WASHINGTON, March 9. Pub
lic t disclosure ' of the testimony ' in
the senate internal revenue bu
reau investigation today led. to
charges, counter, charges and a
series of statements , emanating
both from the capitol and the
treasury!; ;
Chairman Couzena of the inves
tigating committee declared in the
senate that because he had 'per-
sisted in endeavoring to eliminate
ruuenoKsa m govemmeni : aepari
mentB, treasury officials have at
tempted to 'discipline himr by re
opening his 1919 income taxes and
assessing against him an addition
al 10 to 11 millions of dollars of
taxes." ..."
Written Notice Given ;
. - The senator said Internal Reve
nue Commissioner Blair had" per
sonally presented to him a written
notice that the treasury intended
to re-examine the facts with re
spect to the tax he had paid on
his sale to Henry Ford of his mi
nority holdings in the Ford Motor
company, although the tax had
been paid on the basis fixed by
the treasury during the Wilson ad
ministration and the matter bad
been closed, for
three or tour
years. - , -;-
Since -the period in wnfch action
may be taken under the statute
of limitation expires next Friday,
the senator was asked to sign 4
waiver of limitation, but he an
nounced he had declined to do so.
Secretary Mellon subsequently an
nounced that unless this waiver
was signed before Friday, "it will
probably be necessary to make an
arbitrary assessment," which will
serve to hold open the case.
To Investigate Case
The only question between the
treasury and Senator Couzens
with respect to his 1919 tax," the
secretary said, "is whether the
proper amount of tax has been
collected. If the valuation used
in determining his tax is proper.
investigation will undoubtedly so
disclose. If there is a tax due the
United States, it should be col
lected." ' 'v--'": ...
: Accompanying the formal notice
from Commissioner Blair was a
memorandum, the source of which
Senator Couzens said the commis
sioner had refused to disclose. He
added that aparently it had been
prepared In the treasury and call
ed attention that he was the only
minority stockholder in the Ford
company to whom reference was
made in the' document. I -
'Secretary Mellon, in his state
ment, said the memorandum had
been received by mail last week
from a "responsible person" whose
identity was not disclosed, and
added that waivers already had
been obtained in the case from
the other minority stockholders.

The state meeting or the Ore

lem March 10 brings to public at
tention the wonderful growth and
development of this business - in
the past few years. ;
Bottled carbonated - beverages
are no longer considered merely
as pleasing confections. Scientific
.research has demonstrated that
.these drinks have a health value
of high degree ' and that: every
glass is an investment in better
health. Physicians and hospitals
are prescribing, them for their pa
tients. Scientific research has al
so discovered better methods of
charging these drinks and largely
increasing their health giving
properties.
Many eminent scientists, both in
America and Europe," have' added
their testimony as to the-benefi
cial effects the dally , use of car
bonated drinks have on the health.
They assist -digestion, facilitate secretions-
and- excretions from, the
body and Invigorate the whole hu
man system, exerting an especial
ly beneficial Influence on the-cen
