SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* reported that Representative Hamilton Fish denied being questioned by the Internal Revenue Bureau regarding a $25,000 credit he received from Dominican dictator Rafael L. Trujillo in 1939. Fish stated that he acted solely as an agent in oil speculations, explaining that $12,500 was lost and the remaining $12,500 was returned to Trujillo. Fish added that tax officials had advised him the agency transaction did not need to be declared on his income tax return.
El *Evening Star* informó que el legislador Hamilton Fish desmintió haber sido interrogado por la Oficina de Rentas Internas en torno a una partida de 25.000 dólares transferida por el dictador dominicano Rafael L. Trujillo en 1939. Fish alegó que se limitó a desempeñarse como comisionista intermediario en especulaciones petrolíferas, precisando que se esfumaron 12.500 dólares y se reembolsó a Trujillo el restante de 12.500. Fish arguyó asimismo que las autoridades impositivas le dictaminaron que dicha intermediación no requería ser asentada en su balance tributario anual.

renomination in President Roose
velt’s home district, today flatly
declared that he had never been
questioned by any representative
of the Internal Revenue Bureau
regarding a $25,000 credit he re
ceived from Gen. Rafael L. Tru
jillo, dictator of the Dominican
Republic, in 1939.
Mr. Fish discussed over the long
distance telephone, from his office
at 111 Broadway, New York, the
copyrighted account of his dealings
with Gen. Trujillo published in the
Washington Post today.
‘‘There are four points,” said Mr.
Fish, ‘‘in connection with this
matter.
‘‘First, no representative of the
Internal Revenue Bureau has ap
proached me to discuss this credit
of $25,000.
‘‘Second, I was acting merely as
an agent in the matter, in connec
tion with some oil speculations.
“Third, there was a total loss of
$12,500, and the other $12,500 I re
turned to Gen. Trujillo.
Consulted Bureau on Tax Returns.
“Fourth, I wrote a letter to the
Internal Revenue Bureau, after con
sulting two men in that bureau who
informed me there was no reason for
taking up the matter with the bu
reau, setting forth the details of the
transaction. This was written after
my campaign for renomination got
under way, comparatively recently.
"As a matter of fact, I consulted
representatives of the bureau about
this credit before I filed my income
tax for 1939 and was told that as I
was merely an agent, I did not have
to Include a statement of the credit
in my return.”
Secretary of the Treasury Mor
genthau declined comment on the
Fish matter at a press conference
