constitute fair analysis of the
bill"
Senator Burton declared one of
the prime objectives of the COM
promise bill was to provide housing
for those in the lowest income
groups. He pointed out one of the
major faults of the old District
Alley Dwelling Act was that it
failed to do this.
Answering criticisms by Mr.. Bates
and Mr.. Locher that this would not
be accomplished because low rent
housing was defined as homes rent
ing for $13 month, not counting
cost of utilities, Senator Burton ex-
planned this figure was stated in the
bill as the maximum" that could be
charged. Therefore, he said, it is
implicit III the bill that rents lower
than such a maximum would be
ordered, to fit the needs of the low
income families.
The agencies involved" he said
most certainly would have the re-
sponsibility of fixing rents in this
Held to meet the demonstrated re-
quirements. That was our purpose. -
He said he could see no reason
why action on the specific District
bill should be held up until Con-
gress adopted a national program
for housing and slum redevelop-
ment. Denying haste" in action
he cited the months devoted by the
subcommittee he headed to personal
inspection of blighted areas and
public and private low-cost hous-
ing here, and the near six months
OF public hearings on the problem.

Maryland 10 Find Out
If Income Tax Can
Be Cut, 0'Conor Says
Sy the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 27.-Gov
O'Conor disclosed today that i'm
mediate steps will be taken to de-
termine the possibility of reducing
State income taxes.
The chief executive announced
he is asking the Board of Public
Works to review present revenues
and estimates of anticipated re-
ceipts, in the hope that further
slash may be made on taxes affect
ing 1945 calendar year incomes.
The Governors announcement
followed his statement to the civic
clubs at Frederick yesterday when
he asserted that tax reductions
should be attempted by all levels
of Government.
Gov. OConor explained legal au-
thority is vested in the Board OF
Public Works to utilize any surplus
in the States general funds, in ex-
cess of its working fund of $4,000, ,00C
for any of the three following pur-
poses:
l. Reduction in income taxes.
2. Reduction of property tax.
3. Capital expenditures in the
postwar construction program.
The chief executive said he and
every other member of the Public
Works Board should give considera-
ton to the possibility of immediate
reduction, now that uncertainties
relating to the war effort have been
eliminated.
He declared that he would ask the
States fiscal officers to review their
estimates of receipts during the next
year, so Board of Public Works would
have the latest information as to
revenues.
Il am suggesting to the Board
of Public Works." Gov. O'Conor
said, that the disposition of an
indicated excess in the surplus ac-
count be deferred, pending a care
full study and analysis of all esti-
mates of revenues and expendi-
lures. AS a result, the board can
have available any excess upon
which to act in reducing taxes
just as soon as the entire financial
picture is clarified"
Already the State administration
has brought about the transfer of
Sc, ,200,000 to the postwar construc-
ton fund. This fund, supplemented
by additional monies already ear
marked for postwar construction,
brings the State total now in hand
to more than. 100000, dedicated
to new construction projects. In
addition, the Legislature author
lied a bond issue Of $4,625, 900.

House Group Backs
Pensions TO Congress
And Other Officials

Inclusion Of members of Congress
and all elected or appointlVe officials
in The Government retirement sys-
tenn was recommended today by the
Randolph Subcommittee of the
House Civil Service Committee.
The group. concluding extensive
hearings on the question, agreed to
back plan under which a member
of Congress would have to serve for
at least five years before he would
become eligible for retirement,
Chairman Randolph announced.
There was some sentiment in the
committee to make the measure ef-
fective after the end of this Con-
gress, instead of now, but apparently
this question was left to be deter
mined in the full committee.
New Bill by Vinson.
A new bill. dropped into the hopper
today by Representative Vinson,
Democrat, of Georgia was given the
general support of the subcommittee
Mr.. Randolph said. This provides
that member of Congress seeking
admission to the retirement system
must make deposit of at least
$4,000 to become eligible.
Also, it provides that his annuity
shall be measured only on the basis
of the back years of service for
which the member of Congress or
elective official makes his annual
contributions to the retirement fund
Mr. Randolph said he would not
ask for action on the measure by
the full Civil Service Committee
until the hearings had been printed.
Hearings were concluded today
with Endorsement of the general pro-
posal by Frank l.. Yates, assistant
controller general, who declared
adoption of the plan had been too
long delayed
Perhaps it is embarrassing to
members of Congress to ask that
they be included in the retirement
system" he said, but some time it
must be done
Urges 10-Year Requirement.
He recommended that Congress
specify that member must have
served at least 10 years before be-
coming eligible and that retirement
age be fixed at 60 years. He sug-
gested reduced annuity for mem
ber If the plan permits retirement
at a lesser age.
Mr.. Yates said he was entirely
in accord with the declaration of
President Truman that members of
Congress are grossly underpaid
and that there was a need for an
adequate retirement system for
them.

