District Heads
Say Fund Lack
PeriIs Projects
Strong New PIeo
For More Money
Made to Congress
BY JAMES G. DEANE
star stan Writer

A strong new plea to help
head OF q growing District
financial crisis was made to
Congress today by the Commits
sionerS.
In q massive state Of the
Nations Capital" report, the
three city heads told the Sem
ate and House District COM
mittees that without more Fed
eral help. the District win be
unable to follow through on
planned highway and other
construction. needed improve
ments In municipal services
and other vital plans.
Congress was urged to adopt
Q policy. first proposed Q year
ago. which would pump more
Federal funds into the run
ming Of the city.
The special report, pointing
to . steadily worsening finan-
cial situation expected over the
next six years. was submitted
ct Q joint session Of the two
District Committees, headed by
Senator Bible Of Nevada and
Representative Mcmillan Of
South Carolina.
Somber Pictures
The two committees were
given q similar report q year
ago. It resulted In authoriza-
tion Of new public works pro.
gram. q grant Of broader bor-
rowing power and an author
lied increase in the annual
lump-sum Federal payment
from s23 million to $40 million.
Congress. for the present rs
cal year. so far has appropri.
ated q payment Of only $40
million, however.
The Commissioners presen-
tation won an apparently
friendly reception from COM
mittee members. But it also
brought immediate questions
about the city's taxes and about
what the District would do If
Congress failed to grant ali the
help requested.
Representative Smith. Demo-
crat Of Virginia. warned
bluntly:
In the last so years. Con- |
gress has never given to the |
District all Of the money that |
many Of US think Is JUSTIFIED.
I don't think they'll do it this
year."
Fiscal Quandry Seen
The influential Virginia Con-
gresham questioned even
whether Congress would grant
q 50 million Federal payment
increase being sought to help
meet pay raises. Lack OF this
supplem e ntal grant would
throw the. city into q fiscal
quandry, the legislators were
told, because 1t would create
the prospect of a deficit.
The District is legally bound
to increase realty and business
personal property taxes to head
on any such contingency. but
officials also said tax rates for
the present fiscal year cannot
now be changed.
Senator Bible praised the
report and said afterwards
that he fully supports the 50
million additional Federal pay
ment now. He indicated sym.
pathy for the requested addi-
tional help for the future.
Several other legislators also
praised the presentation.
But Representative Aber-
nethy. Democrat Of Mississippi,
complained strongly about re-
cent realty tax increases.
Mclaughlin Answers
Mr.. Mclaughlin explained
that the purpose Of the in
crease. which win realize q 81.
million gain for the city this
year, was to equalize rather
than increase the realty burden.
A somber picture Of the Dis.
trict's finances was painted by
the new report. Last year,
officials estimated that the
Capital would not reach a red

MEAT COOKING

There's an old superstition that
soaring meat holds the juices in
and many of us have been taken
in by it. 1t isn't true, however, and
here's why:
When you scar meat, you ex-
pose 1t to very high temperatures
for a few minutes. This high heat
makes the fat smoke-the fat on
the meat or the fat in the pan.
When you brown meat, you use
a medium-high heat and a longer
time. The heat is not SO high that
the fat smokes.
Browning has something in its
favor-searing does not.
Browning develops a distinctly
good flavor. We brown pot roasts
and stew meat for that reason.
The meat dries out somewhat on
the surface, but the improved flaw
or makes up for that.
But, scar meat and you dry it
out and play havoc with its flavor.
Know how a turtle draws in when
touched? Well a meat fiber shrinks
in like that when touched by high
heat. And, shrinking squeezes out
juice. So you see, far from holding
meat juices in, soaring pushes
them out. In addition, Shrunken
meat fibers are tough.
That flavor change in scared
meat comes from the fat smoke
settling on the meat. If you think
that tastes good, hold a plate over
some smoking fat-then taste the
film deposited on the plate. This
test is good for a quick change of
mindl
How then to pantry steaks and
chops? Use a medium temperture.
Let the meat brown slowly as it
cooks and the result will be tender
good-flavored meat.
SIT TO WORK
How often do we hear the COM
plant, "I've been on my feet all
day and I'm just dead"
II that's your reason for being
tired, take a tip from heart pat

GUIDE FOR TAXPAYERS AVAILABLE

The Bureau of Internal Revenue las published a booklet
which costs ~thirty-five cents and which is designed to help
taxpayers, fill out their form. In addition, the Bureau has
rescinded an earlier order advising agents not to fill out forms
for taxpayers, except those who are iliterate, seriously han
dicapped, or who cannot read or write English.
These moves by the Bureau of Internal Revenue indicate
the prevailing attitude of providing all the help it can for
citizens. That is certainly a necessary attitude in the Bureau,
since taxpayers have enough to worry them, in the form of
income taxes
The ~tax-paying guide, which can be ordered from the
nearest field office of the Department of Commerce or from
the Department itself in Washington, Z. c, is issued each year
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue and is designed to assist
American taxpayers in filling out their own returns.
The Bureau urges all those who can to fill in their
returns, although agents will be available this year, as in the
past, to help frustrated, confused and otherwise dscomboober-
ated citizens, which will include a large segment of the
population.
