clearance official today told the
National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards that big opportunities
exist for private enterprise in the
$1,000, 100000 redevelopment pro-
gram now almost ready to get
under way.
Nathaniel S. Keith, director OF
slum clearance and urban re-
development for the Housing and
Home Finance Agency, told a ses-
sion of Real Estate Board presi-
dents that private real estate in
terests "can accomplish the bulk
of development and redevelop-
ment stemming from this pro-
gram" d
Speaking in the Hotel Statler,
Mr.. Keith pointed out that before
municipal redevelopment agencies
can go ahead on clearance prof.
ects, local governing bodies must
make finding that the local re-
development plans provide maxi
mum opportunity to private enter
prise"
Would Acquire Slum Land.
Private enterprise, if~it accepts
this challenge and this opportun-
ity. can well accomplish the bulk
Of development and redevelop-
ment," Mr.. Keith said
"The writing off of costs will
make available, for private enter
prise use. desirable close-in land
at prices that will be generally
competitive with those Of out
lying areas" he said.
Under the program. COMMUNE
ties would acquire slum land. clear
it. write of part of the cost and
offer it for sale.
Earlier. Richard j. Seltzer, of
Philadelphia, president of the
Urban Land Institute, said:
-"The Federal program of urban
redevelopment approved by Con-
gress last year will undoubtedly
provide considerable stimulus on
slum clearance projects However,
it covers only a portion of the
problems which broad-scale urban
redevelopment must tackle If sus-
tanned progress is to be made.

There is a large field of pri-

velopers and investors without

Federation 10 Study
Higher Fare Request
By Capital Transit

ne FeQeTaClOn OF ClClZenS AS
sociations will have it's Public Util-
tiles Committee look into the re-
quest of Capital Transit Co. for
fare increases here, Federation
President Herbert P. Leeman said
today.
Mr.. Leeman said he was with
holding comment on the COM
pany's request to the Public
Utilities Commission for elirnina-
tion of the weekly pass and in
creases to Is cents for cash fares
and six tokens for 80 cents until
his committee makes a recon-
mendation.
He added he could not artici-
pate what the committee would
recommend. The committee is
headed by Vernon v Baker, an
examiner for the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Committee to Delay Stand.
Mr.. Baker said he believes there
ishould be II hearing before any
action BY the PUG and that; the
Ecompany has not shown that its
financial position IS such as to re-
Iquire an emergency fafe, increase.
He added that his committee
would study the situation, but
probably will not take any posi-
ton on the application until the
company has put in its evidence.
Meanwhile. it was considered
highly unlikely that the PUG
would act on the company's re-
quest without holding a public
hearing.
! In its petition to the PUG yes
terday, the company asked the
commission to let the new rates
go into effect on January %,
without a hearing. as an emer-
gency measure. or to grant the
new fares and then hold a hear
ing. The company said it would
go broke unless it is granted
higher fares.
/ A spokesman for the District
CIO Industria Union Council de-
clared the company proposal was
"htghhanded and arbitrary"
billiard Stokes, president of the
council, asserted:
"The people of the District are
entitled to due process. This re-
quires a hearing be called upon
adequate notice. In no event
should any increase be granted
until 1he company has demon
strated justification for the in
crease and until an indebendent
audit Of its financial records is
made"
Stock in Strong Demand.
Following the company an
nouncement yesterday, Capital
Transit Co. stock was in strong
demand on the Washington Stock
Exchange at $27 a share. This
was a new high for this year, as
well as for 1949.
A resolution opposing the Tran
sit company's request was passed
by a close vote at meeting of
the Rhode Island Citizens As
sociation last night.
The split came when members
objected that the group didn't
have enough facts to back up its
opposition.
I'D hate to have to appear be-
fore a hearing to oppose the in
crease with the few facts that
have been presented here tonight" /"
one member objected.
But another member declared
the association "just can't sit back
and let the company railroad
through rate increases because we
don't have complete set of facts.
That's what Capital Transit would
like to have us do, however"
The North Randle Community
Association, at the same time
passed motion asking the PUG
not to give the company the fare
increase it has requested without