Doyle May Offer Bill.
To Provide 5 Million
For Child Centers

A bill providing s5,000,000 to
operate child care centers from Oc-
tober 81, the scheduled closing date,
through next June was expected
to be introduced in the House today
by Representative Doyle, Demo-
crat, of California.
Representative Doyle announced
he would introduce the bill after
the House Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee decided yester-
day it could not intercede in lad
ministrative" functions of the Fed
eral Works Administration. Mai
Gen. Philip G. Fleming, FWA ad-
ministrator. ordered Lanham Act
grants to the centers to be with
drawn October 81.
Il do not believe this committee s
action should be considered as final
and that all hope is lost Repre-
sentative Doyle said. Il intend to
keep these centers going if possible. "
Sees Necessity of Operation.
Representative Doyle said he be-
lieves it imperative" that the CEN
tiers operate at least until next
June. The s5,00Q,0OO appropriation
should be allocated among the 4s
States and the District on the basis
Of quotas allowed them under the
Lanham Act, he said.
Mothers working here for con-
tlnuation of the centers hailed
Representative Doyle's announce
ment as a "Godsend." They had
asked the House committee to hold
hearings on Gen. Flemings decision
and also have written to him, ask
ing him to reconsider. Gen. Flem-
ing's office said he as yet had not
received their letter nor any official
notification of the committees S
policy statement.
Mrs. Hunt Slated to Appear.
Mrs. Clyde Hunt, chairman of the
Parents Committee for Child Care.
meanwhile, was scheduled to appear
before the District Commissioners
today at l946-47 budget hearings to
ask that the centers be operated
under the public school budget in
1946-47.
The mothers hope to get either
more Lanham Act funds or money
under Representative Doyle's bill
to keep the centers open until June,
1916, and then District funds to
operate them until June, 1947, Mrs,
Hunt declared.
BY June, 1947, she said ''it will be
clear" whether the centers should
become a permanent part of the
schools or whether need for them
has ceased.

Is Completing Survey
On 40-Hour Week

The District Personnel Board is
completing its recommendations to
the Commissioners on what depart
ments or services of the District
government should be permitted to
work more than 40-hours a week.
The board, which is expected to
review requests of the Board OF
Public Welfare today for extension
of the work week, will make rec
concentrations, department by de-
partment, to the Commissioners
These recommendations if adopted
would go into effect for the pay
period beginning October 7.

ent, on more than a 40-hour week

sought an exemption from the 40
hour week, particularly for ward
and dietary services. The Board
of Public Welfare is expected to ask

stitutions, which have also expert
enced manpower shortage during

Department heads will still have
a chance to make a rebuttal to the
recommendations of the Personnel
Board before action is taken by the
Commissioners.
The board has acted in the light
of President Truman's communica-
ton of August % that "all depart
ments and agencies reduce their
administrative work week to the
basic 40 hours per week, unless such
reduction in hours would result in
a serious detriment to their essen
tial operations.
Chairman Walter L. Fowler of the
Personnel Board, who also is budget
officer, has advised department
heads that certain of the difficult
ties outlined by department heads
could be overcome by establishing
work week of other than Monday
through Fridays. thus assuring COM
plete daily coverage when necessary.
