A few minor changes were made in
the first confidential Richberg- White
side draft, before Harrison introduced
it. A provision proposing a fine of
$1,000 a day against code violators
was eliminated. A section defining
minimum hours as 80 hours a week
and maximum hours as 40 hours a
week was changed The figures were
stricken out and the space left blank.
Also, in the original private draft,
lumber was mentioned, along with
coal, oil and gas, as a natural re-
source, although only coal, oil and
gas appear in the Harrison draft.
An entirely new provision was writ
ten in providing that small industries
employing fewer than number is
blank, shall be included in a general
code.
White House callers are urged to
use extreme caution in approaching

No one around here puts much
stock in Huey Longs assertion that
Mr.. Roosevelt threatened to form a
third party if he failed to get the
1882 Democratic nomination. The
story has an unauthentic sound, in
view of the fact Mr.. Roosevelt was so
completely in control of the pre-con-
vention Democratic situation that he
did not need to think about third
parties.
The White House has a private rule
now never to comment publicly or
privately on anything said by Huey.

iery Of Art today announced the pur-
chase of five pictures in the current
fourteenth biennial exhibition. These
canvases, it was specified, will be added
to the institutions permanent collec-
ton.
First on the list Of compositions thus
nonored is a poetical representation
OF st. Francis" the good patron of
children, helpless animals and birds.
1t Is the work of John r. Conner
Bryn Athyn, Pa, and has been much
admired by throngs of visitors to the

Offlcial count of visitors since the
opening Of the show March %, it was
said, Appropriated 10000; and crowds
OF Washington residents and out-of-
town guests are continuing to appear
at the gallery.
Widespread Approval.
The exhibition, meanwhile, is en-
Joying widespread and generous ap-
proval at the hands of professional
critics. Edward Alden Jewell. writing
in the New York Times. sums up the
general verdict in the statement that
the Corcoran biennial displays de
serves to be called the most thorough
ly representative group Showings of
nativt art we have. > The Corcoran
has won the confidence of American
painters. and this is a matter of prime
importance.
THE present biennial, which will
continue through May S. is the
largest thus far held and Gf scarcely
for that reason seems also the best.
A rapid reconnoitering survey induces
in the visitor a mood of exhilaration,
of frank enthusiasm and pride. ANY
country capable Of turning out a dis
play of contemporary art such as this,
you decide, cannot be on the wrong
track. 1t is a stimulating show
varied, resourceful, alive"

B[ANTON ASSA|LS
D. c. NEWSPAPERS
Texan Charges Persecution
and "PIot" on His Com.
mittee Position.

Denouncing what he alleges was q
plot against him by Washington news
papers to cause his dismissal from the
subcommittee handling the District
appropriation bill, Representative
Blanton, Democrat, Of Texas arose to
a question of personal privilege in the
House today.
In stating his grounds for personal
privilege, Blanton displayed newspa-
per clippings and described the head
lines as "box-car headlines" He read
some OF the headlines. He also showed
several clippings which, he said, were
offensive because his picture was
printed between police officials.
Chairman O'Connor Of the Rules
Committee. interrupted in an effort
to hasten procedure, limiting that the
speaker seemed to have proved his
personal privilege by having his pic
ture taken with cops
Blanton replied that he wished to
show "persecuticn" of him had con-
tinued for three weeks in a concen-
trated effort by the five Washington
newspapers. He quoted editorials and
displayed cartoons which have ap-
peared in local newspapers and read
from clippings about a meeting of
so-called citizens association to oust
me at which 1t was declared that Mr..
Blanton is totally unfit to command
the confidence Of the people" He
also displayed clippings about a pro-
posed mass meeting to ask for Mr..
Blanton's custer at once"
Referring next to a newspaper
headline which told of his alleged at
tempts to place constituents in Dis
trict jobs, Blanton declared:
Il have been q member of this
House for 10 years and placed but
one man in the employ of the Dis
trict government. just one man out
Of all the thousands of jobs available
here"
Completing the hasty reading of
headline clippings, Blanton said: IT
have asked for this privilege so I may
tell these Washington newspapers
something about what think of
them"

Opposition Amendments
Blow in and N. R. A. Bill

blowing down out Of the skies
these days is amazing. Con-
Il gressmen already are discuss
ing the necessity of operating
hereafter with their windows shut.
For instance, the relief conferees
were meeting secretly rs usual in a
Capitol room the other day. They
glanced at their big relief bill sud-
denly and found that two new anti
administration amendments had not
only blown in from nowhere. but had
actually glued themselves to the bill.
One was a tricky amendment re-
quiring the New Dealers to spend
some of the work-relief money for
work relief, and not for experiments
in building and buying public power
plants, subsistence homesteads and
such things. The second one re-
ouired the Senate to confirm Presi-
dent Roosevelts appointees to the
major relief jobs.
Find Only Faulty Memories.
The New Dealers tmeaning mainly
Mr.. Ickes) got excited when they
found Congressman trying to alter
their legislation that way, and in
vestigated the mysterious source OF
the two proposals.
All they found was that the 10 men
in the room, five Senators and flve
Representatives. had faulty memories.
The Representatives implied that the
Senators did il, and the Senators
blamed it on the House members.

