TruceWon' 'tCui
Tax Demands,
Folsom Insists
Tells Lawmakers
He Sees No Drop
In Arms Spending
BY the Associoted Press

Undersecretary of the Treasury
Marion B. Folsom said today a
truce in Korea would make mo
difference whatever. in the ad-
ministration's plea for continued
high taxes.
Prospects for an early end to
the fighting, however, prompted
strong demands from members
of the House Ways and Means
Committee for an end to any
further thought of extending the
excess profits tax beyond June
80 as asked by the Eisenhower
administration.
At the same time. Mr.. Folsom
told the committee Treasury Off
Gals put mo pressure whatever
on business friends to line up be-
hind the Presidents request for
a SiX-month extension of the un-
popular levy.
The underSecretary said he
saw no possible violation of lob
bying laws or anything improper
at all in a series of conferences
of Secretary Humphrey and
other Treasury officials with
business leaders on the Presi-
dents tax program. Testimony
that such talks had been held set
off accusations in the committee
that they constituted at least
improper efforts to influence
Congress on legislation.
Hope to Save SIS Billion.
Representative Jenkins, Re-
publican, of Ohio, second in
seniority among committee men,
bers, told Mr.. Folsom that re-
gardless of the Undersecretary's
position. most financial leaders
feel that a truce in Korea would
bring a SIS billion saving in gov
ernment expen ditures and
surely would have a great effect
on balancing the budget"
Representative Mason, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, interrupted Mr..
jenkins questioning of Mr.. Fol-
som to declare heatedly that the
committee. if a Korean truce is
reached. should cut off it's hear
ings on the excess profits tax
Immediately and lend all
thought" of extending the levy.
Chairman Reed interjected
that he agreed 100 per cent"
but added that it would be un-
fair to hear a large number of
witnesses who have gone to con-
siderable expense and trouble to
prepare testimony opposing the
Presidents proposal.
Mr.. Folsom reported that
President Eisenhower already
has indicated there would be no
letup in defense spending if a
Korean truce is reached and he
(Folsom) didn't see chow it
would make any difference
whatever"
Questioned Sharpley.
The No. 2 Treasury official ran

the CIO in some quarters, par
ticularly in the South where it
is regarded as having left-wing
tendencies. The Executive Board
recently reorganized its field
operations to release manpower
for a new organizational pro-

Sharp criticism of the Eisen-
hover administration was voiced
by the Executive Board. It said,
for example, that the admins
tration's tax program is designed
to increase the burden for middle
and lower income groups and
give relief in "the higher income
brackets and to the tremendously
profitable big corporations"

The CIO said the administra-

The labor officials condemned

Future Wage Rises
Cited by Transit as
Need for Fare Boost
Prompt Action Is Urged
By Controller to Fulfill
Poy Pocts With Union
By John w. Stepp

Unless the District Public Util-
tiles Commission acts promptly
and favorably on the present
fare increase petition, Capital
Transit Co. may come right back
with another rate increase re-
quest next year. .
This was the testimony today
of Robert E. Harvey. company
controller. The commission hear
ings are now in their third day.
The company expected to con-
clude it's side of the case this af-
ternoon.
Two forthcoming employe wage
increases neceSsitate the speedy
action to which Mr.. Harvey re-
ferred. Under labor contract
signed last summer, Capital
Transit must raise it's wages S
cents an hour, at a total cost of
$460,000, effective next July /.
On July /, 1854, a slightly higher
wage increase will take effect at
a total cost of 100000.
FOrsees Income Drop.
The controller pointed out that
while the requested fare increases
are expected to produce a TT
per cent rate of return-or $1.8
million in net operating income
this rate percentage will drop
to 6.6-more than 100000
when the July l, 1854. pay in
creases become effective. Mr..
Harvey did not say whether a
6.6 per cent return would or
would not be satisfactory, al
though the company has con-
tended all along that it is
entitled to a 10 per cent return.
He declared to the commission,
however, that prompt action by
the commission is necessary II
further rate increases are to be
avoided"
Notes Pass Decline.
Elsewhere in his testimony
today the company official ar
gued for elimination of the
weekly pass. He testified that
in 1945 the pass brought in about
one-half the company's total
passenger revenues, but it now
produces less than one-quarter.
He further described the pass
as discriminatory both against
the company and against pas
sengers who use cash and token
fares. He cited what he called
abuses of the pass privilege
where Government agencies and
private businesses circulate
passes which they buy among
their employees.
Il don't believe the pass was
devised for the convenience of
business firms and Government"
Mr.. Harvey declared, adding
that many of the downtown
transit vehicles are also loaded
with lunch-hour 'free-riders' -
people who lend their passes to
friends and fellow workers for
luncheon and shopping trips.
The rate increase request in
wolves raising cash fares from the
present II cents to 90 cents,
tokens from five for IS cents to
five for 95 cents and elimination
of the weekly pass.
If Pass Should Go.
Yesterday, Mr.. Harvey figured
that, if the pass should go, 16 per
cent of the present 2.8 million
pass-buyers would drop from the
picture altogether. The balance
would use tokens in preference
to paying cash fares and would
buy them at q rate of II tokens
per week.
Elsewhere in his testimony,
Mr.. Harvey noted that last year
the company cut down its
operating expenses by reducing
vehicle-hours on the street by |
"a, 900. This lowered the total |
vehicle-hours figure to 4,038, ESQ |
in 1852. |
