Mr. Hale, the field man for the

visitor at Stockport, Friday of last
week.
We have been deputized to issue
canning sugar certificates to folks
at Stockport. We are doing this to
help the old, the sick, and those
who can't get to the county seat
easily. If you can't come to our
home we will come to yours. Please
remember we are doing this be-
cause we want to. We do not get
any compensation. If you want to
get your certificates from us please
get them this week. Get your sugar
when you get ready. If you would
have rather paid 80 cents per
pound for your sugar than to regis
ter, don't come. When you hear
folks telling of the large stocks of
sugar in storage, you can pity
those who stored it thinking they
would make a cleanup. What you
save on your sugar will more than
pay your share of this printing.

Morgan Reverses Self
On Income Tax Cases
OF Two j. ). Workers
De Hart and Murphy Held
Properly Assessed
Despite Domieiie Issue

Reversing decisions he had made
earlier. before the issue Of who Is
"domiciled" in the District was an
swered in ruling by the United
States Supreme Court, 10 v. Morgan,
sole member of the District Board
Of Tax Appeals, today ruled that
Paul M. De Hart and Henry C..
Murphy, Federal workers, were
properly assessed for District income
taxes
Apparently Mr.. Morgan's new
ruling that they were domiciled in
the District, although they had
claimed legal residence elsewhere,
ends a two-year legal battle with
victory for the District government,
-or it was reported both the protest.
ants had paid later income tax bills
levied by the District.
Mr.. De Hart, chief clerk of the
National Guard Bureau of the War
Department, and Mr.. Murphy, a
research specialist of the Treasury,
were billed for District income taxes
for the calendar year 1899. Mr.. De
Hart paid $685., and Mr.. Murphy
the first half of his bill of $5110,
and both claimed refunds. Mr.. De
Hart claimed legal residence at
Harrisburg, Pa, and Mr.. Murphy
legal residence at Detroit, Mich.
MIR. Morgan ruled the levies were
invalid on the ground the petitioners
were not "domiciled" here, although
they actually worked and resided
here. The District appealed and the
United States Court of Appeals
affirmed the Morgan ruling. The
District took the cases to the
Supreme Court.
Last December IS, the Supreme
Court reversed the appellate court
and remanded the issue to the tax
board. The Supreme Court said the
question of domicile was a difficult
one of fact, and that the two cases
did not call for rulings of nom
taxibility as matter of law, and
District officials said the ruling
placed the burden of proof on the
taxpayer rather than the munic-
ipality.

French Wor-GuiIt Trial
Judicial Comedy,' Says Cot
Former Air Minister,
Sixth Defendant, Busy
On Research Job Here

The French war guilt trial, be-
ginning today at Riom, is nothing
but a judicial comedy" whose pur-
pose Is to put the blame for the
German defeat of France on the
political adversaries of the Vichy
government, it was charged here
yesterday by one Of the men blamed
for Frances fall.
The statement came from Pierre
Cot, the sixth defendant, who is
living in a Maryland suburb of
Washington. M. Cot, Minister of
Air in the cabinet of former Premier
Leon Blum, is one of those blamed
by Vichy for the defeat of France
TT is a political trial." scoffed M.
Cot, lean, youngish man with the
air of a scholar. He was a pro-
fessor in a French law school and
he has lectured at Yale University.
He is now doing research work in
the Library of Congress.
Recalls Dreyfus Case.
The Riom trial will be held partly
in secret, he said, adding: What
is more important, Marshal Petain,
three months ago, interfered in
the business of the court, declared
we were culprits and sentenced us
to perpetual imprisonment"
after this decision" he went on,
you cannot expect the judges to be
free. They are obliged to adopt
the point Of view of Marshal Petain.
Even in Germany at the time
of the fire in the Reichstag, Hitler
left more freedom to the court.
If you want to appreciate the JUS
tice of Petain and Darlan, remem-
ber the Dreyfus easel"
Proud of Some Accusations.
M. Cot said he was proud of GER
tain accusations they have made
against him. They charge me
with having delivered ornaments
and planes to the Spanish repub-
lie. OF course, I did it," he said.
Il only regret not to have been able
to send them more"
He said he was charged with
leading Parliament to believe when
he was Air Minister in 1886 and
1887 that the security of France
was assured.
II made this statement in con-
sideration of our agreement not

have always been a believer in the
necessity of an alliance with Rus

alliance would have provided us
security and peace"
Foe Of Fascism.
M. Cot. said he was working with
Gen. Charles de Gaulle's Free
French movement. IT have always
been an adversary of Fascism," he
said.
The former Air Minister, who
came to this country shortly after
the fall of France in 1910. is living
here with his American-born wife,
the former Louisa Phelps of New
York and Boston, and their three
children. He left France disgusted
he said, that the government would
not flee to French Northern Africa
and continue the fight from there
Besides former Premier Blum, an
other one-time Premier, Edouard
Daladier; former generalissimo
Maurice Gustave Gamelin; Pierre
Jacomet, former administrator of
national defense industries, and
