CHANGES IN 6O-4O
BILL MAY Be ASKED
D. c. Heads Indicate They
Will Urge Reduction in

The District Commissioners prob
ably will recommend to Congress this
week several minor notifications in
the bill introduced in the House by
Represen, tive Zihlman of Maryland
to restore the 60-40 basis of approprl-
ating for the District.
The bill already has been referred
to the Commissioners for cOnsidera-
tion and report, and while they have
net definitely decided on their reply.
it was indicated at the District Build
ing yesterday that they likely would
urge a reduction in the personnel OF
the committee it proposes to create
to recommend annually what the per
centaga contributions Of the Federal
and District Governments should be.
The Zihlman bill provides for com
mittee of l5 consisting OF fVe Sena'
tors. five Representatives and hve citi-
zens named by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners, it was said. be-
lieve that a committee of seven mem.
bers would be sufficient
The personnel OF the committee
under thc plan to be proposed by the
commissioners would consist of the
chairmen of the Senate and House
District committees. or some other
member designated by each of them;
the chairmen of the Senate and House
appropriations committees, the director
of the budget. commissioner desiS-
mated by the Board of Commissioners
and a citizen OF the District desig-
mated by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners also believe that
this committee should recommend the
ratio of contribution between the Fed
eral and District governments for
two.year period instead of annually
as proposed in the Zihlman bill.
Otherwise the bill is said to meet
their approval, and a report urging
it's adoption with the proposed amend
ments is expected to be drawn up.
