WASHINGTON, June IT (API Secretary Morgenthau opened a con gressional Investigation Into tax dodgV.ig today by calling for the combined forces of remedial legisla tion snd publicity to be turned against those who evsde or avoid taxes. Morgenthau reviewed In his state ment devices of personsl holding companies, Incorporated yachts, in comes assigned to children and other methods which President Roosevelt described In a message to congress two weeks ago as being generally used by some wealthy persons for vadlrg or avoiding Income tax pay ments. The treasury secretary did not call any nBmes of accused tax-dodgers In his statement, as some persons had expected he would, but there were lndlcatlona such names would be made public later by Roswell Magill, treasury undersecretary. Attn today's hearing closed Magilt told reporters thst Elmer Irey, head of the International revenue bureau Intelligence unit, would be the first wltners tomorrow and would have with him a list of alleged tax-dodgers. Morgenthau said: "I am hopeful that the continued publicity which hearings of this sort give with respect to the gsme of tax avoidance may help to create an at mosphere In which men will hesitate to us these artificial devices to avoid the payment of taxes Just as today they heeitate to use such devices to escape the payment of private debt.

(AP) State department offlclala disclosed today that the United States haa asked the principal world naval pow ers If each would agree to limit the calibre of big guns on their battle ships to 14 Inches. This represented a new move on the part of this government to per. euade Japan to enter an International agreement of this character, which that country had previously categorl cslly refused to do. The disclosure came almost simul taneously with the opening of bids at tfte navy department for the con atructlon of one of two new battle ships for the American fleet. On Instructions from President Roosevelt, the navy high command haa withheld a decision on whether to equip these ships with 14 or 16 inch calibre rifles until Japan could make known her final stand on the niatter. Navy officers favor 19 Inch guns oi the new auper-dreadnaughta, but Secretary Swanson said today thla covemment was loath to begin Inter national rivalry In that calibre of weapons. He expressed a hope Japan would consent to the 14 Inch limit. Three shipbuilding companies of fered proposala on construction or the one new battleship to be built In a private yard. The bids ranged from t46.313.B00 to (50,800.000. ALTURAS SLAYER WILL TAKE STAND ALTURAS, Calif, Juns 17.
