The administration probably Will
ask for between s3000,000000 and
$4,000 100000 in new appropriations
to carry out the British-aid pro-
gram. as soon as the measure be-
comes law. according TO reliable
reports in congressional circles this
afternoon.
Following the regular weekly con-
ference between the President and
House and Senate leaders this
morning. it was made known that
an estimate for future aid money
would be ready before the end OF
the week. The leaders gave no in
dication how much would be asked
for but the above mentioned figures
were mentioned in other quarters.
Later, is was learned that tie

Chairman Vinson of the House

Meanwhile, the House paved the
way to complete congressional
action of. the leaSe-lend bill when
it agreed by unanimous consent to
take up the revised Senate draft
of the measure tomorrow. The
agreement allows two hours Of de-
bate. and only one motion. to con-

Whatever amount the President
asks for in the new estimate would
be in addition to the $1,000 900 900
worth of material assistance that
could be furnished out of past ap-
propriations under the terms of H.
r. 1776, to England or other nations
whose survival is deemed vital to
the United States. This. amount of
aid could be taken either from de-
fense articles already on hand, or
to be produced out of money already
appropriated.
If the President does ask for be-
tween three and four billions of fu-
ture appropriations, part of the total
is expected to be for contract au-
thorizations, and not all immediate
cash.

Earlier Story on Page AID
By JAMES E. CHINN.

After bitter debate, the House
this afternoon returned to the
District Committee for further
consideration a bill designed to
amend and clarity the local in
come tax law.
Action was taken at the request
of Chairman Hunter of the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the Dis
trict Committee, which had held
hearings on the proposed legisla-
ton. He made the request at the
conclusion of a series of charges
thai real estate taxes here are too
low, that rents are too high and
that the people of the Nations
Capita. ARE living in a land of
milk and honey"
Representative Hunter told the
House that several amendments it
had already adopted to the bill had
the effect of "scuttling" it. One of
these would have specifically eX-
empted from payment of the local
income tax all persons working here
who maintain a legal residence" in
any State or territory.
Yeas" Are Deafening.
There was no record vote on Mr.
Hunters motion that the bill be
recommitted to the District Com
mittee, but an almost deafening
chorus of yeas greeted the pro-
posal.
For nearly four hours the House
had debated the tax bill and pro-
posed amendments before Repre-
sentative Hunter asked that it be
returned to the committee for
further consideration.
In that time nearly a score of
members had taken the floor, most
of them for the purpose of making
an attack on the real estate and
gasoline taxes and the rentals
charged by landlords.
Members of the District Commit
tee, led by Chairman Randolph and
Representative DirkSen, Republican.
of Illinois. ranking minority member
endeavored to answer the criticism
and pleaded that the bill the House
had under consideration would be
fair" and equitable" to all persons
who earn an income here-non-resi-
dents as well as residents.
High d. c. Living Costs Hit.
Each time, however, they were met
with shouts:
Rents are the highest in the
United States"
Residents of the District want
the Federal Government to pay all
the expenses and allow everybody
who comes here to be overcharged. {"
The gasoline tax here should be
raised to cents a gallon

Administrators Duty

4 MERICA must prepare to defend herself
n against all enemies in order to perpet-
uate democracy. If this present administra-
ton is not courageous enough to defend the
boundaries and its insular possession without
the aid of England or any one else in the
whole world, it is time for them to quit and
leave the job in hands of courageous Ameri-
cans to defend the territories, Constitution
and the citizens of the United States.
Our forefathers fought to get rid of the
English tyrannies, and if we are not able to
defend ourselves and our possessions, it is
about time that we become colony of the
British Empire.
i am sure that the American people are
ready, willing and courageous enough to de-
fend our country against all foreign enemies
in the whole world for the preservation of
democracy in America.
We must keep out of any European en-
tanglements as George Washington preached.
Our first line of defense is in the United
States "AND NOT IN ENGLAND, EUROPE
OR CHINA"
The duty of this administration is to pre-
pare and complete the defense of the United
States of America before any help is extended
to England or any other nation.
