Thot City's SoIveney

PLANNING AND CIVIC GROUP
urges raising U. S. share of D. C.
expenses. Page B-1
BY DON S. WARREN.

Citing the revenue crisis facing
the District due to great boosts
in budget demands, the Commits
sioners yesterday rebelled against
charging of any portion of the
proposed 1,500-bed hospital CEN
ter to municipal taxpayers.
In lengthy report to Chairman
Mcmillan OF the House District
Committee, Commissioner Joh n
Russell Young protested that Dis
trict taxpayers now are paying
about 100000 annually for the
care of the sick and that heavy ad-
ditional outlays are contemplated
for Improvements to District hos
pitals.
He renewed warnings that if the
Government pay raise bill and
other proposed measures are adopt
ed, the only way the District can
remain solvent is for Congress to
order a material" increase in the
Federal share of the expenses of
the Capital, over the present $6,-
100000 lump sum, or a drastic
increase in District taxes.
May Defer Action.
The position taken by the Com
missioners will be laid before the
District Committee tomorrow at Its
first session under the chairman
ship of Representative Mcmillan
Democrat, of South Carolina. when
he calls up for consideration the
Federal Works Agency plan for
financing the projected hospital
center. The issue may be deferred
for further hearing.
There is wide agreement in Con-
gress that a modern hospital cen
ter is needed to replace poorly plan
ned old private hospitals here, but
the FWA financial plan differs
sharply from the terms of the bill
passed eight months ago by the
Senate. One major difference is
that while the Senate bill required
the participating hospitals to re-
pay the United States one-third of
the construction costs, the FWA
plan would transfer this burden to
the District taxpayers generally.
Commissioner Young made the
additional points that heavy per-
centages of the patients of the nom
profit private hospitals here had
come from Maryland and Virginia.
This he stressed as special illus
tration of the injustice" of requir-
ing the District to participate in the
cost of the projected private hos
pital center.
He mentioned also that the 25-
acre site contemplated for the CEN
ter would be taken off the District
tax rolls, thereby indirectly pro-
viding an annual District contribu-
tion to the center, through the loss
OF taxes.
Under the FWA proposals the

Truman 'UnreaIistic'
In Fact-Finding Plan,
Reuther Testifies
Senate Hearing Told
He Questions Chief
Executives Judgment
BY the Associated Press.

Walter P. Reuther, vice presi-
dent of the CIO United Auto
Workers, told Senators yesterday
that President Truman was mot
being realistic" when he proposed
to settle strikes with fact-finding
boards.
Il don't question his Intentions,
fMr. Reuther told the Senate Labor
Committee. Il question his judg-
ment."
The committee is considerine
Legislation for appointment of labo,
dispute fact-finding boards with
power to subpoena company books
1t would forbid strikes during q
D-day period while the boards
worked.
| Mr.. Reuther was asked by Sena-
tor Ellender, Democrat of Louisiana
what he thought of the idea minus
the cooling-off provision.
Gays 3 OutilCu.
q Mr.. Reuther first said there woulo
be no harm in it," then expressed
the opinion that the off stage pres
ence of a fact-finding procedure
night impede preliminary efforts to
settle a strike.
THE trouble in the General Mo-
tors case and in the steel case is
that collective bargaining has not
been tried" he said.
Mr.. Reuther spent the greater part
of three hours attacking General
Motors for what he called refusal
to bargain" and declaring there is
afoot Incorporation conspiracy
to smash organized labor"
He said the public is hungry fol-
consumer goods and the corporations
thought this a good time" to crack
down on labor unions.
Mr.. Reuther told the committee
the only thing that can end the GIN
strike is a realization on the part of
company officials that the strikers
are not going back to work until it
is settled fairly and justly"
Recalls Scale-Down Offer.
General Motors, he said, turned
down a one-cent- hour pay boost
proposal with "disgraceful and
scandalous" language.
The union has gone back to its
demand for 80 per cent wage in
crease, Mr.. Reuther said, but he con-
tended it had always been willing to
lessen its demands if they meant
higher prices for automobiles.
"We told them that If General
Motors was unable to raise pay
without increasing prices, we would
scale down our requests Mr..
Reuther testified. "They said, we
won't talk about it,
1--WE sat with them for 90 days,
with officials of the corporation
with their feet up on the table and
reading magazines.
"We asked them about a 1-cent
an hour raise without a price in
crease. They said no. They said
prices are none of your damned
business.
Mr.. Reuther quoted what he said
were the vulgar words in which
the company officials compared the
interest they had in the magazines
to the union arguments.
Senator Donnell, Republican, of
Missouri, broke in: "How much of
this is argument and how much
is fact? Did General Motors use
that language2"
Mr.. Reuther declared that the
official transcript so proved. He
