said the Commissioners viii pro-
pose that, under the Withholding
plan. slated to go into effect
next October l, one-haf Of 1856
taxes be forgiven.
Graduated Increase
Under this plan, a taxpayer
earning $4,000 and claiming
deductions for a family Of four
who has been paying 500 year
in income taxes to the DISTRICT
would pay $143 in 1866. $2l3 IN
1857 and $l70 a year thereafter,
according to an example put out
by District tax officials last
October.
This would be unlike the stu
alton In Maryland. which is
switching to a current collection
basis through withholding. This
year, while the State is collect
ing last years taxes, 1t also Is
collecting taxes for the current
year-without forgiving any OF
the tax.
The income tax proposal,
which would set up two new
upper brackets over $4,000 and
reduce personal exemptions from
$4,000 to $1,000. is the major
feature Of a 10-point revenue
program the Commissioners will
offer Congress. 1t is estimated
to yield $2.2 million in the next
fiscal year, and $3.8 million a
year thereafter.
The overall program is de-
signed to finance a $40 million
deficit in District finances ex-
pected by the end of the next
fiscal year. and will include a
request by the city heads that
| Congress increase the authorized
Federal payment from $40 mil
lion to $22 million a year.
List Program
Following is part Of the Com
lmissioners' statement describing
the program:
THE existing income tax Law
is perhaps the most liberal in
the United States so far as per-
Isonal exemptions are concerned
There are only approximately

RICHMOND. Dec. 3.-Final
action was set for today by the
special session of the General
Assembly on legislation to get
around the Supreme Courts de-
cision forbidding segregation in
public schools
The House of Delegates passed
the bill, SO to 5. yesterday. The
State Senate met today to
continue the debate. which has
been waged on the floor of the
House and at public hearings
since the special session con-
vened on Wednesday.
The Senate is expected to
approve the bill today. Only
four, at most, of the 40 mem
bers were expected to vote
against it.
Gray Hits Fund Charges
Senator Garland Gray de-
clared today there is no truth in
charges the education program
recommended by his commission
would take State funds from
some sections of Virginia for
benefit of children of sections
that may abandon public schools.
Such charges have come out
of the fog of distortion and mis-
representation" arising since the
Commission on Public Education
made public its proposals In mid
November, he said.
Senator Gray briefly reviewed
the commissions work and said
the bill before the Senate. all
ready approved by the Delegates,
simply would put before the
people the question of a consti-
tutional convention to amend
section 14l.
The commission chairman

to take only a few hours at the
most.
Senator Gray declared the 80
man commission had leaned

concerned in preserving educa-
tional opportunities for all of the
