By the Associated Press.
The Government settled today for
$668,02s a $4,000, 900 tax controversy
involving the estate OF the late An
drew W. Mellon, former Secretary of
the Treasury.
The settlements included Sass, 800
principal and 1892 interest figured
from 1881, the year in which Mr..
Mellon allegedly underpaid his income
taxes.
A ruling by the Board of Tax Ap-
peals had awarded the Government
s403,053. plus interest. and had ex-
onerated the Pittsburgh financier of
income tax fraud charges. Both
parties agreed today not to appeal
that decision
The controversy principally con-
cerned the method of taxing certain
sums received by Mr. Mellon in the
sale or liquidation of companies in
which he was interested. 1t involved
to lesser extent his gift of paintings
to his private educational and chari-
table trust
The paintings we're among those
which Mr.. Mellon later donated to the
Federal Government.
The tax litigation followed an un-
successful attempt by the Govern
ment to indict the financier for crimi-
nal fraud on his income tax return. A
Pittsburgh grand jury in 1884 declined
to indict.
A formal statemen of the Treasury
said:
The facts elected and the prece-
dents set in the Mellon case have been
OF great importance to the Internal
Revenue Bureau in the determination
of other cases. As result, deficiencies
have been asserted and collections
made in amounts much larger than
those involved in this case"
No figures were available on how
much money was involved in similar
cases. The capital gains tax. how
ever, has been changed since 1881 and
the decision does not necessarily affect
taxes for later years.
