Tronsit Investigation

The Sunday Star Of March quoted
Representative Patterson, in charge Of
q House District Committee study Of
the advisability Of congressional in
vestigation of the Capital Transit Co..
as saying that no citizens association
had as yet asked for such. an investi-
cation. 80 :" >f@s"
Mr.. Patterson did not seem anxious
to fgo into the matter of citizens COM
plants, and do not refer ID minor
"gripes." called his Office one day to
make an appointment, as public utilities
committee schaitpian S0f the 1ort Davis
Citizens Association. to discuss matter
involving number Of Southeast lines
and certain Public Utilities Commission
decisions. His secretary said he was too
busy with the Military Affairs Commit
tee on the subject Of universal military
training, and to call back in q few days.
A second call put me in touch with
Mr.. Patterson himself. but he said he
was too busy-"up to his neck"-to dis
cuss anything, and would put it in
writing. This did, including sketching
a map. but the entire matter was sufh-
GENTLY involved that q personal confer
ence would have been much simpler.
If MIR. Patterson did not have TIME to
obtain information from citizens as
sociation representatives. that Is one
thing, but to indicate that, the groups
are disinterested is quite another and
not justified.

REPEAL OF AMERICAN M
PORT RE- TRICTION ON
CHEESE URGED - A letter adj

STlLESE I hOED -- "A letter al
dressed to members of the Unit
ed States Senate by I. Petersen,
Trade Adviser to the Denmark
Cheese Association, urging the re-
peal of restrictions on the import
of cheese, points out that the ra-
ito of agricultural exports from
the United States to Denmark is
more than 8 to l.
The United States in 1850 ex-
ported to Denmark, in agricultural
products, a total of $25, $50, 900,
while importing such products
from Denmark to the value of So
$4,000.
Total United States exports to
Denmark amounted to we'll over
"a million dollars as compared TO
somewhat over II million dollars
of imports from Denmark.
Mr.. Petersen wrote in part:
In order to revitalize the econ
omies of the free nations through
out the world, it is imperative
that there be freedom of trade.
The United States stands to be the
greater loser, as demonstrated by
the above figures, if these nations
should turn their faces to the East
rather than to the United States
because of embargos which we
place upon their products. We
urge repeal of S.21O4."
