WASHINGTON. May 3.—(BV-A
tax-free *2.500 annual incidental ex-
pense allowance for each member of
the house was recommended Thurs-
day by th* appropriations committee.
^Tbo committee made Us suggestion
tn a 980,733,147 appropriation MU to
finance operations of the legislative
establishment for the fiscal year
starting July 1.
For many years, the committee re-
port said, “member* of the congreM
have been subjected to • myriad of
expense* incidental to the efficient
conduct of their respective offices.*’
and the result has been a heavy drain
on their finance* "for matter* not
personal but directly incidental to
public office."
Since the extra monev would be
entirely far expense* Incidental tz>
office, the committee said, “it would
not be income, therefore not taxable.**
The leglstation contained no ilmllar
provision for senators, but they are
expected to make their own pro-
visions when the bill reaches them
probably next week.
Member* of congreea—senator* and
representatives | alike—now receive
*10.000 annually, in addition to al-
lowances for clerical help and normal
office expenditures. Their salaries
are taxable.

A flat denial that telephone wires
were tspped in the recent investiga-
tion of special sugar allotment* by
Oeorge Cox, district OPA food ration-
ing Mfiger, was made Thursday by
\Cecfl;H. Carson district manager of
the public buildings administration.
"In fairness both to the OPA and
to Cox, I think it should be known
that there was dr finitely no wire-
tapping done by the OFA or anyone
else,** Carson said.
Carson Control* Wlrse
**I would know U wire* had been
tapped tor anyone except the FBI or
■eCret earvice," Carson declared. He
has control at switchboard* not only
in local war agencies, but in the 58
local ration boards in this area. Hi*
office i* on the same floor of the Key
building aa the district OPh offices.
John Varn*fl, dlMrict OP* director
who suspended Cox lor 90 day* pend-
int investigation of complaints of
sugar rationing irregularities, said
i had nothing further to
to repeat that OPA is
:harges against Cox. but
suspended him until in-
vestigation's can be made.
Cox. in a statement issued following
publication of Varnell’s letter of sus-
pension, charged that it wa* brought
about by personal malice on the part
of Varnell and that he would wel-
come publication of all the fact*.
Complete Audit Demanded
“I wish to go on record as demand-
ing that not only the files which are
being checked at the present time be
completely audited, but also that
every industrial file which is in the
Oklahoma City district office be
audited completely,’’ Cox said. "I am
insisting upon this in order that I
may receive a clean slate when the
investigation is over.”
Cox, in a letter to Varnell, said:
“It is common knowledge around
the district office and county ration
board that my telephone lines have
been tapped.”
It wa* this charge which Carson
answered in his statement Thursday.
