Aimed at 30 Average
The plan advocated by the
Commissioners would transfer at
least SO salaries from secondary
to elementary schools to help
maintain a 36-pupil elementary
class average. The commission
ers allowed 40 new elementary
teachers in this connection.
DR.. Corning said elementary
teachers are urgently needed,
for 100 instead of the
40, in order to launch a justified
three-year program to cut the
elementary average to 80. But
he declared:
"Only as a last resort-all
other efforts to secure additional
teachers for the elementary
schools having failed--should
consideration be given to trans
ferring salaries from secondary
to elementary schools"

was voted down with only one
member voting for it.
Among other major items in
the bill as now being sent to
the House are:
/. An increase of 100000 in
the sales tax on restaurant meals
to be achieved by reducing the
exemption level from so cents
to IS cents. On this point, a
move was made in the commit
tee to restore the 50-cent level
but it was voted down. A move
to raise the sales tax on gro
ceries from the present 1 per
cent to 2 per cent, was rejected
2. Higher liquor taxes: the
present tax of 81 per gallon on
spirits would be increased tc
$1.25-this being estimated to
produce an additional $3.50, 900
The tax on beer would be raised
from the present SIPS a BARRE
to $3.50 a barrel, estimated tc
bring in an additional $4,000
a year. The bill also changes
taxes on wines so as to produce
increased venues between
1885, 900 and $275,000 a year.
Wines Levy Goes Up
A new tax of S cents per gal
lon would be levied on table
wines containing IA per cent OF
less of alcohol. Increases from
20 cents per gallon to 80 cents
per gallon on wines of higher
content and from 80 cents to As
cents a gallon on champagne
are also included.
During the committee discus
sion efforts were made to re-
store the $4,000 exemption or
the income tax. and to increase
the beer tax to the SO a barrel
level at first recommended by
the District Commissioners.
The committee approved a
proposed 2 per cent sales tax on

that Junior and senior highs have

adopted the public works reve-
nue. bill and it seemed the Dis
trict had its financing arranged
for some years to come. But last
year. he added, the whole pro-
gram was thrown "out of kilter'
when Congress ordered pay
raises for District employees. This
is costing about So million a
year.
The situation, he said, was
complicated by the fact that
Congress at the same time made
a $2-million cut in the Federal
share.
In his approach to the APP
preparations people, who have
virtually the final answer on
how much actually is appro-
priated as the Federal share,
Mr.. Smith was humble. con-
ciliatory and friendly. He said
he had no criticism to make of
the operations of the appropria-
tions committee, but he pleaded
with the funds group to be as
considerable as possible because,
he said, there are many serious
conditions in District finances,
including "a terrible situation in
the school system"
Due to Indignation
This, he said, was due largely
to indignation because it was
done suddenly without making
proper adjustm ents." He
stressed that school officials are
seeking funds for the employ
ment Of 1870 extra teachers SO
that the size of classes can be
reduced, whereas the commits
sioners found it possible, because
of financial straits, to recon-
mend only 40 more.
This may not be the end OF
the problem, Mr.. Smith said. He
reminded the appropriations
subcommittee that there could
be additional costs to the Dis
trict for pay raises.
Members of the Rabaut SUBJ
committee inquired deeply into
progress being made by District
finance officers into the over
all reassessment of all real estate
in the District. Some surprise
was voiced by Chairman Rabaut
and other subcommittee men,
bers that District officials did
not plan to put higher real estate
assessments into effect until the
end of calendar year 1853.
James L. Martin, assessor and
District finance officer, said
there was a legal question in
volved as to whether the higher
taxes that would flow from re-
assessments could be put into
effect piecemeal. This problem
has been referred to Corpora

Schedule Set for
 Presidents s Tour Of Drought States

AUGUSTA, Ga, R-President Eisenhower's inspection tour of drought stricken areas of the Midwest will take him into six states Jan. 1915, his headquarters announced Saturday.
 Eisenhower plans to make stops in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Kansas for an on the-spot survey of the worst parching of that region in many years.
 The White House announced earlier this month that the Presi- dent would make such a survey in d-January. Some of the details and the specific dates were made known here Saturday as Eisen- hover was enjoying weekend of golf in advance of the recon vening of Congress this week.
 The drought area tour schedule calls for the President to leave Washington by plane the after noon of Sunday, Jan. 13. He will fly to San Angelo, Tex, and stay overnight at Goodfellow Air Force Base there.
 The actual inspection of the drought regions will start the next day in the San Angelo area. Then he will fly on to West Wood ward, Okla, and to Clovis, NM.
 That evening he will arrive at Tucson, Ariz., and spend the night there at David -Monthan AFB.
 On Tuesday, Jan. 15, he will fly from Tucson to Pueblo, Colo, then on to Garden City, Kan.
 Late in the afternoon he will arrive in Wichita, Kan, where he is scheduled to'meet with rep resentatives of farmers, ranchers, industry, banking, government and agriculture schools from all the states hit by the drought.

Air Force Assn.
 Sees Hope for Just llO Combat Wings

WASHINGTON, R-The Air Force Assn. said Saturday the Air Force has the capability to build only up to 110 combat ready wings under current fi- nancing.
 Air Force Secretary Quarles recently acknowledged that the long established goal of 137 wings would not be achieved because of revised planning in the light of more powerful weapons.
 The present strength of the Air Force-in bomber. fighter and transport wings-is 131. It was reported earlier this week that the 137-wing goal-supposed to be attained by next summer-had been cut by three wings of heavy transports and six fighter wings under new budget plans.
 Wings vary in size from 75 fighter planes to 30 heavy bomb CTS. However, heavy bomber wings are being beefed up to 45.
 The Air Force Assn, a private organization, frequently reflects the thinking of Air Force leaders. The organizations magazine, Air Force" said the new defense budget has ca built-in descen- dence" for the 137-wing program.
 'If we are lucky, we may be able to salvage 110 effective, com bat-ready units by some time in 1960,' the magazine said.
 The magazine also declared a hoax is ''being perpetrated on the American people" in claims that US. air strength is higher than it has even been in history.
 The article asked what differ ence it would make eff we are twice as strong as we have ever been, if the Soviets are even stronger?"
