a Senate committee room
today after completing his
testimony.
Mr.. Kelly said he was hit
in the eye. but was not

he added.
He said he went up to
Mr.. Walker to ask him if
he wanted to disavow a

apartment use classification
had not been reassessed to re-
fleet their higher values.
William E. Hutchinson, su-
pervisor Of assessments, pointed
to a stack of rezonings and said
his office hasn't been able ito
get to them" yet. Some Of the
rezonings dated back to 1859.
Mr.. Hutchinson said that
this does not mean all the
properties represented by the
stack have not been reassesSed
He said some of them have
been reassessed through gen.
eral reappraisal of certain areas
or because improvements may
have been made to the proper
ties since the rezoning paper
was put in the stack.
Personnel Shortage
A shortage of personnel was
blamed by Mr.. Hutchinson for
delay in reassessing properties.
He said If all property in the
county could be brought up
within the next year to the as
sessment level recommended by
the State, it would mean an in
crease in the assessable tax
base Of around 5000 million.
This would mean an increase
of about IS million in taxes to
the county treasury, he said.
In the county budget adopted
for the current fiscal year, tax
revenue accounted for 1894
million. That was figured on
an assessable base of $877 mil
lion.
The County Commissioners
now are considering a record
$60.4 million budget for the
next fiscal year, starting July /.
AS proposed, the budget would
require about 1854 million from
county funds, requiring a %
cent tax increase.
Mr.. Hutchinson said he as
signed two men Tuesday to
work on the rezonings and to
begin a general reassessment of
properties zoned for CONNER
cial and apartment use. This
was after newsmen had asked
about the assessment program.
Reassessment Drags
Under pressure from the
State Department of Taxation,
the county has stepped up its
reaSsessment program. The de-
partment has found that some
sections of the county had not
been reassessed for several
years, while land values in the
suburban county have sky
rocketed.
Mr.. Hutchinson appealed to
the County Commissioners for

proposition that ahy significant

the tax base in 1861, a record
increase for one year, Mr..
Hutchinson said.
The State is pressing all

WaShington's most powerful
organization of businessmen
opposed District home rule at
a Senate hearing today.
The Metropolitan Washing
ton Board of Trade, with 1000
members. was pitted against
the overwhelming majority of
witnesses at the second day of
hearings before the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Of the % citizens testifying
this morning, five opposed
home rule and 20 supported
home rule bills sponsored either
by President Kennedy or by
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
Oregon.
These measures called for ar
elected mayor and city council
and a non-voting delegate tc
the House of Representatives
Earlier. both Democratic and
Republican Senators and Rep
resentatives pledged an extra
effort to clear some home rule
bill this session.
Action is unlikely. however
Backs Self Government
Many opposition forces share
the view articulated today by
John w. Thompson, jr., presi-
dent of the Board of Trade.
Mr.. Thompson insisted that
the board favored self-govern-
ment.
But what self-government
means is that the people who
are to obey the laws shall have
a share in the making of the
laws. You, the Congress, make
the law" Mr.. Thompson said.
Mr.. Thompson said the board
wanted the District to be rep
resented in Congress. District
Senators and Representatives
could be elected only through
a constitutional amendment,
not before the District Com
mittee.
The major spokesman for
the bloc of community senti-
ment for home rule this morn
ing was George c. Pendleton,
chairman of the Washington
Home Rule Committee.
Denies Cut in Tie
Taking issue with Mr..
Thompson, Mr.. Pendleton de-
MED home rule would sever
the District from Federal con-
troll. He said Congress would
retain legislative power over
the city under the current
home rule bill, which might
better be described as "reor-
ganization" measures.
The real Federal interest
would be served by legiSlating
democracy in the city, he
added. He regretted, and
called invalid. arguments that
"a substantial amount of OPP
position to home rule stems
from racial prejudice"
The Home Rule Committee,
organized to fight for munic-
ipal elections, was with the
Board of Trade, however, in
its "wholehearted Endorsement"
of the Federal payment for
mula in the Kennedy bill.
This formula basing a Fed
eral payment on taxes lost
because of Federal employment
and property ownership should
be enacted into separate law,
Mr.. Thompson said. Mr.. Pen
dleton wanted the payment
kept in the home rule bill if
possible, but voted separately
if need be.
The Board of Trade president
said his members had recon-
puted formula figures to find

One or more defendants &C

up in District Court today to
answer the charges of an at

gas interests.
On petition Of the lawyer,
Malcolm T. DUNCAN of San
Francisco, Judge George L.
Hart, jr., yesterday issued a
restrainin gorder against the
use of the electronic device,
and ordered five persons
named as defendants to give
dispositions today.
But Attorney Paul r. Con-
molly, jr., representing Mr..

for dispositions at 10 am.
today as Judge Hart had or
dered them. The meeting had
been scheduled for the offices
of Mr.. Connolly's firm, Hogan I
an Harrison, in the Colorado
Building.
Conversations Heard
Mr.. DUNCAN revealed that |
for several days someone had
been tapping his conversations
with clients dealing with his
efforts to sell the Federal Power
Commission on a California
natural gas pipeline project.
His civil complaint before
Judge Hart named five de-
PENDANTS. One was John j.
Frank, identified as a Virginia
resident engaged in the bust
ness of providing clients with
private investigations and re-
lated services"
Another was identified simply
as D. P. Baxter of New York.
Three others were listed as
John Doe, Richard Roe and
John Smith-their true names
not known.
Receiver Discovered
Last night Deputy Marshal
Donald H. Mccain said he de-
livered a copy Of the complaint
to Oliver w. Angelone when
he answered a knock on the
door Of room 639-where Mr..
DUNCAN said the receiving half
of the listening device was
found.
An attractive blond who
emerged from the room also
was technically served with
the paper when a marshal
managed to touch her with it
before she STROBE off. She was
listed only as Jane Doe.
The name Of Mr.. Angelone
did not appear as such on the
court complaint. He was iden-
Titled as a licensed private
detective, sharing offices at
1880 Jefferson place NV. with
Mr.. Frank.
Authorities believe Mr.. Frank
is the same man who was fined
$500 in 1859 on a charge of
failing to register as an agent
for the Dominican Republic
and that country's late die /
tator. Generalissifno Rafael
Trujillo.
