Part of the increase over and
above the estimated rise is the
result of more prompt property
tax payments this year, Of
f1cials said.
The revenues from taxes in
the general fund. the principal
bookkeeping category. totaled
nearly S118.3 million for the
nine-month period ending
March 81. The amount for
the first nine months of the
1859 fiscal year was about
$108.6 million.
The total general fund rev.
enue was up about $l6.2 mil
lion. But the current figures in
clude the full $25 million an
nual Federal payment, while
only $40 million of the $25 mil
lion had been received at the
end of March year ago.
Revenues from all funds dur
ing the current nine month
period amounted to nearly
$176.3 million. up $16.2 mil
lion over the first nine months
a year ago. Here, again, the
timing on the Federal payment

DC. Appropriation Bill
Is Signed by President

President Eisenhower today
signed the District appropria-
tions bill which provides city
funds for the fiscal year start
ing July /.
The bill provides total appro-
priationS out of District funds
of $239,470,433 - about $2.9
million less than the $242.403,- :
900 asked in the Presidents
budget.
The bill also provides SAT-
$4,000 for the District to be
paid out of the Treasury in
Federal payments and loans.
This figure is S5.6 million less
than the S53,233,000 originally
requested by the President.
Meanwhile, District revenue
officials reported rise of $9.7
million in the Districts general
fund taxes during the current
fiscal period over the compara-
BILE nine months a year ago.
In formulating the Districts S
money bill, the House commit
tee decided to give the smaller
appropriation because the Dis
trict's general fund revenues
are expected to run about S5.1
million more than was estimated
when the budget was first for
mulated.
The increase reported by tax
officials yesterday is generally
in line with last February's
revenue estimate revisions, ac-
cording to District spokesman.
The finance Office had esti-
mated then that the general
fund taxes would bring in
nearly S9.4 million more dur
ing fiscal 1860 than during the
previous year. The increase so
far totals nearly $9.7 million.

year. A leader of one voiced
defiance.

Mr.. Sobukwe voiced to a re-

He was interviewed in a Johan-

against the South African law

House Unit Hears
Solid Booking for

BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Stan Writer

House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Celler. Democrat of
New York. said today he would
try for action "as quickly as
possible" on a proposal to let
Washington citizens vote in
national elections.
He heads a subcommittee
which ended two-day hearings
yesterday. Some 40 congress
sional and community witnesses
unanimously urged passage.
The hearing record will be
kept open until next Thursday.
After that, Mr.. Celler wants
all subcommitteemen to have a
chance to study the record. 1t
is an undisputed testimonial to
the city-wide support for suf-
frage, in principle. But the
record is filled with suggestions
for expanding the simple reso-
luton before the Celler unit.
Amends Constitution
AS written by Mr.. Celler, the
resolution would amend the
Constitution to permit voteless
Washingtonians to cast ballots
for President, Vice President
and delegates to the House of
Representatives.
He indicated the delegate"
would not be figured in the
435-member limit on the size
of the House, unless such a
delegate were granted voting
rights by Congress in a sub
.sequent law.
AS for the possibility of the
District delegate voting, Mr..
Celler said. We'll cross that
bridge when we come to it,"

repeatedly asked witnesses if
the principle of voting not only
by District citizens but by
Americans in all other terri
tories and possessions was not
the major question at issue
in this kind of amendment.
No witness disagreed. But
many, including Senate and
House suffrage champions, pre-
dicted that an attempt to ex-
pand the pending resolution
would destroy it.

civil rights battle in sight, op-
ponents made one last gesture
today with a motion to send
the bill back to the judiciary
Committee.
The motion, made by Senator
Eastland, Democrat of Missis-
sippi. is doomed to fail, but
enabled the Southerners to
show they had made one more
effort to prevent passage.
Although the door has been
closed to any further amend
ments to the moderate five
point measure, the vote on
passage could be delayed be-
yond this evening by a last
minute wave of oratory.
One reliable source suggested
that if the bill is not passed
by sundown the vote might be
put off until Monday. Leaders
have said, however, they would
try to persuade Senators to
agree to a Saturday session.
Big Majority Predicted
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson predicted passage. by a
substantial majority.
The heart of the bill is the
plan for appointment by Fed
eral judges of referees to pre-
vent discrimination in voting
whenever the Department Of
Justice can show that a pattern
OF discrimination exists in an
area.
The House, which passed its
bill on March "a, is expected to
accept Senate changes without
sending the bill to a Joint con-
ference committee. This would
complete congressional action.
Republican leaders have
quoted President Eisenhower as
being satisfied with the bill,
even though it omits two major
parts Of his seven-point pro-
gram.
TWn SectionS TnSf
The omitted sections would
have extended Federal aid to
communities trying to comply
with the Supreme Court school
desegregation decision, and
would have given permanent
status to the commission seek
ing to prevent job discrimina-
tion under Government con-
tracts, which now functions
under Vice President Nixon
through an executive order.
The last obstacle was re-
moved late yesterday when the
Senate voted 1912 for one
more concession to the South.
The amendment was de-
signed to meet a Southern
complaint that the voting
referee plan gave Negroes an
advantage over white citizens
in acquiring the right to vote
at the last minute, after the
court has found a pattern of
discrimination existed.
Compromise Accepted
The section in dispute stated
that in the case of any appli-
cation for voting registration
filed with a referee 20 or more
days before an election, but not
decided in time for the election,
the court shall issue an order
authorizing a provisional vote.
These votes would be impounded
until the court decided after
the election whether the pro-
