In Lieu of Taxes Lost

In recent years the Federal Government has
become the owner of vast amounts of real estate
Local governments depend upon real estate taxes
for more than half their revenue As the pur-
chase of real property by the Federal Govern
ment removes it from the tax lists, local govern
mentS are feeling the pinch and there is grow
ing demand that something be done about it.
After considerable study the Budget Bureau
has prepared legislation to deal with the prob
lem and it is being sponsored in the Senate by
Senator Humphrey It's aim is to pay local gov
ernmentS sums in lieu of taxes lost. Congress
has authorized such payments in the past. But
each authorization has been designed to meet
some special situation. There are about twenty
such piecemeal provisions but no overall author
ity to follow consistent policy. The Humphrey
bill would provide that authority and establish
uniform system throughout the country.
Here in Washington, with more than half of
a strictly limited taxable area exempt from local
taxes because of its ownership by Government,
by foreign embassies and legations and by tax
exempt institutions located here because this is
the seat of Government, the problem of lost local
revenues is an old one. 1t has been recognized
by payment to the District Government of
lump sum. But the lump sum is not based on
any precise measurement of the taxes lost to the
District by tax-exempt ownership. If 1t were
so measured IL would pe aDouL 10 per cent more
than it is now. The amount of the lump sum, in
fact is based on no systematic measurement of
what is the Federal Governments obligation to
the community. 1t is merely a figure established
each year by expedent compromise, and as local
taxes have gone up the Federal lump sum has
gone down.
The bill by Senator Humphrey to fix the tax
value of property acquired by the Federal Gov
ernment and to compensate local governments
on that basis does not apply to the District of
island possessions. Furthermore, only the real
property acquired since February l. 1946, would
be affected. The reason for emitting the District
of Columbia and Puerto Rico from the legislation
Is, as the Budget Bureau states, that "theSe have
usually been the subject of special arrangement"
It doubtless would be impractical to include
the District in such legislation, applying to the
Nation as a whole, for the situation in Washing
ton is unique But it would be of distinct ad-
vantage to the District if Congress approved the
Humphrey bill. For approval of the bill would
mean formal recognition of the principle that
the Federal Government should pay something in
lieu of the taxes that local governments lose
through Federal ownership. If that principle is
recognized for the Nation, there would be greater
hope for its honest recognition by Congress in the
District of Columbia. And If the lump sum pay
ment were to be based on that principle alone,
Ii would come nearer representing an equitable
payment than it does now.

Gettinq at the Truth

In the course of his testimony before sena-
tor McCarrans Subcommittee on Internal Sc
curity the ex-CommuniSt Louis Budenz, made
certain statements under oath, the veracity Of
which was publicly challenged by the newspaper
columnist Joseph Asop. Mr.. Alsop was supported
by Henry Wallace and Mr.. Wallace's own official
records Of the incident in which he had played
the major role.
Last September IA Senator Lehman asked
unanimous consent OF the Senate to insert in the
Congressional Record the three articles by Mr..
Asop in which the Budenz assertions had been
examined and challenged. The Senator explained
that the articles contained an accusation so seri
ous-an accusation of false testimony-that to
ignore this accusation would reflect upon the
honor Of the Senate and every Senator. He
urged that the charges by Mr.. Alsop be carefully
investigated.
To the apparent surprise, at least, of Senator
Lehman, there were objections to his request
The objections were stated so forcefully as to
invite the inference that Senator Lehman was
himself guilty of grave breach Of senatorial
honor; that he himself was rejecting upon other
Senators, and this offense was less pardonable
than the one attributed to witness BudenZ by
Columnist Alsop. Senator McCarran took the
floor to lecture Senator Lehman upon the pro-
prieties. Senator Lehman, ten days later, finally
got the articles in the Record by the laborious
process of reading them aloud, in the face Of
dire warnings as to the possible consequences
Of his act as a reflection on his brethren, the
other Senators.
Whatever the reasons for this curiously in
volved advance maneuver, the McCarran sub
committee has very wisely decided to give Mr..
Alsop and Mr.. Wallace the opportunity they have
sought to testify In open session tomorrow. That
Is fair enough And Ii is to be trusted that this
fairness will extend to permitting Mr.. Alsop and
Mr.. Wallace to tell their side of the story in full,
supported by any pertinent Recommendation they
may have. After all, they do not appear before
the committee as witnesses who are themselves
under accusation Of wrongful acts. They should
be received as witnesses whose personal partici-
patton in events of the past now under examina-
ton enables them to speak with authority, and
possibly to shed light which may be helpful to
the committee in accomplishing its objective Of
getting at the truth.

Navy Rotation

Rear Admiral Duke Chandler has been
appointed president Of the college Of
William and Mary. "His background as
an educator has been comparatively
SLIM" your story said. but he has been
naval officer for 28 years and is now
head Of the logistics plans branch Of the
Office of the Chief Of Naval Operations.
This is one of many recent losses Of
young high-ranking officers from the
armed forces to premature retirement or
civil employment.
At the same time, men who are not
trained warriors but are highly trained
in civilian occupations are being ordered
to active duty with the armed forces.
My case is not an unusual one. am
Junior naval reserve officer ordered in
voluntarily to active duty. My back

Probes Toft's Mind

To run or not to run? That is the
question probably being wrestled with
these anxious hours by the great Sen
ator from Ohio.
Upon the Senator's answer fair
slice Of history will ride. For Robert
A. Taft in all likelihood has the hard
earned and well-merited political power
to name the next Republican candidate
for President-and make 1t stick at
convention time next year.
Thrice, when Mr.. Taft had not the
power, he sought to name himself. !.
Having 1t, might he name another
