Scheduled in Plans
For Revenue Action
By Don S. Warren

A tentative schedule Of action at
both ends of Capitol Hill, aimed at
solving District revenue problems,
has been adopted at last by leaders
of District congressional units.
It now Is definite, leaders said,
that q District retail sales tax will
be sponsored.
Because of uncertainty as to when
Congress will decide finally on a
pay raise for Government workers
the date of its effect will be left for
late session decision. 1t was made
clear today. however. a united drive
will be made for a sales tax to be
effective either next July l, or q
year hence, depending on the pay
raise.
A revised measure for the 2 per
cent sales levy already has been
drafted. This is designed to make
the District act conform as closely
as possible with the Maryland law
It is expected to be introduced In
the House early next week by Chair
man Bates of the Fiscal Subcommit-
tee of the House District Committee
House Unit Meeting Set.
Plans already have been made to
expedite action on the House side,
where tax legislation must originate.
Chairman Dirksen tentatively has
scheduled a meeting of the full
House District Committee for June
3 to consider this and any other city
measures awaiting action before the
windup of House business in this
session of Congress.
Mr.. Bates today told reporters he
already has informal clearance
from members of his Fiscal Sub
committee and that the bin will be
ready for full committee action by
June 3.
Meanwhile, the Dworshak Sub
committee of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee is scheduled to
meet at 2 pm. Friday to make final
decisions on a reduction of the
record breaking House passed $l0l, :
164,9OO District appropriation bill
for the year beginning July !. Cuts
amounting to at least $1,6OO.OOO
are expected to be ordered in an
effort to balance the budget for
the 1949 fiscal year without any
new tax load-previded there Is no
pay raise.
Pay Raise Deficit Estimated.
A cost t-of Living pay raise for
Government workers, which would
be applied to most of the 17,0OO
city workers, would add from ST.
0OO, 900 to $40, ,0O0, 900 to the impend-
ing District deficit.
Another means now indicated Tor
balancing the pending budget is a
proposed large reduction in the
amount of reserve revenues to cover
the cost of anticipated. but as yet
unknown, deficiency and supple
mental appropriations to be met IN
the coming fiscal year.
Mr.. Bates emphasized that the
only alternative to sales tax to
finance operations and delayed i'm
provement costs In the 1850 fiscal
year would be very substantial
increase" in the tax rate on real
estate and tangible personal prop
erty.
He has suggested mild increase
in this rate, if needed, to balance
the l949 budget. But he told re-
porters he would mot stand for
any ma jor rise" in the rate, In view
of the fact that property taxes were
boosted iii this tscal year by an
average of 80 per cent.

Because Of the press Of Senate
business, Chairman Gurney had tt
abandon hope of having the Senate
Armed Services Committees drat
bill taken up tomorrow or Friday.
Because "at least 60 House mem
bers" wanted to speak against th'
House Armed Services Committee
draft bill even before 1t reaches
the floor, Chairman Allen of TIT
Rules Committee said there wa
little chance that clearance woult
be given before June L.. He addet
that his committee has no inten

Several members Of the Hous'

consider raising Army pay and i'm
proving conditions for enlisted
men," Mr.. Allen commented tina
such suggestions deserved study II

Representatives Folger and Bar

tration an Interior Department
agency in the Pacific Northwest.
Present purchases of power for
resale. the committee said, should
be given preference in the renewal
of contracts in order that they may
continue to supply the needs of their
customers. Also, when additional
power Is available for sale, such
power should be distributed proper
tionately and equitably among pres
ent purchasers and new purchasers
of power.
The acquisition Of the properties
of privately owned power company
serving ower-consuming area by
public utility district through
condemnation proceedings-as has
already been consummated in one
instance In Northwestern State
Is undemocratic in its application
and should not be condoned by the
Bonneville Power Administration by
making power available at lower
rate, unless such proceeding is ap-
proved the American way. which is
by ma ajority vote of the qualified
voters in the respective area.
Procedure Denounced.
"Such procedure has the ear
marks of Soviet power policy and
will not be countenanced by this
committee. and we are entirely cer-
tain that the Congress and the
American people will insist that
such policy does not get a foot
hold in America against any pri
vate business, regardless of how
small or how large"
: Mr. Krug's statement on stock
piling of critical materials came as
the Secretary testified on the gen.
eral operations of the far-f1ung de-
partment.
Frankly" he told the commit
tee, Il will let the committee know
that military strategic stockpiles
don't exist. We have a few items
that are not important, but on the
extremely important critical ma
terials we have virtually nothing In
the stockpile"
The cut of s84,293 PA from the
Presidents budget estimate of s459,-
a70635 for the department was one
of the sharpest ordered this year
for any agency Part of the cut,
however. was offset by approval of
S29 944, ,290 in contract authority, for
which appropriations will be made
later.
Fine Arts Funds Not Cut.
The S375,677, ,591 cash in the bill is
s1l2876,532 more than the depart
ment was given for the present fiscal
year ending June 30. Extra funds
for reclamation projects. for the
Bureau of Mines. for railroad and
highway improvement in Alaska
and for the National Park Service
accounted for most of the increase,
although all these projects had been
budgeted for more
The only departmental arm not
cut was the Fine Arts Commission,
which got the $4,000 it asked.
The committee denied all requests
for construction funds for the
Southwestern Power Administration,
saying that any additional power
facilities needed in that area should
be provided by organizations in
the power business in that area"
The committee recommended that
the departments power division be
abolished on the ground that it
duplicates work of the Federal
Power Commission.
