sale of personal property by means
of written or telephoned communi-

measures also would exempt the sale
of personal property to the Gov

The defendants were named in

Under a second count, the defend

Lucke was charged with NAL

-Four other presentments charged
the Myerbergs and the firm with
numerous violations of the building
code. The Myerbergs also were
charged with false pretenses.

The grand jury was instructed to
make an inquiry five weeks ago after
more than 1000 veterans complained
the houses they bought were badly
constructed or did not conform with
specifications.
About 1900 veterans informed
banks and building associations
which hold mortgages on their
homes they would make no more
payments on loan principal until
their houses are repaired.

he added. Apparently 1t goes much
further than its sponsors originally
intended
Mr.. Stanley contended it amounts
to triple taxation and said he knew
OF no other State having q similar
tax.
Mr.. Updegraf1 disagreed, insisting
there were similar levies In some
States, and Senator Cain directed
District ofiicials to supply written
list Of such measures elsewhere.
II the tax is to be repealed, Mr..
West suggested different language,
which he said was necessary to avoid
administrative difficulties.
Senator Cain, conducting the Joint
hearings, is urging that, because
Of its ubiquitous" features, the Dis
trict's personal income levy be torn
out by the roots" Mr.. Bates, who
opposes a sales tax except as
last resort, indicates he has some
hope the income inequities might
be corrected.
Late Developments.
Overnight developments include
these:
/. Chairman Cain announced con-
sideration would be given to COM
bination of q selective sales tax and
continuation Of the District income
levy only for those with incomes of
over $4,000 or $4,000. This would
be a substitute for outright repeal
Of the District income levy.
2. washington school teachers
will be given hearing tomorrow
on pay raise proposals, sick leave
and existing "inequities.
3. Senator Cain agreed with Dis
trict Budget Office Fowler that the
Federal Government should increase
its payment toward District costs,
if enactment of Federal worker
pay raise led to adoption of another
boost in pay for District employees.
Fighting salary increases, Mr.. Fow-
Ter said the lowest proposal of $3.50
a year would cost the District
$8,34l 900 year, which could not
be covered, even by the sales tax.
There was long discussion over
the position taken by the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. Vernis
Absher, Federation spokesman, asked
that new taxes be avoided until
Congress acts on the District home
rule plan Meanwhile, he suggested
that the budget be cut down to stay
within present revenues and the re-
mainder of the wartime investment
fund. If Congress levies a sales tax,
the Federation wants the personal
income levy repealed.
