West Berlin Battles
Big Deficit as Taxes
And Aid Fall Short
by the Asseeioted Press

BERLIN. Oct. 20.-Every minute
Of every day and night Western
Berlin goes in debt another $500
That's how much tax receipts
fail to cover the cost Of operating
the government of 2,250. 900 Ger
mans in the Allied sectors of this
battered city.
The American, French and Bri-
tish occupation authorities absorb
some of the debt with loans and
grants. The Marshall Plan organ
ization is considering ways Of tax
ing up some more of the slack.
But the stark fact remains that
the West Berlin city government
is living over its income to- the
tune Of more than three-quarters
of a million dollars every day.
Cold Figures Cited.
Here's the picture in cold figures
from the city's treasury:
The annual budget, covering the
period from last April / to next
March 81. called for 1882, ,000, ,000
duetsche marks. or 4.743. 900 marks
a day. At the present rate Of ex-
change that equals $1,129. 900 a
day.
Tax collections for August. the
last month for which figures are
complete, were 42.556.000 marks
or about 100000 a day.
That means that for every day
in August the city spent $729. .290
more than it took in.
Most Of the city income is from
taxes on wages of Berlin workers
the rest from profits and corpora
ton taxes. The average Berlin
wage Garner gets about 800 marks
a month, and If he is unmarried
and without dependents, he pays
34.5 marks Of it in taxes. plus an
other six marks surtax. The mark
is now valued at 23.8 cents.
Berlin officialdom knows the
situation is desperate, but 1t
doesn't know Of a solution. Lord
Mayor Ernst Reuter- said in an
interview the city is dying a slow
death because of Allied indeci-
sion."
They send us technical ex-
perts and they make Sunday
speeches." he said. but they do
nothing to prevent the city OF
these brave Berliners from bleed
ing to death"
Solution Proposed.
His solution: Take Berlin into
the west German republic as the
18th state. That would change
considerable Of Berlin's operating
costs from municipal to Federal
debt.
The Federal parliament at Bonn
is pondering the matter. but it is
a knotty problem. Inclusion OF
Berlin in the republic would scut-

tie the last vestiges of four power
rules in the former capital.
The quadripartite meetings al
ready have been halted at least
temporarily by the Western Allies
because Of Russia's failure to keep
its agreements on the Berlin rail-
way issue. Most Allied sources
fear another split would doom
them forever.
The Western Allies poured
about 60.000.000 marks a month
into West Berlin's Golfers from
last October until last month.
The money went for coal, food,
petroleum products, medicine and
newsprint, which was hauled to
Berlin. sold here and the proceeds
given to the city.

1.-Two Southerners Out
To Put Senate Leader
On Spot Over Rents
by the Assoeioied Press

Two Southern Senators tried
to maneuver an administration
leader onto a hot spot today in
the related battles, over rent con-
trolls and the Senate filibuster.
Senator Sparkman. Democrat.
of Alabama told a reporter he
and q Southern colleague. Sem
ator Maybank. Democrat. of
South Carolina, have such a spot
picked out for Senator Myers,
Democrat. of Pennsylvania. the
deputy party chief in the Senate.
Senator Sparkman said they
want to find out from Senator
Myers whether the administration
forces would let rent controls ex-

posed to testify yesterday, but
other business interfered.
Meanwhile, the rent situation
across the Capitol remained ex-
plosive. House Republicans dis
cussed it behind closed doors yes
terday. Afterward Representative
Martin. Republican, of Massa-
chusetts, the minority leader, re-
ported overwhelming sentiment
for ending rent controls and turn
ing the program over to the
States.
Mr.. Martin also said there was
q lot of support for only a 90-day
extension If there is to be any
continuance at all. The present
law expires at the end of this
month.
Debate Due Tomorrow.
The House plans to start de-
bate tomorrow on a committee
approved bill to continue controls

President Truman asked for a
two-year extension and for more
tightening up of controls than
the committee recommended.

The principal Senate exemption was the so-called Holland
