The Hall of the Americas
drew a rather large audience to
hear a program Of contempo-
rary American music last night.
The program was presented in
cooperation with the local
chapter Of the National AsSo-
citation for American Composers
and C Conductors, and was
largely representative of COM
positions by members.
The music set, in general. a

tan newspapers urged their
passage, although both papers
had serious reservations about
the school board. Catholic and
Lutheran church officials sup
ported the bond issues whole
heartedly. PTA groups worked
hard for them.
And, as in Parma, it was
stressed that the bond issues
would not be expensive. The
average cost to home owners:

They'll Try Again
On April 4. st. Louis will

Shortly after that. the school

put up to the voters again.

"Our transportation costs will

In all three st. Louis elec-

Morse WouIdtet
Tronsit Subsidy
Be Free of Tuxes

A bill sponsored by Senator
Morse, Democrat Of Oregon,
giving the D. c. Transit System
. subsidy based on school fares,
would exempt the payment
from Federal and District taxes.
The subsidy measure, intro
duced last week by Senator
Morse at request of the transit
firm, would require the new
Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission to compute
the amount Of subsidy the COM
pany would get each year.
The transit commission
would have to determine how
many 10-cent school fares
would have had to be paid as
full fares II the company were
to make a 6l2 per cent return
on gross operating revenue.
This difference would then
be made up by a subsidy pay
ment from the District to the
company. No subsidy would be
required If the company earned
6l2 per cent return during any
given year despite the lower
school fares. Public Utilities
Commission staff members
have estimated last years rate
Of return for the company at
about 5 per cent.
Exempting the subsidy from
taxes would mean that the full
amount awarded by the District
would aid the company. Other
wise, Federal taxes would take
So per cent Of the subsidy.
Members Of the PUG have
stated they favor some form
OF subsidy for D. c. Transit
to avoid further fare increases.
