DC. Pastor Insists
James Roosevelt
SET Bad Example
failure to List Church
Gifts in Tux Return
Held Object Lesson
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Rev. Howard Stone Ander.
son, pastor of the First Congrega.
tional Church here, said today that
unless James Roosevelt included his
church contributions in his income
tax returns. he would be considered
"a bad object lesson to the coun-
try"
"It is entirely legal for a man
to make these deductions and where
there is SUCH a lack of evidence
OF them as in his case. one can't
help but interpret it the way I
did, Mr.. Anderson said.
The tall, youthful-appearing min
lister, relying on published income
tax records of President Roose-
velts eldest son, told the House
Committee on un-American Activi-
ties yesterday that James appar-
ent failure to make church dona-
tions causes "loss in support" for
benevolent organizations.
And as we weaken our spiritual
institutions, we weaken America"
he added.
James Offers to Send Data.
James Roosevelt said in a state
ment at Holhster, Calf, that he
actually did make such contribu-
tions, but that usually he did not
claim deductions for them. He said
that If Mr.. Anderson was inter-
ested, he would be glad to inform
him of his donations.
Il accept this statement in good
faith" the minister said after learn
ing Of that comment. But I feel
that it is unfortunate that since
man can claim deductions and
didn't that he should lay himself
open to what he may feel is un-
justified criticism"
The clergyman appeared as the
first of series of witnesses, who,
Chairman Dies of the committee
said, had affirmative knowledge of
how to promote Americanism."
Quit Insurance Job in 1897.
Three months ago, a magazine
writer (Alva Johnston in the Satur-

James Roosevelt's income from his

$250.000 to 100000 a year. He
left bis Boston insurance firm in
1897 to become an assistant to his
father.
James Roosevelt then published
his income tax returns for 1888
through 1887 in another magazine
tCollier's). They listed income
ranging from s27,7l4 to s4e.le7 an
nually.
The Rev. Mr.. Anderson has been
pastor of the First Congrega tional
Church for two years, coming here
from Chicago.
James Roosevelt attended St.
Thomas Episcopal Church while
living in Washington. He is q
vestryman of st. James Episco-
