Corporotion-Excise Tax Bill

Kansas City Control

KANSAS CITY, Mar. 81 IT,
The Citizens Association re-
tanned political control of city
affairs for another four years by
sweeping into all offices except
one in Tuesdays municipal
election.
H. Roe Bartle, businessman
and Boy Scout area executive,
was elected Mayor by 2-to-l
majority over Berl Berry, wealthy
automobile dealer. Mr.. Bartle
pulled 56.968 votes to 2S,474 for
his opponent.
OF eight council posts, only
one went to candidate running
without Citizens Association
support. Thomas j. Gavin,
backed by the Pendergast DEM
ocratic organization, retained his
seat.
1t was is years ago that the
Citizens Association ousted the
Democratic machine headed by
Boss Tom Pendergast from the
City Hall. The association has
maintained control since that
time.
After Tom Pendergast died,
remnants Of his organization
were inherited by a nephew,
James Pendergast. The present

weaker than Boss Toms organi-
zation, is one Of several Demo-
cratic factions.

short and sweet in contrast to
the fight which last month re-
suited in adoption of a Demo-
cratic amendment for a $40

The Senate Finance Committee
knocked out the $40. reduction
provision. The Senate itself de-
feated Democratic moves for a
smaller reduction. Senate-House
conferees eventually agreed on

duced.

VA Hospital for Area
Defeated as House
Turns Down Funds

"A veterans hospital Tor the
Washington metropolitan area
stayed in the promising" stage
today as a result of House re-
fusal. at least until next year.
to allot 81 million for plans for
such a project.
Debate on the proposal by
Representative Broyhill. Repub-
lican. Of Virginia. enlivened an
otherwise almost routine discus
sion by the House late yesterday
in passing a $5,845, 595,375
money bill for operation of ls
independent agencies during the
fiscal year starting July /.
AS had been forecast by a
Rules Committee move earlier
this week, an Appropriations
Committee proposal for stricter
Congressional control" Of ex-
penditures for public housing
projects was stricken from the
bill.
Point Of Order
1t was ruled out on a point
Of order that 1t amounted to
legislation in an appropriation
bill. The provision would have
banned such expenditures unless
projects were approved by the
House Banking Committee "A
power which members Of that
committee said they neither
asked nor wanted. Other oppo-
nents Of the provision attacked
it as a device to obstruct what
ever Is left Of the public housing
program.
Numerous other proposed
amendments were offered. Few
were approved and those did not
materially affect the appropria-
ton totals.
The amendment submitted by
Mr.. Broyhill was supported by
most members from Maryland
and Virginia and several others
who called attention to the need
for new veterans hospital here.
Representative Thomas, Demo-
crat. Of Texas. however, de-
scribed 1t as a hometown
amendment. He said he would
support 1t only If the outlay
were approved by the Budget
Bureau and came through regu-..
lar channels" -
Defeated on Voice Vote
The amendment, defeated on
a voice vote, would have ear
marked 81 million for prepara-..
ton Of plans for a hospital in
accordance with a 1945 authors
cation. 1t would not have called
for an additional expenditure
but would have taken the 81 mil
lion from a $50 million item for
repair of veterans hospitals gen.
orally. That proposed transfer
aroused protests by some mem
bers, including Representative
Devereux, Republican, of Mary
land.
At the end of the long debate
on the Broyhill move, Repre-
sentative Phillips, Republican, of
California, left a ray of hope by
reporting that a veterans hospi-
tai for the District area was
next on the list" and probably
would be considered at the next
session of Congress.
The bill. which now goes to the
Senate, would give the Veterans
Administration $4.4 billion. some
$40 million more than President
Eisenhower requested. The Civil
Defense Administration would
get $58.7 million, the Federal
Communications Commission $6.8
million and the Selective Service
Administration $3.50 million. An
overall appropriation of $50
million for repair of Govern
ment-owned buildings includes
SIS million for such repair work
on structures in the District.
