With last summers tax in

closed yesterday.
Schuyler Lowe, District direc-
tor OF general administration,
said the figures from July /
through April indicated revenue
was "a little better" than ex-
pected.
The increased revenues result
largely from new taxes levied
last year under the Districts
Public Works Act, designed to
finance a 10-year. $305 million
construction program.
And, less than year later,
city heads are again hunting
even more additional revenue

finance spiraling costs and ex-
pected pay raises. The Federal
Budget Bureau is now consider
ing a request from the Commits
sioners to support a plan that
the additional burden be split
half-and-half between local tax
payers and an increase in the
Federal payment.
Individual income taxes, in

Realty Boards
.Hit on Public
Housing Data
Commissioner Sees
Recent Charges
As Distorted

The Federal Public Housing
commissioner today accused the
National Association Of Real
Estate Boards Of using distortion
and fraud" to campaign against
public housing.
The official, Charles E. Slusser.
singled out NAREB statistics on
public housing use in the Dis
trict. Commissioner SlusSer
made his accusation in an ad.
dress before the Southwestern
Regional Council Of the National
Association of Housing and Re-
development officials.
The statistics used by NAREB
President Henry G. Waltemade
in a recent editorial showed that
Of 1000 families on relief here
only Al were permitted" in
public housing projects.
Charging that the association
employed either fake or negli-
gent statistics" Mr.. Slusser de-
clared that there are actually
399 reliefers in such projects In
the District.
Most Recent Survey Cited
Mr.. Slusser's statement was
supported by figures obtained
from James Ring. executive di-
rector of National Capital Hous-
ing Authority, which admins
tiers the public housing program
here.
Mr.. Ring said that in the most
recent survey conducted by his
office, 399 families. or 1875 per
cent, of the $3.50 families actu-
ally occupying public housing
subsist entirely on public assist
ance payments.
The housing official surmised
that NAREB may have got its
47-family occupancy figure from
recent spot-check conducted
by NCHA among 400 families
living in these projects.
Mr.. Ring added that 81 per
cent of all occupancies are fam
lilies receiving $4,000 or less in
annual income.
Other Observations Denied
Mr.. Slusser cited as inaccu-
rate other observations made in
the NAREB editorial appearing
in a recent issue of the realtors
periodical, Headlines, and de-
clared:
''NAREB has tried through the
years to make public housing q
synonym for socialism. for COM
munism, for something un-
American. Tell me, is it un-
American to want to live in
decent homes?"
Mr.. Waltemade, meanwhile.
today delivered a further blast
against "abuses" of the public
housing program in a hearing
by the Senate Housing subcom-
mittee. He offered several ex-
amples-not including the Dis
trict-of the program in some
cities where public housing is "a
special privilege with rents
pegged high enough to return
a net profit, yet conforming to
what we believe is national
pattern of systematic exclusion
of needy people as tenants"
