Prussia's onetime Minister of Justice, Dr. Kurt Rosenfeld, a Socialist who managed to get out of Germany before Nazis nabbed him, received in Manhattan last week a bill for his German "escape tax," now a regular Nazi levy.

After confiscating all the Escaper's property in Germany and deducting its value from the unspecified amount of tax, the Nazi auditor figured meticulously that the former Minister of Justice owes his country 33,548 marks and 93 pfennigs, plus interest at 120% per annum since his escape, bringing the total bill to exactly 80,517 marks and 42 pfennigs ($32,598.15).
