conversation with the two stock
brokers:
The two Chileans came to Mr.
Elsbernd to ask about the
United States aid program to
Chile and the date of arrival
Of funds voted by Congress.
Mr.. Elsbernd said the funds
would be provided after Chile
presented complete plans for
reconstruction and development
and Statements of account" for
such items. Chile could in no
case use the funds to ease bal
ance-of-payments problems.
Disaster Funds Involved
Mr.. Elsbernd repeatedly told
the two brokers that SGT mil
lion of the 500 million loaned
to Chile after its big earth
quake have been handed over
and that the balance would be
withheld until Chile presented
an accounting of reconstruc
ton expenses.
The American diplomat was
said to have been pesSimiStic
about future American invest
ments in Chile. especially in
copper, because of the lack
of guarantees against expropri-
alton and tax demands on
foreign firms, which, he re-
portedly said, were 1.-The highest
in the world"
The Communist radio said
Mr.. Elsbernd had characterized
as deficient" Chile's planned
agrarian and tax reforms, thus
making United States aid more
difficult"
Mr.. Elsbernd is said to have
complained that responsibility

ress, the President said the
basic objective must be to as
sure fast, safe and economical
transportation services.
He said Federal policy must
be more co-ordinated to assure
equality of opportunity for all
forms of transportation and
undue preference to none"
Urges Tax Inequities End
He also urged action to end
tax inequities in the field, re-
peating recommendations he
had made in his budget mes
sage for repeating the 10 per
cent passenger transportation
tax, levying a 5 per cent tax on
airline tickets, and applying a
3-cents-per-gallon fuel tax to
general aviation such as rec
reational flying and company
planes"
The principle of user charges
to bear part of the cost of
Federal navigation and other
setvices should be extended to
the inland waterways, he said
in urging a Transportation
tax on all fuels used in trans
portation on the waterways.
Sees Area Agency Unqualified
A spokesman for the National
Capital Transportation Agency
now planning a mass transit
system for the Washington
region, said the Meta, being a
Federal agency, probably would
not qualify for grants under
the proposed new $500 million
program.
=. The agency was specially
created by Congress to develop
an area-wide transit program
and its report on the financ-
ing of a mass transportation
system will be submitted to the
President and Congress by the
end of this year.
Mr.. Kennedy also urged an
emergency program of grants
on a $3.50 basis where there
is urgent need for Federal aid
to keep an existing mass trans
portation facility going, or to
help where a long-range pro-
gram for a co-ordinating sys-
tenn is being actively prepared.

it would yield the District $40
million annually. District off,
cials had estimated the total at
$40 million.
I'VE enthusiastically support
the adoption of this Federal
payment formula but we do
not believe it should be part
Of a home rule BILL" Mr..
Thompson said. He cited his
tory to show that Congress
repeatedly has failed to appro-
pirate a Federal payment as
large as was authorized. Also,
no Congress can bind future
Congresses on a payment, he
noted.
The point am endeavor-
ing to make is this: Experience
supports the conclusion that
the Congress very likely will
not make appropriations ar
rived at through the use of
this formula" Mr.. Thompson
testified. I'm our Judgment, the
enactment of home rule will
make the chances of their OBJ
serving it even more remote. :"
He quoted Democratic Rep
reSentative Rhodes of Arizona,
in q 1860 speech on the House
floor. warning that Federal
payments probably would be
lost under home rule.
Expects Annual Fee
Senator Bible, chairman of
the Senate committee, noted
that the Kennedy formula
would eliminate the necessity
of congressional appropriations
after the initial enactment of
the formula into law. The Sec
rotary of Treasury simply
would issue the payment to
the District government each
year.
I'VE must anticipate and
meet the opposition of some
who do not like this system of
funding-it is clearly what has
been termed back-door .financ-
ing" Senator Bible said.
He said he made the point |
so that Mr.. Thompson would |
be aware that Congress would
not be called upon to appro-
pirate authorized" Federal
payments. even under a locally |
elected government.
Mr.. ompSon thanked
Chairman Bible for this
Interpretation of the Federal
formula, as opposed to
the traditional appropriation"
method. The board could !
promise support of the formula, !
Mr.. Thompson said.
Shipley Asks Changes
Chairman Carl Shipley of
the Republican State commit
tee assured the committee that
District Republicans were for
home rule, but he suggested 10
changes in the Kennedy bill.
A major one was to retain
Hatch Act coverage for Fed /
eral employees in local political
activity. The Kennedy bill
stipulates that Federal workers
may participate in local politics,
thus making the Hatch Act in
applicable. The real effect of
the Kennedy idea would be to
remove protection Federal en-
ployes now have against dicta-
ton from their superiors as to
how they should vote and cam
paign, Mr.. Shipley argued.
The Republican chairman
said a council Of "a would be
more efficient than one of
seven.
Members should be elected by
the wards in which they live.
At large elections urged by Mr.. |,
Kennedy would favor the rich,
popular and powerful and dis
criminate against minorities
who live in distinct sections of
the District, according to Mr..
Shipley.
He indicated the minorities
most affected would be Jews,
Catholics and Republicans.

Where personalities are concern
