FISCAL RELATIONS
PLAN MEETS DELAY
Senator Thomas Still Wait.
ing Joint Hearing Move by
House Subcommittee.

The plan Of Senator Thomas of Okla
homa for working out a permanent So
luton of the annually recurring con-
troversy over fiscal relations between
the Federal and District governments
apparently has struck a Snag in the
House Subcommittee on Appropriations.
Several months ago Senator Thomas,
in letter to Representative Cannon of
Missouri, chairman of the Appropria-
tions Subcommittee of the House, which
handles the District supply bill. sug-
gested that joint session be held with
the Senate Appropriations Subcommit-
tee, in an effort to agree upon some
fixed policy of fiscal relations. Senator
Thomas Is still waiting for an invitation
to get together, but getting more dis
couraged every day.
Thomas suggestion to his committee
when it meets. but he has not yet called
meeting. He has indicated, however,
that the group would hold a meeting
some time in February. when the agri-
cultural appropriation bill gets into the
House. At that time. he said, the date
would be fixed for beginning hearings
on the Districts 1885 estimates and
consideration given the Thomas pro-
posal
1t happens that Cannon and another
member of his subcommittee, Repre-
sentative Blanton of Texas, also are
serving on the Appropriations Subcom-
mittee in charge of the agriculture sup
ply bill, and have not had time to turn
attention to the District estimates
The delay. however, has discouraged
Senator Thomas. He thinks the COM
mittee is not sympathetic with the plan,
but plans to renew his request unless
there is soon some response from the
Cannon group.

ment Of the difference in rates should
the commission win out In its move for
the 10 per cent cut.

impounded fund is being increased at

month.
