judges Letter
MY dear Mr.. President;
THE purpose Of this letter is
to infQZm you that when my
present term Of office as chief
judge of the Municipal Court of
Appeals for the District of CO.
lumbia expires in February, 1856,
I shall not wish to be reap
pointed. " Instead, / shall avail
myself Of the rights and benefits
prescribed in retirement statute
reference).
Accordingly I respectfully re-
quest that you accept my resig-
nation as Of February 20. 1856.
Grateful for Honor
II am truly grateful for the
honor and privilege of having
served in our local courts during
the past 30 years. and I am
happy to be able to report that
the work Of the Municipal Court
of Appeals is completely current
and that there has been and is
no delay in hearing or disposition
of appeals on our docket. This
is especially gratifying in view
of the fact that our caseload
continues to be a heavy one. and
the further fact that Congress
has recently entrusted to us new
jurisdiction of appeals from Dis
trict of Columbia administrative
agencies.
Although I propose to devote
my time principally to arbitra-
ton cases--a field in which I
have already worked rather ex-
tensively--and perhaps also to
legal teaching and writing, /
shall. Of course, keep myself
available for part-time judicial
duty. as provided by the statute.
VERY respectively yours.
NATHAN CAYTON."

In $40 Million TaxRise
Smith Urges
Higher Rate
On Incomes
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Suggestions for increasing the
District sales tax from 2 to 3
per cent and adopting Virginia's
income tax schedule highlighted
the opening today of Joint
House Senate hearings on a
proposed $40 million increase in
District revenues.
The new tax suggestions, from
members of the joint subcom-
Imittee of the House and Sem
ate District Committees, fore
cast a major revision of the
revenue program submitted by
the District Commissioners.
Urging quick action on city.
sponsored revenue program.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said the Districts financial crisis
has forced the Commissioners to
hold back part of the city's
spending program which Con-
Igress will be asked Monday to
enact for the coming fiscal year.
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat of Virginia, chairman Of
the Joint group and head of the
powerful House Rules Commit
tee, urged the District Commits
sioners to adopt an income tax
schedule similar to that in Vir-
ginia. This. District Finance
Officer James L. Martin said.
would produce S. million a year.
as compared to the estimated
$3.8 million anticipated under
the Commissioners plan for in
lcreasing income taxes.
Urges Sales Tax Rise
Representative Mcmillan, Dem.
locrat of South Carolina, chair
man of the House District Com
mittee. proposed a l per cent
increase in the District 2 per
cent sales tax. He asked whether
the Commissioners would seek a
presidential veto if this were
approved by Congress.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
who presented the only formal
testimony in support of the city
heads revenue program. said the
sales tax increase was likely to
drive business into Virginia
where there is no sales tax.-He
said he could not say whether
the Commissioners would ask
for a vote.
I Mr.. Smith also suggested the
possibility of adopting a wide
range of proposed sales tax in
creases, including an increase
from one percent to per cent
in the District tax on groceries.
! Mr.. Spencer insisted the Com
missioners already have pro-
posed adoption of several of the
sales increases but warned that
the Commissioners had avoided
increasing the grocery tax.
THAT tax" he said, created
wide discomfort when it was
