La Roe Suggests Study
For Area Authority
Like New York's

A study to determine the feasi-
bility Of a Metropolitan Area au-
thority similar to the New York
Port Of Authority was proposed
yesterday by an official Of the
New York organization.
Wilbur L. La Roe. washington
associate counsel for the New
York group, made the suggestion
at q luncheon meeting Of the
Washington Board Of Trade
Metropolitan Development Com
mittee.
Leon Chatelain, jr., committee
chairman. said a subcommittee
has been considering such q pos
sibility for the last year. Sew
eral tentative legislative drafts
have been drawn up. He indi-
Gated. however, his group has not
reached q decision as to whether
it would seek active support fol
such a move.
Question Of Financing.
Mr.. La Roe said the 1854 ques-
ton" here would be how to
finance such an operation, and
he conceded he does not know
where the money might come
from. The New York authority
he said, had its beginning with
100000 appropriations each by
the States of New York and New
Jersey to set up a study COM
mission.
A similar action should be
the first step here. he said, pro-
posing that members of such a
group be named by the President
and by the Governors Of Mary
land and Virginia. The commits
sion could recommend whatever
steps it deemed necessary, he
said, recognizing that sharp diff
ferences exist between this area
and the New York New Jersey
region.
Operates Facilities.
The New York authority oper-
ates airports and facilities fol
railroads, shipping, bus lines and
other transportation. 1t does not
Mr.. La Roe stressed, either oper-
ate lines or have regulatory
power over them.
He told reporters he did not
mean to rule out the possibility
that such an authority here
should have regulatory control
over mass transportation facili-
ties in the Washington area. He
pointed out that this area has
the same problems of divided
State Jurisdictions that led tc
formation Of the New York au-
thority.
Among requisites of a success
full area authority, Mr.. La Roe
said, are that it "be freed from
politics and Government rec
tape" and that it support itsel1
from its own revenues.
A major part of the New York
authority's revenues comes from
tunnels and toll bridges.

7 cen Etiquette

Do you wish you could talk

ing you:
More date freedom? Later
hours for parties? Extra time
for radio, TV, telephone, after
school fun? A bigger allowance?
A chance to do and act like
most your age?
Do your parents seem to think
you need:
+ More time for chores, home
work, sleep, meals, family fun?
Wiser spending, greater earn
ingS? Sensible rules to suit you,
family and community?
To answer YES to such ques-
tions is a tip that you might be
ready to outgrow the overly per-
sonal family "hassle." AS you
mature you and your parents
want to get away from the cold
word war, the hot-temper blast,
the strictly family fight.

Army Considers Changes
In Legal Departments

A plan to reorganize the Army's
legal departments is under study
at the Pentagon.
The service employs from 1900
to 1,500 lawyers in various capa-
cities at preeSnt. More than 400
of them are in uniform.
Most of the attorneys are en-
ployed directly by local COM
mand and have little or no con-
tact with Army headquarters
here.
Under the plan being studied
by a reorganization committee
appointed by Secretary Of the
Army Stevens, there would be
less hiring of attorneys in the
field without clearance by the
judge advocate general and a
top level department counselor.
The judge advocate may be called
on to write legal policies on pro-
curement although he has no re-
sponsibility for letting of con-
tracts. The counselor advises
the Secretary on matters which
come to the Secretary's atten-
ton.

