WASHINGTON, June 20. There must have been aome good unex plained reasons why the Mitchell charges ere atei no more of an Immediate sensa tion and there were. Ordinarily, the retirement of au official of Ewing Mitchell's stand ing as assistant commerce secre t a r y and his charges in vol vine the friendship of the President with Messrs. Vin cent As tor snd P.UT MAIXON Kermlt Roosevelt would be enough to erect headlines three inches high. You would ex pect Republican congressmen to leap at the insinuation that the new deal era paid the Astor-Rooscvelt ship line a needless subsidy, especially because President Roosevelt has often been CTttlclsed for riding on the Astor yacht. One reason why responsible new deal oppositionists decided to look before leaping was that they knew a Republican senator (White or Maine) looked into the same subject some time ago and decided to pass It up. believing there was nothing In It; at least, nothing he could find. Also the word was passed around that Mr. Mitchell was an excitable person, and that it would be advis able to proceed cautiousiy. It Is equally remarkable that the Democrat failed to rush to the Presi dent's defense. Usually, when po litical defendants know a charge is groundless, they mnke a display of throwing it down. , The White House only yawned at this one. Friends of the President disdained to offer even any private comment, except regarding Mr. Mitch ell's haste In Jumping to conclusion. No one demanded to be vindicated. No one even proposed an official ex planation. The lack of reaction among new dealers to the convention of Repub lican "grass rooters" was also wholly In violation of the unwritten cus toms of politics. No one expected the White House to take any notice of the Republican gardeners, but you would think that some kind of pub licity effort would be made to offset it in the public mind. The only new deal official who .-.v.d anything about it at all was Postmaster-General Farley, who has never been shy about talking politics at any time. The mimeograph machine at Dem ocratic headquarters whirled not a Hp.

June 20. AP) The senate finance committee refused today to add any of President Roose velt's wealth tax proposals in approv ing the house resolution extending j $500,000,000 of nuisance and excise levies expiring June 30. Higher taxes on the wealthy were proposed yesterday by the president in a special message to congress. He asked this action to reduce large In comes and to prevent concentration of great wealth. Considerable difference of opinion existed as to whether he wanted the program passed this session. There was a clear Implication he wanted most of It enacted before adjourn ment, but some leading democrats privately opposed this. The senate committee voted to extend the nui sance taxes for one year instead of two voted by the house. Harrison Oppose Senator LaFollette. tP., Wis.), pro posed that an inheritance tax and higher surtax and corporation taxes be incorporated in the resolution, but Chairman Harrison announced the "sentiment" of the committee was that the proposal should go through without amendments. LaFollette said, however, he would renew his fight on the senate floor. It was indicated the committee Jority would oppose the amendments on the floor.
