relations officer, said.
District Fire Chief Stephen Por-
ter, who was in charge OF the Dis

arism.

Citizens Federation
Again lndorses
on-Hunter Plan
Speedy Appointment Of
Utilities Commission
Chairman Urged

The Federation of Citizens As
sociations last night reiterated its
support of the Overton- Hunter
plan for more equitable Federal
contribution to District expenses.
The plan, originally advanced a
year or so ago by Senator Overton
of Louisiana, and recently taken up
by Representative Hunter of Ohio.
would compute the Federal finan-
cial obligation on the basis of the
proportion of Federally- owned prop
erty in the District to the whole
District area. 1t has been estimated
this would net the city 1000, GOO
national payment as compared with
the present $6,000,000 lump sum.
Previous action by the Federation
had been only on the original
Overton proposal. The delegates
planned to be represented at hear
ings called on the plan beginning
Thursday.
HdL DTlfc lhuOESCu.
In view of the emergency caused
by crowded docket of public utili-
ties matters, speedy appointment
of a new chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission was called for
by the delegates. The situation is
caused by the recent death of Riley
Elgen and the failure of President
Roosevelt to appoint a successor to
Richmond Keech when he became
corporation counsel. This leaves the
commission with Engineer Commits
sioner David McCoach, jr., as the
only member. The, delegates also
voted to send letter of coincidence
to Mrs. Elgen.
Other matters acted on included
one favoring INSTRUMENTATION
program. Another recommended
that guards at Federal buildings be
strengthened to prevent theft of
records, and a half dozen proposals
dealt with the public schools.
Wilson College Plans Sought.
Reports by Chairman H. G. Phil
lips of the Education Committee
we're adopted reiterating support of
a budget item for plans for a new
Wilson Teachers College, and for
legislation requiring resident stu
dents to pay a fair amount of tut
ton in District schools. The dele
gates, on recommendation of the
committee, refused to indorse a
proposal to transfer the District re-
pair shop from the jurisdiction of
the Commissioners to the Board of
Education but recommended in
stead that the school repair work be
given priority and especially during
holiday periods.
Additional appropriations for ex-
pansion of the recreation program of
the Community Center-Playground
Department were recommended as
were funds for landscaping school
grounds. The last recommendation
also asked that money be provided
with each new school for proper
landscaping.

Joint Hearings
On Lump Sum
Are Planned
Moy Open Thursday;
Dirksen Opposes
Overton Formula
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Tentative arrangements were
made yesterday to begin joint con-
gressional hearings Thursday on the
Overton- Hunter bills providing a
formula for fixing the amount of
the annual Federal payment to-
ward District expenses.
The hearings will be held by the
Fiscal Affairs Subcommittees of the
Senate and House District Commit
tees whose chairmen - Senator
Overton, Democrat, of Louisiana and
Representative Hunter, Democrat,
of Ohio-are sponsoring the pro-
posed legislation.
Joint sessions were suggested by
the House subcommittee to facili-
tate action on the formula before
Congress begins consideration of the
1912 District appropriation bill.
Senator Overton said he personally
approved the plan and thought it
would be helpful"
Aid Bill May Cause Delay.
Mr.. Hunter is anxious to begin
1llSo 4llo1 OCiAoOOl wv
ton indicated the only interference
to such an arrangement would be
continued Senate debate on the ad-
ministration' lease-lend bill which
might prevent some of the men,
bers of his subcommittee from at
tending.
"I hope we can start the joint
haoI.iyoOc NV
declared. And I would like for Sem
ator Overton at that time to re-
view the fiscal relations problem
here and explain the fundamental
principles of the formula which he
conceived and sponsored in the last
Congress. Such program will give
members of both the Senate and
House subcommittee a thorough
under landing of his ideas for ad-
jJtsting the perennial dispute over
how much the United States should
pay toward support of the District"
The formula would measure the
amount of the Federal payment on
the percentage of land acreage in
the District required for national
purposes Its adoption, it is esti-
mated. would increase the present
annual S5,00O,0O0 lump-sum pay
ment to approximately 100000 in
the coming fiscal year beginning
July
Dirksen Opposes Formula.
Although not objecting to the
Joint hearings, Representative Dirk
sen, Republican. of Illinois, men,
Der of the House subcommittee, said
he would oppose the formula.
twill set precedent that wotnd
bankrupt the Federal Government
he declared.
Mr.. Dirksen explained if the for
mula is adopted, States, counties and
municipalities which have large
areas removed from the tax rolls
by Government acquisition might
make claims for Federal payments.
THE formula is fundamentally
wrong" he said. "Once Congress
sets such a precedent, it win have
every county in the Nation asking
for payments for post offices and
other Federal-owned land exempted
from taxation. The sovereignty Of
the Federal Government must be
kept intact or this country will
go bankrupt"
Mr.. Dirksen, however, said he did
not oppose a fair" lump-sum pay
ment by the Federal Government
to the District because of the "pe-
culiar" relationship here between
the two. He did not indicate, how
ever, whether he believed the pres
ent S6,000,000 Federal payment is
"fair"
