FIRST FAMILY
TAXES STILL.
FISH'S TARGET.
Secret Committee Session
Holds Roosevelt's
Returns Fair
FISH SEEKS INQUIRY
in OTHER RETURNS

WASHINGTON, July Q. CUP
Rep. Hamilton Fish today charged
before the congressional tax COM
mittee that Mrs. Franklin ID.
Roosevelt employed smart little
scheme" to avoid payment of taxes
on her radio income by paying 1t
directly to charity. He said her
contract calls for money to be
paid directly to the Friends Serv-
ice Society and thereby made 1t
possible to avoid the federal law
which limits income tax reductions
for charity purposes to 10 per cent
of total income.
He demanded that the commit
tee inquire into the income tax re-
turns of Secretary Of Treasury
Morgenthau, Harry Hopkins, John
L. Lewis and James and Elliott
Roosevelt.
President RooSevelt's income tax
returns were examined secretly by
members of the joint COMPRESSION
al investigating committee and
last night were pronounced "eml-
nently fair" by Rep. Allen Tread
way, r., Mass.
Treadway disclosed the incident
as the committee threw a tower
ing wall of secrecy about Presi-
dent Roosevelt's tax records but
il agreed to hear Rep. Fish, r.,
n. Y. defend his charge that other
members of the chief executives
private and official family had
used loopholes in revenue laws to
save money.
Several of the investigators, &C
cording to Treadway, received a
report on Mr.. Roosevelt's tax re-
turns. Said Treadway:
"In my opinion, the report
showed that the president made
eminently fair returns"
The decision to ban Mr.. Roose-
velt's tax returns were unanimous.
1t was reached at stormy meet
ing of the committee which is in
vestigating methods utilized by a
group of wealthy individuals to
avoid tax payments.

If YOU are beginner, start
right. Buy standard hives and all

of bees for each colony you want.
Feed a sugar syrup Of 2 parts
