Two Former Internal ReVe-
nue. Officials Named
in True Bills.
NEW YORK CONSULTANTS.
INCLUDED IN CHARGES
J. W. Hardgrove, H. R. Nelson,
Frank B. McElhill, R. E. CAL
laghan Are Accused Men.

The District grand jury today in
dicted four persons-two of them for
merly in responsible positions in the
Internal Revenue Bureau-on charges
of conspiring to defraud the Govern
ment in connection with settlement of
pending income tax cases.
Those named in the indictment are
John w. Hardgrove. formerly associate
chief conferee of the bureau, who was
dismissed by Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau after an investiga-
tion conducted by agents of the bu-
reau's intelligence unit.
Henning r. Nelson, formerly auditor
in the bureau, dismissed along with
Hardgrove.
Frank B. McElhill of New York City,
practicing privately as a tax con-
sultant.
Richard E. Callaghan, also of New
York, associated with McElhill in the
tax consulting business.
McCarter Was Star Witness.
The indictment resulted largely from
testimony given the grand jury by the
Governments star witness, Thomas
N. McCarter, president of the New
Jersey Public Service Corp, and of
the Edison Electric Institute. The lat
ter organization represents 80 per cent
of the power interests of the Nation.
McCarter is the man Secretary Nor
genthau recently described anony-
mously as public spirited citizen"
for reporting the case. McCarter pro-
tested to Morgenthau about the activ-
tiles of the tax consultants and the
Treasury Secretary instructed Revenue
Commissioner Guy T. Helvering to i'll
vestigate. Helvering placed the in
quiry in the hands of Elmer L. Trey,
chief of the Intelligence Unit.
The indictment charges that dur
ing the period from January to Au-
gust of this year the accused men
''unlawfully, wlfully, knowingly and
feloniously did conspire, combine,
confederate and agree together and
each with the other and with divers
other persons to the grand jury afore-
said unknown, to defraud the United
States of America by impairing, OBJ
structing and defeating the lawful
functioning of a department of the
United States Government, to wit
the Treasury Department of the
United States and a bureau thereof.
known as the Bureau of the Internal
Revenue, and to interfere with its
lawful, orderly and usual functions"
% Overt Acts Listed.
The indictment calls to attention
to numerous laws and regulations
prohibiting divulgence of confidential
information contained in income tax
returns and alleges that Hardgrove
and Nelson violated these regulations
in conspiring with the New York
tax consultants to settle certain cases.
A total of % overt acts in further
ance of the alleged conspiracy were
listed by the grand jury. These acts
had to do largely with telephone and
other communications between the
former bureau employees and the New
York tax experts
Some of the conversations listed in
the indictment papers are alleged to
have taken place between McCarter
and McElhill. Others took place be-
tween McElhill and Hardgrove, Hard
grove and Nelson, McElhill and CAL
1aghan, it is charged.
The case was presented to the grand
jury by Assistant United States Attor-
ney George E. Mcneil.

Standley's guest at luncheon. va
mamoto suggested that the two meet
tomorrow, just before the American

1t was understood that the Japa-

These instructions, however, did not
indicate that there would be any
change in Japan's demands for
equality.
Yamanoto's desire for the confer

This unexpected move, some Amer

by a Japanese wish to make it ap-
