activities were necessarily more
restricted. They are important
as tax-dOdging devices only for
the very rich. Not only do they
lock absurd when applied to the
small taxpayer but they are also
too expensive to be useful un-
less large sums are involved"
AS the hearing opened in the
Ways and Means COMMITTEES room
more than fifty reporters were
present. The spectators included
many tax lawyers and Congress
men.
Chance to Reply
Chairman Dougl1ton announced
it is the purpose of the investigat'
ing committee to stop tax dodg
ing. He said honest taxpayers
will be spared publicity. All per.
sons whose names are made public
will be given an opportunity to
make a defense, he said.
Morgenthau estimated t h at
within the last two years SOS for.
eign corporations have been
formed which probably represent
business interests in the United
States. He said:
1--WE do not know how many
have been used for tax avoid
ance purposes but we do know
that some have been SO used.
We believer, however, that the
use Of this device Is spreading"
ASKS REMEDY
Morgenthau emphasized that
the use of the multiple person
atty" by the taxpayer has now
reached the stage where Congress
should consider corrective legisla-
ton.
Morgenthau enumerated ways
in which tax avoidance practices
have q severely detrimental effect
on Government revenues. He said:
"They create the belief that
rich men with expensive attOr.
neys do not have to pay taxes.
There is just enough truth in
this to have far.reaching c0nse-
quenceS on the morale of hum
dreds Of taxpayers. No one can
possibly calculate how many
petty evasiOns which can never
be detected among six million
returns are due to the belief
that cleverness rather than
fairness il n proper criterion
Of the taxpayer.
"In the highly competitive
situation which exists among ex-
pert tax attorneys, plausible de-
vices spread rapidly and tax
evasi0ns and avoidance increase
without anyone realizing the ex.
tent Of the impairment of tax
administration until the end of
the taxable year.
"ThOSe tax devices which de-
feat the intent Of Congress cost
the Government huge sums
which Congress never actually
T, intended TO give away. Moreover,
they create continual and ex-
pensive litigation. No collecting
agency can operate effectively II
it is hampered at every turn by
law suits.

Recommends Changes
Magill made definite recon
mendations for change in the Law
to bring more taxes into the Treas
ury. These included:

FAVORS PUBLICITY
Increase the 10 per cent tax
applied to nonresident aliens
with large American incomes.
The 10 per cent rate was put
into effect last year. He said
that foreigners are prOfiting by
the law.
Magill declared:
"The detailed publicity which
will be given to the various types
of tax avoidance which we are
going to present to You during
the course Of this hearing is
one Of the most important wea-
pOns In our struggle to admin.
lister the tax laws fairly and ef-
ficiently.
"The real effects of publicity
will be obtained from the fact
that many Of the tax avoidance
devices are inherently ridicu.
lOus, and the public will realize
this when they are fully pre-
Eented."
Magill said the example Of 9

whether 1t will be used again.
Some Offer to Settle
He said the Bahamas insurance
company had only six policyhold

made public later. Asked if these
were guilty Of fraud he said:
'"That is something we have
not been able to determine, but
all six have offered to settle on

How is Rick Ferren?" somebody
asked. rs he hurt much?"
Hes In the little room with
an ice pack on" supplied
Bucky. Let's 80 and see."
Rick was lying on the rubbing table
with ice on his arm, where NeUsom
had pinked him in the eighth inning.
Buck broke Ray HayWorths arm the
same way, but Rick said he was all
right.
L don't mind it much when We
Wln,' said Rick especially when We
win a game like that from Boston" !"
He looked up at Melo Almada, the
young Mexican who came from the
Sox with the Ferrells. The young
ster got a big hit In that eighth, a
double that drove across the sixth
and last run.
In all, it was big day for the
EXPLOSIONS. They thoroughly enjoyed
it-Almada and the two Ferrells.
No Fun for Cascarella.
THE banter still was going strong
when boy entered with a message
for Harris. BY the way. Wes,' said
Buckley, opening the message with
out looking, that was bad pitch
you made to Newsom when he
doubled"
Yeah" agreed Wes. 1T was
one Of those spinners that Just
hung over the plate. The air
Was kinda thick and heavy for
those things today
Harris looked down at the message
and called Frankie Baxter, boss Of
the clubhouse. Tell Joe Cascarella
that Grin wants to see him." he said,
It developed that Cascarella had
just left. It probably was Just as
well. Joe would have sensed what
Grin was going to say. And in
hilarious setting like the club house
it wouldn't add pleasantly to the SEN
sation that goes with getting a pink
slip.
Joe was one ex-Red Sox who

Almada went out Lewis singled him
to third, from where he scored on
kuhel's ny. This made it 4-3.
In the eighth 1t was Travis who
started all the fuss After Sington had
whifed, Cecil hit his second triple.
Myer then walked and Rick Ferrell
was hit by q pitched ball, filing the
bases with only one out.
Luck-tinged WAS the big hit of this
inning. In trying to dodge a pitch
Yves Ferrell's bat struck 4 fast ball
and looped it over second base for 4
single, scoring Travis and Myer and
putting Jess Hill. who ran for Rick
Ferrell, on third base. Melo Almada
sent Jess over the plate q moment
later with timely double to left field
and. presto, the score was 6-4.

crowd he never can do it."
Wes was asked about that
handshaking business. When
Newsom doubled to open the
fifth inning Wes went over and
gripped paws with Buck.
"Aw, that was his idea," explained
Ferrell. Before the game Newsom
proposed that the first guy to get a
hit OF the other had to have his hand
shaken. 1t was a lousy idea but,
then, I was lousy at the plate. III

Ossie Bluege was combing his hair.
