WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter said yesterday that the federal government would not open its treasury to California communities that would lose local revenues because of that state's taxpayer revolt.
James T. McIntyre Jr., director of the Office of Management and Budget, said, "Looking to Washington for a bailout isn't going to be a viable or sensible solution in this regard."
"I don't think there is any possibility of our passing specific laws just to deal with California," Carter said at a press conference. "We have no inclination to seek out California for special treatment just because they have lowered property taxes."
Carter rejects federal funds for tax revolt
Earlier McIntyre said the taxpayer revolt that started in California, but that may spread to other states probably was meant to protest federal taxes, too.
The administration itself expects a deficit of about $50 billion in fiscal 1979, which begins Oct. 1. However, McIntyre promised that the 1980 budget would be tight.
It was the Carter administration's first official assessment of Proposition 13, the California initiative used by voters June 6 to
slash taxes. The initiative limits property taxes to 1 percent of market value and is expected to cut property tax revenue by 57 percent.
However, he said that a $2 billion state budget surplus should help the state avert future economic crises.
McIntyre disclosed that the administration was considering cutbacks in aid to California because of the Proposition 13 vote. McIntyre said that he would have the federal monetary on education programs previously carried out by a state or local government.
Carter said the federal government would monitor developments in California very closely and that if a crisis developed, the government would help.
Vern Miller wants court ruling reversed
TOPEKA (UPI)—Vern Miller, Sedgewick County district attorney, asked the Kansas Court of Appeals yesterday to reverse a lower court decision denying him telephone company call records he is seeking in connection with a drug investigation.
MILLER CONTENDED that Malone was wrong to rule that the state inquisition statute, where which county and district attorneys or the attorney general may investigate criminal activity, allowed the attorney to issue subpoenas only for testimony and not for documents. They said Malone's ruling, if allowed to stand, would overturn the interpretation of the word subpoena as determined in Kansas courts.
Sturt Glibrie and Kielh Rathbin, assistant district attorneys, appeared on the floor of Miller before a three-judge panel of the Court, urging that Malone's order be dissolved.
Sedgwick County Associate District Judge Hal Malone had issued an injunction that prevented Miller from enforcing subpoenas against Southern Western Bell Telephone. Miller seeks a judge's telephone calls to the authorities in Instrument City during a three-month period.
Carter also said that the 2-1 margin by which the initiative was approved by California voters showed that taxpayers wanted more efficient government and were concerned about higher taxes. He said the action was not incompatible with his goal of holding down government spending and cutting federal taxes.
Miller's staff contended that the Malone ruling had a tremendous impact on the efficiency of law enforcement that was sufficient to eliminate the power of the attorney to investigate criminal activity and record witnesses instead of direct testimony.
Jerry Elliott, a Wichita attorney for Southwestern Bell, said the inquisition statute governed the district attorney's procedure in the matter and provided only for subpoenas for testimony. He said that in other statutes, the Legislature has specific authority to officials for subpoena documents, but not in this particular case.
"We don't want to honor subpoenas that are not valid." Ellott said.

Cutting Surface
Analyst says gasoline rating has little effect
NEW YORK (AP)—A respected oil industry analyst said yesterday that a Supreme Court ruling that allows states to bar oil companies from running gasoline stations may have little effect on prices at the gas pump.
The 7-1 ruling came as a disappointment for some oil companies.
The analyst, Dan Lundberg, publisher of the Los Angeles-based Lundberg Letter, said there might be some momentary turbulence in prices and demand from the stations, but the ruling hurt independent business more than the oil companies.
He said the big losers may be small independent stations that face the harshest competition not from oil companies but from large-volume chain outlets.
