QUIZ
DELAYED IN HOUSE
Resolution Goes to Commit
tee as Maverick Shouts
Protest at Tactics.
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
An objection by Representative
Maverick, Democrat. Of Texas blocked
today an attempt to obtain imme-
diate House consideration of an ad-
ministration resolution to create a
House Senate committee to investi-
gate tax evasions and avoidances.
I'm tired" he shouted. "of people
coming up here and giving me some
mysterious reasons why I should do
something. I want to know the real
reason"
Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee had sought a
unanimous agreement to bring the
measure before the chamber
The Senate approved it yesterday
soon after President Roosevelt asked
Congress to stop the evil practices"
of tax lodging by the wealthy.
Refer to Rules Committee.
The resolution now will be referred
to the Rules Committee, which must
approve it before it can come up on
the floor.
Chairman O'Connor of that COM
mittee announced to the House he,
too. would object to immediate con-
sideration of the resolution unless it
were amended.
Cha irman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee said wealthy men
and women referred to in the Presi-
dents message would be given an
opportunity to testify if their names
are disclosed by the Senate and House
investigators.
The measure which Maverick OBJ
jected to would provide for the ap-
pointment of six Senators and Repre-
sentatives to conduct the inquiry.
The Senate adopted the resolution
yesterday shortly after the Presidents S
recommendations for plugging gaps in
the tax laws were read. Once the
House acts and the committee or
sanizes, it can begin hearings as soon
as it issues subpoenas for witnesses
Justice Department Active.
Assailing wealthy citizens who seek
to invent devices to evade payment
of income taxes, Attorney General
Cummings today said the Justice De-
partment for some time has been
making special study of such
schemes.
While primary investigation Of tax
evasion is vested in the Treasury, he
said at a press conference, Justice
Department officials are cooperating
in an effort to plug up" loopholes in
the tax laws through which some tax
payers seek to escape proper pay
ments.
THE ingenuity Of people in seeking
to invent devices with which to frus-
trate the tax laws" Cummings de-
clared, lis being exercised all the time
in an effort to shift the burden Of
taxation to other taxpayers"
Big Names May Be Aired.
Meanwhile, many members of Con-
gress expressed certainty the inquiry
would bring out the names of wealthy
taxpayers described in the Presidents
message as having avoided or reduced
tax payments by such devices as in
cooperating racing stables, yachts
and country estates.
The inquiry will serve two pur-
poses-to focus public attention on
the extent Of alleged tax evasion and
to supply Congress with information
essential to the drafting Of corrective
| legislation.
