Representative Hyde, Republic
can, of Maryland today intro
duced a new bill for a commits
sion of three members to regu-
late transportation in the Wash
ington Metropolitan area.
The measure is substantial
revision from earlier legislation
already pending in the House
to establish a similar regulatory
body.
Many changes have been made
by Mr.. Hyde, however, to make
his new bill more specific and
to specify the power of the new
commission.
The measure, considered of
vital Importance in the long
Congressional effort to improve
public transportation in the
area, was expected to go to the
House Commerce Committee.
Mr.. Hyde explained that the
three members of the commits
sion would be appointed by the
President from the District. Vir-
GINA and Mar, land subject to
confirmation by the Senate.
The new commission would be
given power specifically to regu-
late certain carriers operating in
the area. but would exempt six
classes of carrier.
The Hyde Bill would make
many changes in legislation
which twice has passed the Sen
ate.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The fact
that French Foreign Minister
Bidault is a featured performer
on the first day of the Berlin
conference, reflects something
more than the operation of mere
chance.
The spotlight on Mr.. Bidault is
in line with point of Western
strategy which has become more
clearly understood here within
the last "a hours. This strategy
is to push the French delegation
into foreground and. in effect.

The thinking behind this

Britain and the United States.
The solution to Europe's prob
lens, it is felt. is basically a
question of settling the differ

many. And if this is to be done,
then these countries must take
the initiative in working out
their own salvation.
At the conference, of course.

HYDE Offers New Bill to Create
DC. Transportation Agency

House a more complete piece of
legislation to establish control in
the area while a comprehensive
examination of the Capital
Transit Co. and buslines serving
the area is still under way by
the Senate District Committee.
The Hyde bill carefully defines
the carriers which would be con-
trolled.
Area Is Defined.
Those to be regulated would
be carriers transporting people
over regular routes in the Metro
politan Area from one point to
another.
The area is defined as counties
in nearby Maryland and Vir-
GINA Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Arlington and Fairfax
and the cities of Alexandria and
Falls Church.
The carriers which would be
excluded from control by the
new commission are:
TaxicabS; charter operations:
railroads under control of the
Interstate Commerce CommlS-
sion; sightseeing buses: trans
portation such as the Interstate
buslineS whose major business
is outside the Metropolitan Area,
and carriers operating entirely
within Maryland or Virginia.
Mr.. Hyde explained that his
bill would make several changes
in District law. Generally. it
would transfer certain legisla-
tive authority of the District
Public Utilities Commission and
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to the new body.
Differences Outlined.
The principal points of diff
ference between the bill and Dis
trict law were these:
1.-The new commission could
require metropolitan area car
riers to establish through routes
and joint fares with other such
carriers. There is no similar pro-
vision in the District law.
1.-The new commission would
require metropolitan area car
riers to carry insurance or make
other arrangements for satisfy
ing liabilities for personal in
jury. death or property damage
arising out Of their operations.
There is no similar provision in
District law"

Smoke EnveIops
Queen as Train
Races Her Auto
BY the Associated Press

DUNEDIN, New Zealand, Jan.
25.-A New Zealand locomotive
engineer, apparently determined
to let passengers on his train, get
a good look at Queen Elizabeth
II, raced the monarch's car SO
miles today into Dunedin. Clouds
of black smoke from the speed
ing engine at times enveloped the
royal party.
The race began when the
Queen and the Duke of Edin-
burgh, driving to Dunedin after
two-day rest in private home
at Longbeach, near Ashburton,
hit the main road that runs
parallel to the railroad and only
a few yards away. The Christ
church-Dunedin express roared
down the track at the same time.
Although New Zealand's trains
are not built for speed. the loco
motive engineer poured on the
coal to keep pace with the speed
ing royal car.
The Queen and the Duke are
on the final stage of their 38-day
tour of New Zealand. They will
end the trip at Bluff, on the
southern end Of South Island, in
six days.

White House ParIev
Reaches No Accord
On Bricker's Plan
Congressional Leaders
Continue Efforts
For Compromise
By J. A. O'Leorv =

