Senate Fight Shaping
As Sales Tax Heads
For Committee Study
By Don S. Worren

The financial plight OF tne
District was attracting greater
attention in the Senate today, as
the House passed $18,000,000 city
revenue bill, based on a 2 per cent
sales levy, headed into committee
study.
-the-cuff comments from
Senators, both in an out OF the
District Committee, indicated
there will be a hot war Of words
when the tax measure reaches
the Senate calendar.
Basic issues are scheduled to
come up for discussion in the
District Committee session Tues
day. Fiscal leaders now are making
a detailed check of original pro-
posals against the omnibus bill
passed Tuesday by the House.
Conference Today.
One of these cold facts" con-
ferences listed for today was that
between the chairmen Of the Sen
ate and House Fiscal Subcommit-
tees-Senator Hunt, Democrat. Of
Wyoming, and Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia.
Senator Hunt said he has
some questions about sales tax
exemptions and some other pro-
visions of the House bill. He
said, however, he is prepared to
"go along" if necessary, in the
interest of a final solution.
Pressure for more money to
run the District was increased
late yesterday when the Com
missioners asked the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee to restore
to the 1850 spending program
most of the s4,400,000 economy
cut made by the House when the
new revenue bill still was only a
distant hope.
Seek Spingarn School Item.
The latest requests of the Com
missionerS would put the District
we'll over $7,000,000 in the red in
the fiscal year beginning July l,
unless the revenue bill was passed.
This deficit does not include the
$40, 100000 that would be required
to give city workers their $3.50
pay raise, retroactive to last July /.
The city heads are asking for
restoration of S3,200,000, slashed
by the House. One of the largest
items involved is $1.187 400 toward
the construction of the projected
Spingarn High School for colored
students, to relieve overcroWding
in existing colored high schools.
Senator Hill, Democrat. of Ala
bama, head of the Senate Appro-
priations Subcommittee on the
District, hoped to open hearings
soon" but still was awaiting a
decision on what the Districts
revenues would total.
Interviews with, four Senators
yesterday indicated how far apart
many were on the new tax issues.
General support for the sales tax
plan came from Senators Hunt
and Cain. Republican, of Wash
ington. Opposition was voiced by
Senator Morse. Republican, OF
Oregon, and Senator Johnston,
Democrat, of South Carolina.
Senator Cain viewed the sales
tax plan as the "only constructive
solution of the city's financial
dilemma and offered to work with
any grouping of Senators to solve
IAN ever mounting and dangerous
deficit"
Senator johnson. on the other
hand, said he will do all he can to
prevent passage of a sales tax
plan
Senator Morse called the sales
tax bill a notorious example OF a
plan to exploit the weakness" OF
the present economy. This, he
said, is the sort of thing that con-
stantly is getting "the business
fraternity" into difficulties.

es in Mississippi? No, Senator, you
are wrong, we want the meat and
gravy together. We want to sing
MY Country IT'S of Thee. We
are a little tired of saying, Sweet

Well, an Act Of Congress did not
