Court Upho|ds
Tax Exemption
On CIV Parking

George Washington University
is not required to pay the District
real estate tax on parking spaces
it owns and rents to students
the United States Court of APP
peals ruled today in a split two
to-one opinion.
The ruling upheld a previous
decision by the District Tax
Court.
Two years ago, the appellate
court held that GNU parking
spaces used without fee by men,
bers of its staff and faculty were
tax exempt.
Buildings Exempt
Under the law, buildings OF
non profit universities and
schools are exempt from the
tax. Also exempt are grounds
belonging to and reasonably re-
quired and actually used for the
carrying on Of the activities and
purposes" Of the institution.
In the majority opinion today,
Chief Judge Henry w. Edgerton
and Judge Wilbur K. Miller cited
the 1855 ruling and stated:
q. The principle of the
previous case applies to parking
spaces owned by the university
and rented to students for a
nominal fee of 20 cents a half
day.
This is not shown TO exceed
the cost of operation. The rec
ord does not show and we do
not think it material how many
spaces the university provides. :"
Dissenting Opinion
In dissent, Judge John A.
Danaher declared that while he
would be willing to see student
parking areas tax-exempt, he
said the law does not allow it.
MY colleagues say, in effect,
that private board of trustees,
by their own vote, may acquire
and remove from the tax list
grounds which are to be devoted
to parking the automobiles of
students and the university en-
ployeS," Judge Danaher said.
He continued. They permit
the university authorities thus
to enlarge the category OF the
grounds exempted by the Con-
gress in 1912. on the theory that
such parking facilities are re-
quired and actually used FL
carrying on the activities anc
purposes of the university. AS a
matter of policy would be quite
willing TO see such grounds &C.
corded tax exemption, but l be-
lieve such exemption should be
achieved only by additional leg
islation.

He said the idea has

ullllOLl VI new APPROPRIATIONS, ana
estimated that expenditures in
the year beginning July would
total $71.8 billion. But this lat
ter figure does not include the
highway program. which is nov
treated as a separate fund. When
highway spending is included the
expenditure figure becomes $73.5.
Would Provide Cushion
A SIS billion cut would leave
q $67 billion budget and present
Congress with comfortable
cushion to be divided between
debt reduction and tax relief.
Budget receipts next year are
estimated at $736.
Senator Byrd, who heads the
Finance Committee. also an
nounced today House leaders
have agreed to go along with a
l5-month extension of existing
corporation and excise tax rates,
due to expire April l.
The House has voted for an
other l2-month extension, but
the l5-month limit probably will
be the only change made when
the Senate committee approves
the extension tomorrow.
The main purpose of making
the extension for Is months is
to have these taxes expire on
July /. 1858. when Congress
would know whether some Of
these taxes could be reduced as
the result of budget savings.
Businessmen Heard
The Senate committee heard
several spokesman for small
business today urging the Full
bright amendment TO cut small
business taxes now and offset
the losses with a higher rate on
big corporations.
Senator Byrd told reporters he
strongly favors tax relief for
small business, but thinks it I'M
wise TO raise some rates now in
order to lower others. He said
that when Congress has cut ex-
penses. "as it appears will be
done" he believes a tax cut for
small business is one of the first
things that should be done.

favor OF immediate relief for
small business we're: Democratic

Chalk Hoping
To Buy Lines
lin Baltimore

o. Roy Chalk. president of The
D. C. Transit System. said today
he was hopeful of adding the
Baltimore Transit System to the
Washington holding he acquired
last year.
Noting that the Maryland
General Assembly is considering
a plan for municipal ownership
of the Baltimore lines. Mr.. Chalh
said he hoped to buy the sys.
tenn to keep it in private opera
ton.
If they are willing to sell,
hope to get an invitation either
from the National City Lines OF
the city or both to discuss it,
Mr.. Chalk said.
National City Lines, the Ma
tons largest operator of transit
systems, owns about % per cent
of Baltimore Transit's stock.
Loan Measure Pressed
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro
Ijr.. has been critical of the COM
Ipany's operating policies and is
pushing a bill for a SIS million
loan to buy the utility. APP
proved by the Baltimore City
delegation yesterday, the bill
was to be voted on by the en-
tire House of Delegates today.
Mr.. Chalk said he had not dis
cusSed his idea with Mayor
ID'Alesandro. but had no COM
ment on whether he had APP
preached any other officials.
I If the Baltimore system is Of
tered for sale, he believed he
would be the logical purchaser.
Mr.. Chalk added. He said it
would be a good thing to have
dual operation of Washington
and Baltimore services.
rOrcSceS airport Fee0er
Mr.. Chalk visualized an inter-
urban service linking the cities
either by bus on monorail. which
also would serve as a feeder line
! for Friendship Airport.
National City Lines has been
the principal owner of Baltimore
Transit for about 10 years. After
a strike in 1852 the company
moved in number of officials
TO administer the lines. Balti-
