TAX EVASION
INQUIRY HITS
FRESH SNAGS
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Administration demands for re-
la1ing the ban on income tax
publicity today threw new obsta-
cles into plans for creation OF a
Joint Senate.House committee to
investigate income tax evasion
by wealthy persons.
The issue, with Treasury De-
partment insistence upon a pro
vision under which the joint
committee could give Treasury
employees bland check" author
itv to assume duties of the Con.
eressional body blocked until
next week action in the House
on the resolution creating the
committee.
HarmoniZatiOn Sought
First conferences among House
leaders having failed to produce
an agreement, further efforts we're
made today to harmonic differ
ences between the powerful Rules
Committee, leaders on the Ways
and Means Committee and the
Administration.
Treasury officials, it was stated,
demanded that the House restore
a section eliminated by the Rules
Committee. This section gave the
Joint committee authority to dele
gate to Treasury employees the
power to hold hearings, subpoena
witnesses and make public names
of persons involved in the tax IN.
curry, with their income tax re-
turns.
Chairman Doughton CD Of
North Carolina, of the Ways and
Means Committee. demanded res
toration of another provision,
eliminated by the Rules Commit
tee, which deprived the joint COM
mittee or its agents OF simply
making public income tax returns
of persons involved in the investi'
cation.
Considers Reversal
Chairman O'Connor CD of
New York, of the rules committee,
which unanimously voted against
the publicity and BLANK check"
provisions, called his committee
into session to consider reversal
Of its position.
Under the resolution, even as
amended by the rules committee,
the Joint committee could submit
a report to Congress including the
names and tax returns of alleged
wealthy tax avoiders, O'connor
said. The change, however, would
prohibit Wholesale publicity Of
tax returns after secret sessions
had been held by the committee
of Treasury agents.

nightly closing statements of
two candidates for Republican

The third candidate, FuSionist
Mayor Fiorcllo II. LaGuardia,
who seeks Republican nominal

his refusal in his only campaign

Senator Royal S. Copeland, a
Democrat. and the only Tammany
