Senate Is Expected
To Vote Full Federal
PAYMENT 10 District.

Senate approval is expected to
be given early this week to a $12
million Federal payment toward
District costs, the full amount
authorized in the revenue act of
1947.
A fight for it's adoption will be
led by Senator Hill, Democrat. of
Alabama, head of the Senate sub
committee in charge of the Dis
trict's 1851 supply bill. A contest
may be raised by several members
seeking economies in Federal out
lays.
In reporting the omnibus Fed
eral appropriation bill yesterday,
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee rejected moves to cut the
Federal payment. To do so would
be contrary to existing law, it de-
cided.
The House, III earlier action on
the subject, had made a 10 per
cent slash in the Federal share of
District costs, reducing the total
to $10.8 million. The cut of $1.2
million was applied to the $11 mil
lion grant to the General Fund,
leaving intact the 81 million pay
ment for water the city supplies
to Federal buildings.
ANY reduction from the $12
million authorized annual Federal
contribution to the District govern
ment's operations. - the Senate
Appropriations Committee said, "is
contrary to existing law.
"It must be remembered" the
committee added, "that of the
total land area within the Dis
trict over 81 per cent is tax
exempt, of which about 42 per
cent is held by the Federal Gov
ernment and the remainder by
foreign governments. the District
government and eleemosynary and
other institutions specifically ex-
empted by statute"
In addition, the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee noted
that the recommended $11 million
payment to the General Fund
costs of the District is only 10.87
per cent of the total General
Fund appropriations, as compared
with 40 per cent payment made
in 1922. =
The size of the Federal share.
it added, was never less than 9.27
per cent. a low point reached
in 1916.
The Federal payment is in the
first chapter of the Federal sup
ply bill, now scheduled to be taken
up for action in the Senate Tues
day.
The District appropriation bill,
a Seperate measure, has been
passed by both the House and
Senate and is to be sent to con-
ference tomorrow by the House.

Civilian Defense Bill
For D. {. 10 Come Up
In House Tomorrow

The bill to establish an Office
of Civil Defense in the District
Government will come up for ac-
tion in the House tomorrow.
Meanwhile, District officials were
preparing to request supple
mental appropriation for the pro-
gram, and looking around for
candidates for a civil defense di-
rector and staff.
While he would not state the
amount to be sought, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Thomas j.
Hayes. III, said the appropriation
request would be broader than the
$4,000 originally contemplated.
100000 Fund Sought.
Paul J. Larsen, director of the
civilian mobilization Office of
the National Security Resources
Board, urged a 100000 appropri-
alton for the proposed agency at
a recent House District Committee
hearing. however, and it is con-
sidered likely the Commissioners
figure might approximate Mr..
Larsen'S,
RAnueStS Rejected
Congressional appropr iation
groups have rejected requested
funds for the purpose of civil de-
fenSe so far, on the ground the
activities have not yet been au-
thorized by law.
Approved by the House District
Committee, the measure to come
up tomorrow would give the Com
missioners wide powers. 1t would
provide for personnel in the new
Office, headed by a director, who
could be appointed without regard
to civil service restrictions.
Designed to help protect the Ma
tional Capital in the event of
enemy attack or other emergency,
the legislation would authorize the
new organization to prepare a
comprehensive plan for civil de-
fense to be integrated with the
Federal program.
Urged by Commissioners.
Civilian training programs would
be set up. and mutual aid agree
ments would be made with politi-
cal divisions of nearby States. The
measure was recommended by the
National Security Resources Board
and the Commissioners.
So far. the District has set up
a temporary committee on civil
defense, which has gone through a
war game" experiment and made
up a series of reports on which
to base q co-ordinated program.
Meanwhile, a stop-gap program
is ready.
