This is to be followed by steadily

able to give Mr.. Eisenhower Q

DR.. White dismissed as "a

which. it was disclosed a week

after some recent policy confer

not due to his heart. and empha-

Transit Plan
OF CIeveIand's
Gets PUG. Eye
Scheme Involves
PrivoteIy-Finunced
Public Ownership

A private transit auLnOrlty
such as that used in Cleveland
would be favored by the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission
IL public ownership Of the Wash
ington transit system proves to
he necessary.
Engineer Commissioner Thorn
las A. Lane, a member Of the
utilities commission, made that
statement last night in COM
menting on the city's transit
crisis.
It came on the eve Of an
|nouncement tomorrow Of some
decision" by the utilities COM
mission on how to keep transit
running In Washington after the
Capital Transit Co. franchise
dies by act Of Congress next
August IL.
Commissioner Lane explained
that by private authority" he
meant a publicly-owned. but
privately financed Government
agency.
And, he said, -"these authors
ties have performed efficiently.
There is no need to hold any
fear that they would be -inef-
Ificient."
Bin Being Drafted
The commission has been
drafting q bill to set up a pub
licly owned authority on the
Cleveland pattern for several
weeks, as disclosed in the Star
November AZ, TO provide an al
tentative course II no satisfac-
tory private operator should be
found.
The Cleveland transit au-
thority Is owned by the city.
The i've members Of its board
of directors are appointed BY
the mayor with approval Of the
city council. Not more than
three may be members Of the
same political party.
The board. by vote Of the
citizens Of Cleveland. has com
plete supervision, management
and control Of all phases of
operation OF the transit system.
It sets transit fares to cover
all costs and decides how much
service shall be given.
The authority finances itself
by issuing bonds which must be
paid of out Of revenues from
transit fares. They are sold
through regular market invest
ment channels.
The first issue Of such bonds.
for SITS million. was sold at
8 per cent interest. Later, the
unrepaid bonds were refinanced
at Ia per cent interest. Al
though revenue bonds, they were
secured by a lien on the prop
erty.
Report to People"
Gen. Lane spoke over Radio
Station WWDC's Report to the
People" on the heels Of collapse
of what Commission Chairman
George E. c. Hayes has called a
"last-ditch effort to persuade
private enterprise" to take over
the transit franchise.
The effort was climaxed last
Thursday and Friday by public
hearings called toilet a group of
Baltimore investors represented
by former Senator Willard E.
Tydings tell why they should be
given the franchise.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. IT,

the Senate Commerce Commit
tee and the aviation subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Monro-
ney, Democrat of Oklahoma,
which originated an urgent de-
mand for renewed action on q
second airport to relieve Ma
tional's congestion.
Basis of the criticism appears
to be the way the report was
leaked" even before members
Of the committee knew what was
In it.
Monroney Attacks LEAK"
The report Is now being
printed for submission to the
Commerce Committee. but much
Of its contents have been dis
closed. among them an almost
certain recommendation to build
the new airport on the contro-
versial Burke fVa.) site.
After four years of heel
Dragging" Senator Monroney
charged. Commerce suddenly
gets busy. leaks the information
and attempts to shift the blame
to Fred Lee and the Congress.
After all. We were the ones who
demanded the report"
Commerce is no new target in
Monroney's sights. He has
charged that Frederick B. Lee.
former administrator of the
Civil Aeronautics Administration,
was "ousted" and has announced
he has full backing Of his sub
committee for Senate, investiga-
ton Of Mr.. Lees resignation.
Independent Agency Urged
Senator Magnuson. Democrat
of Washington. chairman Of the
full Commerce Committee pre-
viously proposed the investiga-
ton.
Senator Monroney also has
announced that he may ask Con-
gress to take the CAA out of
the Department Of Commerce
and make it an independent
agency as it was prior to 1910.
Request for the report from
Commerce, made after subcom-
rnittee hearings last summer.
said ut Is the final recommen-
dalton Of the committee that
funds be appropriated at the
earliest possible date to pro-
coed to carry out" new airport
construction.
Senator Monroney also blamed
Secretary Weeks for whiting
away at aviation appropriations.
Burke Site Favored
Meanwhile, the airport situa-
ton was being stirred into more
turbulence. particularly with the
virtual certainty that the Com
merce Department and CAA will
make the Burke site its No. /
selection.
Official opposition to Burke
rises into an almost solid bloc
made up of the Maryland con-
gressional delegation Joined by
the Virginia members Of Con-
gress. particularly those in the
northern section.
Maryland is protesting because
the recommendation overlooks
the big Friendship international
Airport near Baltimore. Virginia
Is opposed to Burke because the
congressional members feel their
constituents don't want 1t and
