Make Huste Slowly

S'NNS baOStC SIOWBy
Your editorial of April II, Make
Haste Slowly" which advises a con-
tinuation of the unending series of
studies before any action is taken to
improve public transit, would make
more sense if any of the developing
opposition"l'to which you refer were
opposed on the basis that unified con-
troll would not appreciably improve
public transportation or that there is
a better way to do it. However, the
only opposition to the proposal has
been that of the Virginia Commission,
which is concerned with preservation
of it's authority, and one of the transit
companies. which seems vaguely con-
cerned with a possible confscation of
its property if the proposed commits
sion were to take some unspecified &C
ton outside it's constitutional au-
thority.
The D. c. Commission now controls
intra-District transit. The Interstate
Commerce Commission now controls
interstate movements by transit. even
through interstate movements over
lines of more than one carrier where
it chooses to exercise that authority.
Neither the D. c. Public Utilities Com
mission nor the Interstate Commerce
Commission has objected to the pro-
posal to create the new commission
and to give up their own authority
over these matters, nor has the Mary
land Commission objected to the pro-
posed legislation.
For several years, the proponents Of
this legislation have urged cooperation
between existing regulatory agencies to
cope with the transit problem, but with
no success. Must they wait mini
mum of five more years for formal
compact which may never be executed,
while public transit continues to de-
teriorate and hundreds of millions Of
dollars more must be spent for more
bridges and highways to handle traffic
which should be moving by public
transit?
Without unified control of transit,
transit cannot be even co-ordinated.
let alone integrated into single sys-
tenn. There are only three ways to
achieve unified control; either by the
proposed Federal Commission, an
er-State-Federal compact. or by
public ownership. A compact would

The Point System

After more than thirty years of driv-
ing in the District of Columbia, without
ever having been charged with any
traffic violation while the car was
in operation. decided the first of the
month to cease driving back and forth
to work each day.
What motivated my decision was not
the actions of the policeman on the
street, but the attitude he, the prose-
cutor and possibly the judge might as
sumo behind the scenes if I were
charged with a serious violation some
time in the future. From past expe-
rienceS with minor traffic violations and
published reports. their theory seems
to revolve around the assumption that
once you are tagged, a regulation
should be found to fit, even though the
original charge must be dropped for
lack OF evidence. The unwary respect
able driver will fall prey to this despic-
able system, rather than the inveterate
reckless driver, who is conversant with
their trickery, and will be able to cope
With them through counsel.

With the Punishment of Ste

suppressed the leading Catholic
churchmen within their boun-

In all Red-controlled nations,

Cardinal WySzynski, archbis-

Poland. was banished from his

functions and violating the 1850
Church-State agreement by
anti-government activity, ac-
cording to the Warsaw Radio.

was allowing the. cardinal to re-

Ing the banishment, the govern,

had ignored frequent warnings"
and declared it was acting "in
its concern for the complete
normalization of relations be-
tween the State and Churcn."

prelate had carried out "a cam

Enthusiasmfor Bonds
Curbed bY.Prospect
OF Financing Flood
BY Arthur Merims
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The
prospect of prodigious Govern
ment and corporate financing
within the next few months
dampened the enthusiasm of
bond market investors for out
standing issues this week. Gov
ernment bonds declined and cor
porate prices turned irregular.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
warned the Nation that if Fed
eral spending continues at pres
ent levels, the Government can
expect to be So or SO billion
deeper in debt by the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, 1854.
Humphrey Policy Cited.
On another speech, Mr.. Hum
phrey restated the administra-
tion's policy of public debt man
agement. "At every appropriate
time the Government will extend
the maturity of the national debt
by planning longer term issues,
he said.
Financial circles generally
agreed that the Treasury execu-
tive's program will result in a
large number of new long-term
bond issues in 1854. That means
maturing short-term Govern
ment debt certificates will be
converted to distantly maturing
bonds and new financing, if Con-
gress co-operates by raising the
$275 billion debt limit, will like
wise take the form of 15-40-year
obligations.
Treasures Decline.
The Treasury's 30-year 3Hs
lost 20/32 of a point this week
at 103 4/32 bid. Victory loan
21as of 1961-1972 dropped 24/32
at 941a bid and the new 224s
of 1861 were off 1892 at
100 1882 bid. Shorter term loans
were steadier. The 23ss of 1858
never budged from SO 1882 bid.
