Using Red Slam
On Democrats

DETROIT. Sept. l (AP).-
George Romney. Republican
candidate for Michigan Gov.
Eernor, today told the National
Fair Campaign Practices Com
mittee he has never charged
Communist infiltration of the
Democratic Party.
Mr., Romney answered by
telegram an inquiry from
Charles T. Taft, committee Sec
retary, asking Mr.. Ronlney to
clarity a statement to that eff
feet attributed to him.
Michigan Democratic State
Chairman John j. Collins COM
planned to the committee, quot
ing Mr.. Romney as saying
communism historically has
been a problem in the Demo-
cratic Party. t<
Mr.. Taft wired:
This seems to imply that
the Democratic Party is con-
trolled to some extent by Com
munists who have worke d
themselves into positions OF
Importance. Is this quotation
correct and does it represent
your belief? We invite your
early comment"
Mr.. Romney referred the
committee to a statement ht
issued earlier today. In add.
/ ton to the flat denial of max
ing the charge. the statement
said:
II do not believe that thu
Democratic Party would know,
ingly harbor a Communist.
II sincerely believe that thu
real leaders and responsible
members of the Democratic
Party are just as concerned
about extremist infiltration ir
their party as are Republicans
in their party"

District Value
OF Real Estate
Up $87 Million

Higher real estate assess.
ments in the District will bring
in about $2.2 million more in
taxes during the next fiscal
year, according to a report
issued today by city officials.
Finance officer Kenneth Back
told the Commissioners that the
total real estate assessment will
go up to about $2.4 billion for
the fiscal period beginning July
1. This is an increase Of about
$87.7 million over the assess
ment figure for the current
fiscal year.
With the city's real estate tax
at $3.50 per 500 Of assessed
valuation. the real estate tax
yield viii go up about $2.2 mil
lion, Mr.. Back said.
The total assessment for
property not on the tax rolls
also will go up. Mr.. Black said.
The estimated increase in this
category - property owned by
the Federal or District govern
ment or specifically exempted
from taxation by Congress =
viii be about $40 million.
The increase In assessments
for taxable property is in line
with earlier estimates. Mr.. Back
said, and therefore is reflected
in the revenue figures included

Mental Care
Changes
Proposed

A Senate District subcommit-
tee is considering legislation TO-
day that would improve the
care given to mentally retarded
persons In a District-operated
institution at Laurel, Md.
Welfare Director Gerard Shea
told members yesterday that
the bill would be q first step
toward enlargement Of the CEN
ter which still has the stern
title Of the District Training
School" under current law.
Patients would be able to go
to the 1,260-bed center volun-
tarily under the bill drafted
after q citizens study. Now,
patients are committed by the
courts.
The court admission proce-
dure Is an emotional strain on
parents of some badly handi-
capped children, assistant Cor
poration Counsel C. Belden
White said. Some would rather
keep their children at home
than subject their families to
the time consuming task Of
gaining a court order and the
stigma that comes from COM
pulsion, he added.
Mr.. Shea said some so per-
sons were waiting for admis-
sion. With annual admissions
increasing by about 100. he ex-
pected that 400 bed would have
to be added within the next
10 years.
The name Of the center also
would be formally changed Ly
the legislation TO Forest Haven.
Such words as feeble minded"
and minated" would be lifted
from the law.
One witness, Mrs. Charles
Clegg, 1912 Twenty seventh
street NV, urged. an amend
ment to allow center patients
to be sterilized.
