"WASHINGTON, . March lfl. Only
one man has ever successfully evaded
ferocious congressional investigators.
The laurel goes
to Treasury Sec
retary Morgen
thau. - ,
It ts not yet
clear why. but
the revenue di
rector of the new
deal has tenac
iously neglected
to appear before
the house ways
and means com
mittee on the
tax bill. He la
Paul Mallon -the first treas
ury secretary in history who has fail
ed to testify about an administra
tion tax program.
The official excuse Is that he 'has
been suffering from la grippe. Some
of hla pals aay be call It "La Belle
grippe." It appears to be a peculiar
kind which fluctuates widely from
hour to hour. For Instance, the other
morning an announcement was Is
sued by the treasury calling off his
press conference. But two hours later
hie announcer advised a few friendly
newsmen to drop In at the accustom
ed press conference hour, for a tete-a-tete
press conference. Later that
day he Intended to leave for Sea
Island, Georgia. In the midst of the
congressional tax dispute, to fight
hts fluctuating grippe with a rod
and reel.
Note The secretary' eluslveneas
has given rise to erroneous rumors
that he is against the presidential
tax program. He la very strong for
It. What seems to have generated
that weak, feeling In his cheat is the
prospect that a congressional ap-
""pearanca would permit Republicans to
go after him hard. c aoee no en
Joy political debates.
House writers of the bill haw been
equally evasive. They are doing all
they can to avoid publicity.
At one time members of the sub
committee suddenly stopped giving
out information about what they
were doing. They aald that Chair
man Doughton had Issued Ins true-,
tlons to that effect.
Newsmen went after Doughton. He
denied giving such an order. But
even thla his sub-committee members
declined to believe It, and continued
to keep allent. It wm not until
tiewamen forced Doughton to reiter
ate his denial In the presence of two
ub-oommlttee members -that they
loosened up a little, but not much.
The significant thing behind all
this seems to toe that they would all
like to pass the tax bill without any
one finding out about It. That being
Impossible, they ere -agreed on the
trategy of attracting as little pub
tic attention to it as possible. That
explains why the subject thus far
Una aroused so little interest. This
la a campaign year.
Even the frozen faces of supreme
eourt Justices cracked the other day.

PORTLAND, Ore March 10. (AP)
Three Judges attttny en bano made
pexdmnent-:: today a- temporary ' tow
Junction against enforcement of an
order of Charles M. Thomas, former
utilities commissioner, reducing ex
change telephone rates In Oregon be
tween 8 and 0 per cent.
The Judges, .Robert Tucker and
Rail 6. Luck of the Multnomah coun
ty circuit court, and James T. Brand
of Coos county, were unanimous In
presenting a 93-page opinion.
Their order came after a hearing
recently upon the application of the
Pacific Telephone 5s Telegraph Co. for
an injunction against the former
commissioner's order, which waa made
effective on November 1, 1934,
The company contended that the
rates prescribed by Thomas were con
fiscatory to fair play and violated the
constitution's guaranty against taking
of property without due process of
law. '
Although Thomas made the order
effective mors than two years ago,
the actual revision never took place
and telephone subscribers continued
to pay on the basis of prior rates.
'While setting aside the rate order,
the Judges sustained Thomas on the
amount of depreciation expense which
the company might charge 'Ui 1933.
Thomas set a rate of 3.996 per cent
on depreciable fixed capital for fu
ture years. The company sought a
rate of 4.6 per cent.
A ruling adverse to the company
would have cost It about 600,000 In
rate refunds, experts estimated.
