Federal Pay Increase
Brings Rental Boost
For NCHA Tenants

Some Federal employees who re-
joiced over recent IA per cent pay
raises will be doling out more rent
money after September l if they
live in National Capital Housing
Authority projects.
The fact that Uncle Sam suppeo
their incomes has nothing to dc
with the potential rent increases
Tenants not working for the Gov
ernment also face rent raises. II
simply is policy in the NCHA, which
subsidies part of the rent for low
income earners, to increase the rents
as the tenants income expands.
John Ihlder, NCHA director. did
not know how many renters would
be affected, pending a thorough sur
vey, but it was estimated that several
hundred would be paying more rent
this autumn.
About 80 per cent of the NCHA
tenants who originally benefited
from the subsidization plan since
have moved up the economic ladder
and are paying full rental-$33 fol
a small apartment and $42 for q
large place. About 1900 of the 5000
renters still are sharing their renta
costs with the Government ane
something less than half of these
are Federal employees.
All these subsidized renters will
be checked to determine if higher
wages call for higher rents. Mr.
Ihlder gave an example of how tn,
grading is conducted:
Government workers who earned
81 200 before the salary increase,
now receive 81 1888 annually. At thi.
level the rent is increased 81 fol
each S. added to the family incom,
until the full rent is reached. St
the worker earning $188 more pe
year from the salary increase woult
hand over $38 of that to the Gov.
ernment landlord.
In the higher income brackets tn,
ratio of rent increases based or
salary increases becomes larger
until at top level the renter will pa,
$3.50 for each additional IS income
When the tenants income reache
$1,000 or $4,000, he theoretically !;
able to pay the full economic rem
and, also theoretically, moves ou
from under the NCHA's wing. Righ
now there is no place to move, se
the higher income group stays on
paying maximum rents.

Proposed Sales Tax
For D. {. Favored by
Many Lawmakers

Varied reaction was expressed at
the Capitol today to the proposed
new tax program for Washington.
Acting Chairman Healy of the
House District Committee said that
generally speaking, he did not like
a sales tax but that such a levy
excepting food, was less objection
able"
He thought a sales tax would
make it tough on local merchants. y
He recognized, however, the need
for additional money for the Dis
trict, and said the new program
should have careful study.
Mr.. Healy is a member Of the
Fiscal Affairs subcommittee of the
House District Committee.
Abernethy Supports Tax.
Another member of this subcom.
mittee, Representative Abernethy
Democrat, of Mississippi said he was
a strong advocate of the sales tai
based on its success in his home
State. He realized that there always
was initial objection to imposing
such a tax, especially from mer.
chants.
Representative Griffths, Repub
lican, OF Ohio also a member of tn,
District Committee said a sales ia,
works very well in my home State
II Is a fine way to raise revenue,
he asserted.
Representative Dirksen, Republi
can, of Illinois, a member of tn
Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, wa
said to be standing by his recen
declaration that a sales tax would b.
very good levy for the District
He recently told The Star he for
merly had been opposed to a sale
tax here, but after reconsideration
he now favors one.
Representative Stefan, Republi.
can, of Nebraska, a member of tn,
District Subcommittee on Appro.
priations of the House Appropria.
tions Committee, predicted tha
congressional sentiment generally
was that "a sales tax hits the poor.
He predicted that a sales tax woult
have hard time getting through
Congress unless the real estate ia,
was increased here.
Acting Chairman Hoey of thu
Senate District Committee wa.
rather noncommittal, but said ther,
was no doubt that more money wa.
