EXPECT TO END TAX
HEARINGS TOMORROW
Suggested Changes on Consolidated
Income Returns Made to Treas
ury Officials.

With prospects OF winding up It's
hearings tomorrow on proposed rcgu-
lations on consolidated income tax re-
turns, the Treasury today heard from
more representatives of taxpayers AS TO
suggested changes.
w. r. Brown, representing Wilson
g. Co. of Chicago. took the position
that the Government should take as
basis for determining gain or loss when
parent company sells stock OF a sub
sidiary. the cost of the asset itself. in
stead of the price of the stock. J. r.
Lideman, accountant, Of New York
City. thought the Government should
take as the proper basis the cost OF
the stock
E. r. Woodson, representing F., j.
Fell, controller of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, said that the Railway Ac-
counting Officers Association recently
held a meeting and agreed that the
old regulations now in effect were fair
and adequate.
The Treasury Department holds that
the cost of stock should be used as a
basis, but the Board of Tax Appeals
has taken slightly different position
deciding. that when a parent company
sells the stock of subsidiary 1t is not
selling assets Of the subsidiary and
therefore. there is no gain or loss. as
the transaction is like selling stock OF
the parent.
The hearings. which are presided
over by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Bond, will probably come to
close tomorrow, Mr.. Bond indicated
The principal witnesses tomorrow will
be Robert NJ Miller and George Morris
representing the taxation committee OF
, the American Bar Association
