RENEWED EFFORT
SEEN IN TAX PROBE.
Mitchell Verdict Held Spur to
Prosecutors and BackerS
of Law Reform.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Doubled determination today entered
the drive to block avenues, legal and
otherwise, by which many big incomes
may have been escaping Federal tax
alton.
The acquittal in New York yesterday
of Charles E. Mitchell on charges OF
tax evasion, which were based part.--
on stock sales to his wife made at
loss that permitted him to write off
his earnings, served as spur both to
Government prosecutors and to con-
gressional hackers of law reform.
To Continue Inquiry.
The Senate Banking Committee,
which turned UP the data used in the
Mitchell prosecution and which. with
out questioning the legality of the acts,
uncovered also loss-sales made by part
ners of J. P. Morgan & Co., intends to
pursue the same line of questioning next
week when it holds hearings on Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. Its members maintain the
purpose is to develop information which
may be of use in framing law changes.
Attorney General Cummings insisted
the Department of Justice would go
right ahead with prosecution in any
case where it scented evidence OF tax
evasion. His comment on the Mitchell
verdict was cryptic: Nevertheless, I
still believe in the jury system
Seek to Plug Loopholes.
Spokesman in congressional circles
were even more emphatic and many
agreed that the verdict would increase
support for new legislation. Two COM
mittees are now studying how to go
about plugging income tax loopholes.
The major investigation is one by the
House Ways and Means Committee,
which hopes to report next January a
program which will so increase the yield
of income taxes as to make unnecessary
many of the present nuisance lev1es.
The Senate Finance Committee is car
rying on similar study Independently.
Already this year one change has
been made to narrow the opportunities
of capitalists for avoidance OF income
tax payments. It used to be possible,
when loss in capital was established,
to carry over a part of this to the sue
ceeding year, so it would offset earnings
for two years. That may now no longer
be done All losses must be deducted
from the income Of the year they are
incurred.
The margin between legality and tax
evasion in such transactions has been
viewed by prosecutors as depending on
sales of securities made for the
purpose of establishing loss are genuine
or mere transfer of the
holdings to another ownership from
which they are later reclaimed.

be source of inconvenience and an

In response, McCarl at the outset
called attention to two reduction clauses
in the economy act Of March 20, 1888,
and said:
"As the provisions of section Of the
emergency railroad transportation act
of June Is, 1888, quoted in your sub
mission specifically excepts employees
appointed under the terms Of that act
from the civil service laws and the
classification act of 1923 as amended,
and authorizes the co-ordinator to tx
the compensation of such employees, it
follows that at the date of the ap-
proval Of that act, June 16, 1888, there
was no existing law, schedule, executive
order or departmental order by which
the compensation of such employees
could be determined.
Accordingly, there Is no basic COM
pensation upon which to apply the per
centage reduction established by the
executive order issued under section 8,
title 2 of the act Of March 20, 1888.
I have to advise, therefore, that the
reductions under title OF
the act of March 20, 1888, are not ap-
plicable to employees appointed by you
under the terms of section 2 OF the
emergency railroad transportation act.
