old German Embassy Offered for Sale byU.S.

The old German Embassy on
Massachusetts, avenue is for sale.
The Justice Department yester-
day advertised for bidders on the
red-brick buildings at 1854
Massachusetts, avenue NV. which
served as Germany's diplomatic
headquarters in America from
1893 until World War II.
Germans ceased to occupy the
rambling structure-once group
Of private homes-on December
19, 1941. That was the day Charge
d'Affaires Hans Thomson and 200
aides left for protective custody"
in White Sulphur Springs. w. Va,
with crowd watching them go.
Last year, when the present
West German governments eco
nomic mission was looking for
quarters here, the State Depart
ment permitted one of its repre-
sentatives to look the building
over. But the Germans repeatedly
found the place to antiquated, and
no move was made to occupy it.
But the Justice Department, in
a large advertisement in yester-
days Star, called the property a.
valuable downtown location" and
said it "offers unusual opportuni-
ties for development" No valua-
ton was published.
Only Americans May Buy.
Only citizens of the United
States are eligible to buy it. And
they must submit an affadivit that
they are buying for themselves
and not for resale to an alien.
The Imperial German govern
ment bought the first of the build
ings making up the present struc-
ture in 1893 from Carol Thomas
Ferguson. That was the house at
number 1435. The other buildings
were added after World War I.
The German Ambassadors never
were particularly proud of their
home here, however, and they
began early to plan for a replace
ment. The site for a new Embassy
was bought in 1905 at Bancroft
place and S street NV.
World War I and postwar
financial difficulties delayed this
project. But finally, in 1897, Am
bassador Hans Dieckhoff decided
the old quarters were too ram

D. {. Tax Exemption,
TO Reduce Returns
To $4,000 This Year

Individual income tax returns
to the District are expected to
drop from last years total of 130,-
900 to between $4,000 and 10000
this year because of the new $4.-
900 exemption.
District residents will not have
to file returns for the calendar
year 1850 unless their income ex-
ceeded $4,000.
The change was provided by
the new Revenue Act when Con-
gress established the 3 per cent
sales tax here. The higher ex-
|emption was made applicable be-
ginning with 1850 income. The
basic exemption on 1949 income
was $1,000.
Returns are due April Is. Mean
while, employers are required to
file income statements with the
District by February Is on all
their employees with District ad
dresses who were paid $4,000 or
more during 1850.
So Million Return Expected.
The higher exemption will mean
a big drop in individual income
tax revenue for the city, although
it hardly can be compared with
the gain provided by the sales
tax. That levy produces more than
$13.5 million a year.
But officials estimate the indi-
vidual income tax return this
fiscal year will be about SO mil
lion, as compared with $5,O43 $40
for the year ended last June 80.
Next fiscal year, the revenue
will go down even more, to about
$2.5 million, 1t is expected. This
is because this years total will re-
fleet some last-half instalments
from 1949 returns.
Elective Officers Exempt.
The income tax is applicable to
everyone domiciled in the District
on the last day of the taxable
year, or who has maintained a
home here for more than seven
months.
This does not include any elec-
tive officer of the United States,
or any employe on the staff of an
elective officer in the legislative
branch if the employe is bona
f1de resident of the State of resi-
dence of the officer.
Also not included are officers of
the executive branch whose ap-
pointment was by the President
and subject to confirmation by
the Senate, and whose tenure of
Office is at the pleasure of the
President, unless they are domi-
ciled here.
Progression Rate Changed.
There is a change in the rate
of tax on 1850 income from l per
cent to 11a per cent on the first
$4,000 of taxable income. The
rate of progression now will make
the maximum rate of 3 per cent
begin on income over $4,000
rather than over $4,000.
AS an example, a single person
making $500 a year would be
entitled to an exemption of $4,000,
and standard deduction of $500.
He would be taxed 11a per cent
on the remaining $1,000, or SIS.
The District does not expect to
begin mailing return forms out
until about March l because of
printing delays. Some forms are
available, meanwhile, at the Dis
trict Building.
Forms for employers statements
on their employees incomes are
available in Room 9 at the District
Building. ..-.s
