81 Million Rise OKd
In Payment to D. C.,
Senate Group Hits
Congress Attitude
As 'Pursimonious'
BY DON S. WARREN

In a rebellion against the
"parsimonious attitude of Con-
gress toward its National Capt.
tai the Senate District Commit
tee today voted to raise the aN-
thorized amount of the Federal
payment to S24 million.
This would be an increase Of
81 million instead Of only So mil
lion over the present Federal
share as voted Tuesday by the
House when it passed the Dis
trict's new $12 million revenue
program.
The action was taken by the
Senate committee at the insist
ent urging of Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon. He de-
nounced Congress for the
amounts 1t has been willing to
grant in the past as Uncle Sans
share of the costs of maintaining
and developing the city.
Hits Meals Exemption Cut
Senator Morse also served noe
tice that he was solidly opposed
to some other features of the
revenue bill, He struck out
against the proposal to raise
an additional $4,000 from the
sales tax on meals by lowering
the exemption from so cents to
13 cents.
He also announced his belief
that the proposed increase of
taxes on liquor. wines and beer
should be cut in half. He also
said he wanted eliminated an
entire section of the bill provid-
ing for application of the per
cent sales tax on the rental Of
tangible personal property.
The committee agreed with
Senator Morse in part on the
personal property rental tax by
voting to exempt linen and
diaper services from this levy.
Persons in the business had APP
pealed to the committee for the
exemption. contending the levy
would be discriminatory because
regular commercial laundries do
not have to pay the sales tax.
Open to Press at First
In the beginning, the commit
tee session vas open to the press
as members of the group dis
Icussed tax features item by item.
Some other members of the
group in addition to Senator
Morse objected to some of the
features.
But when the Oregonian an
nounced he had to leave, for
another meeting and insisted
that q major fight should be
made to boost the Federal pay
ment, a protest came immedi-
iately from Senator Beall, Re-
publican of Maryland. that he
and others had been trying for
years to get the Federal share
brought up to a more equitable
level,
Senator Baall moved that the
committee &C into executive Sss-
sion when Senator Morse asked
that the clerk record his motions
to strike some items and to boost
=, the Federal payment This was
done when Committee Counsel
William P. Gulledge read from
the rules of the committee that
proxy votes were not permitted.
Senator Morse stayed with the
committee until it had voted the
measure reported to the Senate
with the two amendments.
Acting Chairman Bible, Demo-
crat Of Nevada. did not announce
the vote. During the open ses-
sion Senator Beall reminded the

Quota System
Is Abandoned
By Tax Agency
Internal Revenue
Revises Procedure on
Processing Cases
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

In move to bolster morale in
the Internal Revenue Service.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Russell c. Harrington has abol-
ished the much-criticized quota
system for tax agents and col
lectors, The Star learned today.
Under the quota system, estab-
lished three years ago by Mr..
Earrington's predecessor,
It. Coleman Andrews, tax agents
and collectors had to process a
fixed number of cases during
specific periods or face loss of
their jobs.
The agents and collectors were
resentful and indignant over the
quota system. declaring that ad-
judication of tax cases could not
be conducted on that basis and
that it was unfair to expect
them to meet a fixed quota.
They complained that some
cases were more involved and
complicated than others and
couldn't be processed on an
assembly, Line" basis.
Honest Days Work
In abolishing the quota system
Mr.. Harrington told top Internal
Revenue officials that, from now
on, the only criterion will be that
tax collectors and agents per-
form an honest days work under
requirements set up for these
Jobs by the Civil Service Com
mission.
Morale has been a serious
problem in the agency for the
last five or six years. The agen-
cy's $4,000 employees were first
rocked by the tax scandals dur
ing the previous Democratic ad-
ministration. When Mr.. Andrews
took over under the Eisenhower
administration, he set out to
clean house.
The resultant reorganization
and economy job cutbacks zone
out of every four Internal Reve-
nue. employees were either dis
missed or downgradedD caused
morale TO sink to new low.
No Reflection Intended
When Mr.. Harrington took
over several months ago, one of
his first acts was to inform en-
ployeS there was no further job
Shakeups in the offing and that
the agency was embarking on a
settling down" period. And now.
MIR. Harrington's action in abol-
ishing the quota system is an
other move to increase the agen-
cy's effectiveness by bolstering
employe morale.
Top Internal Revenue officials
say Mr.. Harrington action was
not intended as a reflection on
Mr.. Andrews They say Mr.. An
draWs was brought in to clean
up the agency and that he ac-
conpliShed this task.
