ROME. March 1.-THE new American
income tax has caused much dissat!sfac-
don not only among Americans resident In
italy, who already pay two Italian taxes
on their incomes. namely the so-called
"movable wealth tax" levied by the state
And the family tax levied by the munich
Dality. but more 80 by many American
women who have Italian husbands and de-
rive their incomes from America.
All wealthy parsons are heavily taxed
In Italy. but In the case OF foreigners who
have married Italians and Italians living
abroad exemption OF the payment OF taxes
n their countries could generally be oh
tained. No such exemption seems TO he
possible under the American income tax
law. The payment Of the tax under this
law Is 30 complicated that nobody can
understand exactly how II IL applied.
Several Americana have applied to law
yers for explanations of the law. but seem
70 be unable to get them from the attor-
neys. who say II Ii impossible TO under
sand the law. Even those who are will
ing to pay the tax complain that at least
should do so.
