At the time of the committee tax
hearings Mr. Rainey and Representa-
tive Gardner of Texas, ranking Demo-
crat on the committee, charged that
part of the legislative councils funds
had been obtained from the American
Taxpayers League, which. they con-
tended, received financial support from
corporations seeking repeal of the in
heritance levy for selfish purposes.
Subsequent to the hearings, Repre-
sentative Johnson, Republican. South
Dakota, charged that $4,000 had been
IN the possession of a lobby seeking
repeal of the estate levy, but he did
