Treasury draws up secret list of tax dodgers
Washington June 1 Treasury officials say they have compiled a secret list of wealthy individuals they contend dodged federal income taxes. Names will be handed to a congressional committee next week for an inquiry into tax evasion and avoidance. The panel will decide whether to publicly disclose cases and the individuals called for testimony. President Roosevelt signed the resolution approving the inquiry. The House also considers extending 3 cent postage and nuisance taxes that bring in over 500 million dollars yearly, with potential 80 to 90 million loss if postage drops to 2 cents.
