OXFORD GROUP NOT EXEMPT FROM · TAX

London, July 28.-The Court of Appeal today rejected an application by the Oxford Group (The World Moral Itearmament Movement) to be exempt from tax.

The Oxford Group sabniltted that it was an incorporated body existing for charitable - objects only.

Lord Justice Tucker, examining the Movement's Memorandum of Association, rejected this plen. He said that while the "Oxford Group" itself was a purely religious body, the Memorandum of Associa- tion of the Group permitted the company to engage in activities which might be secular or political.

The Group was given permission to take their appeal to the House of Lords.—Reuter,
