Plan Outlined for Control of Finances of City

The director of finance should
be the final authority on whether
or not funds are available to pay
claims andy subject to interpreta-
ton by the Department of Law,
should be the final judge as to
their conformance to law.
Recommendation. - That the
District Council of the, District
of Columbia and the United
States General Accounting Of
flee be authorized to enter into
a contractual agreement whereby
the General Accounting Office
will perform a poStaudit of Dis
trict accounts and fiscal affairs
of the type normally made by
public accounting firms. The ex-
penses of this postaudit should
be paid by the District and the
reports thereon made to the Dis
trict Council and to the Joint
Standing Committee of Congress
on the District of Columbia. =
Authority to Borrow Money.
Recommendation. - That. by
majority vote of the District
Council the District will be au-f
thorized to issue tax-anticipation
notes for revenue purposes in any
fiscal year, providing the notes
are completely iiuuidated within
that fiscal year.
Also, if approved by three
fourths OF the entire District
Council and by majority OF the
qualified voters of the District in
a referendum. the District may
issue long term bonds for specific
capital improvements, provided
the total value Of such bonds
does not exceed 10 per cent OF
the assessed value OF taxable land
and improvements exclusive OF
that owned by the Federal Gov
ernment and provided that there
shall be included in the budget
for any year funds sufficient to
pay interest on all outstanding
bonds and redemption OF those
maturing within that fiscal year.
No obligations of the District OF
Columbia should be issued, in ad-
dition to those authorized herein,
except in the event Of an emer-
gency. ** In the future, except
for provisions recommended here
In, the Federal Government
should not make loans to the
District for any purpose except
for advances and grants-in-aid
similar to those made to States
without specific authorization OF
Congress bV statute.

be furnished by the District Fed
eral agencies based upon the cost
Of such services, except that no
services by the District should be.
included in the formula which are
available without additional cost
, to property taxpayers in the Dis
trict and no special property or
improvement. assessments may be
added.
The net Federal contribution as
determined by the above. formula
should be included in the Legis-
lative Appropriation Act and the
District should be notified by thef
Bureau of the Budget on or before
December / preceding the next
fiscal year of the net amount.
The District should be author
izeo to use this net amount as
anticipated revenue in its budget.
During any year OF operation
the Federal Bureau of the Budget
should be informed by the agen-
cies concerned of the actual serv-
Ice given to or received from the
District and, in the formula for
the following year, the Bureau OF
the Budget should make the
necessary compensating adjust
ments as determined by actual
cost and add to or subtract from
the net amount indicated by the
formula.
In order to apply the formula
here suggested, it will be neces-
sary that all Federal agencies
providing services to the District
and all District agencies provid-
ing services to the Federal Gov
ernment be fully supported in
their respective appropriation
acts because, actually. no money
will change hands, and agencies
now partly supported by rev.
enues, such as st. Elizabeths. will
have little revenue. In order
that District taxpayers may have
a complete picture OF the cost OF
District government, the value OF
Federal services rendered as de-
termined in each instance by the
Federal Bureau Of the Budget
should be included in the Dis
trict budget on memorandum
basis. Similarly, the value OF
District services received by the
Federal Government should be
included in the Federal budget
on a memorandum basis.

concurrent resolution. could de-
lete or reduce any item in the
budget which, as amended, would
become effective the following

Recommendation.-Th hat the
Federal Bureau of the Budget

priation by the Federal Govern
ment for general support OF the
District government by the fol-
lowing formula:

THE COMMON DEFENSE
WATCH OUT FOR THIS LINE
by Rev. VIM. C.. Kernon


Watch our for Foscist-brond propaganda line which
appears in two parts and like this first Goods
Americans being smeored ontSemitc because they
oppose Communism and second, IF you fight ontiSemt
ism you must be Communist"
Any way these propositions are viewed they add up
to the old trick effectively employed by the Nozis
for orousng prejudice against the Jews by pcturng them
falsely as responsible for Communism Hitler used it,
GoebbeIs used it and the Germans got .Foscsm. Con
some people in this country use it without intending that
we get Foscism too?
Now the Foscists know as we all d. that there are
countless good and loyal Americans opposed to Commun-
ism who not coed onti-Semtc President Truman is
opposed to Communism No has called him onti-
Semitic. Secretary of State Marshall is opposed to Com
munism No has called him anti Semitic Arch
bishop Cushing Bishop Manning and Mr. Bernard Boruch
are opposed to Communism No one has ever coed them
onti-Semitic.
1t, as the Foscsts argue, people labeled ontSe-
mc because they oppose Communism, how be thot
so many Americans be onti-Communst but in no way
subject to the charge of ontSemtsm? 1t is because the
Foscists wrong 1t is because loyal Americans oppose
Communism for the evil it is They do not use opposition
to Communism excuse for attacking the Jews on
trumped-up charges
On the other hond, there are people in this country
who say they opposed to Communism and who properly
are called ontiSemtc They are labelled tiSemitic
not because they supposed to be against Communism
but because they spread propaganda in this country de-
signed for orousng prejudice against Americans of Jewish
origin. These are the facts in the case
To fight Communist is the duty of every oyoI Ameri
can But to opposition to Communism, as Hitler did,
as an excuse for popogotng onSemtism and Foscsm is
PesPcoble, nexcusoble, and unAmercon LoyoI Ameri-
cans will fight thot too!
