Nicely Favors
25% Lump Sum
For District
Backs Johnston
In Move to Boost
Federal Payment
By Don S. Wdrren

Senator Neely, Democrat, Of
West Virginia today voiced solid
support of the proposal of a J
Senate colleague for a big In
crease in the size of the Federal
payment toward National Capt.
tai expenses.
There is crying need for it,"
said the veteran lawmaker, now
the ranking minority member of
the Senate District Committee.
His comment was on the pro-
posal of Senator Johnston, DEM
ocrat, of South Carolina, out
lined yesterday in the Senate,
for the adoption of a fixed for
mula for the determination of
the size of the Federal share.
Would Mean S28 Million.
Senator Johnston said the
Federal share should not be less
than 25 per cent of the Dis
trict's general fund costs. On
the basis of the pending 1884
million 1854 budget, this would
mean a Federal payment Of
$29.8 million.
This would be in sharp con-
traSt to the present $11 million
lump sum, which is 81 million
short of the sum authorized by
Congress when it adopted the
last District Revenue Act.
Senator Nicely said: For the
last 20 years, I have been trying
to get a substantial increase in
the Federal payment. although
agree that my efforts have
been rather Intellectual.
Voices Support.
II am most sympathetic to-
ward the proposal of Senator
Johnston. I could not hear his
address and do not know if the
Is per cent formula is quite the
answer, but I am 100 per cent
in support of the principle.
1T could be that the per-
centage should be higher than
that. If there is a necessity for
a higher payment, then I would
be willing to go as high as 40
or SO per cent"
The District Commissioners
voted today to send letter of
appreciation to Senator Johns
ton. The city heads also planned
to write a thank-you note to
Senator Bush, Republican, Of
Connecticut, for calling for an
increased Federal payment to the
District.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dom
ohue. during the television
broadcast of your Commission
ers' Report" over WMAL-TV last
night, pointed out that if the
Federal payment were increased,
financing of the city's proposed
public works program would be
easier.
There was, however, little
other clear and immediate re.
action.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee, said he did
not want to discuss the Federal
payment at this time.
Hits misunderstanding.
One Senator, active in District
affairs, said there has been a lot
of misunderstanding about the
proposal for fixed formula. His
point was that one Congress
could not bind later Congresses
on what should be appropriated
for this or other purposes.
The pending Washington home
rule bill carries a provision that
would authorize a Federal pay
ment of 20 per cent of the Dis
trict's previous year tax revenues.
But when asked about this, one
of the Senate supporters of home
rule said that provision in the
suffrage measure has caused
difficulties" "

Senate Group
Backs Bill for
D. {. Delegate
.Non-Voter in House
Would Be Elected
In 1854 Under Plan

The Senate District Commit
tee today unanimously voted to
send to the Senate the Case
Nicely bill for the election of a
non-voting District delegate in
the House.
This is the most limited Of
the several suffrage proposals
which have been before the COM
mittee. Action on the Washing
ton home rule bill for an elected
form of city government is being
deferred until later in the year.
Agree on Value of Delegate.
The five committee members
attending today'S session agreed
that a District delegate would
be of value to the people of the
District and to Congress.
Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, committee chair
man, said he was convinced of
this because of the experience
OF delegates to the House from
Alaska: and Hawaii.
Senator Gore, Democrat, of
Tennessee asked whether it was
thought the principal value
would be by giving the District
a voice in the House or whether
1t would be from the Inaugural
ton Of elections in the District.
Senator Barrett, Republican,
Of Wyoming said he felt a Dis
trict delegate in the House, hav-
Ing the right to introduce bills
and to speak in the chamber,
would serve to make District
problems better understood. 81
think it will result in real good"
Bean Approves Step.
Senator Beall, Republican, of
Maryland has said that he
thought the election of a dele
gate would be a "step in the
right direction" He said the
delegates Office would serve as
q clearing house where District
people could go with their prob
lens.
He and others agreed that the
delegate would be right busy"
Senator Beall asked questions
to make sure that the bill pro-
Vided for the election only of a
delegate and added Il don't
know if we should start electing
all officers of the District"
If enacted, the first delegate
would be elected in 1854. Like
members of the House, he would
be paid $12,500 a year and have
a $4,000 expense account.
Several changes were written
into the bill. One would require
that. a candidate for delegate
must have been domici1ed in the
District for three years prior to
the election.
Another would raise from 100
to 1000 the number of signatures
required on a petition for nomi-
nation. Voting would be CITY,
wide and not by wards and the
winner would have to gain a
majority of the votes. There
would be a runoff election for the
two highest vote getters if no
one won majority at the first
election.

