to the States for loss of revenue on
tax-exempt Government property
Senator Overton pointed out there
are already on the statute books laws
laying down various formulas for
compenSating certain States in
which timber lands. grazing lands or
other Government property creates
unusual problems. These formulas,
he explained, vary according to the
character of the problem in each
case and that no one formula could
be applied uniformly.
The House followed the advice of
Chairman Collins of the Appropria-
tions Subcommittee in charge of the
District supply bill in refusing to
approve a s7,5OO,0OO Federal pay
ment He told his colleagues the
House had spoken" on a number of
occasions as to the adequacy of S.
600, 900 payment by the Federal Gov
ernment, and mentioned the Mapes
report of some years ago, which
recommended $5,OO0,0OO figure
He also called attention to the more
recent Jacobs report. which he said
contained formula for adjusting
the fiscal relations problem, under
which the District would have re-
ceived $2225,0 ,000 And as a climax
to his argument he read a letter
the Budget Bureau sent to Com
missioner Hazen June last oppos-
ing the Overton plan.
Asks Roll Call Vote.
Representative Collins asked for
a roll call vote. He had predicted in
advance that not more than 10
members would be recorded in favor
Of $7,750,O00 Federal payment
The IL who voted for that amount
follow:
Democrats -, Representative An
derson of Missouri, Brooks of Louisi-
ana. D'Alesandro of Maryland, Hart
OF New Jersey, Hunter of Ohio,
Sasscer of Maryland, Smith of Vir-
ginia and Walter of Pennsylvania.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Maine,
Holmes of Massachusetts,, Oliver of
Maine and Pittenger of Minnesota.
Prior to voting on the amount of
the Federal payment, the House ac-
cepted number of Senate amend
ments to the appropriation bill, but
rejected number of others. Those
turned down we're sent back to the
Senate. along with the amendment
relating to the lump-sum payment.
The House agreed to the Senate
plan to place the National Guard
Armory on property already owned
by the Government at the end Of
East Capitol street instead of on q
new site in the Southwest section.
Grant Library Contract Authority.
1t also approved Senate amend
ment restoring necessary authority
to enable the District Commissioners
to enter into contracts to start the
new public library building on part
of the Municipal Center site between
John Marshall place and Sixth street
on Pennsylvania avenue. The limit
of cost is $1,118,OO0.
Major items still in disagreement
include the 5000 900 Senate increase
in the House 5000, 900 relief fund and
more than 1869 900 added by the
Senate to the school building pro-
gram.
The House, however, approved a
Senate amendment to pay the firm
of Griffenhagen & Associates. which
developed the latest plan for re-
organizing the District Government,
an additional $12 500 for work "here-
tofore" or hereafter" performed.

Maj. Donovan Warns
OF Action il Fiscal
Bill Fails
Continuing Resolution
Held Necessary and
Must Fix Tax Rotes

District Budget OfIicer Daniel ].
Donovan today warned the Com
missioners that, In the event of the
failure Of the District appropriation
bill and the need for a continuing
resolution to provide funds for the
District operation for any period
less than a full year, this resolution
must specify tax rates before tax
bills can be sent out.
He made his ruling on the basis
OF language in the Appropriation Act
Of 1923, in which the authority of
the Commissioners to fix the tax
rate is definitely linked to state
ments concerning appropriations
duly made" by Congress. AL
though the usual continuing reso-
luton would carry no such state
ment, Maj. Donovan said specific
fixing Of the tax rate in the reso-
luton by Congress in the case of
both the real estate and tangible
personal property taxes would be
necessary before bills on these items
could be sent to local taxpayers.
District officials made haste in
acquainting congressional leaders
with this ruling.
Provisions of Act.
The pertinent part of the 1923 Ap-
preparation Act states: And for
the purpose of defraying such ex-
penses of the District of Columbia
as Congress may from time to time
appropriate for there hereby is levied
for each and every fiscal year sue
ceeding June 30, 1927 (the date on
which Congress ordered the District
to go on a cash-payment basis as
to its relationship with the United
States Treasury. tax at such rate
on the aforesaid property subject
to taxation in the District of Colum-
bia as will produce money enough
to enable the District to pay prompt
ly and in full all sums directed by
Congress to be paid by the District
and for which appropriation has
been duly made"
Concerned Over Passage.
The Commissioners were seriously
concerned today over the possible
failure OF the appropriation bill.
since 1T would mean sudden and
drastic changes in plans for the
development of the District. Un-
der continuing resolution no new
construction of any kind could be
started and even some of those
now under way might have to be
halted.
A continuing resolution. of course.
would mean temporary loss at
least of all the new school items
proposed by the Senate. as well as
those new construction items on
which the Senate and House con-
ferees are in agreement.
The Police Department would lose
the Is additional policemen, and
plans for the new District Armory
and the new main building for the
free Public Library would be aban-
doned for the time.
In addition, the adoption of q
continuing resolution would create
some queer developments as to pro-
posed changes in the District setup
The life of the District Playground
Department.. for instance, would be
extended for the duration of the
continuing resolution plan, whereas
the House proposed and the Senate
conferees finally have agreed to the
transfer of the departments func-
tions to the Community Center De-
partment of the public schools.

LOS ANGELES, June 28.-
Poverty, immigration laws and a de-

Da|adier Foresees
Gravest Crisis in
70 Years for France
5000, 900 Troops Across
Borders, Parliament
Told in Adjournment
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, June 28-Blunt-spoken
Premier Edouard Daladier ad-
journed the French Parliament for
its summer vacation last night with
the warning that the gravest inter-
national crisis "in 20 years" faced
France with 5000, 900 soldiers across
her frontiers.
He said the troop concentrations
were more important than ever
before" and did not count semi
military units"
The Premier apparently referred
to the troops of Germany, Italy and
Spain and by "semi-military units"
meant the German S. S. and 8. A.
organizations and the Fascist militia
of Italy.
The sudden adjournment, which
took most deputies by surprise,
created an uproar in the chamber
which had expected the session to
continue through this week and
possibly next since several impor-
tant questions were pending.
Amazed at Pessimism.
Deputies who had received their
gas masks just before reading Of the
closing decree expressed amazement
at the extreme pessimism of the
Premier's speech delivered in
heavy, measured tone.
AT the Senate, where M Daladier
later read the same decree, he was
equally grave and was heard by the
Senators in dead silence.
I'VE are in the hands of events
and it is possible that the parlia-
mentary vacation will be more brief
than those who are protesting
| against closing the session think"
he said.
Some Deputies said this referred
to the constitutional requirement
that Parliament must act on any
declaration of war.
What We ask you" he said, "is
to leave the government the liberty
OF movement that is essential at the
! present moment"
The premier painted gloomy
picture of dangers surrounding
France in reply to a series of uues-
tions posed by Louis Frossard on the
use the government planned to make
OF its decree powers during the sum-
mer recess.
100000 on Frontiers.
| On our frontiers there are three
million men without counting semi
military units" he declared in a low
voice. And in the interior they are
working frantically in factories while
we receive announcements of con-
centrations OF troops more important
than ever before along our frontiers
IN the guise Of maneuvers."
Intense foreign propaganda is
being waged ito separate Frenchmen
and disrupt the French and British
solidarity so indispensable to the
peace Of the world"
He intimated that if France had
not mobilized large part of her
reserves Europe might already have
been at war.
Two classes of reserves under the
colors are absolutely necessary if
France is to be protected against all
eventualities.
Although he promised that France
was ready for peaceful collaboration
he added she was resolved. and the
world must know it, to resist with all
her force at any attempt at domina-
tion."
