. SENAT TORS To.
AID D. c. BILL

A quartet OF Senator's Phipps,
Curtis, Capper. and Wesley Jones
lis banded together to try to OBJ
tain more liberal treatnent for
Washington when the District bill
comes before the Senate.
Not daunted by the Houses I'm
sistence Of sticking to the 5000 900
Jump sum" Federal contribution
to the local budget, these Senator's
are more than ever convinced that
a new deal is necessary and that,
il the lump sum system is to be
kept, the Federal quota must be
much larger than it is now.
While not showing much conf
dence that they viii be able to break
down the Houses stand. these, Sen.
ators hope to enlist such powerful
aid for their case that the District
will be assured of better treatment
before many more years have
passed.
1--WE are going to make a hard
fight. hut are not entirely hopeful
of winning it, said Senator Wesley
Jones today. There il no doubt in
nv mind that ultimately the House
win have to recede from its present
stand. ;"
The proposal to hold an inquiry
into the entire local fiscal and tax
alton situation is again being heard
in Congress. Similar investigations
in the past, however, have done little
toward persuading the House to
change its attitude.