Foreign Nations Own
Tox-Exempt Property

In addition to property
federally owned-there is the
impact of privately owned tax
exempt property. Foreign gov
ernments own large and valu-
able holdings here in WASH
ington for embassy and lega-
tion purposes. They are all
exempt from the payment of
taxes for real estate. There
are also many large national
organizations which-over the
years - have secured special
acts of Congress exempting
them from land and real estate
taxes.
More important-the future
program already approved by
Congress indicates more and
more tax exemptions in
Washington.
How much do the Federal
exemptions on land and real
estate cost the District gov
ernment in terms of revenue?
/. If taxed, Federal real
property would produce each
year, $19 million.
2. If taxed, real estate owned
by national organizations, for
eign governments, and other pri-
vate property now exempt from
taxation, would produce almost
$3.5 million.
Mr.. President, no other city
government in the United
States is expected to operate
and to take care of it's finan-
cial needs under such crippling
tax exemptions as those i'm
posed by Congress on the Dis
trict of Columbia:
While we are thinking in
terms of real estate, we might
also point to the ever-widen-
ing park areas in the City of
Washington. The National
Geological Park is maintained
and operated solely from Dis
trict funds. Much of Rock
Greek Park was acquired with
District money-and although
the title is in the United
States. the job Of policing and
maintaining these parks is at
District expense.
Turning to another major
problem underlying the Dis
trict's financial situation-we
ought to look at a few of the
services performed by the city
for the Federal Government.
I shall name just a few.
/. Fire department services,
washing and pumping out
flooded Federal buildings, spe-
cial details. and fire fighting
instructions.
2. Water furnished Federal
agencies-for which Congress
pays less than full cost.
3. Installing curbs and gut
ters abutting Federal property,
as well as building highways,
sidewalks and alleys.
4. Handling and treating
sewage from Federal property.
S. Issuing motor vehicle liz
cense plates and special plates.
6. Temporary home for ex-
soldiers and ex-sailors.
6. Cleaning streets abutting
Federal property and refuse
disposal.
8. Special police details for
Federal purposes.
Mr.. President, the final
major problem underlying the
Districts growing financial
crisis is the obligations Of the
municipal government in con-
nection with Federal programs.
l. The improvement. main
tenance, and policing Of fed
orally owned parks cost the
District government over 81
million a year.
2 Expenses of National Zoo
logical Park cost $615, 900 a
year
5. Land purchased and to be
purchased and titled in the
United States under the Cap
pei -Cramton Act is set at $16
million.

happens to the District led him
to make a speech in the Senate
yesterday in 1Uhich he told
Dhat he'd learned about its
affairs. This is a partial tert
OF lDhGt he had to say:
In 1917 the total cost of
running the city of Washing
ton was about $40 million. In
1945 the total cost had in
creased to $40 million. And for
the fiscal year 1852 the costs
climbed to $12O million. De-
spite these Increased demands
for services, and rising costs,
the Federal share of the
city's operating expenses has
dwindled to only a fraction.
The record shows that the
Federal payment has shrunk
from so per cent-to 40 per
cent-to 80 per cent. At the
present time it is less than 9
per cent-the lowest Federal
contribution toward the oper-
ating costs of the city Of
Washington in the history of
our Nation.
The Federal payment" is
not a subsidy. It is not a
grant in aid" Rather-it is
a payment that the Federal
Government owes to the mu-
nicipal government for serv-
ices performed during the
year.
If we go into the history be-
tween the National Govern
ment and the city of Wash
ington, we will find that the
Federal payment has gone
through four major phases:
During the first period be-
tween 1890 and 1878 there
was no fixed system for Fed
eral payment. In some years
there were lump sum pay
ments and in other years there
were no payments at all. But
the average payment during
this early period was about Is
per cent of the city budget.
During the second period
from 1879 to 1921-the Dis
trict of Columbia was on a So
so basis with the Federal Gov
ernment. This fixed ratio pay
ment-established in the Or
ganic Act of 1878-lasted for
almost half a century.
The third period began in
1921 when Congress ignored
the Organic Act and provided
for a 40-60 basis Of payment.
The Federal Government paid
40 per cent. The same plan
was used in 1922. In 1923 the
40-60 ratio basis Of payment
was supposed to have been
made permanent.
The final period in the his
tory of the Federal payment
began in 1925 when Congress
adopted the present lump-sum
payment system. The first
lump-sum payment was for SO
million, or about 80 per cent
of the city's expenses for that
year. But during the period
since 1925-and up to the
present time - the Federal
share has gone down from 80
per cent to less than 9 per
cent.
Mr.. President, throughout
the years District officials and
civic organizations have urged
Congress to establish a definite
policy of fair and regular Fed
eral payments for the upkeep
of our National Capital. But
just as soon as Congress adopts
a policy-as the record shows
it proceeds to ignore it and
appropriates an arbitrary Fed
eral share. This is often done
without measuring the services
it has obtained, or expects to
obtain. from the District gov
ernment. The officials and
residents of Washington can
not have any assurance-from
year to year-as to what per-
centage of payment the Con-
gress will allow toward the
operating costs of the Nations
Capital.