Government Witness
Al Roberts Trial Tells
.0f Marihuana Parties

Marihuana smoking parties and
haggling sessions over the price
of cocaine in the home of James
M. Roberts were described today
in District Court as the trial of
Roberts and his pretty wife. Eva
lima, on narcotics law violations
began before a jury and Judge
F. Dickinson Let's.
The alleged episodes were de-
scribed by James j. Watson, col
ored, of Cleveland, a former friend
of the 41-year -old colored defend
ant. Roberts and his wife. who is
white, are charged with illegally
transferring a number of different
kinds Of drugs.
Watson testified that he came
to Washington from Cleveland last

diately went to the Federal Mar
cotic Bureau where he was given
$340 cash and instructed to go to
the Roberts home in the TOO block
0ts 9Eard streetsNW.
O = ACCOMPANIED by Agent.

agent. Watson said, he visited
Roberts sshe same day and wa'
weitomed al an old friend by the
defendant. The conversation ulti-
mateiy got around to the subjec,
of pot" which the witness ex-
planned was a sort of trade name
for marihuana.
Watson added that Roberts soon
brought out 5 ounces of marihauna
in a hat box lid and that every
one present. except Roberts, rolled
several cigarettes containing some
Of the stuff" and smoked them.
The party then rolled several
more drugged cigarettes and ad-
journed to colored night club
here for several hours. They later
returned to Roberts place where,
Watson said, they smoked several
more "potted" cigarettes and
opened preliminary discussions of
how Watson could buy some of
the stuff"
Asked for Ounce of Cocaine.
Watson continued that he and
the Federal agent, whom he iden-
titled as a friend, returned the
next day to the Roberts home
where they had breakfast, a few
drinks and watched a baseball
game over Roberts television set.
It was during this visit, Watson
said, that Roberts received a tele-
phone call in which Roberts in
dicated to the other party that he
should bring over some of those
things"
Shortly after. a man identified
as "Croxton" showed up with" a
bag full of money" ultimately pro-
duced from his pockets an en-
velope. Watson said Roberts later
handed him the same envelope
for which Watson paid $50.
Watson said he then told
Roberts he wanted to get q whole
ounce Of cocaine, to which Roberts
replied he could have it the next
day but that Watson would have
to pay $40 for it.
Surrendered in October.
Roberts surrendered to authori-
ties on October %, after warrants
had been issued for his arrest in
the course of an anti-drug sweep
by police.
Prior to then, he had been SEN
fenced to total Of from IL to AZ
months here and In New York for
other narcotics law violations. At
his October arraignment, he was
described by a Government attor-
ney as Public EnemyiNo. in the
narcotics trade"
AS the trial opened yesterday,
Roberts and his wife sat impas-.
siyely and slightly apart from their
attorneys. Joseph and Josiah Ly-
man. The reddish brown haired
Mrs. Roberts was smartly clad
in a brown tailored ensemble.

DON'T LAY TACKLE ASIDE
WHEN WATER is MUDDY

just because your favorite fish
ing hole gets little muddy from
sudden showers, don't lay your
tackle aside. You can catch fish
In muddy water but there's trick
to it.
Pick out the shiniest and most
colorful artificial bait. A fish can't
see in muddy water any better
than human so it takes some
thing bright to attract his at.en-
ton.
When the water is rising, ii
brings in {. ss,l food and fish &c
on the prosi for this new supply
wherever the water slows up like
on the rifles, around the base
of tree or rock or wherever the
water forms a swirl. These sort
of places are the natural food PAN
tries for the fish. Slip your baited
hook in among the natural foods
and you'll catch fish.
Once you locate a good log or
rock, remember it and fish il
at different times throughout the
day until you find just when the
fish come to dinner.
Too many fishermen select the
big open nice-looking water for
their fishing and wonder why
they don't catch fish. If fisher
men will just remember that fish,
like people, eat in the dining room
or kitchen and not in the living
room, they'll catch more fish.

applies to all of its I'll species OF
fish.
Restrictions have been removed

ing experiment started in l94S
with Lake Alma in Vinton County
and in 1916, 1947 and 1948 in
cluded eight lakes and one stream
In 1949 the experiment included
