City Tax Suit

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30
(AP).-The city revenue COM
missioner says he will go to
court in an effort to collect
payment of four years. city
wage taxes from Harold E.
StasSen.
Commissioner North Rot
man made his statement after
Q face-to-face public meeting
in which Mr.. Stassen again
failed to produce receipts for
taxes Mr.. Rotman says are due.
Mr.. StasSen, Republican can
didate for Mayor, maintained
he paid all due city wage taxes.
He said he had receipts to
prove 1t. Instead of producing
them yesterday, he pleaded
exemption because he was in
the service Of the United States
Government in the four years,
1858 through 1856.
Advised on Disarmament
In this period Mr.. Stassen
was President Eisenhower's adj
wiser on disarmament. Mr..
StasSen told Mr.. Rotman dur
ing their meeting in the
Mayors reception room in City
Hall that during this period he
maintained a voting residence
here, but did not live in Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. StasSen said Mr.. Rotman,
q Democrat, was using the tax
issue for political purposes. Mr..
Rotman said he publicly en-
tered the issue after Mr.. Stas-
sen made statements he had
receipts for the years in ques-
ton.
The issue was raised earlier
in the political campaign by
Democratic City Councilman
Victor Moore. He said Mr..
Stassen claimed Philadelphia
as his home for political pur-
poses. but didn't want to be a

paying wage taxes.
