When onetime President Charles E. ("Sunshine Charlie") Mitchell of Manhattan's National City Bank used the wash-sale technique to reduce his 1929 income tax, and also failed to report a $666,666.67 bonus, he was tried on a criminal charge of tax evasion, acquitted (TIME, May 1, 1933). In a civil proceeding the Board of Tax Appeals then ordered him to pay the evaded tax, amounting to $728,709.84. This week a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan turned down Bankster Mitchell's appeal from that ruling. Big difference between the Mitchell and Du Pont...
