On DC. Tax Bill

Fiscal subcommittee Of the
House and Senate District Com
mittees will meet again this
week to start writing their bill
to bring city finances into bal
ance.
The Joint group probably will
meet Thursday or Friday.
Chairman Samuel Spencer OF
the Board Of Commissioners has
notified the group he is ready
to supply additional information
requested last week. They would
meet Tuesday except for the
fact that Representative Smith.
Democrat of Virginia, who is
chairman Of the House Rules
Committee. will be tied up for
Ia day or two with the matter OF
Federal aid to education and
other pending measures.
Some changes will be consid-
cred in the SOL million addi-
tional tax program proposed by
the Commissioners. but Chair
man Smith has said he did not
regard the additional data re-
quested to be Significant" AS
he put 1t, the joint fiscal sub
committees merely wanted "a
little more leeway" so they
would have full information on
some substitute items II the rs
cal subcommittee decided to
drop one or more Of the pro-
posals Of the Commissioners.
Involved in this substitute
plan is the question Of whether
to levy 2 per cent tax on admis-
sions to theaters and other
places Of amusement and on
communications notably tele-

Employment in the Washing

The number Of persons hold

For the entire year, employ

December, 1854. The second
largest increase was reported by
Federal, State and local govern
ments. tt.fsa
Exceptions Noted
Only railroads, hotels, bars,
restaurants and general mer-
chandise stores had fewer en-
.ployes during December than
they had a year ago.
! Although a steady increase is
predicted for this year, Mr..
Hetzel said, the record December
level of jobs is not expected to
be maintained. He said there
will be a substantial seasonal de-
cline in retail trade. construction
and the Federal Government.
The big drop, of course, is in the
number Of temporary employees
hired for the Christmas season
by stores and the Post ONCE.
The report covers the Wash

bracing the District. Prince
Georges, Montgomery. Arlington
and Fairfax Counties and the
cities Of Alexandria and Falls

I.8 million is included.
The December totals "high-
light the sharp improvement In
the job situation and the marked
expansion of the Capitol's labor
force during 1856" Mr.. Hetzel
said.
Construction Led
During the past year, he said. |
construction work throughout the |
area accounted for the largest
Job rise. He said more than
5000 additional workers were
employed in building over 1854.
For 1856, he said, there should
be large gains in downtown en-

Teacher-PupiI
Ratio Cited in
Budget Slash
D. c. High School
Glasses Average
2 Under Standard
By JAMES G. DEANE

BY JAMES G. DEANE
The Board Of Education's
pending teacher budget was
slashed because District junior
and senior high schools have q
favorable pupil-tescher ratio,
Commissioner Robert & Nc
Laughlin said last night.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the fact
that high school classes this
school year average between %
and % pupils-compared to q
standard of 25--weighed heavily
In the budget slash.
The city official made the COM
ment on the weekly WWDC
commissioners Report" radio
program.
He also pointed out. in discuss
ing the matter with recorders,
that the District high school
ratio was better than that in a
group of other large cities
surveyed by the District. Junior
highs here also compared favor
ably in the survey, he said.
Transfer System Noted
Because of the ratio situation,
the city heads felt most elemen-
Itary teacher needs could be met
by salary transfers from the
secondary level. Mr.. Mclaughlin
explained.
The Board Of Education last
Wednesday took q contrary
position, dropping a previously
approved plan to transfer Sec
ondary salaries. The board also
voted to appeal to Congress to
grant more teacher funds.
/ The Commissioners granted
funds for 40 more elementary
teachers. but the school board
now is asking for 1870.
| Board President c. Melvin
Sharpe said last night he is
hoping for an invitation soon
from a Congressional committee
now studying District revenue
to present the boards case.
Mr. Mclaughlin said in last
nights broadcast that the Dis
trict was barred by the Federal
Budget Bureau from seeking
more than q $22 million Federal
contribution to District expenses.
The District government has
been contending that larger
payment would be justified by
the Governments large occu-
pancy Of non-taxed property
here. as well as other considera-
tons.
Tax Rise Opposed
Meanwhile, the Washington
Iians have urged that funds for
1863 new teachers be restored to
the Districts 1857 budget.
The group deplored the cut to
40 new teachers from the 1853 re-
quested by the school board.
The Westinghouse. at their
Friday meeting. also opposed any
increase in District taxes. The
group asked a SO per cent con-
Itribution by the Federal Govern
ment to the District budget, or q
Government-controlled lottery as
an alternative.

the type of planning best for &C.

AS the league has included

were asked from the audience.
Mr.. Burns explained the pro-
posed court house and jail an

all the county buildings are
practically in the prehistoric"
