WASHINGTON, June 9. = Stock
transactions by which a young
partner in the firm of j. P. Nor
gan and Co. escaped an income
tax of $1440 to $20,365 were pre-
sented with unexpected candor to-
day to a senate investigating COM
mttee.
Thomas S. Lamont, "Young
Tom to his associates, did a
right -about-face from his stubborn
attitude of last week and revealed
without hesitancy details of stock
sales to his wife in the closing days
of December, 1880.
Ferdinand Pecora, commi t e e
counsel, estimated that Lamont IS
personal stock transactions enabled
him to avoid a tax of $20,365 on
his 1890 income, but Lamont said
he did not think it possibly could
have been SO large.'
Lamont said he had been "told'
that the private sales to his wife
saved him $1,440.29 and his wife
$595.57. He disclosed erorS in his
and Mrs. Lamont's returns which
saved them $2,035.86. Despite ex-
animation of the returns by federal
officials these errors, which La
mont attributed to the general diff
ficulty Of understanding income
tag technique, apparently never
were corrected
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, brought out. in questioning
that there was no physical trans
Ter of cash in the stock transac-
tiors between Lament and his wife.
Defended BY Davis
Their two accounts in j. p Nor
gan 8S Co., were credited or debit
ed as the stock changed hands.
Lamont revealed that the demand
note received from his wife was
for $50 ,034.50 and had no collateral
He was unable to say whether he
had collected interest on it before
the settlement in the following
April.
Davis followed Lamont's testi-
mony with statement defending
the stock sales as legal, ethical and
"not subject to justifiable criti-
ciSm. -
Pecora replied that the real
question "is one of the bona fides
and not of mere form. .
William Ewing, another Morgan
partner, was called to testify. He
told of four trusts created in 1926
and 1926 by himself and his wife
for their four children, William Jr.,

turn $18 to a filling station attend

something about it,
"Why don't you go to the asso-

"Well," said Rowe, "Ill tell you

Valley Sunshine
Leads In State

Imperial Valley last year held
the record for having the most
sunny days of any part of the
state Of California according to
records from the San Francisco
office of the U. S. weather bureau
which j. B. Norton, plant path
ologist of the agricultural commits
sioner IS office, has available.
During 1882 the valley had only
16 cloudy days and boasted 339
clear days, the remainder being
partly cloudy days.

cloudy day but a good many more
partly cloudy days.
Norton points out that of the 16
cloudy days in the year, a good
portion occurred in the summer
making Imperial Valley winters

The legislature cut the depart

the figure asked by the governor,
to $144,0OO.
The governor revealed a group of
legislators, revolving around the

that the legislature would approve
a special appropriation boosting the

Leaders Drive Action On Indus
trial Recovery Bill To Enable
Recess Being Taken.
APPROVED BY ROOSEVELT
President Anxious To Get Away
From Capital After Months OF
Wearisome Grind.
BY JOHN A. REICHIAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

BY JOHN A. REICHMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 9. = Lead,
erS drove with speed on the indus
trial recovery bill today hoping
congress might adjourn tomorrow
night.
The senate s one big fight over.
the Industrial control bill centered
around tax provisions. Senator Pat,
Harrison (Dem.) Mississippi, who
is steering the industrial bill, said
that if that measure goes through
today adjournment tomorrow would
be possible.
In the house, leaders, within less
than 80 minutes today, rushed
through to approval the conference
reports on the railroad control bill
and the home mortgage measure.
This put congress near the end
of its emergency docket, and
brought the weary members nearer
to the prospect of breaking away
from Washington IS steaming trop-
ical heat.
! The senate sat until IL p. m. last
night, the hottest night in WASH
| ington and resumed an hour early
today.
| President Roosevelt has been
/ quietly applying the pressure to-
encourage early adjournment. One
reason is that he wants to have
congress out of the way when the
world economic conference meets
in London Monday. Another reas-
on is that he would just as soon
not have congress on hand when
the tickliSh war debt payment date
falls due next Thursday.
A third and strictly personal
reason is that after bearing with
seldom broken good humor the
heaviest White House role of any
period since the war, Mr.. Roose-
velt longs to get away for few
days rest out to sea.
Passage of the industrial recov-
cry bill hinged largely on the inn
pending fight to insert the general
sales tax in lieu of capital stock,
excess profits and gasoline taxes to
bring in 1920, 900 900 yearly. Should
this develop into major proportions
passage might be delayed until to-
morrow.
Speed Up Work
Consideration of the industrial
bill, one of the most important in
President Roosevelt s emergency
program, proceeded at more rapid
pace than on previous days.
Without debate an amendment
making not less than $50,00,000 OF
the $3,3O0,00 900 public works fund
available for work on national for
est and park roads, trails and
bridges was accepted.
On the motion of Senator Cope
land (Dem0 New York, the senate
struck from the bill a committee
amendment which would require
the Specifications of all public
works projects to fix the minimum
rates of pay. Copeland contended
this provision might interfere with
free collective bargaining.
Under another section of the bill
provision was made for the use OF
$25, 100000 in loans for the pur-
chasS of subsistence homesteads.
This provision corresponds to the
Bankhead bill which sought to per-
NIT a back-to-the -soilD move
ment from industrial centers.
Once this bill is out of the way,
the veteran question would be the
only highly controversial business
left.
