Second Term Approved
For Atkinson on RIA

The Senate District Commit
tee today voted unanimously for
the confirmation of Richard r.
Atkinson for a second five-year
term as member of the Rede-
velopment Land Agency.
His service on the board was
praised by John A. Remon, vice
chairman of the board.
In another action the commit
tee ordered a favorable report
on an amendment to the District
Credit Union Act. This bill,
among other changes. removes
present restrictions on the num-
ber of shares which may be held
by Credit Union members. They
now are limited to 200 shares.
The committee also approved
q joint resolution to grant an
additional $4,000 to the Office
of the District Rent Admins
traitor.
Robert F. Cogswell, rent ad-
ministrator, explained that his
Office now is without payroll
money because Congress last
year appropriated funds for only
eight months operation al
though in another action it ex-
tended the life of District rent
control for 10 months to April 80.

Leonard Sattler, attorney for
the woman, said she had been

Without hesitation" Mr..
Sattler said, Mrs. Opanowich

asked for a Catholic burial"
The mother, free on $4,000
bond, is expected to attend the
burial service at 2 pm. at Ar

PATE Hopes Risk Is Past
In Juvenile Dope Use

DR.. j. R. Pate, director of the
District Health Department. S
Southwest Health Center, hopes
the peak has been reached in
the trend toward the use of mar
cotics by juveniles.
He addressed the Lutheran
Ministerial Association yesterday.
He pointed out that "the con-
certed efforts on the part of both
Federal and local authorities
have been exerted on the prob
lem" and the increase in juve-
nile addiction has been halted.
Many young persons, he said,
drift into the habit by doing
what they think the rest of the
gang" does.
The ministers, meeting in
Luther Place Memorial Church.
heard Katherine Sheuck. direc-
tor of the Lutheran servicemen's
program, report that the lounge
at 927 New York avenue NV.
must revise its program to meet
modern needs. She pointed out
the Saturday night events are
not drawing the crowds the
church had expected.

tor of st. Johns Lutheran

ing Site-by the Senate Of

by the Government in 1949.
The Districts loss in revenue
on that property is more than
$4,000 a year.
D. The General Accounting
Office Site, purchased by the
Government in 1941, causes a
loss to the District of more
than $4,000 a year. Since it's
purchase, the District Gov
ernment has lost $154,OOO in
revenue.
These illustrations reflect
the impact of Federal pur-
chaseS of real estate on Dis
trict revenues. These four
items alone represent a loss
of more than $5O0,OOO. Such
losses in revenue cannot be
replaced. In fact, it seems
almost policy of Congress to
require and expect the resi-
dents of Washington to make
up such losses in revenues by
increased taxation,

Capt. Sullivan has been chief

Ratio of Expenses
Is Best Method

Mr.. President, the District of
Columbia government cannot
properly handle its own finan-
cial affairs, and determine how
it will support it's services, un-
less it knows what it's revenue
will be. 1t cannot know what
its revenues will be unless it
has some assurance of what it
is going to receive from the
Federal Government. The best
way to provide such assurance,
in my own mind is to estab-
Hsh a certain fixed ratio of ex-
penses between the Federal
Government and the District
of Columbia.
The Nation, through it's
Congress, must assume for the
future a fixed share of the
burden of operating and main
tanning its National Capital. I
think we should do this by
adopting a fixed ratio of Fed
eral payment of not less thar
Is per cent of the total ex-
penses of the city of Washing
ton, excluding special funds.
Such a proposal would, in
my estimation, solve a num-
ber of important problems con-
nected with District appropria-
tionS.
First, it would provide Con-
greSs with an adequate and
permanent basis for determin-
ing annually what is a fair
payment from the United
States Government.
Second. it would simplify
the problems here in Congress
by making unnecessary the.
yearly controversy over the
form and amount of Federal
payment to the District.
Third. it would simplify the
District budgeting problem by
settling the role of the Federal
Government in financing the
District. The fixed ratio of 25
per cent would make certain
for District officials the extent
and character of the Federal
payment.
While I am not introducing
legislation at this time, I be-
lieve that the District Com
mittee should make a serious
study of the feasibility of this
proposal.
Mr.. President, Washington
is the jewel of American cities
the symbol of freedom for
the people of all the world. I
hope that this year Congress
will begin a new era in our
Federal and District relations.
I hope that it will be an era
in which the Nation will again
recognize its responsibility to-
ward Washington and act to
balance governmental rule with
proper financial support.

