OFFICIALS CONFER
| ON TAX DECISION

b Sale Case.
? the Associated Press,

.
A conference of Treasury and Justice
Department officials was called today
to consider whether the Government
will appeal from the adverse decision
of the Board of Tax Appeals and the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
mt Cincinnati involving approximately
$4,000. 900 In taxes
An appeal may be taken within
SIX months from the date of the de-
ciSion. but officials of neither depart
inert would indicate what step was
contemplated. Secretary Mellon is Civ
ms personal study to the decision, which
ruled that Senator Couzens, Republican,
Of Michigan. and eight other stock
holders would not be required TO pay
additional back taxes for the year 1919
growing out of profits on the sale of
Ford Motor Co stock. In the case
OF Senator CouzenS, S9,S00000 is in
volved
An appeal can be- taken without
action by the Secretary of the Treas
ury but since the case involves such 81
large amount, department officials
sought the advice of Mr. Mellon.
While decision of the board does not
cell directly for any refund. the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals at Gin
cnnati directs the return of S2,627.209
to Mrs. Alice G. Kales the only minor
itv Ford stockholder who paid the tax
demanded under the reaSsessment.
The Government may be Influenced
against taking an appeal by the fact
the decision of the court and Of the
board were unanimous on the main is
