The Treasury Department found itself in a morass of legal tangles arising from the difficulty of deciding what needs are ''reasonable." It was clear from last week's outpouring of extra dividends that many a corporation had decided to split swollen surpluses with its stockholders before Congress meets in January to tighten the revenue law's definitions...
