Indictments Expected Over Tax Return Publication Rules
Washington D C Nov 19 Indictments are anticipated this week or early next week in several cases testing the right of newspapers to publish income tax returns under the 1924 revenue act. Attorney General Stone has directed grand jury proceedings in six or seven cases from across the country. The department will oversee the ARSES and push for quick ruling to clarify conflicting provisions. Congress may act before cases reach the Supreme Court, while another case before the court could affect statutes on publication or inspection of returns.
