stamp and substance Of that
original act. :. There can be
no doubt that this commission
government has served the COM
munity and the Nation well until
recently: but there is a serious
question about its suitability
today -.
Intrusion on Congress"
Gen. Lane said that a major
revision needed is the withdrawal
of Congress from detailed con-
sideration Of District taxes and
appropriations. He said that
Congress is occupied with ma
tional and world problems Of
such scope that today it is IAN
unnecessary and unwise intru-
sion on the Congress to ex-
Ipect it to consider seriously and
act with elaboration upon the
way in which the taxes paid by
the people Of the District Of Co.
lumbia are administered in de-
tail"
When the Federal Government
paid half the cost of District gov
eminent, he said, there was some
reason for Congress to pass in
detail on District appropriations
Today. he said, such procedure
has lost any logic which it may
have had in the beginning"
First Home Rule Step
While not taking a stand on
home rule, Gen. Lane said it is
obvious that 1.-THE first step Of
home rule would be to take these
detailed appropriation matters
out Of the hands Of Congress
and leave them for decision by
the citizens Of the District"
AS long as Congress denies
home rule to the District, he
said. 1t has an obligation &c
assure that the detailed budget
control does not become an op-
pressive act Of arbitrary power
exercised for the benfit Of the
Federal Government and agains,
the unrepresented citizens"
IF as a practical matter the
Congress is not going to restore
home rule" he continued, Il,
