Won Papen Trial Court
In Nuremberg Bombed
By the Assoeiofed Press

NUREMBERG, Feb. IA bomb
exploded tonight in the Office OF
Camil Sachs, president of the de-
nazification court which is trying
Franz Won Papen, former German
Diplomat who was acquitted Of war
crimes by the international Military
Tribunal.
So far as was known, the building
was unoccupied at the time OF the
blast and there were no casualties,
The explosion blew out the windows
and doors of Sachs Office.
The building also houses the Of
fees of the Social Democratic Party
and the newpaper Fraenkische
Tagesport.
Il had no important documents in
the Office" Sachs told newsmen.
Nevertheless, I suppose the bomb
was set by people interested in the
Won Papen case who thought such
documents were there.
1T may be that the bomb was
touched off by the same people who
perpetrated the bombing of the de-
nazification court in Nuremberg
about two weeks ago."
The denazification court was
bombed early in January, with little
property damage and no casualties
resulting. Two suspects are held.
Nuremberg Police Chief Leo Stahl
said American Army agents and
German police began an immediate
investigation.
Won Papen's trial was In recess to-
day and u scheduled to resume
Monday.

What's to be Done?
1t Is Your Money

A joint committee of the
House and Senate District
Committees will be getting to
work soon to decide how to
overcome the Districts deficit.
Part of the additional
money to balance the local
budget may come from Uncle
Sam himself, who has not
been paying his fair share Of
the cost of the United States
Capital.
But most of it will come
from you = the Washington
resident. One of the Difficult
ties faced by Congress-and
faced by the local taxpaying
resident is that there are
not enough taxpayers who
contribute to the support of
the District. A lot more peo-
pie earn their living in Wash
ington than pay taxes in
Washington.
John w. Thompson, jr., a
member of The Stars staff,
has written a series of articles
. explaining the serious situa-
ton now faced by the people
who do pay taxes here. Tho
series begins tomorrow on the
editorial page. It Is your
money that Is involved,
whether you pay local taxes
or--net..

Secretary of State Marshall is

His plans, it was learned yester-
day, call for creation Of:
/. A high-Ieve1 planning boaro

prehensive basis than ever under

2. A secretariat, closely tied In
with this board, to correlate prob

cisions on them.
The system would operate some

ticed by the British Cabinet and
to the American military staff sys-
tenn, developed to a peak of efficien-
cy by Gen. Marshall as wartime
Army Chief of Staff.
Other State Department reorgan-
ization moves under consideration
involve consolidation and realign-
ment Of some functions, along with
improved equipment and training,
to increase efficiency and cut per-
sonnel.
No drastic organizational shakeup
is contemplated now. Those in a

necessary to increase the depart
ment's effectiveness in carrying out
q positive foreign policy.
Reorganization moves under for
tmer Secretary of State Byrnes have
brought more than a score former
Army, Navy and Marine officers into
key administrative jobs in recent
months
These men, most OF them in their
30s, already are credited with rapid
" increasing efficiency of the de-
partment's operations by bringing
to bear their wartime experience in
military staff work and such tech
nical fields as communications.
{ Gen. Marsiall's plans for running
the department stress the principle
of delegating much more respon-
sibility than heretofore to the Un-
dersecretary, Assistant Secretaries,
Office directors and division chiefs.
Establishment of the planning
board and secretariat will facilitate
operation of this principle. The idea
is to take much Of the paper work
load of the secretary and other top
officials. One duty of the secretariat
win be to help keep decisions at
lower levels in line with top policy.
The system would mean no more

Bates Fayors D. {. Tax
On Funds Earned Here
And Exempt in States
District Seeks to End
Limiting Levy to Those
'Domiciled' in Capitol

Representative Bates, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, who will
be in charge of the Districts big
new tax bill in the House, indi-
Gated yesterday he favored at
least some broadening of the
Washington income tax base.
He said he believed persons who
make all or portion of their in
comes in the District should be sub
ject to the measure, "if they do not
pay income taxes in their home
States" g.
District officials are asking that
the restrictive "domicile" rule in
the present District income tax be
eliminated. This rule limits the tax
only to those who are "domiciled"
here. District officials want this re-
placed by a broader rule applying
the levy to many who work or live
here but now escape the tax by
claiming legal residence elsewhere.
Mr.. Bates, who heads the Fiscal
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee, is deep in a study of
on the District tax situa-
tion and comparative data for other
cities.
Among other data, he has before
him outlines of municipal and State
income taxes, including that of New
York.
New York, he noted, does not have
such a restrictive "domicile" rule
as has been laid down for the Dis
trict, but he added it does have a
reciprocal system of credits for in
come taxes paid in other jurisdic-
ton.
Mr.. Bates plans to meet this week
with Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington, head OF the Fiscal Sub
committee of the Senate District
Committee, to work out the planned
joint hearings on District revenue
problems.
