small share of the cost of District
facilities they use.
Mr.. O'Hara led the attack against
the exemptions provided in the
original bill without his amendment
1T exempts members of the Sen
ate and members of Congress-" he
said, elective officers, and officers
appointed by the President, namely
the ambassadors and other high ap-
pointive officers. Then it puts every
body else who lives here seven
months into the class of taxpayers
after we have taken care of the ton
brackets.
Il say In the interest of simple
equity and justice that is not right.
1t Is not right to our loyal and eff
flcient office staffs and Government
employees who come here from our
own State who pay an income tax il
it is an income tax State because
they must maintain their resi-
dence."
Mr.. OHara in his attack on the
proposed broadened income tax base
told the House this is the foxiest
little income tax collecting and
gouging bill ever conceived at any
time and place" He contended it
would mean that the District as
SCISSOR would hound these people
on our office force and force them
to pay"
He made particular point that
l9 States have no income tax and
that the residents of those States
living mere more than seven months
OF the year would be subject to the
District levy.
Low Rates Cited.
In his turn, Mr.. Dirksen repeatedly
denied the proposed change in the
income levy meant double taxation
on the incomes of anyone He reit-
Grated that the measure would give
full credit for all State income
taxes and State intangible personal
property taxes paid in the home
State, He stressed also that the Dis
trict income rates were low. and
would not be burdensome to anyone
In addition. he contended for
the justice of requiring persons
living here more than seven months
of the year, and year after year, to
pay "a little something" toward the
cost of facilities they use. TT would
be ludicrous if we took any other
position" he said.
Taking up the case of a single
girl working here as a clerk in the
Office of member of Congress, he
explained she would be given an ex-
emption of $1,000 and estimated
her District income tax-if it was
not exempted by reason of payment
OF a State income tax back home
would average about SIS a year.
What would she pay here If the
District had per cent sales tax?''
he asked. She would pay twice
as much as that, but they don't tell
you about that"
Strange Result Claimed.
Mr.. Dirksen cited number of the

with the House at this late day
In this session over the O'Hara
amendment. He said the conferees
today would have to consider wheth-
er to try to find some substitute
for the lost revenue from among
the various tax plans offered earlier
by the Commissioners, or to defer
such action until next year.
Senator Cain, head of the Sem
ate's conferees on the bill, has indi-
Gated he is not opposed to sales
tax, but recently told his Senate
colleagues 1t was not incorporated in
the bill because the joint House
Senate Fiscal Subcommittee had
concluded this was not the best base
for the new revenue measure.
A general per cent sales tax,
with liberal exemptions, was one of
the tax plans suggested early this
year by the Commissioners.
Chairman Bates, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, head of the House
subcommittee in charge of the rev.
enue bill, told reporters he accepted
the House action on the income tax
amendment as final. AS to sales
tax. however, he declared fatty
there will be no sales tax tkis
year" In the presence of Mr..
Koran he told reporters you can
say that definitely"
Contesting the Horan contention
that extra layers of revenues are
needed, Mr.. Bates quoted figures
from the revenue hearings to show
that the District can meet all of
it's proper requirements in the new
fiscal year under the pending rev.
snue bill, even with the loss of the
s1.600,000 under the O'Hara amend
ment.
School Crowding Cited.
In this informal exchange, Mr..
Koran shot back that despite all the
figures Mr.. Bates could cite as to
unused capital outlay appropria-
tions still available, and new moneys
proposed, the District still had 1000
children in part-time classes in pub
lie schools.
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, one of the House con-
ferees on the bill. told reporters
that while he intended to initiate
no action himself, there had been
4 feeling in the House fiscal sub
committee there should be a broad
ened income tax or sales tax.
IF this O'Hara amendment
wrecks the income tax" he said,
there is left the sales tax"
House action came yesterday after
a sharp debate during which numer-
GUS members frankly declared their
concern for their own office clerks
and their constituents working in
Federal agencies.
Payment Arguments Overridden.
Completely overridden were the
arguments of Chairman Dirksen,
Mr.. Bates and Mr.. Smith, that Fed
eral workers here who do not pay
income taxes back home should be
required and be willing to pay

Engaged in the construction indus
try before coming to Congress as
new member, he is indignant over
the whole shortage of housing
throughout the country. All restric-
tions on building should be removed

In his letter to Mr.. SABBATH, he
said he had to delay moving of his
family to Washington for lack of
housing, and his secretary is also
having trouble finding a place to
live.
II strongly favor any movement
designed to improve living condi-
tions for members and their staffs,

Committee will, add anything to

Bakewell Finds House. -
Representative Bakewell, Repub-

month trying to find accommo-

children. He finally located house
yesterday, and is moving in. His
troubles were complicated by sew
eral landlords refusing to rent to
the family because they wanted no
tenant with children.
In a letter to Mr.. SABBATH, he
referred to his difficulties, and de-
clared, II think your suggestion OF
obtaining the former UN Service
Center and having it used for hous-
ing purposes for members and en-
ployes of Congress is an excellent
one"
Other comment received by Mr..
SABBATH:

lican, of Oregon, member OF the
District subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee: Il am
interested in having the United
Nations Service Center made avail

ing to take over valuable housing to

point at which the interests of Con-
gress and the courts may collide.
Strong arguments have been pre-
sented to Congress for several years
to provide much needed additional
space for the courts. Judges and
the District Bar Association, backed
by many civic agencies, have ap-
pealed to Congress for new court
house. Several attempts in the past
to get new courthouse have failed.
Attempts to get the Capitol Park
Hotel temporarily would relieve
pressure on the courthouse, judges
Il here pointed out. If enough court
functions requiring Office space could
be moved from the courthouse to
the hotel, one or two additional
courtrooms might be fitted into the
old courthouse.
New Courthouse Planned.
The new courthouse would be built
on Constitution avenue between
Third street and John Marshall
place NV, at a cost of $40, 300 900
| for the structure itself. Cost of the
ground and building would be split,
half and half, between the Federal
and District Governments.
Promises of support for Mr..
Sabath's project came to him in re-
sponse to a circular letter to House
members. Mr.. SABBATH, dean of the
House, called attention to a joint
resolution he introduced early in
this session authorizing $4,000, 900
to be used for construction of apart
ment houses for congressional oc-
cupancy. He also pointed out that
the Capitol Park Hotel had been
abandoned as a United Nations
Service Center and still belonged
| to the Government. He proposed 1t
should be made available for rent
to members of Congress and their
employees, "at competitive rates" "
An Act of Congress would be neces-
sary to permit members of Congress
to rent space in the hotel.
Pledges of cooperation came in
letter from many members. One
suggested, however, that the national
housing shortage should be taken
care of by Congress first.
Proposals Advanced.
| Mr.. SABBATH was one OF several
who advanced proposals for the
construction of housing for members
of congress by the Government a
lyear ago. Hearings were held by the
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee of the House but no bill was
reported.
From Mr.. Sabath's mail and in
terviews with some members of. Con-
gress came indications there still is
strong complaint on sCapitol Hill
about housing shortage1 in this area,
with a determination to do some
thing about it.
Many members of the Senate and
House have been provided with
apartments and homes through ac-
tivities of the Board of Trade and
the Washington Real Estate Board.
William Press, executive secretary of
the trade body, said last night his
reports showed the great majority OF
requests for housing had been filled.
