a Board of Tax Appeals subpoena
today and brought TO standstill the
Governments prolonged income tax
case against Andrew w. Mellon.
Although counsel for the trust
company bluntly told the board yes
terday that records subpoenaed would
not be produced on the ground the
Government had no right to them,
the board convened today at the re-
quest of Government attorneys TO
give the trust company every oppor-
tunity to comply. The subpoena, is
sued June l, was returnable yester-
day.
On being informed that no repre-
sentative had appeared for the trust
company Robert H. Jackson, chief
of Government counsel, moved for a
continuance and the tax hearing was
adjourned indefinitely
Jackson already has recommended
to the Attorney General that the
United States District Court at Pitts
burgh be petitioned to order the COM
pany to show cause why it should
not obey the subpoena.
A long drawn out legal battle over
this issue was in prospect.
The proceedings. in progress for
several months both in Pittsburgh
and Washington, resulted from the
Governments effort to collect more
than $3,O00,000 additional tax from
the formereTreasury Secretary on his
1881 income.
