High Court Denies
D.. Plea for Review
OF DomiciIe Case
Appeals Tribunal Ruling
In Tax Exemption
Dispute to Stond

The Supreme Court today denied
the petition of the District govern
ment for a review of the decision
of the United States Court of Ap-
peals, which ruled in March that
Federal employe on duty here
might claim domicile elsewhere and
by that fact be exempt from the
old intangible personal property tax.
That levy has been repealed. but
the principle laid down by the ap-
pellate court was seen by District
of1cials as standing as possible
barrier to collection of the new
income tax and the estate tax and
as complicating also the admins
tration of estates and granting of
divorces where the question of domi-
cile was at issue. For that reason
the review was sought.
In denying the petition the court
said: "The petition for writ of
certiorari is denied in view of the
fact that the tax is laid under a
statute which has been repealed
and the question is therefore not of
public importance"
Test Brought by Sweeney.
The tax test was brought by James
j. Sweeney a Justice Department
attorney, who had paid under pro-
test assessments of 86 cents and SO
