Truman Budget Tax
On c. Family Put
At $3,745 Average

If the $78.6 billion Federal
budget submitted yesterday by
President Truman were passed
by Congress, the average tax
burden on the District family
would be $3,145, the highest of
any jurisdiction in the country.
This detail was reported to-
day by the United States Cham
ber of Commerce, which said the
national average tax per family
would be $1,757.
Among the States, the MiSsiS-
sippi average would rank low
est, at 1868 per family, and the
Delaware average highest, at
$2,331 per family. Connecticut
and New York would be close
behind, with $2,216 and $2,20l.
respectively.
Laurence F. Lee. president of
the chamber, has proposed that
the budget be reduced to $40
billion. If this were done, the
national average tax would drop
by about $192, and the District
average by $345 per family.
The Nations Capital stands
highest on the list Of per capita
earnings. which explains the
large share in the national tax
bill.

7 Atomic Spies
Ask President
For C|ennency
Rosenberes' Appeal
To Be Studied by
Justice Department

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
convicted of conspiring to give
atom secrets to Russia, today
asked President Truman to spare
their lives.
They had been sentenced to
die in the electric chair at New
York's Sing Sing Prison next
Wednesday. The plea for presi-
dental clemency was filed at the
Justic Department by Michael
B. Atkins, one of the defense
attorneys.
The Rosenbergs had been
given until today by Federal
Judge Irving r. kaufman to file
the petition. The judge said the
filing would mean an automatic
stay of execution until five days
after the President announces
his decision on the clemency
appeal.
1Acd xS LdSL hcSOFts
The Rosenbergs, husband and
wife, have lost all of their court
appeals, and the plea to Mr.
Truman is their last resort.
A spokesman at Justice said
the departments pardon attor-
neys will review the case
and make their recommendation
to Attorney General McGranery
who in turn will give his recon-
nendation to President Truman.
The petition was described as
lengthy but its contents were
not made public.
Rosenberg, "a, and mis- wife,
36. were convicted March 20,
1851 OF conspiring to give atom
bomb secrets to Russia. Judge
kaufman in denying judicial
clemency. described their crime
as worse than murder. The
Rosenbergs have said they are
innocent.
Pickets, calling on the Presi-
dent to spare the Rosenbergs,
have marched outside the White
House all week.
Rarely Takes Personal Hand.
An administration official in
position to know how such things
are handled told a reporter it is
a rare thing for Mr.. Truman to
take a personal hand, beyond
the mere formal acceptance of
Recommendations from Subordi-
mates in clemency cases.
So far as the official could
recall, there has been only one
case in recent years in which
the President has gone any fur
ther than that.
Last July Mr.. Truman COM
muted to life Imprisonment the
sentence of Oscar Collazo, the
Puerto Rican nationalist who
had been sentenced to death for
the Staying of a White House
policeman, Leslie Coffelt, in an
assassination attempt against
Mr.. Truman. The official said
that decision represented ex-
hauStive study by the President
himself.
