an admission on the part of Congress
that it is incapable of handling the
Districts affairs and the action proves
that it is also unwilling to permit the
citizens to do the job themselves.
There should have been no necessity
for this defeated resolution. 1t would
never have been thought of if mem

carried out their obligations to the

1T is my understanding that the

The revenue measure, which is in

Refusal of the House thus far to

member of the House District Com

eating change in the organic law
that would give residents of Washing
ton the right to spend their own tax
money without congressional DICTATOR
ship"
Shafer's statement follows:
Refusal by Congress to authorize
the District of Columbia to borrow
funds from the Federal Treasury pend
ing receipt of taxes proposed in the
District revenue bill. now caught in
the legislative log jam, is a serious re-
Election on the ability of Congress to
legislate for the National Capital
Defeat of the bill has convinced me
that Congress should Immediately take
steps to give the residents of Wash
ington the right to spend their own
tax money without congressional die
tatorship.
Il was opposed to that philosophy
when l came here. Mondays demon
stration in the House convinced me I
was wrong
Would Retain Autonomy.
Il do not believe Congress should
surrender autonomy over the District.
Rather, believe it should shed itself
OF task which manifestly has proved
distasteful and which most members
have demonstrated they know too little
about to perform successfully.
This could be done by enlarging
the District Commissioners powers to
give them final authority over a vast
amount of detail which now irritates
members of Congress, sent here to
perform other duties. I would even
favor giving them sole budgetary
