Morgan UphoIds Taxation
OF War College Vehicles

10 v. Morgan, sole member OF
the Districts Board of Tax Appeals,
yesterday announced he had upheld
taxation levied by the District on
two motor vehicles owned by the
post exchange at the Army War
College. He suggested to reporters
that the ruling, If carried to the
courts and upheld, might affect the
thousands Of similar post exchanges
throughout the country.
The tax involved was $1278, con-
stituting personal property taxes on
the motor vehicles, but Mr.. Morgan
suggested that the ruling suggests
possibilities that other personal
property might be subject to tax.
Mr.. Morgan said the ruling was
In the nature of hairline decision
He believed that essentially identical
facts were involved in other cases
decided both ways by various courts.
He said the question was further
complicated by the fact that rulings
of former Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal and Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech on the
question differed.
And, as if that were not enough
confusion" he said, "the facts in the
case disclosed that while the assessor
had this year assessed the personal
property tax on the automobiles at
the Army War College post ex-
change, 1t had not made similar
tax levy on the post exchange at
Boiling Field" He said the facts
were identical.

In a statement pledging aid to

movement.
It declared that Amalgamated

The Germany Army, administra-
ton advisers said today, apparently
has wrested control of the Reich's
war policies from the Nazi party
On the eve of the onslaught
against Russia, say reports to OFF,
cials here, the army and the leaders
Of the National Socialist party split
sharply, with the NaZis opposing war
on the Soviet in favor of an all-out
attempt to conquer England.
Adolf Hitler sided finally with the
military-voluntarily or otherwise
and the army won the argument.
Thus the Reichswehr, which early
in Hitler's regime lost place to the
Nazis as the most powerful single
force in Germany, would seem to be
back in the saddle.
Triumph by Autumn Inevitable"
Despite the present barrage of con-
flicting claims from Berlin and Mos
COW, the belief persisted here that a
complete Nazi triumph by autumn
was inevitable, barring the equiva-
lent of an "act of God" to upset
calculations.
This authoritative estimate of
military prospect involved a num-
Der of disturbing implications for
American defense policies. Mount
ing official concern has been re-
ported over the possibility that
Germany or Japan would win con-
troll of Asiatic Russia, whose ST.
berian coast Is within a few miles
of Alaska, across the Bering
Straits.
The immediate German plan is be-
lieved to be utter destruction of
the Red Army as an offensive
force, the overthrow of the Soviet
regime and the substitution of pup
pet regional states in the Ukraine,
the Baltic and elsewhere.
With the Red Army in the west
defeated, control of the 5,00O-mile
Trans-Siberian Railway and, with
it, sparSely settled Siberia, was seen
as relatively minor mopping-up
operation.
Could Outfiank British.
From the Ukraine and the Cau-
casus the German Army would be
in a position to outflank the Brit
ish in the Middle East via Iran,
but in the official view here a move
in that direction was unlikely until
after the main Russian issue had
been decided
Meanwhile, reports indicate that
about 80 per cent of the burden of
Axis air operations in the Med
iterranean theater has been turned
back to the Italians.
In the event of disaster, the Rus
slams would be able in "a hours to
put out of commission the Oil wells
of the Caucasus, it was said, but
it would be difficult to destroy the
green fields of the Ukraine.
Nazis Believed to Have Edge.
Sifted from a mass of official re-
ports and data on the wars latest
turn is this estimate of the forces
and immediate prospects - admit
tedly subject to revision but prob
ably the most authoritative out
line available thus far:
Germany has thrown a force of
some 2,500,000 veteran fighters, rep
resenting, with its allies, the equiva-

Army Of about 165 divisions.
The Luftwaffe Is believed to be

reserves and a skilled maintenance
system, against Soviet air fleet Of

Russians Have More Panzer Units.
Should Berlin claims be sub
stantiated that the Russian air
force already has been crippled,
authorities here doubt that the Red
Army. lacking aerial eyes, would be
able to prevent development and
piecemeal destruction, even though
the Russians were credited at the
outset with 2 to l margin in the
number of mechanized units.
The Russians were credited with
48 tank brigades. considered the
equivalent of half as many full
divisions, compared with u German
pdNZer DIVISIONS.
Offsetting the reported Russian
margin in fighting vehicles such as
tanks and scout cars was the judg-
ment of informed sources that the
German panzer divisions. veterans
of the triumph over the Allies in
Flanders and France, were ADLER.
The NaZi divisions are believed
to be backed by ample requirements,
and skilled maintenance crews
which the Russians lack.
The main German thrust was be-
neved to be in the center of the
1000 mile front, toward the vital
railway center of Minsk and Moscow
beyond. Events on the f1anks in the
south near Odessa on the Black Sea
and north near Wilma, were regarded
as minor diversions.
Using the rule of thumb gauge OF
$4,000 men to division, the Russian
forces were reported to be thus dis
posed-23 divisions east Of Finland,
AZ south and II southeast of Fin
land; "a in the center on the Polish
front; 48 in the south on the Ukraine
frontier, and Is or more in reserve.
The estimated attacking strength,
about which less detailed informa-
ton was available here, included
some 100 German divisions, 80 Ru-
manian and 10 Finnish.
Germany was conceded a heavy
advantage in naval strength in the
Baltic Sea, but Russia was credited
with an overwhelming margin in the
Black Sea.
