OFFICIALS DISAGREE "
OVER TAX PUBLICITY
Washington, D. C. The greatest
confusion seen in Washington for
many a day pervaded the treasury and
justice departments over whether in
come tax payment lists made public
by the new tax law Thny be openly
published.
Treasury officials were in sharp dis
agreement, heads of the department
contending that publication would en
tail criminal proceedings under Ihe
law, While lawyers of the internal rev
enue bureau took exactly the opposite
view.
After a meeting of the cabinet Tues
day, Attorney General Stone said a
general agreement had been reached
on the question of the legality or ille
gality of publication of income tax
returns, and indicated that such pub
lication was regarded an In violation
of law.
No statement was made after the
cabinet meeting. Stone limiting his

the members in general agreement

returns to he Illegal.
