TO RESIST WAR
ON HALF PLAN
Senator Works and Repre-
sentative Cooper Will Wage
Fight on District Bill Rider.
CONTRARY TO REPORT
Members of Joint Select Committee
Say Proposal Is in Violation of
Recommendations.
By JOSEPH p. AMIN.

At least two members of the Joint
Select Committee of Congress which last
fall reported on the fiscal relationship
between the District and the Federal
government will repudiate the legislative
rider in the District appropriation bill
abolishing the hah-and-half plan-as a
violation Sof the spirit and letter OF the
recommendations contained in the report
Of the select committee.
These members-Senator Works and
Representative Cooper-hold that the
District appropriation bill, as reported
to the House Thursday repudiates the
obligation of the Federal government so
torcefully emphasized in the fiscal re-
port, to maintain the National Capital
on a scale OF magnifcence behtting its
position. They recognize the obvious ef-
fort Of the trainers OF the bill to relieve
the Federal government OF as large an
expenditure as possible, by limiting the
appropriations authorized to bare neces-
stiles, with the result that District tax
payers will be forced to bear more than
two-thirds OF the burden of maintaining
the National Capital. and that virtually
all expenditures which the District tax
payers are unable to bear are arbitrarily
eliminated.
May Defeat own Purpose
The announced reputation by these
Two members or the half-and-half aboli-
tion clause in the Page bill involves the
withdrawal from the clause Of a large
measure of support in both houses upon
which its framer counted. AS pointed
out by The Herald yesterday morning,
the tendency to retrench Federal expen-
ditures at the expense Of the District is
so clearly proved in the Page bill that
the measure may defeat its own pur-
pose.
THE Joint Select Committee found that
District taxpayers were bearing their full
burden under the existing tax rate" de-
clared Representative Cooper yesterday,
and that 1t was the duty OF the Federal
government to continue the present policy
OF improving and beautifying the National
Capital, regardless of the expense In
Volved. 1t was the purpose OF the select
committee, carefully emphasized in the
report. TO remove a bar which might be
accepted as limiting Federal appropria-
tons for this purpose.
TT was not the intention-it was direct
ly contrary to the purpose-of the COM
mittee. to facilitate any attempt to shift
the burden Of responsibility more fully
