In Bind To Find Enough Tax Revenues - To those who feel money flows but one way out of Washington, D.C., it may be surprising to learn that millions of dollars in taxes (all kinds) are collected in the nation's capital, says Tax Foundation. It may also be news to most that some Congressmen dont believe the District tries hard enough to get more tax monies in; that the sums the Federal government has to contribute in lieu of taxes have been mounting fast Sixteen years ago, according to one legislator, Uncle Sams contribution was about $20 million. For fiscal 1972 it is likely to be nearer $170 million. And thats not all. There is also an estimated $337 million in grants contributed by the Federal government (for F.Y. 1972), and another $147 million in what is called "other Federal assistance." The grand total has grown from $484 million in 1970 to 1972s estimated $654 milium. New revenue sources were incorporated in a bill signed by the President, last year, giving the g District these measures: A two-stehike in corporate and unincorporated business taxes (they brought in an estimated $18.1 and $2.5 million, respectively in F.Y. 1971); a property tax on business inventories; an increase in the inheritance tax (it brought in an estimated $6.8 million in the same motor vehicle year); and a fuel tax hike (the levy brought in an estimated $16.9 million in 1971).

The Justice department announced that the antitrust suit was filed in UJS. District Court in Los Angeles, April 14. The major networks ABC, CBS and NBC, as well as a former CBS subsidiary, Viacom were accused of using "their control of access to air time to monopolize prime time - television entertainment programming and to obtain valuable interests in such programming." The suits charged that the viewing public, independent program sup-pliers and advert isiers had been "deprived of the benefits of free television in competition programming. The aim of the action is to force the networks to contract with motion picture companies and other independent outlets to produce their entertainment shows. ABC and CBS said in advance they would vigorously fight the suit. News; public affairs and sport shows would not be affected. CBS and ABC said they produced only a small portion of their own entertainment programs anyway, with half of all prime time programs being produced by seven motion picture companies. - Mr. PONTIAC, MICH.

Court said the The Circuit Supreme Court ruling handed down in favor of Leary, the LSD advocate, is retroactive. In the Leary case, the Supreme Court struck down a law against smuggling, receiving, concealing, buying or selling marijuana because the law held possession of the drug was proof the possessor knew it had been smuggled into the country. The Supreme Court said such a presumption ignored certain obvious facts, such as that a lot of marijuana is grown in America. Congress passed a new drug law in 1970 to replace the one stricken down, but persons convicted under the 1970 law would not benefit from the April 12 Circuit Court decision. A Circuit Court source said the ruling could make "several hundred" persons eligible for new trials, and that many of those would likely be freed. He said "several thousahd more, who had already served time, could file appeals to have the convictions erased from their records. Chief Judge John R. Brown, in writing the ruling, said persons convicted before the Leary case were victims of a procedure that must be abandoned and retroactively uprooted. He said persons "are not to be convicted by procedures which present a serious risk that the issue of guilt or innocence may not have been reliably determined, or which produce a dear danger of convicting 'he innocent.

He sought to show that they need the rules and regulations and proceedings to be in Spanish as well as English. What he said was, "I am going to take this opportunity to ask that the results and regulations that I hope come out of these investigations be written and reported in Spanish as well as English." The people helped, he said, are often of low income, "Que sufren por razon de estos altos precios or, "Who suffer because of these high prices." P ' |
