President Kennedy is expect
ed to send to Congress this
week legislation proposing an
unprecedented Federal and
State investment of around $4
billion in outdoor recreation

The proposal includes a par

Finance Crisis

Tax Increase Bill
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy today sent
Congress a request to increase
Federal payments and loans to
the District to meet "the cur
rent crisis" in municipal fl
nanceS.
District Commissioners will
join in the administration ef-
fort to raise funds primarily for
construction with a tax increase
proposal within days, the Presi-
dentindicated. The tax bill, to
be submitted from the District
Building, would yield about Sc
million in the year beginning
July l and SO million in sue
ceeding years.
The White House asked for
two formulas to fix perma-
nently the amount of a Federal
payment and loan to be ap-
propriated annually by Con-
gress.
S22 Million Increase
The payment formula re-
fleets what the Government
would give the city if the Gov
ernment were taxpayer. This
would increase the current
actual payment of $50 million
to $50 million Immediately
By 1869 the payment could be
$67 million annually.
The loan formula authorizes
borrowing for the city's general
fund up to 6 per cent Of the
assessed value of real and per-
sonal property, both private
and public, in the District.
The most Congress has ap-
proved in loans in the past for
general spending is SIS million.
The Presidents idea would
put the limit at $225 million
in 1864 and $275 million in
1869.
If Congress agrees, the Dis
trict would have the same ad-
vantage through Federal loans
as most other cities have in
issuing bonds. The White
House theory is that all United
States citizens support the
Capital by loans, Just as local
citizens support other cities by
buying bonds.
Text Of Letter
The text of President Ken
nedy's letter follows:
I transmit herewith a pro-
posed bill to provide for in
creased Federal Government
participation in meeting the
cost of maintaining the Ma
tion's Capital City and to au-
thorize Federal. loans to the
District of Columbia for capi-
tai improvement programs.

to implement the third ele-
