No money down, only $30.33 per month. Famous-Barr Television all six stores. By Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON. Oct. 2 -The best way to finance revitaliza-tion of American cities is through reform of the property tax.

Representative Thomas B. Curtis Webster Groves, said today. Curtis said that it would be wrong to use federal taxes for aid to cities until the potential of the local property tax had been fully realized. He expressed his views in testimony to the subcommittee on urban affairs of the Joint Economic Committee, which is studying the goals and problems of urban America. Those who say the property tax is overburdened are citing a myth, Curtis said, asserting that a number of states could significantly increase such taxes without exceeding the national average.

"Much of the potential goes unrealized because of poor assessment procedures," he said. Taxing of Idle Land Curtis recommended a change In the practice of assessing idle land at a lower rate than improvements on land. "Idle land should be taxed at a somewhat higher rate," he said, "so that there will be an encouragement to put land to its most produotive use." In the cities, he said, major consideration in assessing property taxes should be given to the location of the land, and zoning laws and local policy should be co-ordinated with tax procedures. Curtis, who is the senior Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, told the subcommittee that any increase in federal taxes without a revaluation of the property tax, improved assessments and enforced building codes amounted to "working with vested interests." For poor sections of a metropolitan area to reap the full benefits of the property tax, certain tax equalization mechanisms are required, Curtis said, but "there is no need for the Federal Government to get into this business." 'No Really Poor States' are no really poor states in the United States," he said. "Those that are so often cited have poorly developed and unenforced property taxes, inadequately assessed land values often coupled with absentee ownership." Curtis opposed the idea of providing federal block grants to states or cities to be spent in any way that the local government considers most important.

For one thing, he said, federal Income tax rates already are too high and there are too many demands on income tax rev-eues. Second, it would be "politically unwise to separate the pleasure of spending the revenue from the political pain of collecting it," he said. SENATOR LONG ASSAILS FOOD AND DRUG AGENCY JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 2 (UPI) United States Senator Edward V. Long Missouri, charged the Food and Drug Administration yesterday with "interfering with everything from cancer research to a doctor's choice of drugs." Long said the FDA had tried "to tell reputable drug firms how to develop drugs, dictate to the doctors how to practice medicine and tell us all what we can and cannot eat.

"It is bureaucracy at its worse," he said at dedication ceremonies for a multimillion-dollar addition to a Jefferson City Hospital. Long is chairman of a Senate subcommittee investigating the conduct of the Food and Drug Administration. FR. 6RENNAN TO BE HONORED FOR 50 YEARS AS A JESUIT The Rev. Gerald P.

Brennan S.J., one of 10 children of a former St. Louis grocer, will return to St. Louis this month to observe his golden jubilee as a member of the Jesuit order. He entered the Jesuit novitiate at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant 50 years ago.

Father Brennan, a graduate of St. Louis University, has itpent the last 30 years at Marquette University in Milwaukee, where he is regent of the school of journalism. A concelebrated Mass will be held in the Gesu church in Milwaukee at 10 a.m. Saturday in honor of his 50 years as a Jesuit. LIQUOR, LOTTERY CHARGES FILED AFTER HOUSE SEARCH Jack Sanderson, 3651A Cass venue, was booked suspected ti violating state and city liquor laws and of establishing a lottery after his arrest yesterday by a policeman who reported purchasing liquor from Sanderson.

Detectives searched his house and reported finding $4227 cash, 25 bottles of whiskey and wine, policy game top sheets apd three revolvers. Sanderson made no statement ii A mm "i i 'J' did yesterday by going 4-for-4 and driving home two runs when Boston won the pennant by beating Minnesota, 5-3. Scott Over .300 With Conigliaro out of the series, Boston must rely heavily on first baseman George Scott, who batted over .300, drove in 82 runs and hit 19 homers for his best major league effort. The Boston batsmen tore through the league, and led in runs, home runs and team batting average. The Red Sox, hoisting thar first pennant flag over Fenway Park in 21 years, were buoyed all season by the pitching of 25-year-old Jim Lonborg.

The 6-foot-6 righthander ran up a 22-9 record this season. Lonborg, with a 3.24 earned run average, struck out 246 batters, tops in the American League. After Lonborg, however, the Red Sox are thin in pitching. Jose Santiago, 12 and 4, has been a reliable starter and reliever and his ERA is 3.65. John Wyatt and Gary Bell have also been effective on occasions for Boston, but neither has been consistent.

Capable Defense Defensively, the Red Sox nave a good double play combination in shortstop Rico Petro-celli and rookie second baseman Mike Andrews. Veteran Elston Howard, obtained from the New York Yankees in mid season, is a fine defensive catcher who can handle pitchers. Scott is a weak fielder at first base. Jerry Adair, shifted to third base this season, is a top-notch fielder who set major league records for second basemen in 1964 with Baltimore. The Red Sox have a solid outfield with Yastrzemski in left, Reggie Smith in center and Ken Harrelson, purchased in September after his release from Kansas City, in right field.
