Py German residents here, and their Argentine-born sons are being taxed from four to 32 percent of their wages to maintain a nazl political organization in Argentina, says a report made lo the house of deputies by a congressional committee investigating anti-Argentine activities. All employes of German-owned or controlled business houses and industries in Argentina regularly contribute, some without consent, to a fund designed to promote nazi propaganda in South America, the report asserts. Submitted to the house late yesterday, the report declares the alleged nazi tax system works this way: German Ambassador Edmund von Thermann appointed collectors lor each German business place.

The collectors deduct payments from salaries before the employes get their checks. The money is turned over to the treasury of German labor unions, which places it in accounts in German banks here. The German ambassador then draws against the accounts, making out checks to cash. Recipients cannot be traced easily because Argentine law does not require endorsement of such checks.
