Parsons free to negotiate directly

Parsons felt that his wife was in

$500, 100000 in nuisance taxes. His
statement came just as President
Roosevelt signed at the White
House the bill authorizing the tax
inquiry.

New Deal financial and gold poll
cies, Fish shouted:
81 am informed on reliable au-
thority that the president has de-
Quoted his income losses from his
Hyde Park estate in my district.
This is not farm but a palatial
estate. If you are going to inves-
tigate tax lodging, let's begin with
Mr.. Roosevelt"
With the speaker rapping and
shouting to Fish that his time had
expired. the congressman said
that if I've are going to investigate
income taxes, let us begin at the
top"
What is sauce for the goose is

Rep. Allen Treadway, r., Mass.
Chairman John j. O'Connor. D.,
N. Y, of the House Rules commit
tee, and Rep. Harold Knutson, r.,
Mimi, led the attack.
Fish told the house that If the
president was within bounds in
deducting his Hyde Park farm
losses, perhaps other deductions
were in order and it was up to
congress to "get the facts.

Mark Rose drew prolonged ap-
