Congress Okoys
Transit Deal

After months of muddled ma
neuvers and negotiations, arrange
ments were near completion last
week for transfer of the Capital
Transit Co. franchise to new own
ers. At weeks end, a bill permit
ting the deal was on President Eli
Senhower's desk awaiting signature.
Final congressional action came
Friday afternoon with Senate APP
proval of the completed bill, which
had been voted the previous day
in the House.
The bill gives a 20-year trans
portation franchise to D. c. Transit
System, Inc, owned indirectly, but
almost completely, by o. Roy Chalk.
The ownership is indirect because
the new transit company is owned
by Tea Investing Corp, which is
owned by Trans Caribbean Always,
Inc, which, in turn, is controlled
by Mr.. Chalk and his wife, who
own IA per cent of the stock.
Under the deal, Mr.. Chalk will
pay $lo,04U,UUU 1Or all the assets
of Capital Transit and assume all
its liabilities, subject only to APP
proval by owners of two-thirds of
Capital Transit stock. CTC stock
holders will meet on August to
vote on these provisions. Rejec-
ton by the stockholders is regarded
as unlikely, but if a snag does de-
velop, the District Commissioners
can offer the same deal to any other
successful buyer.
The franchise requires that Mr..
Chalk get rid of street cars over
a Seven-year period and go into
an all-bus operation. Mr.. Chalk
says that he will start talking about
labor matters with the transit
union after the August 3 stock
holders meeting.

victory for the Eisenhower admin
istration's partnership" policy in
power development.
The vote left standing an admin
iStration plan to permit the Idaho
Power Company. a private utility
with controlling interests in Maine,
to proceed with three low dams on
the river. 1t also dimmeo hopes
Of full-scale development of the
turbulent streams and rugged val
leys that make up the Columbia
River basin. The $308 million Fed
eral dam, had it been approved,
would have been the second highest
in the world.
Democratic proponents had
claimed that the high dam would
produce nearly twice the power
that the three low dams together
would provide. They also pointed
to Government plans for recreation,
more flood control. easier naviga-
ton, and low-cost power for pro-
ducing cheap phosphate fertilizer,
possible they said, only under the
Democratic plan.
Republicans answered that they
were for free enterprise" and be-
sides, the private company's dams
would not be midgets-the lowest
of the three being twice as high
as Bonneville. The Republicans
also countered that the Federal dam
would be more costly and, even
tually, would not produce as much
power as the three private power
dams.
The fight for Hells Canyon, as
far as this Congress is concerned,
is over. But champions of the high
dam say they still have an inning
coming. The State of Oregon claims
that Idaho Power needs a State
license to proceed with its dams,
and there is a report that an Ore
gon indictment has been filed and
sealed against Idaho Power, charg-
ing that it has started construction
Of one dam without obtaining a
license. Slim hopes also are pinned
on an appeal, now pending in the
courts. from the Federal Power
Commission decision giving Idaho
Power the go-ahead on its dams.

Probably a major factor in the
State Departments action was the
unfavorable impression created in
the United States, and particularly
Congress. by President Nasser's
deal with the Reds last year, bar
tering Egyptian cotton for Czecho-
Slovakian arms. He had attempted
to buy arms in the United States;
he was assured he could, but that
the $27 million involved would have
to be paid in cash. The Egyptian
chief then consummated a deal
with the Communists whereby he
secured a much greater quantity

