Mellon Offers Art

Gift to Presldentj
WASHINGTON. —(P)— Andrew|
Mellon has offered the government'
a $27,000,000 art gift — including‘
the works of such masters as
Raphael and Titian, together with'
a gallery—but treasury officials;
say it will not affict their $3,089,- |
000 claim against his 1931 income.]
The $18,006,000 paintings which |
the former Secretary of Treasury |
offereq President Roosevelt with |
$9.000,000 to house them figured in|
his suit for a refund on his 19311’
tax bill. |
Mellon argued in the suit that,|
in transferring the art collection:
to the A. W. Mellon charitable
and educational trust in 1931, he;
intended they should eventually go]
into a public gallery. l
“It’s a question of timing)” said
Arthur H. Kent, assistant gonerall
counsel of the treasury. “When
Mr. Mellon’s gift becomes abso
lute and irrevocable, no doubt an
income tax deduction will be al
lowable. But it would not apply
to his 1931 tax.”

ATLANTA . —(®)—Governor Tal=

court today but Judge Claude
Pittman, presiding over the court
at Dalton, iefused to surrender
the office to Ingram.
Ingram appeared at the court
house and presenteq his credenti

vacant because James McFarland
of Dalton, who defeated Pittman
in the Jast election, died before
assuming office.
At Dallon, Judge Pittman, who
once opposed Talmadge for the
governorship, declared “no vacan
cy exists” in the office.
Judge Pittman added:
“Mr. Ingram presentde his cre
dentials to me this morning, but
I told him I dig not think the
governor had authority to make
an appointment since no vacancy
exists.
“Mr. Ingram was very reason
able about the matter. We both
discussed the matter briefly be
fore the court, and later privately.
“The next move is up to Mr.
Ingram. He will institute quo
warranto procedeings in 2a few
days and the matter will be de

Ingram and Pittman both live
in Cartersville. |

By JOSEPH T. ROBINSON
Senator From Arkansas, and

Written For The Associated Presc
WASHINGTON—The 75th Con
gress meeting tomorrow is the
Sesqui-Centennial Congress, Mark
ing the nation’s 150th year, it
faces many problems little fore
seen by those who founded the
government.
High on the list will be such
issues as regulation of hours and
wages of workers, improvement of
conditions surrounding farm ten
ants, legislation to protect farm
ers competing in a highly complex
/industrail civilrzation; and appro
‘priations for millions of citizens
w4o cannot find work.
: Swiftly Improving !
. But with economie conditions
swiftly improving, and the emer
gency of depression years past, the
necessity for hasty legislation has
been removed. Congress can, and
should, study these complex prob
lems from every angle and with
deliberation. |
When the great depression threat- '
ed the nation with ruin we had to
move quickly. The evils of speedy
action were more than offset
however, by the helpful results of -
getting the economic machinery
again in motion, ]
One paramount issue of the ses
soin, and ong which calls for thor-'
ough inquiry, 18 determination of
America’s permanent neutrality
policy. It may be necessary to
act quiekly to maintain neutrality
in the present Spanish conflict,
but much care must be exercised
in writing the permanent law.
It is to be hoped that business
limprovement will curtail the need
for government spending. The!
(budget will be balanced as soon as‘
‘,it can be without causing real suf
fering. I hope that will be within
the next two years.
