Utilities Chairman
Sees Transit Probe
Beneficial 10 Civ

Public Utilities Commission
Chairman Robert Mclaughlin
believes a congressional investi-
CATION of the Capital Transit
Co. would be of value to this
community.
Such a sweeping inquiry would
be authorized by a Senate-passed
bill. now held up temporarily by
the House Rules Committee.
Commissioner Mclaughlin ex-
pressed his views yesterday be-
fore Senate District subcom-
mittee. when questioned by Sub
committee Chairman Payne, Re-
publican, of Maine.
Asked why the House Rules
Committee has not taken action
on the legislation. Committee
Chairman Allen reiterated previ-
Gus statements that his unit had
been so busy he hadn't had a
chance to "go into it,"
Oh REQUESTS 1Or fFODcS.
He said the committee has had
81 requests for various probes by
the House and that maybe in
the next two or three weeks it
will get to the Senate-passed
legislation.
Commissioner McLaughlin's
declaration favoring an investi-
cation of Capital Transit came
before the Senate District sub
committee during consideration
of legislation having nothing to
do with the current controversy
over Washington's transit trou-
bleS.
Senator Payne brought up the
issue. The commissioner was
asked whether it would be of
definite value to the commits
sion to have the study of Capt.
tai Transit made by a Joint
congressional committee.
The commission chairman re-
piled he feels such an inquiry
would be value to the COM
munity."
THE company has poor pub
lie relations" Mr.. Mclaughlin
declared. adding there is lack
of public knowledge on the tran
sit situation.
Other Moves Considered.
Meanwhile, other legislation
on the transit problems is under
consideration by the House Dis
trict Committee and the House
Commerce Committee.
The District Committee plans
to consider again, at it's next
session, the Broyhill bill calling
for a sweeping study of all kinds
of Greater Washington trans
portation problems, including
highways and bridges.
The committee considered the
measure briefly yesterday but
postponed action until later.
Representative Broyhill, Repub-
lican, of Virginia, sponsor of the
bill, was promised that it would
be considered at the next COM
mittee session.
The Commerce Committee
plans to act later on several
legislative proposals on area
transportation, including a SEN
ate-passed bill for a three
member Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission to regulate
all passenger carriers here. A
House bill, companion to the
Senate measure, sponsored by
Representative Hyde, Republi-
can, of Maryland also is before
the Commerce Committee.

Police Pay Raise
By Don S. Worren


A pay raise for Washington
police and f1remen. cut back to
about IL per cent, probably will
be recommended sometime next
week by the Senate District Com
mittee.
The HouSe-paSSed bill for a Is
per cent increase was blocked
yesterday by Chairman Case.
He drew attention to the notice
from the District Commissioners
that they would recommend an
8 per cent pay raise for teachers
and officers of the public schools
He noted, too, that this came
along as a sequel to the Budget
Bureau recommendation that the
police -firemen raise should not
be more than 8 per cent. a view
adopted later by the Commis-
SionerS.
Most members of the Senate
committee were prepared to sup
port a bill by Senator Beall.
Republican, of Maryland iden-
tical with the House measure.
But when the issue came to a
decision in the closed-door SEN
ate committee session late yes
terday. the Case viewpoint
prevailed.
Action Held Up.
Action on the measure was
held up and the question was
sent back to the Beall Subcom-
mittee on Public Safety for fur
ther study.
The bill also was being re-
written to provide for pay re-
classification in general keeping
with the pattern of the House
bill but with scales cut back to
keep under the IL per cent
limitation.
Senator Beall said his subcom-
mittee probably will be ready to
act Monday.
Chairman Case said there was
considerable discussion" at the
closed meeting of the committee
yesterday.
He agreed that a majority of
committee members individually
favored passage of the House bill.
But he said it was clear that this
would run into some objections
when it came up on the Senate's S
consent calendar, where action
can be delayed by the objection
of a single Senator.
Advises Colleagues.
He told reporters he had ad-
vised his colleagues that, in view
of the stand taken by the Bud
get Bureau and the Commission
ers, IT would feel obligated to
ask that the bill be passed over If
the Is per cent bill were re-
ported"
Senator Morse, independent.
of Oregon suggested the possi-
bility Of a compromise at IL per
cent.
The House bill has an esti-
mated cost of about $3.7 million.
A 10 per cent bill, such as rec
commended earlier by the Com
missioners, was calculated to cost
about 81 million less. The 8 per
cent bill has a cost estimated at
about 81 million.
Official reports on a IL per
cent bill were yet to be calcu-
lated but one official said it
would run to about SO million.
The Senate Committee, it was
said, does not plan to make any
change in other provisions of the
House bill, providing for faster
step-ups in pay. These are de-
signed to keep rockies in the
service.

ing breakfast. Firemen said it

ing room stove which ignited the

The blaze spread to the up
stairs of the frame house and
f1remen had to tear off part of
the roof and outside wall to ex-
tinguish it.
Firemen from Capitol Heights
and Seat Pleasant and the Dis
trict Heights Rescue squad also
fought the blaze. Neighbors
took in the children while Mr..
Lagna went on to the funeral.
