Patman Cites Gannett
In Antitax Lobby
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
Representative Patman, Demo-
crat, of Texas charged on the House
floor yesterday that "the most sor-
did and sinister lobby ever organ
lied" was trying to put limit on
the power of Congress to levy taxes,
and asserted the movement was
being led by two prominent Re-
publicans.
He named Frank Gannett, New
York State newspaper publisher
and Sam Pettingill, former Repre-
sentative from Indiana and for
mer treasurer of the Republican
National Committee.
Asserting that financing was be-
ing providedby wealthy persons who
want their taxes reduced, Represen-
tative Patman said: They are COL
lecting barrels of money"
Mr.. Patman made his accusation
during House debate on veterans
rehabilitation legislation, asserting
If this lobby is successful, we won't
be able to pay the veterans any
thing; there won't be any more
old age assistance"
Representative Fish, Republican,
OF New York challenged MIR. Pat
mans charges, saying there are no
two more loyal Americans than
Frank Gannett and Sam pettin-
gill"
Mr.. Patman asserted "the lobby
sought to slip through" a consti-
tutional amendment to take from
Congress the power to levy and tax
on income, gifts and estates highe,
than Is per cent. Taxes now run
up to 80 per cent of some high
brackets of income.
