MELLON HEARING HELD UP Pittsburgh. The government's at tempt to introduce evidence support ing its claim the 300 million Union Trust company of Pittsburgh "regu larly was engaged in the practice of evasion" brought a temporary halt in the hearing of Andrew W. Mellon's $3,089,000 income tax case. Carl R. Korb, dapper young vice president of the bank, was asked by Robert H. Jackson, government coun sel, If he hadn't prepared in Novem ber, 1930, a list of stocks held by Union trust at a cost price above the market price at that time. The inference was Korb had selected some stocks which Jackson, said he will prove were sold fictitiously for in come tax reductions by the bank. Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel for Mellon, objected on grounds that "what the Union Trust company did a year before the taxpayer (Mellon) is accused of underpaying his tax has nothing to do with this case." "I am attacking the credibility of this witness, and his bias," replied Jackson. Presiding member Ernest Van Fossan of the tax appeals board, which is hearing the case, adjourned the hearing tn hour earlier than scheduled and said the arguments and briefs in the dispute would be heard Friday. .
