BANK MUST GIVE
MELLON RECORDS
Federal Judge UphoIds Gov
ernment'S Subpoena
in Tax Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, January Fed
eral Judge Robert E. Gibson today
upheld the Governments subpoena
in the long drawn out Andrew W..
Mellon income tax case for the rec
ords of the $500, 900. 900 Union Trust
Co, a Mellon interest.
The bank declined at hearing by
the Board of Tax Appeals several
months ago to turn over its records,
contending the subpoena amounted to
unconstitutional search and seizure.
The Government has maintained
they are necessary to continue its case
to collect nearly $4,000. 900 in income
taxes and penalties from the former
Secretary Of the Treasury for the
year 1881.
Robert E. Jackson, chief Govern
ment counsel, Gained the records
would show transactions by which
Mellon sought to evade the tax laws.
Refused Boards Demand.
The records originally were sub
poenaed by the Government while the
board was holding hearing in the
case in Washington. The tax board
upheld the subpoena, but counsel for
Union Trust declined to comply. and
jackson took the case to Federal court.
An appeal may be taken by Union
Trust.
Among the records sought by the
Government we're those dealing with
alleged sales of stock between Mellon
and the bank.
The Government claimed, in one
instance, Union Trust bought $4,000
shares of Pittsburgh Coal Co. pre-
ferred stock from Mellon, and at
tackled "the alleged change in form
Of the transaction in 1929 from an
apparent purchase to the form OF
an obligation"
Records of alleged purchases Of Sc
curities by the bank from Paul Mellon
a son. and by holding firms of the Mel
lon family from the bank also were
sought by the Government. Still other
records Attorney Jackson wished to
scrutinize dealt with alleged transfers
between Union Trust and w. L. Mel
Ion. nephew of A. w. and head Of the
Gulf Oil Corp.
Refuses One Demand.
Judge Gibson refused only one OF
the 18 demands involved in the Gov
ernment's petition. This asked for
"all minutes of meetings of the board
of directors of the Union Trust Co. OF
Pittsburgh held during the years 1881
and 1882" The decision said:
Lacking specification as it does
the paragraph is violative of the rights
of the Union Trust Co. ."
Judge Gibson said six other de-
mands seem something more than
questionable" He ruled:
"A stretch Of the imagination is
required to induce belief the va
rious papers mentioned in these para
graphs may become evidence in the
case. Nevertheless, It Is not beyond
the realm Of possibility that other sup
porting evidence might render them
admissible"
He ordered the bank to comply, rul-
ing production of the records does not
necessarily" violate its constitutional
rights.

Prime consideration will be given to
the bonus by the House Ways and

this proposal would cost $4,000, 900,
which is in excess of the cost estimated
for the vetoed Patman plan.

confident he would not accept the
