crat, of South Carolina joined the
city heads in opposing home rule.
He. said he did not see how it would
be possible to operate a dual gov
eminent" in the National Capital
and voiced fears that during re-
cesses of Congress the council might
adopt rules affecting the Federal
Government.
Commissioner Guy Mason took the
stand to indorse all Mr.. Young had
said. He said he had faith in the
American voter, but pointed out
that because residents here main
tanning voting rights In their home
State would be given the District
franchise, he opposed the home
rule section of the bill.
II can't see the idea Of letting
people from Cheverly. Md, or Po-
dunk, Va, be running the District

him IF you elected your own off,
Gals here do you suppose the
United States would continue to

referring to the Federal share of
National Capital costs.
Opposes Vote Without Taxation.
Mr.. Mason agreed there would be
a tendency to leave the District to
its own resources.
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts, joined in the de-
bate to say that the District had a
lot of people who didn't carry their
proper share of the city's financial
responsibilities To permit those
who escape the District income tax
to vote, he. said, would amount to
representation without taxation"
Chairman Auchincloss took issue
with the suggestion that voting
should be made contingent on tax
paying, saying 1t was not required
In his State. But Mr.. Bates argued
that the question of responsible cit
izenship still could not be divorced
from the question.
Mr.. Bates took issue with Mr..
Mason on the size of the burden on
District real-estate taxpayers and
the two engaged in a debate as to
whether properties here are assessed
at more than 10 per cent OF market
value. While Mr.. Bates said Dis
trict realty taxpayers are doing
pretty well" as to the tax rate, the
real estate levy and assessment were
fair ,

Bridges told a reporter, But I don't

There were indications that Sem
ator Bridges view is shared by
some Republican members of the

where the cutting ak will fall first.
Still other members of Congress
have made 1t clear they want much
deeper economy.
Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio has said that spending under
the proposed program should be
held down $1,000, 000, 900 under the
Presidents estimates for the year
beginning July l.
Withdrawal Allowed.
Meanwhile, Senator Hickenlooper,
Republican, Of Iowa said Chairman
Vandenberg of the Foreign Rela-
-tions Committee has agreed to write
into the foreign aid bill a clause
saying that the United States can
stop the program any time Congress
decides it is going off the beam.
II want it crystal clear from the
start that we can pull out after one
year or any other period without
being accused of bad faith or going
back on our commitments, Senator
Hickenlooper said. TT must be in
clear language written into the
law"
Meanwhile, Secretary OF State
Marshall prepared to present to
Congress within the next few days
a program for American aid to
China which may total several
hundred million dollars.
State Department officials said the
Chinese aid plan is now in the final
stages of drafting. q,
They reported that State Depart
ment economic experts also are at
work on information for Gen. Mar
shall to use in answering the re-
quest of Senator Vandenberg for

quirements for American aid. That
would cover the European recovery
program, the China program, and
any others which the State Depart
ment may think necessary.
The overall report will not be
