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.
Re struck repeatedly at rich tax
payers who, hi; aald. employed "ex
pensive attorneys to avoid taxes."

JAPAN DECLINES
F.D.R. PROPOSAL TO
WASHINGTON. June 17. (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.
