Including a broadening of sections applying to the basis of valuation fpr assessment of ad valorem duties, were submitted to thehouse ways and means com mlttee today by Ogden Mills, un der-secretary of the treasury. Mr. Mills confined his recom mendations as Jo the valuation method to "an improvement of the present basis" of foreign valuation rather than the general substitu tion of American values or. some other alternative as has been pro posed o the committee. The weakness of the present system, he said, appeared to be net in section 402. of the act which directs- appraisement on United States value where foreign value .cannot be satisfactorily a certained, but in the reappralse ment proceedings which may re sult in determination of a value which cannot be properly verified by treasury ofTcilals. .
