EFFORT TO RECONCILE
$3.50 DIFFERENCES

An effort is being made today to find
some ground on which the House and
Senate can reconcile their differences
over the half and half principle of
financing the National Capital in order
that the District appropriation bill
may be passed before Congress takes
a recess. Senate and House leaders
realize that with the new fiscal year
starting July 1 and with the House
preparing for a recess starting June
some action must be taken soon on
the District appropriation bill.
After conference with House leaders
today, Chairman Davis of the subcom-
mittee on District appropriations had
chat with Chairman Curtis of the
Senate subcommittee on District ap-
preparations. Previous to this meet
ing Mr.. Davis said he hoped to find
some way in which the Senate and
House could get together on the fiscal
relations He understood that the
half-and-half principle and the ques-
tion of taxation would be the sub
ject of conversation between himself
and Senator Curtis. Mr.. Davis be-
lieyes that the fifty-fifty proposition
insisted upon by the Senate Is the
only obstacle to an early compro-
mise on the District appropriation
bill
Before having his talk with Sena-
ence with the other confefees for the
House, Representative Cramton of
Michigan and Representative Bueh-
anan of Texas. He sought their opin-
ion in regard to what matters he
