RENEW DISCUSSION
ON DISTRICT BILL
Conferees Fail to Agree on
Jones Rider to Appro,
priation Measure.

In conference on the District ap-
preparation bill, renewed yesterday
by the Senate and House. the DONG
standing controversy over the fiscal
relations between the District anG
Federal government was resur-
rected.
The Jones rider to the appropria-
tion bill. providing for adjustment
of any fixed ratio. was discussed. No
agreement was reached. The dis
cussion will be renewed Tuesday
morning. when the conferees re-
convene. The House has demanded
a change in the law which fixes the
$3.50 rate, reducing to 40 per cent
the amount which the Federal gov
eminent would contribute to the ex-
penses Of the National Capital,
while the Senate restored the $3.50
plan in several measures. ! The
Jones rider would establish a tax
rate of S1.75 and call on the Federal
government for the amount required
to meet the District expenses after
exhaustion of tax collections.
The fact that the conferees took
up the question Of the fiscal rela-
tons Immediately and were unable
to settle it yesterday was taken as
an augury of a stubborn fight. Cit
liens recently protested against any
change in the $3.50 law and District
officials have been called upon by
members of Congress, formally and
informally, to give their views.
Testimony of various hearings bear
ing upon the subject will be placed
at the disposal of the Appropria-
tions Committee conferees during
their deliberations IL they should
desire IL.
The conference sessions are not
public but following the meeting
yesterday II was said that the dis
cussion of the Jones rider was
"amicable." No other items OF the
bill were discussed, though there
was some attention given to the
school situation. Items in the bill
inserted by the Senate providing
for some immediate school needs,
will be retained IL the Senate con-
ferees can accomplish this success
without unduly delaying or holding
up the bill.
