SenateD. Cunt
Weighs Heavy
Budget Cuts
Subcommittee Meets
Today in Effort to
Decide on Economies
Ry Don S. Worren

A heavier r-than-expected cut In
the S96,000,00 District supply bill
for this fiscal year may be recon-
mended to the Senate.
A decision on the size Of the be-
lated measure may be reached to-
day by the Dworshak Subcommit-
tee OF the Senate Appropriations
Committee, in charge of the record
breaking District funds bill.
Worry over the amounts Of rev.
enue the District actually may re-
ceive this year from the new tax
raising act signed yesterday by
President Truman was given as one
reason for seeking extra economies.
Another was that, if all available
reserves we're used up now, the
financial headache would be accen-
tuated in the 1949 fiscal year.
Unit Meets Again Today.
The staff of the Dworshak Sub
committee worked late last night
to find possible economies. The
subcommittee was to meet again
this afternoon to get the bill before
the Senate.
There were reports from reliable
sources indicating the subcommit-
tee was considering cuts of up TO
s2,00O,000 from the S96,0O0,000 total
of the bill as passed by the House.
If so, this would make the gross
cut of requests to the Senate con-
siderably higher, since the Com
missioners had recommended items
totaling $914,00O be added to the
House bill.
Some sources said only minor
changes were contemplated in the
expanded amounts granted by the
House for school construction-out-
lays designed to put an end to part
time instruction for some 1000
pupils in 20 congested schools.
Some Cutback Assured.
There seemed no doubt the Dwor-
shak Subcommittee would recon-
mend some cutback from the total
of House-approved outlays for all
purposes. Chairman Dworshak told
reporters at the end of the day
yesterday the group probably would
recommend something below the
House total
Later, others recalled that Con-
gressional reports on the revenue
bill, now law, called on the Appro-
priation Committees to slice at least
s2,000000 from the budget.
Some officials predicted no great
change in school outlays as approved
by the House would be recommend
ed to the Senate.
The bill may come up for Senate
action before the end of this week
Any differences between the House
and Senate provisions would have
to be ironed out in conferences.
Cain to Propose Sales Tax.
Looking toward next years prob
lens, Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington, head of the Fiscal Sub
committee of the Senate District /
Committee which drafted this years
revenue program, said he would
offer q bill next week to repeal the
Districts income tax on individuals.
He will propose to substitute a
sales tax or some other means of re-
placing and expanding the revenue
from the individual income levy. He
is calling for the repeal of this tax
on the ground it is discriminatory
against District residents who have
to pay it while exempting thousands
of others having Federal jobs and
claiming doricile in one of the
States

New Effort Planned
For Senate Approval
'0fD. T., Rent Bill

Senate District Committee leaders
today planned new efforts to gain
Senate approval of a three-month
extension of the Districts rent con-
troll law beyond the present terminal
date of December 81
The House-passed bill to continue
the law "as is" until March 81 was
reached on a call of the Senate
calendar late yesterday. Action was
blocked by Senator Overton, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana.
He objected to passage of the bill
when Senator McGrath, Democrat,
of Rhode Island, acting for the Dis
trict Committee in the absence OF
Chairman Buck. said he had no
authority to accept an amendment
Senator Overton offered.
without Change" Specified.
The Overton amendment would
have given sublessees the same
rights under rental contracts as the
original tenant, after the tenant
Cancelled his lease.
Senator McGrath told the Senate
he had no objection to the Overtor
amendment, but that he could not
accept it, since the District Com
mittee had recommended the three.
month extention of the present Law
without any change. This decision
by the District Committee was
unanimous.
The main purpose of this decl-
sion, he said, was to permit Con-
2ress, when it reconvenes in Janu-
ary. to have time to review the Sit
uation here before controls expired
Unless a continuation Is granted
however, District rent controls will
end December 81, committee spokes-
men warned.
Some Urge Compromises.
Some members urged that neces-
sary compromises be made to get
Senate approval of the measure so
the bill could be sent to conference
for a settlement of differences be-
tween the House and Senate bills.
Some Capitol Hill experts pointed
out, however, that if the bill were
amended in one respect, it might
open the door to many other changes
which might block final action.
The legislation continuing ma
tional rent controls until the end
of February permits voluntary rent
increases up to Is per cent provided
landlords agree to sign leases
through December. 1948.
District committees of Congress
decided against incorporating such
provisions in the Districts rent con.
troll extension, since the District
law already permits upward adjust
ments of rents where landlords car
show. justifiable increases in costs
Some officials believe the boost ir
real estate taxes will fall into this
category.
