Use Of Curtis School
BY Hebrew Academy
Approved by zoners

The Board of Zoning Adjustment
late yesterday approved the appli-
cation of the Hebrew Academy OF
Washington to operate in the Cur
tis School Building, 1885 o street
NV.
The decision was announced after
the board finished hearing IS cases
of appeals from local zoning regu-
lations.
The appeal of the academy was
opposed by the Georgetown Citi-
zens' Association, zoning officials
said, because the citizens feel the
former public school building should
be used for recreation purposes.
The board also voted unanimously
to deny the appeal Of the Motion
Picture Association of America, Inc.
to build an addition at 1900 street
NV.
Officials said the character of the
improvements contemplated were
not in line with the present and
future development of the neigh
borhood.
Another denial was voted against
the appeal of the T. F. Schneider
Corp. to establish an adjunct to the
Cairo Hotel to sell souvenirs to high
school students.
Applications approved included
one which will permit the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to erect a. trans
former building at 3008 G street
Sc.
The National Institute of Com
merce and Technology, Inc, will be
permitted. under another action, to
establish q school Of air condition
ing and refrigeration at N80 Six

Hearing Slated Today
On Injunction Move
To Bar Higher Fares

A hearing was scheduled for this
afternoon before Justice r. Dickin-
son Let's of District Court on the
question of a preliminary injunction
to stop the Capital Transit Co.
from charging its increased fares,
pending final disposition of an in
junction suit brought by the Wash
ington Industrial Union Council
and its president, Henry Beitscher.
A motion for preliminary in
junction was filed yesterday. 1t
marked the third effort in little
more than a week to rescind the
increased fare.
The injunction suit itself, which
names both the Public Utilities
Commission and the Capital Transit
Co., as defendants, asks the court
to enjoin the PUG from allowing
the increased rates until the COM
mission has reconsidered its order
which put them into effect.
The new rates began May II. The
fares at that time were stepped up
from 81s cents per token to a
straight 10-cent charge, and the
price OF the weekly passes was
raised from SIPS to $50. under
the PUG order issued on May 8.
The suit contends the District
Code provides that any corporation
or individual affected by such an
order as the PUG fare rate increase
authorization may file an applica-
ton with the commission within 80
days requesting reconsideration.
The suit holds further that the
commission then is required to act
on such a request within another
30 days.
The council and its president re-

Rules Unit Votes
District Study
On Home Rule
But Reorganization
Is Main Objective.
Dirksen Declares

The House Rules Committee today
gave the green light to resolu-
ton authorizing the House District
Committee to go forward with its
Investigation Of possibilities Of re-
organization and home rule In the
municipal government.
A second resolution. urged by the
District Committee. will call for an
ALLEGATION of $4,000 out of House
funds to cover the costs Of the study.
Earlier, Chairman Dirksen OF the
House District Committee had ap-
peared to urge the Rules Commit
tee to approve immediate House
action on the bill.
Mr.. Dirksen said the study would
be aimed principally at taking some
of the administrative load of run
ming the District off the hands OF
Congress- The home rule question
would be secondary" he said.
This was made clear when Repre-
sentative Rich, Republican, Of PENN

about turning the District over to

'The Constitution provides this
10-square-mile plot of land should

ernment. II 1t Is turned over to the
people, where will Congress go?" he
asked.
Representative Auchincloss, who
would be In charge of the study, said
the bill is mot Immediately con-
cerned with home rule"
"We are very open-minded about
the legal responsibility as well as
whether people of the District want
home rule. That will be taken up
second, after the reorganization"
Mr.. Auchincloss declared.
well. If the Government were
turned over to the people here I was
afraid Congress might have to move
out to some town in Illinois," COM
mented Mr.. Rich.
Immediate Action Urged.
Mr.. Dirksen called for immediate
action on the bill. he said, so the re-
organization study could be made
concurrently with budget studies OF
the District subcommittee on ap-
preparations.
He pointed out that there has
never been comprehensive investi-
CATION of the District Government
by Congress and said he felt much
more power should be turned over

"a number of studies have been

fruitless and abortive affairs" he

the District has continued to just
grow. Some order must come out
of this chaotic condition." he added.
"A good deal of legislation now
handled by Congress stoald be done
tby the administrative heads of the
District. The situation has grown
to a point where they couldn't
change the name of street with
out coming to Congress"
The District Committee chairman
said that If the investigation is
authorized frequent conferences will
be held with groups of the Senate

indicated interest In such study"

D. {. Budget Cui
Or New Taxes
|WeiighedbY
House Subcommittee
Gets Young Report
As Hearings Open

Necessity for heavy increases in
city taxes or great slashes in the
1948 budget was faced by the Dis
trict Finance Subcommittee OF the
House Appropriations Committee as
lit began hearings today on the Dis
trict,s new supply bill.
The Commissioners and other top
municipal officials were first wit
nesses. They gave a general de-
scription of the financial headache
now before both the District govern
ment and Congress.
Commissioner John Russell Young,
in a general statement, showed that
the city Is depending on enactment
of most of the new $4,000, 600 reve-
nue program to cover budget needs.
Sales Tax Considered.
A general sales tax, estimated to
produce s5,250,000 in new funds, in
creased liquor taxes amounting to
So 200, 900 and a broadened base for
the income levy to raise $4,000, ,000
more are key elements of the pro-
posed plan, now before Congress.
Some action on the revenue pro-
gram may be taken late today. The
Bates-Cain Joint Fiscal subcom-
mittee of the House and Senate Dis
trict committees was scheduled to
meet late today to consider a re-
vision Of the new income tax bill
To show the size of the problem
before the District, COMMISSIONS
Young said the original fund re-
quests of District departments for
the year beginning July totaled
s136, ,000, 900. This he explained was
about $60, 900, 900 over revenues In
sight last winter.
40 Millions Trimmed by City.
The city heads sliced more than
$40 000, 900 from the total to bring
the total request down to the still
record breaking sum of $95 ,082 900
| Even this amount, he stressed
left an anticipated deficit of nearly
$18 900 900, but he added the Com
missioners were convinced the budg-
ct represented the minimum
amount required" to provide neces-
sary services.
/ The estimate of total revenue fol
the general fund, he said, now Is es-
timated at $50 0,851 200, assuming that
Congress passes new tax bills which
| in the new fiscal year would pro-
duce 100000. If all this new
revenue program were enacted, he
continued, there would appear tc
be an unappropriated revenue sur
plus of $3,625, 900 at the end of the
1948 fiscal year. However, he added
the prospective passage of the new
teacher pay increase bill will re-
duce this surplus by about $2.400,
900, leaving cushion of a little
over 81 100000.
Gas Tax Seen Needed.
To finance the proposed highway
program, Mr.. Yqung's statement
showed, the proposed 1-cent increase
in the gasoline tax will be needed
And to finance the projected ex-
pansion and improvement of the
water system, he said There will be
needed both the proposed legislation
to require the United States to pay
for the water it uses In Federal
buildings and the measure author
izing the District to borrow more
than $3,000,O00 from the Treasury.
Even so, the statement showed
the financial problem has been re-
duced by the recent 20 per cent in
crease in real estate assessments and
the recently reported rise in income
| tax receipts.
