Supreme Court Hears
Districts Argument
On Income Taxes
Those DomiciIed Here
Should Be Subject to
Levy, Simmon Contends

Claiming error on the part of the
United States Court of Appeals in
two cases exempting Federal en-
ployes from paying District Of. Co.
lumbia income taxes, Glenn Sim
mon. assistant corporation counsel.
argued before the Supreme Court
of the United States today that
domicile should be the basis of Dis
trict income tax payment.
Mr.. Simmon opened his argument
for the District shortly before the
court luncheon recess and planned
to conclude this afternoon. He was
to be followed by Harry r. Turkel,
counsel for the two Federal work
ers, Henry c. Murphy of the Treas
ury Department and Paul M. De
Hart of the War Department.
Argument was to be closed today.
Paid Under Protest.
Both Federal workers paid a Dis
trlct income tax under protest. were
upheld by the Board of Tax Ap-
peals and when the District govern
ment appealed the case, the board
ruling was affirmed on the basis of
the earlier case of James j.
Sweeney, Justice Department law
yer. The District government then
appealed to the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Simmon. who represented the
District in the Sweeney case. based
the Districts appeal on four points
in which he claimed the Court of
Appeals had erred.
The District counsel claimed that
the Court of Appeals used the rule
of compulsion in the two cases re-
lating to the domicile of the two
employees on the theory that in
dividuals are compelled to reside
where they do. This rule, which is
applied to soldiers and others under
similar orders, could not be held to
apply to Federal employees in the
civil service, Mr.. Simmon contended.
Frankfurter Raises Question.
Justice Frankfurter raised the
question of whether it made any
difference if the taxpayer was sub
ject to taxation in his home State.
In reply Mr.. Simmon declared the
position of the District of Colum-
bia was that it made no difference
what the States might do, if a man
were actually domiciled in the Dis
trict. and that such person should
be subject to taxation here.
Mr.. Simmon claimed that the
Court of Appeals erred in holding
that the two Government workers
were not domiciled here and that
this automatically subjected them to
jurisdiction of States where they
formerly resided.

: MOSCOW, Tuesday, Nov. 49,
Counterattacking Red Army
troops have thrown German
units Into a panic stricken
rout' on the outskirts of Tula,
ll0 miles south of here, where
they captured great stacks of
war materials, the news agency
Tass announced today in a
broadcast.
Omc1al dispatches from Leningrad
also said that Nazi troops had been
dislodged from positions they had
held for two months before that be-
sieged city.
The Soviet counterattack on the
southern outskirts of Tula began
Saturday. Tass said, and continued
through the next day.
Everywhere there are traces of
the panic stricken rout of crack
German units the communique
said. Hats, overcoats. boots and
other articles lie abandoned
Porridge Left Uneaten.
Huge piles of shells, cases of cart
ridges, hundreds of grenades, rifles,
machine guns, tanks and bowls of
uneaten lentil porridge were left
behind"
The Soviet account, which named
the German units involved, said that
on one sector of the Tula front the
surprised Germans were caught
asleep. abandoned their guns and
ran down frosty streets in their un-
derwear"
The 855th German Regiment, a re-
serve unit brought from Germany
just few days ago. and the 394th
Regiment were those involved In
the precipitate withdrawal, Tass
said.
Leningrad Victory Claimed.
Before Leningrad the Soviet
troops were reported to have over
come strong German Notifications.
Our units" the dispatch said,
ARE taking by storm literally every
foot of ground and are pressing
the Fascists back.
Incorporating with artillery our
bombers and low-fying attack air
craft smashed and silenced the en-
emy firing positions, thus clearing
the way for the infantry.
Repeated German counterattacks
to regain the lost positions failed.
We captured material and inflicted
many casualties"

The next move in the dispute be-
tween the U. M w and the stee
companies which operate the cap
tive mines seemed up TO President
Roosevelt. who this afternoon was
awaiting report from steel repre-
sentatives on their position in the
unsuccessful coal mine negotiations
over the week end.
John L. Lewis. president of the
U. M. W., notified the Chief EXecu-
tive earlier today. that. despite the

be continued the u NJ w. had re-
fused to accept an open shop agree

Sympathy Strikes Reported.
Surveys of the coal fields showed
that at least Is mines not supposed
to be affected by the strike were
closed by sympathy walkouts. They
included captive mines, in which the
union shop already had been grant
ed. as we'll as commercial mines.
The strike resulted in a complete
shutdown in most captive mines, but

United States Coal & Coke Co. re-
ported that so per cent of a normal

A ck-throwing fight was report
ed at Gary at one mine. 1t was the

The first blast furnace to be taken
out of production because of coal
shortage was at the Republic Steel
Corps plant in Birmingham, where
it was announced that one of the
two furnaces was being banked The
company said the second furnace
will be closed unless coal is available
in the next few days.
There was no indication today
that Alabama's $4,000 commercial
miners would join the walkout.
Presidential Offer Reported.
Meanwhile it was reliably
reported here that President
Roosevelt last week offered 10 write
letters to the $500 non-union miners
in captive coal mines requesting
them to join the U. M. W., in final
effort to avert the shutdown which
took place today. The President
made the suggestion along with a
proposed preferential hiring" sys-