Congressional leaders left the
White House today without an
agreement en- the Bricker
amendment to change tn e
treaty making power.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California said
conferences would go on be-
tween opposing sides at the Cap
itol. and that ali hope for a
compromise has not been aban-
doned.
II think there is still certainly
a possibility that language can
be worked out to meet the legit-
innate doubts some people have
had that there is a loophole in
the Constitution" said Senator
Knowland.
He answered with a fiat mo
when asked if he was taking
back to the Capitol any new
White House proposal.
Two Major Points.
The controversy over the
Bricker amendment has revolved
around two points:
The section which would
write into the Constitution the
requirement that a treaty could
affect internal law in the United
States only if followed by a
statute which both Houses OF
Congress could pass in the alb
sence of treaty.
2. A section which would en-
power Congress to restrict by law
the areas in which the President
could make executive agreements
with other countries which do
not require ratification like a
treaty.
Senator Knowland admitted as
he left the White House at II
o'clock that. as of that moment
there was no agreement.
Senator Bricker today de-
scribed opponents of his plan for
restricting treaty-making power
as a disciplined phalanx of one
worlders." He made the state
ment in a message to an organ
ization known as the Vigilant
Women for the Bricker Amend
ment, who have gathered in
Washington for the impending
debate.
Senator Bricker said oppo-
nents will repeat over and over
the same discredited arguments
until sheer repetition gives them
spurious ring of truth. 1t will
take the vigor and honor of peo-
pie like you to combat their
wilynesS."
Senator Knowland held out
the possibility that he might
have more to say this afternoon
after further conferences.
Debate Resumes Tomorrow.
) The time for settling the con-
troversy without a floor fight is
growing short. The Senate is
due to resume debate on the
Bricker amendment tomorrow
following action on the mutual
defense pact with South Korea
Senator Knowland predicted il
will take a week or 10 days to
dispose of the Bricker amend
ment. He said the Senate would
follow its normal schedule this
week, but would hold night ses-
sions starting next week.

Bids for Return

Exclusive Power
Of Senator Over
Jobs Is Removed
By Allen Drury

Republican members of the
Senate Permanent Investigating
subcommittee today rescinded its
resolution giving Chairman Nc

sin. the sole right to hire and
fire staff employees.
Senator Mccarthy joined In
the unanimous vote which SUBJ
stituted a resolution providing
that hiring and firing should be
done by a majority of the COM
mittee members. Other Repub-
lican committee members are
Senators Mundt. of South Da-
kota; Dirksen, of Illinois, and
Potter of Michigan.
AppeasiAg Democrats.
The Republican action was
taken as a conciliatory move in
the hope it would persuade DEM
ocratic Senators Mcclellan. Of
Arkansas; Symington. of Mis-
souri,. and Jackson. Of WASH
ington, to return to the COM
mittee. The Democrats resigned
last July 10 in protest against
Senator McCarthy's control Of
the committee staff. They also
objected to some Of the Wis
consin Senator's investigating
methods.
The Democratic walkout was
precipitated by a dispute over
Senator McCarthy's hiring of j.
B. Matthews as the committees
staff director.
All three Democrats were
present at this mornings ses-
sion Following the Republican
action they withdrew to decide
on the conditions under which
they will resume their commit
tee seats.
They are scheduled to meet
with the Republicans again this
afternoon, following brief con-
ference between Senators Nc
earthly and Mcclellan.
Indications were that the
three Democrats were approach
ing meeting in a wait-and-see
mood. Although they repeatedly
were surprised and pleased by
the Republican action, it was
apparent that they wished to get
further assurances from Senator
Mccarthy before returning to
the committee.
1t seemed likely that if such
assurances were received they
would be willing to resume full
participation in the committees
activities.
No Other Changes Due.
Senator Mccarthy told report.
ers that, while there was no dis.
cussion of other rules changes
this morning, I'VE told them we
would view in a friendly light
anything they wanted to bring
up"
Senator Mccarthy added that
"the rule is off the books whether
they return or not"
He said that one of the rea-
sons why he was willing to lean
over backwards" in meeting
Democratic objections was be-
cause 1T is an extremely dan.
gerouS precedent to have a one

Senator Mundt, who made the
resembling motion, said the DEM
ocrats "all expressed their ap-
probation" for the Republican
action. He said he felt it was
particularly important to have
both parties represented on a
committee investigating corrup-
ton under a Democratic admin
istration."

The West seized the initiative

role Of temporary chairman.
Counter to Soviet Views.
The French British stand.
backing up Mr.. Dulles previous
policy statements, ran sharply
counter to the views expected
from Soviet Foreign Minister v.
NJ. Molotov.
Mr.. Bidault touched of the
brass-tacks discussions with an
assertion that the conference
should be confined to German
unity and an Austrian peace
treaty Moscow has already said
this meeting should be the
springboard for talking about
Asia too. with Red China taking
part. The West Is standing solid
ly against this.
The French minister declared
the belief Of Parts that a united
Germany linked to a Western
family Of nations that is purely
defensive in character is the
surest way to prevent rebirth Of
ancient Prussian militarism.
Moscow's rage over the North
Atlantic pact and German par
ticipation in European defense
has been something less than
secret.

the West to recognize the East

Added Guarantees Mentioned.

ment is "unshakably loyal" to
the United Nations and also to
