Mid-America Corporations
Relations to Railroad
Explained to |. c. c.

A mass of evidence taken in hear
ings on the corporate relationship OF
Mid America Corp. top Van Swerin-
gen holding company, was under con-
sideration today by c. E. Boles, assist
ant Interstate Commerce Commission
finance director.
The hearings ended yesterday after
o. P. Van SWeringen, president of
Mid-America, had outlined steps lead
ing to the company's formation and
had explained its relationship with
railroad operating companies.
Before Boles also is testimony given
in the hearings by George A. Tomlin-
son, Mid-America director, in sup
port of his application for permission
to serve as a director of the Fort
Worth Belt Railway.
Already a director in more than a
score of Van Sweringen companies.
Tomlinson's application to serve on
the Fort Worth Belt was made the
basis of the I. C. c. study of Mid
America.
Boles' findings regarding the hold
ing company probably will be con-
tanned in his report on Tomlinson's
application. 1t is expected to be sew
eral weeks before Boles reports.
Mid-America was forme by o. P.
and his late brother, M. j. Van Swerin-
gen, to recapture control of their vast

banks of stock in the Allegheny Corp,
former top Van Sweringen holding
company, and other securities brought
control back to the brothers.
Van Sweringen introduced a letter
from Tomlinson and G. A. Ball,

ing to invest s2,015,O00 in a new cor
poration which would bid on the
securities.
Addressed to both Van Sweringens

ter said:

posed sale in New York of certain Sc

COTTON RELIEVED
OF TAX PAY BAN
Revenue Bureau Explains
Status Following Re-
peal Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Officials of the A. A. A. cotton sec
ton said today they had been in
formed by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau that cotton, on which there was
q tax lien as a result of the Bank
head act, can be sold freely without
payment of the tax.
This development followed an as
sertion by Representative Chandler,
Democrat, of Tennessee, in a message
to the Memphis Cotton Exchange, that
Congress intended to cancel the tax
and lien when it repealed the Bank
head law and that he would introduce
clarifying resolution If the Treasury
did not concur in his Interpretation.
Ia Feature Repealed.
A spokesman for the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau told reporters that taxes
which became due under the Bank
head act and were never paid are still
due. He said, however, that Congress
had repealed the provision that cot
ton could not be sold, transported or
opened unless 1t had tag showing
it was tax-paid or entitled to tax ex-
emption. This will permit the cotton
to be sold freely without payment
of the tax.
The Internal Revenue official said
he did not know whether the Govern
ment would seek to collect these past
due levies He expressed belief that
Congress should decide that question.

Fletcher. "If there are any defects in
the New Deal we are going to turn the

Fletcher was asked if there would be
cooperation between the American
Liberty League and the Republicans.
The Republican National Commit
tee," he replied, will confine itself tc
its usual activities. There will be nc
combinations of Offices or activities

any other organization. But. the help
of any God-fearing citizen will be well

Commenting on the fact that Arthur
]. Curtis, the new Republican national
committeeman from Missouri, is to
come to the Washington headquarters
Fletcher said he expected Curtis to be
able to render valuable service.
Curtis to Draft Briefs.
Fletcher said Curtis, a lawyer, will
prepare briefs for the National Com
mittee and the Credentials Commit
tee at the national convention in con-
test cases.
rs Mr.. Curtis coming here to take
the place of John Hamilton of Kan
sas, and is Mr.. Hamilton going to run
the pre-convention campaign for Gov.
Landon's nomination for President?"
Fletcher was asked.
"Mr. Hamilton will have to answer
that question himself" Fletcher said.
Il shall be very happy to have Mr..
Hamilton stay at headquarters. If
he thinks it is his duty to resign to
run Gov. Landon's campaign, that is
up to him. I have endeavored to keep
the national headquarters free OF bias
for or against any candidate for the
presidential nomination and that has
been done"
Due Back Next Week.
Hamilton, who is in the South, Is
expected to return to Washington
Monday or Tuesday. Curtis is coming
here about March /. The general
impression is that Hamilton will
leave headquarters to help run tne
Landon campaign and that Curtis
has been called here to take his place
as assistant to Chairman Fletcher.
Hamilton is general counsel of the
Republican National Committee as
well as national committeeman from
Kansas. If he was to remain here
the work of preparing briefs would be
performed by him.
Chairman Fletcher was asked If
the Republicans proposed to raise
S10,000,000 campaign fund.
1T will be as big as we can get, y
ne replied with a smile. mo matter
how large, our campaign fund will
not be as big as those fellows will
have" he added, referring to the
Democrats.
Fletcher said he had paid off the
deficit of the National Committee
and had enough money on hand to
pay all commitments up to the date
of the national convention. which

ment should establish an airport on
another site, I'VE would find ourselves
in a position of having forced a pri-
vate corporation to purchase Federal
land for which they have no use" On
the other hand, if the Government
should establish an airport on the
present site, the Government would
find itself in the position Of having
to buy back land which it had given
away. he said
Ingell declared he would fight the
proposed payment to Arlington County
with every power at his command.
Il can't see where Arlington Coun-
ty comes into the picture at all" he
told the committee. 1T appears to me
to be very plainly a hold-up scheme
to obtain $50, 900 for Arlington County
in connection with the sale of Govern
ment property to which it has no
claim. Arlington County had nothing
to do with construction Of the road,
and If the Government wants to close
it, it should be able to do so without
consulting Arlington County.
THE situation has become intol-
cradle, and we are risking the lives
and safety of thousands of people. The
new 24-passenger airplanes now being
constructed for the airlines cannot
come into Washington while Military
road remains open. I think Congress
should do everything it can to aid the
present airport"
In reply to the attacks on Airing
ton County, Representative Smith OF
Virginia, who yesterday introduced a
bill which would have required the
airport to pay $4,000 to the county,
withdrew any claim on the part OF
his constituents.
so far as We are concerned, We
don't want the S50000. We will be
satisfied if the lights and guards are
maintained We feel. however, that
the Government should take care of
the travelling public on the ground
as well as In the air." he said.
Chairman McSwain called before the
COIIlulltlec OdIlucl u. OOlOHlOll. Adu-
ager of Washington Airport, and asked
whether he has communicated with the
Secretary of War with regard to main
tanning Military road lights and guards
Solomon replied that at the request OF
Chairman McSwain he asked the Sec
retary of War, in message delivered
personally at the War Department this
morning. for permission to maintain
guards and lights for the temporary
period of 10 days or more. If the Sec
retary of War objected to the private
guards now maintained by the airport,
the airport corporation will pay the
War Department for any guard service
the Secretary of War may choose to
establish, Solomon said.
Chairman McSwain then announced
that he had received from the Secre-
tary of War this morning a letter say
ing that he would take no further steps
to force removal of the present lights
and guards.
Solomon told the committee that his
present guard service is costing about
$500 a month.
