D. {. Resident DomiciIed
Elsewhere Wins Tax Refund

The District Board of Tax APP
peals, bowling to the decision of the
United States Court of Appeals in
the Sweeney case, ruled yesterday
that a Federal employe-who had
lived in the District since 1914 but
claimed "domicile' elsewhere-did
not have to pay District income tax.
This was the first decision by 10
v. Morgan. sole member of the APP
peals board which was directly
comparable with conditions in the
Sweeney case-in which the Court
of Appeals established income tax
exemption for District residents who
claimed residence elsewhere.
The case in which Mr.. Morgan
ruled yesterday was brought by
Paul M. Dehart, chief clerk in the
Personnel and Organization Division
of the National Guard Bureau of
the War Department. He came to
Washington in 1914 and has been
here since.
He claimed a refund of S1636 on
his District income tax on the
ground that he was not domiciled
in this city. He claimed that
Harrisburg, Pa. was his legal resi-
dence, stating that his parents re-
sided there. he has paid poll and
occupational taxes there and has es-
tablished voting privileges.
Mr.. Dehart, who lives at 1926
Massachusetts avenue Sc. said he
intended to leave Washington when
he becomes Eligible for civil service
retirement four years from now.
