Special Session Action
On District Revenues,
Home Rule 10 BeAsked
Coin May Push Passage
Of Sales Tax and Levy
On High Bracket Incomes
By Don 5. Warren

Under present plans, action
will be sought early in the spe-
cial session of Congress on two
major DISTRICT issues-increased
revenues and proposals for an
elected city government.
Both are controversial and both
are awaiting action on House or
Senate calendars. In both cases
sponsors are awaiting word from
ECongressional leaders as to how
mitch of a District legislative pro-
gram will be attempted
There were strong indications
however, that Chairman Cain of the
Senate District Fiscal Subcommit-
tee again will seek passage of a
combination sales tax and high
bracket income levy to. meet the
city's financial problems.
Was Blocked by Johnston.
The bill already has been passed
by the House but Senate action
was blocked in the closing hours OF
the last session by Senator John
ston. Democrat, of South Carolina
The sales tax, under the proposal
before Congress last spring, called
for 2 per cent tax on virtually all
retail sales. The high bracket in.
come tax would tax all incomes
above $4,000.
Senator Johnston, who still ap.
pears to be the main stumbling
block, has declared he will continue
to fight a sales tax. He plans tt
move for an increase in the Fedora
payment toward District expenses
perhaps coupled with a proposed
increase in liquor taxes, as mean'
of financing pay increases for thou
sands of District Government work
ers who were denied pay boost
when the revenue bill failed.
Teachers Pay Action Seen.
If the program of the Republican
leadership will permit it, one plan il
to bring the revenue issue befor'
the Senate and let the argument
flow.
( An early move also is expected t,
complete legislative action on a bill
to correct some inequities in tn