Truman Will Leave
Role in '54 Campaign
Up 10 Committee
BY the Assoeio.sd Pres,


CHICAGO. Nov. 28.-Citizen
Harry Truman said today he will
leave his role in the 1854 political
campaign up to the Democratic
National Committee.
The former President told a
news conference he wants to
campaign for his party because
he is grateful for what they
did for me-" He did not indi-
cate how active a participant
he would be.
He said he would be available
for campaign duty "if they feel
like I can do them any good. I
will +" glad to help them. But
I won't campaign on my own
hook"
Conflict Cleared Up.
A transcript of the news con-
ference had Mr.. Truman saying,
Il will campaign on my own
hook" However, when the con-
f1lcting statement was brought
to attention of the former Presi-
dent and party leaders a state
ment was issued that the tran
script was in error.
Mr.. Truman came here to ad-
dress an Israel bond drive. The
news conference was held after
his arrival by train from Kansas
City.
He told the newsmen they
could ask any questions they
liked, but you may not get an
answer" to some questions.
The questioners Immediately
steered the talk to the contro-
versial Harry Dexter White issue,
and to charges made in a radio
TV talk last Tuesday by Senator
Mccarthy.
Points to Nov. 16 Speech.
Mr.. Truman, deftly breaking
into the stream of questions,
bluntly told the newSmen:
II will invite you to read my
speech of November 16. That
will answer your question"
In the November 16 radio-TV
speech. Mr.. Truman said he per-
mitted White, now dead, to be
appointed to the International
Monetary Fund so that an FBI
investigation of suspected SUBJ
versives in the Government
would not be hampered. He also
criticized Senator McCarthy's
probe of Communists in Govern
ment work.
The Wisconsin Senator, reply
ing eight days later, said the
former President fostered what
he called "Trumanism" which
he described as "the placing of
your political party above the
interest of the country, regard
less of how much the country
is damaged thereby"
Silent on Mccarthy.
Mr.. Truman today brushed
aside all queries about Senator
McCarthy's definition of "Tru-
manism" and said: II don't
know what it was I didn't
listen to him. I didn't read
his speech"
He said, IT didn't know there
was such a thing" as Truman

STATE DEPARTMENT LINGO

The State Departments press releases have long
been source of curiosity Perhaps the lingo of the
officials and the official documents of state must con-
tain some elements of auster though we are not even
sure of this.
In trying to be dignfed however, we must be care.
ful not to appear too affected For example, when the
Soviet Air Force pet fighter attacked IT, S. Strategic
Air Command weather observation plane, near the Si-
berian Peninsula recently, the State Department an
nounced that it had vigorously" protested to the For
eign Office in Moscow
We have long wondered what vigorous protest
had that normal did not have We have wondered
whether meant that the diplomat calling at the Mos
COW Foreign Office walked upstairs vigorously or whe-
Their meant that he handed the paper over vigorously
Or perhaps it that those who prepared the docu-
ment in our State Department in Washington acted
vigorously in its preparation Just how the United States
protests vigorously in other words has managed to
eude us
From time to time the State Departments press re-
leases have reflected current Of popularity in the
use of certain words An old State Department standby
periphery For time almost everyone in the State De-
parment speaking about this counrys security and
defense periphery Another State Department standby

About one out of every two denias issued by the
State Department is termed categorical denial To the
average newspaper reader in the United States or any
where else the word categorical might just as well be
left off, In the first place. than half of those who
see it In print probably do not understand 1t and in the
second place. 1t adds nothing the denial anyhow But
be favorite word of the State
press section and must learn live with categorc-
al denaIs ~ since making lot of them these

All Of which talk, on words, adds up to little We
can't help but feel however. that little straight
talk and little less fancy phraseology would be good
policy for the press relation boys to follow

writer is still doing business.
He writes more than love letters.
He is partly public slenographer
and draws up affidavits and court
documents. Many Of the letter
writers are former government
employees who know the ms and
outs Of bureaucratic procedure.
Their services will sometimes save
the poor man the cost of lawyer.
The letter writer's are nicknamed
evangelist" because they center
in the Santo Domingo Plaza in
front of a colonial church. Each
morning they lug their table, two
chairs and an ancient typewriter
from . nearby storage place and
set up shop in the open air or in
an arcade.
In the provincial towns the
evangelists usually work in the
central plaza--in the shade of the
trees If in hot country. This is
close TO the government offices,
which always front on the plaza,
and the market where the servant
girls go.
