Board for Area
Unanimous Vote Puts
Bill Back on Calendar;
Virginions Nay Fight
By Don S. Worren

The Senate District Commit
tee today gave its unanimous
Endorsement to the Johnson bill
to create Washington Metro
politan Area transit commission
to take over regulation of bus,
streetcar and taXicab operations
in Greater Washington.
The action required only II
minutes.
Five members of the commit
tee, a quorum. attended. They
were Chairman Case, Senator
Payne, Republican, of Maine and
Democratic Senators Neely of
West Virginia, Mansfield of
Montana and Gore of Tennessee.
This bill already has the
unanimous approval of the Sen
ate Commerce Committee which
reported the bill March 20.
Virginia Senators May Fight.
1t now will go back to the
Senate calendar to await action.
Virginia Senators have indi-
Gated tina; they may oppose the
measure and Gov. Battle of Vir-
ginia authorized statement
against it at hearing on an
other transit measure on the
other side of the Capitol.
Representative Broyhill Re-
publican, of Virginia has a bill
for a presidential commission to
study transportation problems of
the greater Washington area.
Proponents of the johnson
bill have called the Broyhill
measure a slow-motion approach
to the transit problem.
One Amendment Adopted.
Senator Payne, whose Com
merce subcommittee held hear
ings on the bill April 2, recon-
mended only one amendment.
which the District Committee
adopted. This would provide for
judicial review, by Federal
courts, of decisions and regula-
tions of the regional commits
sion.
Under the johnson bill the
Metropolitan Area commission
would regulate mass transporta-
ton within the District. It also
would regulate such transporta-
ton between nearby areas of
Maryland and Virginia and the
District, but would leave to the
Maryland and Virginia commits
sions the present regulation they
| now have over intrastate opera
tions within their own jurisdic-
tionS.
States Rights a Question.
Answering questions from
Chairman Case, Senator Payne
said the only basic question
raised at his hearing was
whether creation of the new
commission would encroach on
the rights of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. 1--WE were advised by
rather competent authority" he
said, that it would not"
Senator Case also asked if the
subcommittee had considered
letting the Interstate Commerce
Commission handle the regional
problem. Senator Payne said his
subcommittee had and that 'it
was concluded such a move likely
would wind up with the regional
problem as a "stepchild.
Senator Mansfield asked if
there were any provision in the
johnson bill to prevent mem
hers or employees of the new COM
mission from resigning after
short while to take jobs with
one of the regulated utilities.
The answer was no. Senator
Nicely added that he had
separate bill on that subject
which he hoped would be en-
acted

and Laotian forces apparently
were falling back toward Luang
Prabang, residence capital of
the little country's ailing King

The French said they ordered
the evacuation because of the
difficulty in defending the little

Will Fight Alongside French.
Laos called up all able-bodied
men between the ages of Is and
35 to fight alongside the French
against the guerrilla invaders.
The states regular forces num-
ber only $4,000 men but mobili-
zation is expected to boost them
to about $4,000. The kingdom
has a population of is million.
A French high command
spokesman said last night the
Wet Mini has about three divi-
sions and an army of coolies
totaling about $4,000 men, in
Guiding 10000 combatants. in
the area.
Laos previously had escaped
Wet Mlnh iucurSionS in the S9v-
en-year-long war in Indo- China,
except for small guerrilla forces.
The Wet Mimi apparently had
prepared for the thrust for some
time, after failing last winter to
capture the French fortified base
of Ma San, 1T miles west of
Hanoi and a key to the control
of the mountainous lands known
as the Thai country.
French Built Up Defenses.
The French have been flying
troops and war materials into
Laos for the last six weeks in an
effort to build up the defenses
of the state, using an airStrip
built at Sam Neua as an unload
ing point.
French officials viewed the
Wet Mimi drive into Laos as a
bid for a prestige success" the
capture of a large opium produc-
ing area and the terrorization of
the peaceful Laotians.
Although the full scope and
character of the offensive will
not likely be clear for at least a
week, some sources speculated
the drive might be a diversion
airy move. They suggested that
the Wet Mini may turn the bulk
of their striking forces into the
Red River delta centered on
Hanoi, the key defense bastion
of French union forces in Indo-
China.
Most French officials, however.
thought it likely that the Wet
Mini would attempt to drive
across Laos to the borders of
Burma and Thailand. giving
them an opportunity to exert
pressure" on those countries.

 There naturally some people against any pro- ter living standards So Pm not really surprised. However you will notice the, Something For Nothing, standard they always work under by the fact that they ask the paper to publish their political advertisement at it's expense. The Kodiak City Fathers have asked us to organ ize the outside of the city limits so they will have an authorized body to deal with on utilities. We held meeting and decided to form P, UD. delegation appointed to report decision to the Kodiak city council, which it did. That body commended us on our initiative and pledged it's support any constructive move we made.
 Now the something for nothing "moocher'' group is opposed to it.
 They say the city has to give water and put in call
 This is possibly so but do think we are morally bound to foot own expenses. will vote for the proposed P. U. D. will also SUD- port it and try to make it success.

Experimental Record
Sef as Native Dancer
Gets 7-Pound Edge
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Native
Dancer, 1852 horse of the year,
who tops the Experimental Free
Handicap ratings with 1870
pounds, is only the fourth thor
oughbred in the history of the
Experimental to receive 130 or
more pounds.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt's un-
beaten gray colt, voted the No.
l horse Of 1852 by most racing
authorities, is listed at seven
pounds above the second horses,
the Trio Stables Laffango and
Ben Whitaker's Tahitian King.
The Experimental rankings
are issued each January by
John B. Campbell, veteran
Handicapped and racing secre-
tary of the New York tracks.
They reflect his opinion of
what last years two-year-olds
will accomplish in such three
year-old classics as the Ken
lucky Derby, Preakness, Bel
mont and other stakes.
The Seven-pound spread be-
tween Native Dancer and
Tahitian King and Laffango is
the greatest in Experimental
history. Count Fleet. who re-
ceived 132-highest of all
gave five pounds to Devils
Thumb in 1943. The great Cita-
ton got only 1875 in 1948, three
more than for Better Self, and
went on to win 10 of 20 races,
including the Derby-Preakness-
Belmont Triple Crown.
The only others to get 13O

Stables Tom Fool tops with 1875

Native Dancer, winner of all
of his nine races, is a son of the

$3.50, ,495, breaking the record of
