FUND LACK HITS
D. c. INQUIRY

Unless the House appropriates
$4,000 for expenses, the investiga-
ton of District affairs planned
by the House District Committee
will have to be abandoned.
A resolution calling for the
appropriation is on the House
calendar but can only be called
up under unanimous consent.
The House committee authorized
the investigation several weeks
ago but delay was experienced
in introducing the resolution for
funds needed to defray costs of
stenographic records and other
expenses.
Under the committee authority
the probe would be made by a
special subcommittee headed by
Representative Vincent L. Pal

TAX BLAME

NEW YORK, June IL UNS0.
Garrard Winston, general counsel
to the National City Company,
testified today at the trial OF
Charles E. Mitchell for income
tax evasion that he had advised
the former head of the National
City Bank that the $666,666 the
latter received in 1929 from the
company's. management tu n d"
was not income"
Mitchell omitted the amount
from his income tax return on
the ground it was voted IAN over
payment" by the board of direc-
tors, the sum to be repaid out OF
future accruals in the manage
ment fund.
The witness said he had
reached his decision in the matter
of the management fund after
talking it over with Harry w.
Forbes, tax expert. He testified:
81 told MIR. Mitchell I had
consulted with Forbes and we
were both of the opinion this
payment from the management
fund was not income to the
officers receiving it."
Distribution Came First
The distribution was made in
July, 1929. The resolution was
voted by the board in December
1929. United States Attorney
Medalie asked:
"WhO proposed, in substance,
the resolution with respect to
the July distributiOns?"
Gas 1 recall it, the matter
was raised by Mr.. Mitchell"
Medalie attempted to bring out
from Winston that there were
differences between the photostat
copies of Winston's typewriter
memorandum on the management
fund matter and the memo in the
hands of Leo Berman, Internal
Revenue Bureau agent who in
vestigated the income tax returns
of officials participating in the
management fund. Medalie asked:
did Berman aSky you what
would happen to the liability If
the fund did not make any more
money!"
COULDN'T RECALL IT
II don't believe Berman asked
such a question"
did you tell him the estates
of the officers would be liable il
they died?"

said:
81 have no patience with
people who are no more than
slackers, We are trying to win
a war against depression and
hard times.
1--WE are seeking to drive the
gold out Of hiding where 1t is
serving no useful purpose, into
the Treasury where it can be
made the basis for from SIS to

refuse flatly to turn it in. Their
names have been turned over to
the criminal division Of the
Treasury Department.

PLANS ADOPTED
To SAVE JOBS

Plans to save the jobs of COM
petent employees in the Govern
,,Ynent service have been drawn up
by the Council Of Personnel Ad-
ADMINISTRATION, Of which Harry B.
Mitchell, president of the Civil
Service Commission, is chairman,
1t was announced today.
The Civil Service Commission
Is putting these plans into i'm
mediate effect. Although few
opportunities present themselves
at this time, whenever the CON-
mission is called upon to certify
eligibles for positions that must
be filled by authorization of the
President, it first circularizes the
Federal departments to ascertain
whether the positions can be
filled by transfer.
If that is not possible, the COM
missions next step is to examine
the unemployment registers made
alp of those employees who have
been dropped or furloughed.
Registers of eligibles resulting
from examinations are used only
as last resort.

Large Crowd Hears
Van Lear Outline
Campaign Issues
VAN LEAR OUTLINES POLICIES
TO PROGRESSIVE CLUB.

Talking forcefully and pointedly,
Ralph Van Lear, mayoralty candidate
in the coming Minneapolis City cleo
tons, outlined his policies in speech
before the Progressive Senior Club
during mass meeting which took
place at Fellowship Hall, April 10.
Mr. Van Lear talked at length on
the crying need for reform in NUM-
cipal government, clearly pointing out
the desperate situation the city would
be placed in if new measures for re-
lief were not brought about.
at is seriously detrimental to the
morale of an individual to have to
walk miles in eighteen or twenty be-
low zero weather to the city relief
bureau, and then have to stand in
line four or five hours awaiting his
turn. No one wants his friends to
see him, an applicant in the relief
lines. Unless something is done be-
fore next winter to decrease unem-
ployment within the city, so that
those hundreds of peoples won't have
to seek charity, the situation in Min
neapolis will become disastrously
serious" said Mr.. Van Lear in his
speech. He spoke also of the high
rates of public utilities and of the
need to reduce them in accordance
with other prices.
He ended his speech by saying: 81
am not making any elaborate political
promises. l can only say that should
the people of this city elect me as
their mayor, will fight for these
measures, and will not stop fighting
until get them"
Mrs. Minerva Totten gave read
ing entitled ''Let the Negro In" which
was very fitting for the occasion and
was enjoyed by all. There were
about 200 people in attendance which
packed the Fellowship Hail.
Mr.. Joseph B. Levy, chairman of
the Progressive Club, introduced Mr.
Henry Grain, who in turn introduced
the speakers of the evening. Those
who spoke included Mr.. Levy, DR.. w.
d. Brown, c. A. Johnson, Mrs. Don
LaFaucette, Mr.. William Helm, presi-
dent of the Progressive Junior Club,
and Mrs. Maxine Shannon Jones, also
Of the Progressive Junior Club. Mr..

Volunteer Committee spoke on various
phases of the campaign.
