Senate bill had provided for l:
months of full control with three
additional months of partial con-
troll.
Other Points of Agreement.
Other main points in the ma
tional bill on which the HOUSE
and Senate managers have agreed
are:
|. A local option plan under
which an entire State. or part:
thereof. could terminate control OF
substitute its own controls. 4
city or town could apply for ex'
clusion from Federal control il
the Governor consents. State leg
islatures also could initiate actor
for local decontrol.
2. Areas which the Fedora
housing expediter has decontrollee
in the past on his own initiative
could be recontrolled on the rec
concentration of the local advisory
boards. AS to any areas which NJ
may decontrol on his own initi'
alive after March 81. he woulo
have a free hand to restore con-
trolls later on.
3. The Federal housing expe.
otter would have restored to him
authority possessed prior to the
present law to make regulations
governing evictions.
4. The conferees late yesterday
worked out a new definition OF
luxury apartments which may
be decontrolled The agreement
strikes out the S290-a-month rent
level used in the Senate bill as
the measure of a luxury" apart
ment, and vests discretion in the
Housing Expediter to decontrol
such apartments, without specify
ing a rent level. when he finds
that to do so would result in in
creasings the number of housing
units. One conferee suggested
this might lead to splitting large
apartments into smaller units. y
S. The Expediter would be au-
thorized to sue for treble damages
for overcharges. Tenants already
may file such suits, but the law
makers were told they are reluc-
tant to initiate such legal action
s. The conferees agreed yester-
day on a new formula, applicable
only to New York and Chicago
for recontrolling permanent resi-
Dental units in hotels. Only the
units used for permanent occu-
pancy would be recontrolled, and
then only if such units constitute
| 26 per cent or more of the ia
cilities.
Debated Issue ALI Afternoon.

: The District committee major
ity report on the revenue bill. con-
tanning 1873 pages, was countered
by a much horter-three-pages-
but sharply critical, minority re-
port.
The minority charged the sales

LENS"
Program Described.
1t urged adoption of q program
already pending in several bills
introduced in the House. which
they described as follows:
"A broadened personal income
tax applicable to all residents in
the District regardless of State.
of domicile with rates ranging
from z. per cent on the first ST.
900 of taxable incomes to S per
cent on taxable incomes in ex-
cess Of $4,000: a 25-cent in
crease in the property-tax rate;
a minimum permanent increase
of $4,000 in the Federal pay
ment, and repeal of the 1873 pro-
hibition against borrowing for
long term improvements"
This program. the minority
claimed, would permit restoration
of the cuts of about $4.400,000
made in the District supply bill
by the House.
Minority members claimed it
also would carry the retroactive
pay increase for District govern
ment employees. teachers. firemen
and policemen.
mo More Equitable"
The minority report also charged
that the new measure lis no more
equitable or less discriminatory"
than the first sales tax bill which
was defeated recently by a House
vote of 176 to 166.
THE truth is. declared the mi
nority, that there is absolutely
no need to resort to this desper-
ate. last-ditch measure"
The minority charged that high
prices already had "cut drastically
into the standard of living of
low-income families" and added:
sit is unfair to cut into it
further by means of sales tax.
The minority report was signed
by Representatives Granger of
Utah, Buchanan of Pennsylvania.
Miller of California, Kennedy Of
Massachusetts, and Klein of New
York, Democrats.
The majority report was not
signed but was sponsored by
majority of the committee. headed
by Chairman Mcmillan. Of South
Carolina. .'
Rate Increased in ~.
Recent increase in the realty
levy was stressed by the majority
report to support its contention
for only a IS cent increase, instead
of the Is cents urged by the minor
ity.
The rate was increased in 1947
from $1.75 to 81. an increase Of
IA per cent. In addition. it was
