DISPUTE ARISES IN COAL CASE

cidl Findings for Hear- - ing Here.

* Three Federal Judges waited today for special findings of fact in the Winslow Coal Corp. attack on the constitutionality of the Najional Bituminous Coal Act. Robert L. Stern, special assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, and Carl M. Gray of Petersburg, attorney for the Winslow company, ‘spent yesterday afternoon in an attempt to reach an agreement on the questions of fact and law involved in the case. U. S. Circuit Judge Walter E. Treanor of Chicago and district judges Charles E. Woodward of Chicago and Robert C. Baltzell of Indianapolis heard oral arguments in ‘the case yesterday morning. ,

. Motions Pending

Government. motions for dismissal and summary judgment; ‘are still pending as well as -the Winslow company’s original request. for an injunction against taxes established by the act. Mr. Stern in presenting the Government’s case yesterday said that it was a peculiar paradox, different from most tax cases in that the Government said the company did not owe a 19% per cent tax which the company ‘said it did. This circumstance arose from the

fact that the company. said its sec-

ond mine is not a member of the Coal Code and therefore not subject to the penalty tax set out in the law. The Government claimed that the code membership applied to all mines owned by the.company.

Dispute Over Tax

The fundamental dispute :yesterday lay, however, in the question

also set out in the code was an excise tax or a method of regulating the coal industry. The company claims if is not: subject to this tax because all its business is intrastate and cannot be regulated by Congress.

constitutional but said he believed the ‘court should dismiss ‘the case without considering the law’s constitutionality because the Winslow | company had not exhausted its legal ‘means of getting a rebate on taxes paid under the law.

por ‘notable increase in local sales also has been. shown,. according to C. A. Whitehead of the Whitehead Motors, 328 N. Delaware St. He

about 150 per cent over last year. e. sales increase is due chiefly to the recently announced 100,000 mile or three-year guarantee on all new Willys cars, officials say.

CITIZENS’ GROUP

The Citizens’ Housing. Committee today mailed copies of its report on Indianapolis slum conditions to hun-

co-operation in the Commiftee’s efforts to set up a local housing authority here. The Committee, composed of civic, church, fraternal and labor organizations, made an analysis of housing ‘conditions which showed a need of extensive rehousing for low income groups. * In its letter to local organizations, the Committee said that “City Government should no longer condone the excessive cost of maintaining blighted areas which are an ‘economic drain on the taxpayers.” Committee members plan to petition Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and City Council for the creation of the local authority, the first step in instituting - a slum clearance program here.
