Spencer Vows
New Policy on
Reorganization
Says Agency Heads
Will Get Chunce
To Stote Views

District agency heads affected
by proposed departmental reor-
ganlzation plans will. In the fu-
ture, get a chance to state their
views before such plans are sub.
mitted to the Commissioners.
This was the pledge made last
night by Commissioner Samuel
Spencer interviewed over radio
station WWDC.
Mr.. Spencer was questioned in
connection with failure of the
Commissioners and reorganiza-
ton officials to let affected
agency heads state their views
toward the licensing inspections
revamping proposals until after
the plan had been submitted to
the city heads.
Not the Policy.
This is not to be the policy"
the Commissioner declared last
night.
In fact. he continued, both he
and Engineer Commissioner
Louis w. Prentiss have agreed it
is quite important" that hear
ings be granted the department
heads before completion of re-
organization plans.
Mr.. Spencer said the only
reason this was not done in
connection with the licensing
inspection plan was that the
reorganizers were rushed" in
getting the plan before the Com
misSionerS.
Sees Money Saved.
Speaking of the government
reorganization program in gen.
eral. the Commissioner declared
he is confident it will save money
and promote efficiency.
He said he feels members Of
the House District Appropria-
tions Subcommittee want to see
the most efficient and economi-
cal government operation here.
and favor reorganization unless
they think it's not working"
| Mr.. Spencer emphatically
stated he believes the program
is working.

Senate Will Debate
kahtt
Status Tomorrow

Senator Morse, the one-r1an
Independent party in the SEN
ate. may get his answer early
this week as to whether he will
have to accept assignments to
the District and Public Works
Committees.
Debate is to begin tomorrow
on his resolution to amend the
Senate rules SO that he could
keep his old assignment on the
important Armed Services and
Labor Committees.
Colleagues Have Doubts.
There is no prediction as to
how long the argument will con-
tinue. Senate members, however,
are saying they could not see
how he could win in his move
to enlarge the membership of
the Armed Services and Labor
Committees so he could regain
his old places there.
The Oregon Independent has
warned the Senate, however, that
his mail shows growing support
for his Independent party atti-
tude.
|, His resolution has been sent
to the Senate by IT'S Rules Com
mittee with an adverse report
filed by Chairman Jenner, Re-
publican of Indiana.
BOlted Party Last Year.
Senator Morse was deprived of
his seniority and big committee
assignments because he bolted
the party last year in a rejec-
tion of some of the policies of
the Eisenhower program.
Senator Morse has gone
through nearly five months in
the new Congress without a COM
mittee assignment. He has indi-
Gated he will take the District
and Public Works assignment If
he cannot persuade the Senate
to give him places on his former
more important committees.

House Group
Set 10 Act on
Transit Policy
Meeting Is Planned
To. Study Proposals
For Area Setup
By Don S. Warren

The House Commerce Commit
tee may set = policy this week
as to what should be done on
the proposed creation Of a WASH
ington metropolitan area transit
commission.
Chairman Wolverton said he
planned an executive meeting
early this week to decide the
course Of action on this and a
number Of other bills on which
hearings have been held.
Hearings on the transit COM
mission issue are to be concluded
tomorrow with q statement by
L. H. Pou. assistant chief counsel
Of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Commission.
Sees Definite Need.
Mr.. Wolverton, New Jersey
Republican, said he had found
almost unanimous sentiment
that something should be done. -
But he stressed last night that
just what that something is has
yet to be worked out.
Once the policy is adopted.
he said, then q tremendous job
of redrafting will be needed" in
setting up the proposed regional
commission.
This indicated that If the COM
mittee decides to go ahead with
the Senate-passed johnson bill
or the similar measure sponsored
by Representative Hyde. Repub-
lican, Of Maryland, there will be
no rush to report out a bill
within a matter of hours or days.
"a lot Of study needs to be
given to working out the plan, -
Mr.. Wolverton said. He said it
was an extremely complicated
problem" and one on which there
should have been some overall
planning long before now.
Representative Hyde, as q
sponsor Of one Of the pending
bills, was more optimistic, say
ing he believed the House Com
merce Committee now was sold
on the general idea that a re-
glonal commission was needed
to control bus, streetcar and
taxicab rates and services.
Mr.. Hyde agreed that much
remained to be done to work
out details. He said he was
studying some new amendments
and also was planning a legal
outline Of what the new COM
mission would do and why 1t
was needed.
Under pending plans there
would be- d presidentially ap-
pointed 4 regional commission
which would take over control
of transit problems in the Dis
trict and in services between the
District sand nearby Maryland
and Virginia. The Maryland and
Virginia commissions. however,
would continue to have control
over purely State questions.
District officials have argued
that the District Public Utili-
ties Commission should continue
to have control over the bus
mileage tax here, location OF
loading stops within the District
and like questions.
