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
