The Worst Transit Bill

Return of the franchise to the Capt.
tai Transit Company, under conditions
enabling 1t to continue in business after
next August IA, is preferable to public
ownership and operation. If there is no
alternative to establishing a Transit
Authority, however, the best and not the
worst form of authority should be chosen.
The version of transit authority pro-
posed as legislation by the Senate District
subcommittee is plainly the worst.
For this proposal, containing none Of
the virtues of an independent, self
supporting transit authority, invites all
the usual evils of public ownership. It
dumps the responsibility of operating,
and financing, transit system on the
same two Commissioners who, as MEM
berS of the Public Utilities Commission
and the Board of Commissioners, helped
design the present f1asco Even If they
were experienced transit operators, it is
difficult to understand how the Commits
sionerS could ever find the time to run
transit system and still meet their
responsibilities of running the munich
pality. Instead of iSolating a transit
authority from political and other pres
Sures, by making it an independent
agency of government, this Senate bill
exposes the Commissioners to new and
effective preSSures which could render
them practically incapable of conducting
an efficient transit operation, ne matter
how many millions of public funds, with
the local taxpayer holding the bag, our
liberal friends at the Capitol may make
available to them. The thought of pri-
vate investors coming to the rescue in a
few years and buying back what the
Government has already bought is fan
taStic moonShine.
If the Senate is intent on destroying
a private company, debt free and with
money in the bank, in order to give the
Commissioners an opportunity, at the
taxpayers expense, to operate a transit
company, perhaps there is nothing more
to say. But if the Senate is bent on
public ownership, there is better way to
undertake it. A really independent au-
thority should be created. It's members
should be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. It should fol-
low the lines tested by experience in other
cities that have come to adopt such a
system as a last resort. It should be the
best system that can be devised, and one
most likely to succeed at the least expense
TO the public. 1t should not be doomed,
at the outset, to inevitable failure by
making it another division of an already
complicated municipal bureaucracy.

Low Pressure Area

There are signs that the patience OF
the professional weather forecasters is
beginning to wear little bit thin. 1t
has long been the case, of course, that
too many people talked about the weather
usually blaming its unpleasant eccen-
tricities upon the frustrated forecasters
Even so, just talking about it may have
been lesser evil than trying to do some
thing about it. For example, DR.. F. W..
Reichelderfer, Chief of the United States
Weather Bureau, warned an audience OF
"cloud experts" recently that weather
control is not something to be played
around with" Warming up the Arctic
area, he cautioned, might raise the level
of the Atlantic Ocean by 10 to is feet
a disastrous prospect for the port install
lations of much of our seaboard. And he
is not so sure that man-made milder
winters in Maine or Montana would not
have unfortunate effects on rainfall in
some of the more temperate areas.
Meanwhile, up in New York City,
Weather Bureau Chief e. ]. Christie has
reached the point of appealing to his
public to learn how to live with the
weather and accommodate ourselves to

Tribute to Mr.. West

Inc community at large shares the
high esteem for Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West that the District Bar
Association expressed in paying tribute to
the veteran District government lawyer,
who will retire next August l. The asso-
citation cited Mr.. West for distinguished
and meritorious service" during As years
in District and Federal legal Offices. More
than quarter of a century of that service
has been in the District Corporation
CounSelS office. He has been head of the
office for the past decade, a period of
governmental growth and reorganization
that involved the handling of many COM
plicated legal problems. He has met
these problems with characteristic en-
ergy, intelligence and efficiency. The
forthcoming retirement of this able
public servant and native WaShingtonian
will be loss for the city that will be
Offset only by the knowledge that he has
earned a chance to relax.

its outbursts." Mr. Christie has been
having lot of trouble with the weather
around New York. He forecast another
weekend Of rain and snow, but when he
looked out Of his window on the critical
morning he found it unbelievable but
true that the sky is bright and blue"
Probably nobody suffers more from
the weather and its free-wheeling habits
than DR.. Reichelderfer and Mr.. Christie.
If they are willing to take it as it comes,
perhaps it would be best for all to do
likewise.

good. puts us in q receptive
mood to receive the pitch.
So why can't the adman
make his point, clearly and
concisely once or twice, and
then quit? The salesman who
succeeds is the one who creates
goodwill and makes friends for
his product. But usually the
TV or radio pitchman destroys
all the friendliness built UP by
the entertainers, and after the
eighth or tenth repetition the
exasperated listener VOWS never
to buy that product.
I suggest that the Madison
Avenue boys get some books on
psychology, and send out scouts
to measure public tolerance
and sample public opinion
about present TV and radio
advertising practices. They'd
be surprised. They might also
discover that many Of us are
more than IL years old men

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

cold weather. especially when
snow and ice coat the bushes,
and particularly because of the
ice, which prevents them from
getting at the food they so
plainly see.
Subjected to this incessant
demand, the birds keep wary
eyes open. and though they
may not actually see the food.
they know from long expert
ence that where there is so
much smoke there must be
some fire.
They know, in plain words,
where several birds art to be
seen together, especially in
wintertime, there must be
some reason for it. and that
the best of all reasons, from
a birds viewpoint. is the pres
ence of something to eat.
"A wise old bird" is a saying
coined out of universal expert
ence. 1t may be that birds have
some esoteric way of finding
food. but their very best bet is
the old eye. an ever-present
help in time of trouble-and
hunger.
X
From Alexandria, also, r. S.
writes:
ut was ! who called you
yesterday about the new birds
at our feeding station, and
which, from my description.
you identified as purple finches.
They soon lost their initial
shyness and by now were eat
ing with the rest of the more
common folk.
They also made use Of our
bird baths; these are nothing
more than 10-inch clay flower
pot saucers which are inexpen-
sive and readily available.
when cold temperatures
overnight are indicated, sim
ply bring the saucers in, and
put them out again early in
the morning with warmed
water. They don't accommo-
date as many birds at one
splashing as the regular basins,
but the purpose is unimpeded.
This morning the finches
were back again, and the two
members of the family who
didn't see them yesterday we're
glad to get UP a bit earlier and
share this (for u.s. exciting
experience.
Incidentally, we have a cat.
and shall always have one, we
hope. She has caught a few
birds, and we have always re-
GREETED 1t when she does, but
we have a neighbor who used
to brag over the number OF
cats their dogs used to polish
of. We informed them that II
cur pet met such an end, their
dog would likewise, and the
situation has been peaceful
ever since.
II sincerely believe that bold
measures are sometimes neces-
sary, and that everyone bene-
fits IL they want to badly
enough.
