LUCAS DENOUNCED
BY C. 0. P. SENATORS
National Committee Officers
Letter to Revenue Subordi-
mates RouSeS Criticism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Robert H. Lucas, executive director
for the Republican National Commit
tee, was denounced by some Repub-
licans in the Senate today for sending a
letter to his former subordinates in the
Internal Revenue Bureau asking them
to keep him informed Of political con-
ditions.
The letter was dated October 6, short
ly after Lucas resigned as commissioner
of internal revenue to accept his pres
ent position.
It was read. to the Senate by Senator
Cutting, Republican, New Mexico, who
said he believed the issue raised in
volved the question of party govern
ment.
Senator Couzens, Republican, Michi-
gan, asked if this letter was sent to the
men who check the income tax returns
of citizens all over the country.
IT understand So" Cutting replied.
Couzens called attention to state
ments which have been made in the
past that "the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue can control the politics Of
the Nation"
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, also interrupted, saying, cit is
obvious the internal revenue collectors,
acting for the department in Wash
ington, through internal revenue taxa
ton, attempt to or do control the poll
tics of the Nation"
Cutting said he did not want to draw
any conclusions along that line.
The letter read by Cutting was on
stationery of the Republican National
Committee. In 1t Lucas said, You can
be of great help to me by keeping me
advised Of political conditions in your
section"
The New Mexico Senator read fur
Their from the Lucas letter and said the
collectors he had appealed to might be
termed political spies" for Lucas.
Cutting said he thought Alfred E.
Smith. Democratic presidential candi-
date in 1923, was entitled to square
deal" and that Lucas had evaded the
issue in replying to Smiths demand
for an apology from the Republican
National Committee for permitting"
Lucas to send out bar room cartoon