cotton commitment. 1t was this

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Grave P o|icy Decision

With the terse words, "it is not
feasible in present circumstances
to participate in the project" the
State Department Thursday wa
gered possibly immense stakes on
the outcome Of the deepening eco
nomic battle between East and
West. THE project" was Egypt's
proposed Aswan High Dam, a $l.8
billion. 18-year job. to which the
United States had earlier offered to
subscribe $50 million. To that
amount. in the original plan, Brit
ain would have added another $14
million, and the International Bank
for Reconstruction and Develop
ment would have lent 5000 million.
The State Department bluntly
withdrew from any participation
in the financing of the project. In
an official statement delivered to
Egyptian Ambassador to the United
States Ahmed HusSein by Secretary
OF State Dulles, the Department
ascribed the reversal to two basic
considerations:
. Egypt had not arrived at agree
mentS with other nations, particu-
larly Ethiopia and Sudan, provid-
ing for an equitable distribution of
the waters impounded by the dam.
. Egypt had not demonstrated to
satisfactory degree that the AS
wan project would receive the
necessary concentration of eco
nomic resources" sufficient to make
the financing practical. THE abil-
ity of Egypt to devote adequate re-
sources to assure the projects sue
cess has become more uncertain
than at the time the (original
United States) offer was made"
the statement said.
Major Policy Decision
The reversal signified a major
policy decision for the United States.
one fraught with an array of grave
possibilities. Most Immediately pos
sible, of course, and perhaps strong
ly probable, is that the, Soviet
Union, already on record as in
terested in taking part in the A.
nancing of the huge dam, will
promptly move in to clinch an i'm
mense propaganda victory in the
tense Middle East with a generous
offer to Egypt.
Dmitri Shepilov, new Soviet For
eign Minister. only three weeks ago
limited on the occasion of his Of
fetal visit to Cairo that Russia
would finance "all or any part" of
the Aswan project. The Soviet
Union had previously offered Egypt
aid in financing the dam in return
for long-term trade commitments
in cotton and rice. Russian tech
nical help in the dam building was
also preferred. and the prospect of
Soviet technicianS working with the
poverty-stricken Egyptian fellahin
appeared at the time to be distinctly
unattractive to the West. But times
have changed.
Victory for Stronger Line
The State Department action in
dicates that the advocates of a
stronger line toward neutralist
leaders of the Nasser type have
scored telling victory on policy.
President Canal Abdul Nasser,
Egypt's military strong man, has
at times appeared to be willing to
play both ends against the middle
in his maneuvers for Egyptian lead
erShip of the Arab world. He de-
layed many months in deciding
whether to accept the United
States-British offer of financing for
the Aswan dam.

Trouble with teen-agers?
Norman Shapiro, eX-infan-
tryman who fought through
the terrors of World War II,
came up with the answer this
summer. AS youth supervisor
for 'tweens' and teens at the
Tucson Jewish Community
Center, Mr.. Shapiro devised a
plan of 'self-rule'.
Instead of herding the
youngsters into rigidly set
programs, Mr.. Shapiro guided
them in setting up their own
programs. Stan Podolsky, II,
led the group of youngsters
in planning and executing the
most successful teen-age pro-
grams ever staged at the
Center.
TUESDAY NIGHT is Teen
Mite at the Center and some

ed off with folk singing led

by Ken Koenig, Hal Smotkin,

al entertainer, Gene La Beaur,
took up another big night.
The program was organized
by Gayle Goodman.
Then on July 3 a colorful

SCaIney hramer, VINO IN the past
has identified himself with many
Jewish causes, is the typical ex-
ample of self-made man start
ing in Hollywood without connec-
tons of any kind as a back-lot
laborer at Metro-G oldwyn-M Mayer.
The youthful producer, today a
veteran Of % years Of movie-malx-
ing, came to the West Coast at
the height of the depression-with
a Bachelor Of Science degree in his
pocket-to begin work in the film
capital literally with nothing but
his two hands.
Inspired by his love for the
cinema, he quickly shifted to the
MGM research department, then
to film editing and screen writing.
Selling an original story to Co
lumbia, he secured employment at
the studio as a contract writer.
Kramer's chance arrived in 1910
when David Loew, son Of movie
tycoon Markus Loew, selected
Erich Maria Remarque's novel
"Flotsam" mirroring the plight Of
Jewish refugees, and elevated the
ambitious young man to his per-
sonal assistant in the motion pic
ture production. The film entitled
so Ends Our Night" starred an
array of well-known players in
Producing in the key role of a fugi-
tive from Nazi oppression a new
screen personality-Glenn Ford.
Next, Stanley Kramer was as
sociate producer on the filniza-
ton of w. S. Maugham's "Moon
and Sixpence." During the war,
Kramer made orientation films for
the Army Signal Corps. Leaving
the service as a First Lieutenant,
he returned to Hollywood to set up
his own company, but his first
venture dated 1947, $50 This Is
New York." based on a Ring
Lardner yarn, was a complete
bust, in spite Of radio comedian
Henry Morgan's highly publicized
screen debut.
Kramer signed director Mark
Robson for a film, with unknowns
for the leads, such as Frank Love-
joy and Jeff Corey. The. film,
Home Of the Brave" released in
1949, was based on Arthur Lau-
rents stage play about anti-Semi-
tism. Kramer gave his filmization
a provocative novel twist by
changing the basis Of the theme
to the plight of the Negro CT,
