ADVANCE TAX RULE
CHANGE IS FAVORED
House Group Would Force Reve.
nue. Bureau to Stand by
Opinions. a..
By the Associated Press.

- t-'e noeONAhtco icss.
A proposal to make the Internal
Revenue Bureau stand by its advance
opinion on the tax liabilities received
the tentative approval Of a House Tax
subcommittee yesterday.
The bureau makes declaratory rul-
lngs for taxpayers who wish to find out
approximately the amount Of taxes
they would have to pay if they signed
certain contracts or carried out other
transactions. The bureau can reverse
or modify such rulings, however, and
sometimes has done so.
Representative Vinson of Kentucky,
chairman of the subcommittee, said
legislation to make the opinions bind
Ing would obviate "a lot Of litigation,
ard the Government would get its
money more quickly"
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt once OBJ
tanned an advanced opinion regarding
her contract for series of radio talks.
After each of her broadcasts, $4,000
was paid by her sponsor to a Phila-
deIphla charitable institution. The
bureau advised her she would have to
pay no taxes, since the arrangement
produced no profits for her.
Representative Vinson said the late
Senator Couzens of Michigan once had
oeen told how much taxes he would
nave to pay, only to be sued for more
money years afterward. He said the
courts had upheld Couzens' contention
that ne had paid the Government all

Lives of 8,700 Federal En-.

dangered Daily.

Exemption Of Government buildings
IN Washington from the District
building code, Fire Department OIL
c'als said today, was chiefly to blame
for existing fire hazards endangerins
the lives Of thousands of Federal en-
ployes.
They are fully aware Of all the con-
ditions cited in the report of the Fed
eral Fire Council, but indicated there
was little they could do about correct
ing conditions. This report disclosed
that only 80 out of $40 Government
buildings here have good exits" and
that the lives of s,7Oo Federal en-
ployes are endangered daily because
Of fire hazard.
District officials pointed out that the
Fire Department can be given juris-
diction over Government buildings
only by an act of Congress" They
did not believe that various depart
mental heads would surrender jurts-
diction in this respect to the District
government.
Fire Chiefs Comment.
Only Fire Chief Charles E. Schron
would comment openly on the situa-
ton. He said: There will continue
TO be a definite danger as long as the
Government can get by with storing
| documents, records and supplies with
out regard to fire regulations"
Calvin G. LAUDER, District fire mar.
| shal, who investigates all local fires.
is member OF the Federal Fire Coun-
Gil. He has succeeded in bringing
many hazards to the attention Of
Government officials while some of
the newer buildings have been under
construction.
Local officials said the New Interior
Department Building probably repre-
sents the greatest advance made by the
Government in Washington against
unnecessary fire hazards.
| Reason for Alleged Laxity.
The types Of monumental buildings
which the Government and It's archi-
tects seem to prefer for Washington
was blamed in large measure for the
few rigid precautions taken against
| fire.
Most Of the rented buildings occu-
pied by new governmental agencies,
especially the emergency agencies.
were declared by local officials as
wholly UNFIT to house hundreds OF en-
ployes.
