TRANSIT
City Heads Ideas
Turn to Ownership
By Public Group

The District government ar
rived last week right where
many Washingtonians warned
during last summers transit
strike it would arrive--at plans
for public ownership Of the
city's transit system.
The Public Utilities Com
mission said 1t was framing
a plan whereby a government
authority would operate the
buses. The P. u. C. said 1t
wanted to set up a Federal
corporation financed by the
public sale of bonds and not
dependent in any way on tax
money for operating expenses
or interest payment and re-
tirement Of bonds. The au-
thority would set its own fares.
1t was just an idea, Of
course. Details will have to
be worked out and congress
sional approval will have to be
secured. Even If Congress ap-
proves land Maryland Sena-
tor John Marshall Butler
accused the city heads last
week of deceiving Congress
about the desirability Of kick
ing out the Wolfson manage
ment OF Capital Transit.
problems of financing still
can arise.
The P. U. c. and District
Commissioners have always in
sisted private financing can run
the transit system. But 1t was
difficult to see last week why
private investors would be
any more interested in a pub
lie authority not backed by
the cityis purse than q pri-
vately owned company. The
answer probably was that a
purchaser Of authority bonds
would assume that the city
would be morally obligated to
pay off any debts Of the au-
thority.
Public ownership became
necessary when the PUG last
week said no prospective pri-
vate owner had been found.
The five groups actively seek
ing to pick up the franchise
Capital Transit had been or
dered to drop all failed to
produce the necessary money.
The door is still open. Of
course. to any group which

sibility for tearing UP the
tracks, unless some deal to the
contrary is worked out by ne
collation..
One other aspect Of the de-
cision of public ownership was
that it provides a club with
which opponents Of the Com
missioners' transit policy can
figuratively beat them over the
head.
The first such pass at their
scalps came last week from
Maryland's Republican Sena-
tor John Marshall Butler, who
charged they had deceived
Congress" by insisting that
would-be private successors to
Capital Transit would be q
dime q dozen"
They can expect a lot more
such hair-raising expeditions
before the transit crisis is
settled.

Freak Wind Shift
Brings Destruction
To Pacific Coast

Early last week airline pi-
lots flying to Hawaii from
California encountered head
winds 50 strong they feared
they might not make 1t. Later
flights were Cancelled.

to stranded passengers eager

from its normal arctic path
and had descended from its
usual shakespeare heights.
There was no use trying to
ny until 1t moved away.
AS the broad stream of air
continued to move from west
to east 1t picked up warm,
moist air over the Pacific.
That moisture was dropped. by
the millions of tons, over
Northern California, Southern
Oregon and Western Nevada.

the burden Of the rivers.
BY the end Of the week the
West Coast was suffering
some Of the most destructive
floods Of its history.
Some towns seemed to be
almost wiped out. Others
were ordered completely evac-
uated as the water threatened
to tear down desperately rein
forced bikes. Hundreds OF
persons were evacuated by
helicopter. many more by boat.
How many had to flee their
homes would not be counted
for some time. but 1t ran into
the scores OF thousands. Prop
erty damage was over $40 mil
lion. The number of known
dead was relatively small by
the end Of the week-fewer
than q score.

Majorca's flanking position
In the Mediterranean and its
large harbor at Palma make 1t
a good candidate for both a
naval and air base. Recent
visits Of United States Navy
units and Air Force technicians
have started the rumors flying
and the Majorcan merchants
and businessmen are rubbing
their hands In anticipation of
an influx of American dollars.
Palma. Majorca's capital, is
q beautiful city dominated by
the bulk and spires of a
eenturies-old cathedral. The
Borne" Palma's main street.
Is lined with modern shops
and sidewalk cafes. The res
taurants of Palma are famous
for their international variety.
Etone-walled German rath-

Heading out of Palma for one

the small bus. a 1882 Chevro-
let, rattles along the noun
tain roads at a perilous clip.
Artistic Roods
The roads wind like grey
SerpentS along the coast, hang
over one jagged precipice after
another, and shoot down like
roller coaster rails into the
valleys. Some of the main
roads of Majorca were built
by an early governor, a gen.
eral. who the Majorcans say,
was not a roadbuilder but an
: artist" When the ancient bus
rolls dangerously close to the
edge of hairpin turn, one
wishes the general had been
more Of a roadbuilder.
On one side of the road are
the olive and fig groves capped
higher near the base of the
rocky mountains with young
pine trees. On the other side
is the sea. light blue near the
coast and deep blue farther
out. spotted with occasional
sails and foaming white against
the rugged coastline. On points
of land the stone towers built
by Majorcans in the past to
watch for sea marauders catch
the afternoon sun.
The bus wheezes to the top
Of a hill and below, nestled
among the mountains, is a
village. Tile-roofed houses
painted white. blue or red
cluster on the edge of a per-
feet bay. Weather beaten fish,
ing boats are tied directly in
front of the villages leading
cafes. A stone church domi-
mates the village from q slight
rise and its bells serve as wrist
watch and alarm clock to
fishermen and m ere hants
alike.
Fishermen and Sherry
Some Of the villages main
streets are spread with brown
fishing nets, drying in the
sun. Women sit outside their
bead-hung doors slowly and
