You did from me 100 per cent." Mills shouted, shaking his fist at Ralney. "I endorsed the bill your committee reported out in a radio broadcast." Says Figures Off Ralney said the treasury had made miscalculations In the anticipated deficits in the past three years and added that In the formulation of the tax bill last year "you. the secretary of the treasury, admitted you were wrong by $400,000,000 tn balancing the budget and you did not know how much the deficit would be until you got outside help." "Now I think we ought to set the record straight," Mills replied. "The figures we submitted to you were on the basis of September estimates and I then said they were tentative and that subsequently I would submit re vised figures." Referring to a visit Bernard M. Baruch made to Washington during the formulation of the tax legislation, Ralney said that Mills suggested this "outside help" be called In. "It was never made at my sugges tion," Mills said. "They made no contribution. I never agreed with their figures, they agreed with ours." Mills Pou ni Table Mills raised his voice and pounded the table during bis exchange with Ralney. Ralney Insisted that Mills had been short In his estimate last year that the deficit would be $020,000,000 and added: "Now let's be truthful about this. Even the secretary of the treasury ought to be truthful." Standing on his toes and flushed, Mills waved his arms and shouted: "As long as my veracity Is chal lenged X would like the record. Clerk, get me the record." A committee clerk left the room and produced a copy of the hearings before the committee last January and read a section In which Mills said bis figures were tentative. The purpose of my questioning is to show you that your suggestions have not been of the slightest value," Ralney said. Recommendations Fall "The committee adopted your rec ommendations and they have failed to produce by 60 per cent." Ralney Insisted. "I recommended the sales tax In March." Mills shouted again. "No man on this committee heard you." Ralney replied. I don't know what more a secre tary of the treasury can do than to make an announcement that he sup ported the sales tax 100 per cent and then made a talk over a natlon-wtde hookup supporting it." Doughton (D., N. C.) asked again If Bernard Baruch had not presented estimates of revenue to the treasury last year. "I'll give you the facts." Mills told him vehemently. "I don't know what you are talktng about when you men- tlnn Baruch and his estimates. Let me tell you that the only estimates you ever had came from the treasury. Estimates Always Bad "The estimates were bad. I admit that. If you want to take the sponslblltty off my shoulders and put them on Baruch, very well, but I have told you the truth." ' I m glad you admit they were bad." Ralney broke In." "Your esti mates have always been bad." Treadway ( R., Mass.) protested against Ralney's questions and said that was no way "to address the secretary of the treasury." "I dont know what this Is all about," Mills said. "Maybe this furore Is to set up an alibi for not balancing the budget, I don't know.1 r ruuHDiuimiL RE-WRITE BOOKS TO SING CAROLS Tomorrow evening at 7:15 o'clock children from the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades of the Medford schools will present a program of Christmas carols In the senior high school auditorium, according to an nouncement by Miss Harriet Bald win, director muslo in the schools.
