ficient. One of the appointees.

trict subcommittee on appropria-
tions, favors a Federal contribu.
ton of only around $4,000. 600.

port ready for submission to the

convenes.
On June II the House voted
285 to II, that a $4,000. 900 Fed
eral sum was just and fair to the
District, but no one who voted ir
opposition has been given ar
appointment on the investigating
committee.
The committee is to inquire moi
only into the equity of the $4,000,
600 lump sum but also the gen
eral subject of taxation Of District
residents, to report whether theS
are not under taxed. and to ad
