For two straight years, Dis
trict revenue bills have fallen
flat in Congress. They have
failed despite the request Of
city officials and citizen groups
for permission to tax them
selves.
Next month. the taffy pull
resumes. No one predicts the
outcome.
Technically, a revenue bill
is still in conference. Senator
Bible, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, has said
it is of paramount impor-
tance" that House and Senate
conferees get together again
at the earliest "opportune time"
after Congress comes back to
work January 10.
IN my judgment" said the
Senator "the Congress must
face up to the hard facts that
increasing governmental prob
lens of a changing city, require
more local tax revenues. :"
Once conferees get together,
they will sit down in a slightly
different atmosphere from that
of last September.
Election Considerations
Both Representative McMil-
Ian, Democrat of South Caro-
lima, and Senator Morse, Demo-
crat Of Oregon, are up for re-
election. Agreement on a reve-
nue. proposal is largely depend
ent on the actions of either
man, although Senator Morse
is not a conferee.
BY next year, conferees will
feel more local pressure. The
failure to get a bill through
in the last session forced the
District Commissioners to cut
back the public works program
by some Sc million, mostly in
school construction.
In the background. is the
prospect of a pay raise for
Federal workers. If such a
raise is voted. District offic-
ials say the passage of the
revenue bill will be a necessity
Passed Senate Twice
Before Congress quit, the
two protagonists-Mr. McMil-
Ian and Mr.. Morse-had shown
some willingness to give a lit
tie in the revenue drama.
Mr.. Morse finally accepted
an increase in the sales tax
from 2 to 8 per cent-and
Mr.. Mcmillan, successful at one
point in knocking out the bills
tax increases on cigarettes and
alcohol, went along with a pet
scheme of the Oregonian. This
was to designate the District
OF Columbia as eligible for
Federal funds to public schools
impacted with the children OF
Federal workers.
The bill, which carried the
means to raise $13 million in
additional revenues, passed the
Senate twice between Septem-
ber 20 and September %. In
the same period, the House re-
jected the bill as many times

tract to supply US with water.
This breach by VICORP de-
prived us of opportunity for the
chemicals business which was
part of the reason why we bought
the distillery. In addition it re-
quired us to shift to a salt water
fermentation process. This meant
we had to buy brand-new and diff
ferent equipment. We could not
use the equipment we had already
bought and installed, equipment
that cost us $150,000 and is still
standing idle in our d~istillery.
VICoRP Rise LONG TERM
AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASES
OF MOLASSES
In 1949 Congress required the
Government to discontinue it's
operation of the St. Croix distil-
lery where it had for Is years pro
duced Government House Rum"
The price realizable by VICORP
for its molasses fell to % cents
per gallon. This ~by-product OF
sugar cane was a glut on the mar
ket; the supplies far exceeded the
needs of the farmers of the Skeoch
distillery producing "Cruzan"
rum.
VICORP was interested in lift
ing up the market for its molasses
and sought to sell the molasses to
our family. We had no way to use
the molasses except by processing
through the distillery.
Starting in late 1949, the A. H.
Rise Distillers Corporation leased
the distillery from VICORP on
short term leases which provided
for purchasing VICORP's current
mo1asses crop.sB Between f949 and
1859, we bought molasses at prices
between 5 and 10 cents per gallon.
At this time the distillery con-
sisted basically of the original
equipment, which had been sub
ject to very active use during the
wal years. The Paiewonsky inter
ests made a crude rum at st.
Croix and refined it in their dis
tillery in St. Thomas.
By deed dated December 4, 1854,
and delivered in March 1855,
VICORP sold the distillery to
Rise Distillers for $1,000, as it.
This was the fair market value of
the deprecated facilities as deter
mined by a unanimous arbitration
board. A simultaneous agreement
also dated December 4, 1854, and
approved March 10, 1855, provid-
ed for the sale of molasses and
10000 gallons Of water. Paragraph
/ provides:
1. VICORP agrees to sell and
RISE agrees to buy seventy per-
cent C70%) of the total amount of
molasses produced annually as the
result of VICORP's sugar mill

Faced with the fact that

the head Of the parade COM
mittee suggests that a funda-

F. Joseph Donohue said yes
terday in an impromptu press
conference that he would def

He added that he would sup

Presently. the Twentieth

present conditions, this has
ment that it is virtually i'm

you can amend the Constitution

Further Cuts Opposed

terday's parade had been cut

II don't see how we can cut
the parade any," Mr.. Donohue
said. It is necessary for each
State to have at least four units
represented. he believes.
As it turned out. yesterdays

length and finished at 6:12
