The District Commission
erS regret exceedingly that
they tDiH not be able to accept
the Uery kind invitdtion of
Angler Biddle Duke
because OF previous commit
mentS.
In essence, this was the dip
lomatically phrased message
from the Commissioners today
to Mr.. Duke, State Department
protocol chief, about an inter-
national goodwill request.
Specifically, the Commis-
sioners begged off on a request
by Mr.. Duke that the District
drop its wholesale tax on liquor
sold to foreign diplomatic per-
sonnel.
In a letter to Mr.. Duke, Wal
ter N. Tobriner, president OF
the Board of Commissioners,
said the city does not have
authority to grant this tax ex-
emption. This opinion had
come from the Districts chief
legal officer, Corporation Coun-
sci Chester H. Gray, Mr..
Tobriner explained.
Under these circumstances
I regret the Commissioners will
be unable to take the action
you desire" Mr.. Tobriner re-
gretted.

DUKE TURNED DOWN
Liquor Tax Exemption
For Diplomats Denied

Mr.. Tobriner, easing the pain
somewhat, went on to say:
However, if the Department
of State feels that an exemp-
ton is required in the interests
of the United States in respect
of its relations in international
affairs, I am authorized on
behalf Of the Board CT Com
miSsioners to advise you that
if the Department of State
requests the Congress to amend
the applicable statute so as
specifically to authorize an
exemption" the Commissioners
won't object.
The Districts wholesale
liquor tax is $1.25 a gallon, The
Federal tax Of $10.50 a gallon
does not apply on sales to for
eign diplomats.
In his letter to District off,
cialS, Mr.. Duke had backed his
request with a notation that
the city had granted exemp-
tions in the past to foreign
diplomats on other levies, in
Guiding the sales and motor
vehicle fuel taxes.
In concluding his note, Mr..
Tobriner said any liquor tax
exemption granted by Congress
to foreign diplomats would be
accepted by the Commissioners
as being in the best interests
of the United States.
