Mr.. Dulles said it is vitality
important to make the world
understand at this time that the
United States will continue some
foreign aid over a long period,

from a misunderstanding. They

New appeals for a substantial
increase in the Federal payment
today marked joint House-Sen'
ate hearings on proposals OF thu
Commissioners to boost city take
by more than $40 million yea
and raise the Federal share b,
81 million.
In today's hearings, which
probably will be the last before
the joint fiscal committees si
down to write up their own bill
protests also were heard against
increases in the sales tax and thu
levying of 2 per cent tax or
admissions for places Of enter.
tainment.
Taking the lead, George D
Riley. speaking for the AFL-CIO
urged the joint Congressional
group TO seek a Federal payment
in lieu of any tax increases Other
than leyies on property.
Federal Share Emphasized
He told the group headed By
Representative Smith, Demo.
crat of Virginia:
"The bill does not make ade-
quate provision for insuring that
the United States Government
as a major employer and pop
erty holder in the District. con.
tribute its proper share Of cur.
rently needed revenue.
ITO the extent that the bill
fails to provide such assurance
it carries with it the threat Of
future tax increases for District
residents without assurance Of
q proper and corresponding in.
crease of responsibility on the
part of the Congress for meet
ing its share Of such Increased
taxes"
Mr.. Riley stressed the point
that only Ala per cent OF the
land area Of the District Is tax
able. and that 46.4 per cent is
tax exempt land held by the
United States and District Gov
ernments. He said since APP
proximately 40 per cent OF the
assessed value of the land and
improvements is exempt from
taxation, 1t means that the city
Government is providing serv-
ices for extensive untaxed areas
Changes Suggested
Mr.. Riley, who also spoke fol
the Washington Central Labol
Union and the District Industrial
Union Council, said the labor
groups were on record in sup
port Of personal income tax a
graduated rates but he suggest
ed some changes be made in ths
commissioners bill so that thu
District would not be put in
competitive situation with
Maryland. Otherwise. he said
there would be an incentive fol
District taxpayers to move ovel
the line into Maryland.
He opposed higher sales taxes
on food and other products here
which would make them cos
more than those in Maryland
He also opposed proposed take.
on rentals of personal property
admissions, communications ant
higher levies for beer and wine.
Specifically, Mr.. Riley urgec
the immediate elimination Of
the per cent sales tax on gro
ceries and speedy reduction and
eventual elimination of the 2 pei
cent general sales tax.