DENIED BY MELLON
~ Don't Think ! Ever Saw"
Memorandum, Says
Financier.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSocfated fresS
PITTSBURG, April Stalking up
his question -and-answer fencing
match with the Government again to-
day, Andrew w. Mellon put himself
on record with the positive statement
he never while Secretary of the Treas
ury sought information on how tax
payments could legally be avoided.
The s0-year-old millionaire, pro-
testing o s., ,089, 600 additional assess
ment on his 1881 income. began his
third day of cross-examination ap-
parently no more fatigued than when
he took the stand.
The tax information matter came
up as Robert. H. Jackson, counsel for
the Internal Revenue Bureau, pro-
duced q two-page memorandum signed
by David H. Blair, former tax commits
sioner. which purported to answer a
request from Mellon on what legal
methods could be taken to avoid taxes.
Admits Sale to Create Loss.
"I have not the least knowledge of
this" the flnancier told Jackson. Not
that might not have asked for such
information If there had been the oc-
casion. but ] don't think I ever saw
1t before"
jackson then asked II Mellon had
not in 1891 sold stock tin the Pitts
burgh Coal CO.. in order to create a
tax loss. He received an Affirmative
answer.
That Is one Of the means offered
in this memorandum" said the Gov
ernment attorney
An objection by Frank J. Hogan,
Melons attorney, to this questioning
was upheld and Jackson then had the
Blair letter offered as evidence.
Business Life Reviewed.
The long hours Of interrogation by
Jackson led the elderly financier
through 80 years Of his business life
and much of it concerning the gifts
to his children. Paul Mellon and Ailsa
Bruce. which led to formation Of the
two family holding companies, Co.
alesced and Ascalot.
Through it all Mellon insisted that
when he went to Washington in 1921
he divorced himself from business in
terests, just the same "as II had
died and left everything"
ITO whom?" Jackson asked
ITO whom I should, my children"
was the reply.
Mellon also told his interrogation
that the employment of d. D. Shep-
rH ~ al "a
Revenue Bureau, had nothing to do
with tax affairs, that he simply had
wanted a young. dependable man for
. position with him.
Good WiT' Started Career.
Good will was the only capital with
which he began his banking career,
the financier said
He readily recalled giving his
brother, the late r. B. Mellon. a one
half interest in the banking business
of r Mellon g. Sons. which had been
turned over to him by his father in
1885.
Can you give me the approximate
worth of T. Mellon & Sons at that
time?" asked jackson.
1T was o banking business-the
credit. My father had received de-
posits and loaned money. and the
business grew and he didn't put in
any specific capital. 1t never was
carried on the books" said Mellon.
SO that what Thomas Mellon gave
you was good will and the name of
going concern that had no capital?"
asked Jackson.

Government Is . large consumer of

Revenue Payments Cited.
Colladsy presented another analysis
showing that for the fiscal wear 1894
the District paid the Federal Gov
ernment $l0,942. $50 in internal rev.
enue, exceeding that paid by any one
Of "a States. 1t also showed the
amount paid by the District in this
way exceeded the aggregate Of such
taxes paid by nine States. Colladay
pointed out that those nine States
have q representation In the two
branches of Congress Of AZ members.
Although reafflrming its adherence
to the principle that the Federal
share should be q fixed percentage,
as called for in the unrepealed sub
stantive law of 1927, that laid down
the 60-40 ratio, the Citizens Com
mittee Joined with the Commissioners
in recommending the 10-year average
figure of $8,317 500 as the Federal
payment II the lump-sum practice is
to be followed.
Hazen Makes Strong Plea.
The discussion of fiscal relations
was brought to close with . strong
plea from Commissioner Hasen, who
declared:
There Is just one other word, Sen
ator. that Mr.. Colladay spoke of-the
exempt property is 40 per cent. Some
years ago that was less. Now, we will
assume that that percentage Is 60
ing to increase from time to time
Suppose 1t got to be 80 per cent, as an
extravagant statement. then how In
the world can the few people in
Washington support the District of
Columbia If they only had 20 per cent
of the District? We only have so per
cent now Some years ago we had
10 per cent. Now, 1t Is constantly in
creasing, SO that the time will come
when 1t will be impossible for our citi-
Zens to support this Federal city. 1t
cannot be done. Senator.
Lose in Two Ways.
"And another thing, when the Fed
eral Government takes over this prop
erty most of our people move into
Maryland or Virginia. They cannot
be assessed. We lose that assessment
entirely. They do not reinvest in the
District, so we lose ii In two ways
we lose the Federal contribution, we
lose that taxation, and we lose them i;
so we are constantly losing all the
time.
Senator Tydings-If We went on a
thousand years. probably the whole
District of Columbia would be occu-
pied by Federal buildings. That is
your argument?
Commissioner Hazen-Yes: that Is
my argument. 1t would merely in
crease and increase; so, then. what
are you going to do? You have got to
do it all, then.
But I think another matter Is
this: I think every Senator and every
Congressman here wants to see this
the most beautiful city in the world.
Well, you cannot expect the few peo-
pie living here to make it the most
beautiful city in the world"
