It stipulated he said, that after each of ten pro grams the sponsors (the Shelby Arch Preserver Shoe company waa to pay $3000 to the American friends service committee, Philadelphia. "If ahe can avail herself of loophole." Fish said, "then anybody else In America can do the same thing." Pish said also he believed the com mittee should call for the Income tax returns of James Roosevelt, eldest son of the president; Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettlger. the president's daughter; Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury, and his father. Henry Morgenthau. Sr.; Harry L. Hopkins, works progress administrator, and John L Lewis, chairman of the com mittee for Industrial organization. $1 for Radio Talks. The contract, as read by Pish, provided that Mrs. Roosevelt waa to receive a consideration of $1 only for talks on "Women Today." (At a recent press conference, Mrs. Roosevelt denied she had dodged any taxes. "On every penny of In come which I "received." she said, "I have paid my tax.") (President Roosevelt, questioned at his press conference today, about j Fish's charges, said he did not wish to discuss them at this time.) ! Myles F. lasker. who also signed the contract, pish said, was to re ceive $1000 as commission on each broadcast and $400 was to go to Mrs. Nancy Cook. He did not Iden tify the latter. "I submit," Fish asserted loudly, j "that the contract I read to you for broad casta by the wife of the presl- dent was money she earned as much as money ever was earned by any body. "She directed where It would E and controlled that money." Went to Charity. He said the $3000 for each broad cast was for charitable distribution, as directed by Mrs. Roosevelt. Re ven ue la w per m I ts ded uc I Ions from Income for charitable contri butions up to 15 ' per cent of In come. Fish led up to his remarks about Mrs. Roosevelt by asserting that he had not the "slightest degree or 111 will personally against the president, or secretary of the treasury (Henry Morgenthau. Jr.)" But the president, he said. Issued a statement to congress in the last month In which he said tax loop holes are of recent date and "then went on to Indict all who use loop holes as unethical. Immoral and in decent." The statement, he added, was "practically Joined In by the secre tary of the treasury." The New York congressman said he had no Intention of making any charges against the president, or of asking for his tax returns. He planned only, as regarded the president, he said, to file a copy of a statement he claimed the chlel executive made In which. Pis con tended, Mr. Roosevelt admitted tak ing advantage of tax law loopholes. LYONS 70-Pro of TN Real tloe berry flavor... a frult-y, distinctive tang. Be sure to ask for LYONS!