Causes That UnderIie
Districts Condition

I think we ought to look at
some Of the causes that under
lie the Districts financial con-
dition.
The first problem is the real
estate or land situation in the
District of Columbia.
AS Senators know, the Dis
trict of Columbia is an area
that is fixed. It cannot ex-
pand. It can never reach out
and annex new territory. The
total land area of Washington,
excluding the streets, is about
30,688 acres. But less than 48
per cent of the real estate in
Washington is taxable. Think
of 1.-THE city of Washington
is not allowed to tax So per
Of the land and real estate
within its borders.
Moreover, the District is
losing more and more land
and real estate every year
which it could normally tax.
But the Federal Government
is expanding. And every time
the Federal Government buys
property. the tax revenues
previously received on such
property is lost to the District.
I have prepared a chart for
the record which illustrates
how Federal purchases of real
estate are rapidly decreasing
District revenues. Quoting
from that chart:
A. The Cosmos Club prop
erty was bought by the Gov
ernment in 1910. The annual
revenue lost to the District of
Columbia amounts to $22,-
843. Since 1910 the District
has lost in total revenues
$273,600.
B. The Blair House was pur-
chased by the Government in
1941. The tax revenue lost
each year Is well over $1,000.
This is roughly $4,000 since
its purchase.

Flanagan Rides
Streetcor in First
Day WithC. T.C.

Former Public Utilities Com.
mission Chairman James H.
Flanagan was a customer as well
as a new employe Of the Capital
Transit Co. yesterday.
Mr.. Flanagan rode to his first
day of work as transit vice
president on the streetcar.
He chose mass transportation,
he explained. because of the un-
attractive driving conditions
fostered by the snow-"just as
many more citizens should have
done"
Announcement on January 80
that the utilities expert would
join the transit company set of
criticism at the Capitol. But
the event yesterday created little
stir. -

Demands Are Highest
In District History

Mr.. President, these and
many ether items make up the
services. expenses, and obliga-
tions of tine city of Washington
in its relations to our Federal
government. These demands
upon the municipal govern
meut are the highest in his
tory. And--yet-the Federal
contribution is near the lowest
in history. In my opinion. it
means that the Federal gov
ernmeIt is exercising little
better thsn "squatter's rights"
in the city of Washington.
Many people will ask, why
don't the people of Washing
ton do more for themselves?
Why don't they impose new
taxes and higher taxes?"
In answer to that question.
I will say that while I served
on the District Committee
I found the residents of Wash
ington always ready and will
ing to pay their full share for
the upkeep and operations of
the National Capital. The rec
ord speaks for itself.
In 1851, District resident
paid an average of $128.61 in
city taxes. This was the high
est per capita rate recorded in
any big American city.
District tax collections have
jumped more than 210 per cent
in the last 10 years. We know
now that the District of CO.
lumbia has tapped its last
major reservoir of revenue. I
am speaking of the sales tax.
We know now that any further
increases in taxes, especially
in real estate taxes, would
cause more people and more
businesses to move beyond the
District borders. We know now
that the taxpayers of Wash
ington have all the burdens
they can carry.
When we think of the
mounting operating costs-and
the ever higher taxes on the
people of Washington-and
compare them with the low
Federal payment year after
year, we can reach only one
conclusion. The failure of the
Federal Government to make
it's fair payment has shifted
the burden directly to the tax
payers of the District. To the
extent that the residents of
Washington foot the bill" for
services to the Federal Govern
ment, they are subsidizing the
Federal Government. We can
not look on it any other way.

Irate D. T.. Customers
Checkmate No-Check
Rule on Auto Tags

@ Sauawks from irate citizens
brought a change at the De-
partment Of Vehicles and Traffic
today. Despite signs reading to
the contrary. clerks were ac-
cepting personal checks for 1858
auto tags.
Some potential tag buyers
were miffed yesterday, first day
of the 1853 sale. by the refusal
to accept anything but cash,
money orders or certified checks.
One car owner more irate than
the others carried his beef to
the Collector of Taxes. then the
Commissioners, and finally The
Evening Star
Confusion stemmed from the
fact that earlier Guy w. Pearson
collector of taxes, had decided
to postpone the no-personal-
check ultimatum at least until
next year. But the signs went
up, anyway.
Today Mr.. Pearson said he
had ordered his assistants, who
sell the tags for the Traffic De-
partment, to accept personal
checks. However, the signs will
remain up, at least temporarily
he said.
Yesterday the Office sold 4,887
tags over the counter and mailed
943 more. Officials have re-
quested motorists to pick up
their own tags to save the Dis
trict a 20-cent postage fee on
each mailed tag. However, if
customers insist, they will be
mailed out.
