ON INCOME TAX
Estate Agrees to
Pay $66S,OOO

G.N.S.) A settlement of the
long-standing tax dispute between
the Federal Government and the
estate of late Andrew w. Mellon,
former Secretary Of the Treasury,
was effected today when the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau agreed to
accept $668, 900.
The agreement between the
estate and the Government pro-
vides that no further appeal will
be taken by either to the courts.
INTEREST ADDED
The settlement represents $485..
809. .49 claimed by the Government
as tax deficiencies on 1881 income
and $182,22O interest.
Early this year the Board of Tax
Appeals ruled Mellon had under
paid his income taxes by $4O3.-
05S.85 in 1881 but refused to up
hold the governments contention
that the late secretary and one
time ambassador to Great Britain
had been guilty OF fraud.
The government had intended
to appeal the Board Of Tax
Appeals decision since it had orig.
inally sought collection of more
than 100000 in tax deficiencies
and penalties.
ESTATE YIELDS
while the government had
under consideration the appeal
of this decision representatives
of the estate of the taxpayer
conceded the principal question
of law that would have been in
volved in such an appeal" the
bureau said.

PRAGUE, June 81 G.N.SO.-No
pogrom in modern history has
taken place to compare with the
driving of the Jews from Austria
since the Nazis took power there.
Today the Nazi authorities have
decreed that Burgenland, border
ing Hungary and Czechoslovakia,
must be "Juden-Frei," free Of
Jews, by the middle of June.
This means that around 5000
Jews, deprived of their passports
and of all their possessions, must
somehow slip illegally over the
border, or else be showed over by
the s. S. (Nazi picked guards)
into countries which will expel
them by the same means. They
have no legal or material basis
of existence. They are doomed.
AFRAID TO TALK
Few outsiders have the oppor.

this decree in the provincial towns
and villages of Austria. Nor will

cial closely connected with the
case, who added that yesterdays
indictments naming 1S persons,
two of them women, were "just a
good start"
MANY OTHERS INVOLVED
''There are many others In

"Some of these are American
citizens who assisted the ring
and others are persons whose
names have figured prominently
from the start. AS soon as the
investigation is complete, a
much more detailed picture will

1t was further predicted that
among the indictments expected
when the grand jury resumes its
hearings will be the names of one
or more Germans with official or
semi-official connections with the
Nazi regime.
One of these, it was said, win be
a German resident of New York
whose social position and reputa-
ton are much higher than those
of the fugitive, DR.. Ignatz T.

Benson Trailing In
Governor Race

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 21
N.SD.-Hjalmar Peterson, cam
paigning without Endorsement of
the Farmer-Labor party. forged
ahead Of Gov. Elmer A. Benson
today in Minnesota's primary
gubernatorial race.
Returns from 1,548 of the States
3,739 precincts gave Peterson
103. 3.224 votes against 99,687 for
Governor Benson.
Political observers said indica-
tions were that the governor, an
active supporter Of President
Roosevelt ana indorsed by the
State FarmerLabor convention,
would be defeated by at least
1000 votes.
STRIKE AT BENSON
They declared there was evi.
dence Of a heavy swing Of Re-
publicans and Democrats to the
Farmer.Labor column, appar.
emily in an effort to defeat Gov.
ernor Benson. The Republican
vote, incomplete figures showed.
would be the smallest in years
while the Democratic vote was
considered almost negligible.
The Tarmer-Labor party oddly
enough put over the consolidated
primary ballot in the 1888 legisla-
ture, which now appears to be
working against them. The idea
behind the move was to put the
Farmer.Laborites then at the
height of their power, in position
to get the votes on the Republican
or Democratic ticket.
CUSTER ASSAILED
The governor is reputed to have
the blessing of the National Ad-
miniStration. His demand for the
custer Of Victor Christgau. State
WPA administrator, recently was
denounced by Peterson as a politi-
cal trick, and he lambasted the
Farmer.Labor State machine as "a
bunch Of racketeers."
His heated attacks on Governor
Benson was taken in some quar-
ters as inferential opposition to
President Roosevelt.
