Mitchell says Couzens may have files on Hill matter

Washington June AP Attorney General Mitchell says Senator Couzens would be welcome to any information at the justice department about the government’s failure to appeal the estate tax case of Mrs James J Hill. He stated he had no intention of being discourteous and that Couzens could have all the files. The department released a statement that no appeal should be taken, citing Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt’s recommendation and noting Mitchell had no part as solicitor general. The case involved about 1.38 million dollars with portions left to charity and to descendants, and reflected on a 1928 circuit court ruling against the government.
