London Times Sees
Iruq as StubiIizer

LONDON, April IA GP).-The
Times today described Egypt's
Premier Canal Abdel Nasser as
an instrument of Soviet policy
and urged a British Mid-East
program based on about sup
port for the Iraqi government of
Premier Nuri Said.
The London newspaper said
the attempt to stabilize the
Middle East in cooperation with
Egypt is over and Egypt has
shown no desire to help.
The Times said Iraq and the
neighboring Persian Gulf states
have almost all the oil Britain
wants.
TO hesitate in supporting her
would be foolish" the paper de-

Higher Water
Rates Studied

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission today Ii
studying a proposal to increase
water rates to suburban Mary
land users, but decrease the
commissions share of the real
estate tax.
The net effect on the average
consumer would be no increase
in his total bill and If anything,
slight decrease, a commission
spokesman emphasized.
The proposal to boost water
rates and lower ad valorem taxes
came to light yesterday as the
commission instructed key staff
members to study means Of get
ting Federal and State agencies
to pay a greater share of the
cost of supplying water and
sewer services to its estimated
100000 users.
Federal and State agencies are
now exempt by law from paying
the ad valorem and front foot
benefit taxes levied by the san
itary commission. However, they
pay the same water and sewer
rates as other users.
In order to make up for the
loss Of revenue from this exemp-
ton of ad valorem and front foot
benefit taxes, James j. Lynch,
sanitary commission treasurer,
proposed increasing the water
rates and decreasing the ad
Ivalorem tax.

Showdown on Transit

On its face it does not sound eco
nomically feasible to scrap an operating,
debt-free transit system with equipment
on the streets and cash in the till. in
favor of a brand-new all-bus system
which will cost more borrowed money to
set up than the fair value of the existing
property.
But we fully agree with Chairman
HAYES of the Public Utilities Commission
that the latest group of private citizens
to advocate that undertaking, and who
apparently have available or in sight the
REQUIRED cash to get started. deserve every
opportunity to state their case. The pub
lie hearing before the p U, c. tomorrow
will provide that opportunity.
Some of those behind the newly in
corporated District Transit Company who
will be heard tomorrow are actuated by
the firm conviction that they can set up
a profitable all-bus system, and make
some money. Some of them, including
Edward r. Carr, president of the Board
of Trade, have interested themselves as
a matter of civic responsibility and I'M
derStandable reluctance to see the bust
ness of mass transit in Washington pass
from private enterprise into public
ownership. Such motives are legitimate
and even praiseworthy.
@ The P. u C's responsibility is, of
course, to examine the merits of the
claims as to availability of investment
capital, rolling, stock and other equip
ment It's responsibility, however, ex-
tends beyond those considerations. In
the tangled mess that confronts the
p U. C. as to availability of mass transit,
it is the public interest, not the financial
interest OF investors, that is at stake. If
private enterprise can serve that interest
better than public ownership and opera
ton, through a Transit Authority, the
decision is plain. If there is substantial
doubt, however, the Transit Authority
principle is the safer gamble. Whatever
the decision, based on facts produced to-
morrow, we trust that the P. U. C.'s
thinking will not be confused by such
entangling emotions as vindictiveness
against Wolfson, or who might get whoro
OF the hook.

Overdue Memorial

The move in Congress to honor Cen
eral of the Armies John ]. Pershing with
a permanent national memorial is long
overdue Although Americas World War
I commander has been dead for nearly
eight years, the Nation has taken no
formal steps to commemorate his place in
history. Ironically, the revered leader OF
the American Expeditionary Forces spent
most of his postwar years seeing to it
that his fellow soldiers who gave their
lives in France for their country were
suitably honored. He supervised this
solemn task as head Of the American
Battle Monuments Commission.
1t is appropriate, therefore, that this
commission should be given the privilege
of planning national memorial to Gen
eral Pershing. The commission would be
authorized to assume this responsibility
under resolution introduced by Senator
Potter of Michigan and approved unani-
mously by the Senate Rules Committee
The proposal deserves-and no doubt will
acknowledgement public support.
