|EARLY ACTION SEEN
| ON FUNDS USE
King, After Conference, Hints
Decision Near on Highway
and Water Monies.

The question as to whether the Dis
trict Government will be permitted to
use its gas tax and water funds in the
near future for needed improvements
that would help relieve the unemploy-
ment situation may be determined one
way or the other within a few days.
There were indications to this effect
today after Chairman King Of the
Senate District Committee had spent
more than an hour In conference with
Budget Director Lewis Douglas. to whom
Congress intrusted the power OF de-
Gliding whether the Commissioners can
spend at this time $1.500000 OF gas
tax money and $635.000 OF water rent
collections conditionally authorized IN
the current appropriation act.
King Withholds Statement.
Senator King refrained this afternoon
from making any statement as to what
he learned during his visit to the Bud
get Bureau. He would not comment
on what the final decision may be re-
garding the gas tax and water funds
beyond the general observation that
within a day or two the situation WILL
be cleared up" The Senator discussed
District problems generally and indi-
Gated he found the budget director
sympathetic and considerate."
The jobs of approximately 700 work
ers, some of whom are already laid
OF. while others are facing the same
prospect, hinge on what Is finally done
regarding the gas tax and water fund
question. In the Water Department
456 men who had to be laid Oh in July
because OF lack Of funds could be put
back to work If the available revenues
are released by the budget director for
Water Department improvements.
In the Highway Department there are
$50 workers who could be kept busy
If the gas tax money becomes avail
able Some Of these were furloughed
recently and others are scheduled for
a lay-ofi.
Bridge Question Involved.
Involved in the gas tax fund also
Is the question whether the work Of
replacing the old Calvert Street
Bridge can be undertaken, Congress
having stipulated that s575, 900 of the
gas tax surplus was to be used to begin
the new bridge this year If the budget
director gives his approval TO the
expenditure
Both the gas tax and water funds are
made up entirely of money collected
from District taxpayers and cannot be
used for any other purposes. The law
provides that these funds. which are
kept separately from the citys general
revenues, must be used for Highway
and Water Department purposes re-
spectively.
The Commissioners early in the Sum-
mer made formal application to the
Budget Bureau for permission to use
all the gas tax authorization and $500
900 of the water fund Senator Kings
conference with the budget director to-
day was the elimination Of efforts he
has been making for several weeks il

The next step in the program proba-
bly, will be establishment Of credits
amounting to s50.000.000 or more for
Russian purchases of cotton. copper
and railroad supplies in this country.
Suggestions that the deposit guaran-
tee law might be deferred brought q
strong inner reaction on administration
officials here
A check showed congressional leaders
ardently demanding that the law be
carried out. Sentiment for guarantee
appeared to be as strong in Congress
as when the law was passed.
The O'Connor speech to the
bankers convention should be in
terpreted in the light OF that TN
spoken congressional opinion. 1t
,Dds not as harsh as it sounded.
The controller said the bankers
would have to take the guarantee. but
his hearers also got the impression
that requirements will be no sitter
than necessary.
That will be the policy.

NEW YORK. September ll.-A
charge Of blufing again5t New York
stock brokers who threaten to conduct
their business in New Jersey to escape
stock transfer taxes today caused Rich
ard Whitney, president Of the New York
Stock Exchange. to reveal that Newark
has been actively bidding for US to
move"
Whitney's assertion followed an in
terview given out by Paul Blapshard,
executive director of the City Affairs
brokers are blufing when they talk of
moving to New Jersey. 1t would cost
them more to move than it is worth,
and when they got to New Jersey some
one would start move to tax them for
the h<nefit Of New Jerseys unem-
ployed."
Maybe they know more about what
New Jersey viii do than we." Whitney
said in reply
Blanshard's interview was given out
just after Whitney addressed an open
hearing OF the Board of Estimate on
the new tax proposals Of Samuel Un-
termyer, the citys financial adviser
Whitney was the first witness of the
hearing. He declared excessive taxes
would drive the securities business from
the State.
Excessive taxation can and will
drive the security business out of the
State of New York" Whitney said. Il!
this business leaves New York, then the
New York Stock Exchange will, in
effect, cease to exist 1t is not a ques-
tioh Of the Stock Exchange moving
away from New York 1t is solely q
question OF whether the city, by i'm
posing prohibitive taxes, will drive the
stock market away from the city and
leave the Stock Exchange an empty and
unproductive shell"
Whitney warned the board that
adoption OF the taxes and destruction
Of the security market in New York
City would cause the unemployment
Of hundreds Of thousands Of persons
He said it was conservatively esti-
mated that the New York Stock Ex-
change and its members pay more thar
$50 900 900 a year in wages And that
in addition they pay untold millions
more in rentals. fees for telephone anc
telegraph service. interest and taxes
The Stock Exchange head said that
1t was no answer to say the taxes were
temporary. adding that one month OF
destructive taxation will suffice tc
drive the security business out of the
State of New York"
In addition to stock taxes. the pro.
gram would put taxes on taxicab fares
and others and increase water rates
