S. Share To Avoid D. C. Tax Increase Is Asked Hampshire Heights Citizen Unit Hears ‘Washington Tea Party’ Advocated Deploring the present “muddled” state of taxation in the District, the Hampshire Heights Citizens’ Asso- clation last night opposed any con- gressional plan to increase local taxes and urged that legislation be drafted to increase the Federal share n District expenditures. Don R. Lamborne, chairman of fhe Taxation Committee, who offered ‘he move, declared that Congress has again “thrown to the winds one of the ‘very fundamentals of the “onstitution by withholding a fair Federal share, adding to the tax- oayers' burden and at the same time disregarding the right of suf- frage.” S “I am in favor of a ‘Washington Tea Party’ staged for the same reason that prompted the Colonial Boston protest,” Mr. Lamborne de- slared, “unless the privilege of ad- ministering our own government is soon granted.” Favor Elective Council. The association reiterated its stand favoring an elective council 5f 11 in a reorganization plan em- oracing legislative, judicial and | >xecutive sections in local govern- ment. Under this plan, five council- men would be chosen directly by vote, five would be appointed by the | President and one named by the President with approval by the citizens. A linked resolution au- thorized the association's delegates o urge the federation to devise a STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, WEDA plan of suffrage to be put to a test vote among local residents. The group indorsed a bill to pro- vide District police and firemen optional retirement after 25 years of service.
