Transit Service
Sought
Chalk Deal Okoyed
With Slight Changes
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

House-Senate transit con-
ferees meet again today. seeking
some guarantee that bus and
streetcar service will continue
when Capital Transit Co. S
franchise dies on August IA.
Yesterday, they tentatively
approved the franchise terms
under which o. Roy Chalk
would operate his D. c. Transit
System, Inc, if his deal to buy
out CTC goes through. accord
ing to Representative Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, leader
of the House conferees.
Mr.. Harris said the conferees
have made some Slight modi-
fications" to clarity the franchise
terms proposed by the District
Commissioners and accepted by
Mr.. Chalk.
Consider Authority
Now, he added, they are just
coming to grips" with the ques-
ton of whether to set up a pub
llcly -oWned transit authority tc
take over CTC and handle the
sale to another private opera
tor.
The Senate has passed a bill
to set up such an authority and
the Commissioners have urged
that it be enacted on a standby
basis to take over if the Chalk
deal falls through. Mr.. Harris
and Representative Hinshaw
Republican of California, said
there is no support in the House
delegation for the authority idea
Another question facing the
confereeS today, Mr.. Harris said
is how to cope with the situation
that would exist if CTC stock
holders turned down the Chalk
deal at a special August 3 meet
ing. The deal must be approved
by holders of two-thirds of the
stock.
The conferees, he said, still,
were undecided yesterday or
whether to authorize the Com
misSioners to issue a similar
franchise to some other buyer Of
etc.
Permit Plan Weighed
In addition, Mr.. Harris said
the conferees are trying to decide
whether to accept the Commits.
sioners' recommendation thai
they be empowered to issue up tC
three monthly permits for etc
to continue operating if neces.
sary to provide more time t
work out details of the purchase
They have oral assurance,
from CTC, he said, that the com.
pany would accept such permits
but only for the purpose of com.
pleting the transaction.
If the purchase can be con.
sumated by August Is. Mr.. Harri,
said, there is no problem. If il
cannot be completed by then
the question continues, he added
\ One other problem beinl
worked out is providing power
for the Government to revoke
the franchise. Senator Morse
Democrat Of oregon, repeatedly
urged that the new franchise
carry the same language as thai
under which Congress last veal
revoked the etc franchise. Mr.
Chalk and his lawyers objected
but offered to supply a salts.

Trevor Gardner, former Air
Force Research and Develop
ment chief said today that more
than a million Federal employees
and military officers had the au-
thority to classify documents.
He suggested that the number
should be trimmed to not more
than 100 persons.
Testifying before the House
Government Information sub
committee, Mr.. Gardner said
that at least one-half of all Gov
eminent papers now bearing
confidential, secret and top Sc
cret Stampings. could easily be
declassified.
Mr.. Gardner, a scientist now
in private business, resigned re-
Gently as assistant air force Sec
rotary in a dispute over research
and development funds.
Had Order Reversed
Recalling some of his own
Government experience, he said
that he once received a cancel
lation order of an Air Force
project which was stamped top
secret.
If he had carried out the order
he would have violated security,
Mr.. Gardner said, because there
were several thousand people in
volved and they would all have
known about it,"
He said that instead he went
back to the originating Office and
got the cancellation reversed. He
suggested that the reason the
order was classified was that
the officer who made the decision
did not want to be publicly iden-
titled with it.
The Governments classified
ton system, the witness said, is
not the fault of anyone because
1t has grown up over a period
OF years. He did not think
that Congress was especially
equipped" to specify limitations
on classification but that some
sort OF new criteria should BIZ
set forth.
Speaking of clearances fol
scientists, Mr.. Gardner pointed
out that it was possible for one
agency to clear person while
another refused to do so.

President Eisenhower will go
to the San Francisco conven-

The chairman also brushed
aside the possibilities of the

against the President with any
degree of success, declaring that
issue already has been met by
the candor and frankness of the
President" in dealing with his

Eisenhower and Nixon"
The question of the Nixon can

: colloquy when Chairman Hall
met newsmen at downtown press

Mr.. Hail just about summed
up all his answers with this terse
: statement: Il think it's Eisen-

He also said the President to-
day reaffirmed his desire to have

Judge Rules
School Board
Can Be Sued
Major Point Lost
By Virginia in
Segregation Case

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
II (R.-Federal Judge John
Paul today threw out Virginias
contention that the Charlottes-
vile School Board, as an agency
of the State. could not be sued
in a Federal court.
This defense is without
merit" Judge Paul told former
Gov. John S. Battle, who made
lengthy plea on what was a
major point of the school boards
defense against the action seek
ing desegregation in Charlottes-
vile city schools. The same issue
has been raised in a pending case
against Arlington County.
Mr.. Battles move to have the
suit dismissed on the ground of
lack of jurisdiction was the sec
ond move lost by the State and
the city as the hearing opened
on what may be the last major
push to bring about start on
desegregation in Virginia schools
next fall.
A few minutes earlier. Attor-
ney General j. Lindsay Almond,
jr.. moved to dismiss Charlottes-
ville's School Supt. F. R. Ellis as
a party to the suit.
Another Motion Denied
He argued that Mr.. Ellis, an
administrative officer answerable
to the School Board. had no real
authority in the conduct of the
school operations and, in addi-
ton, was not necessary party
in the action.
Judge Paul quickly denied this
and observed that it was general
knowledge that the real head of
schools in any community is the
school superintendent"
Mr.. Battle argued that the
Eleventh Amendment to the
United States Constitution limit
ing the powers of Federal Courts
to take jurisdiction in certain
State cases covered the present
action. He conceded that Vir-
ginia has statute setting up
School Boards as corporate
bodies with the right to sue and
be sued, but said this referred
only to State courts.
Judge Paul noted in this con-
nection that he was aware of a
move by some members of the
Virginia General Assembly to
have this statute repealed as a
way out of the desegregation
dilemma.
Original Case Recalled
Mr.. Battle argued, too, that
the suit against the school board
and the superintendent amount
ed to suit against a depart
ment of the State government
and therefore the State itself.
But Judge Paul inquired if the
original case in the United States
Supreme Court was not against
county school board. Prince
Edward County, Va
Mr.. Battle granted that this
was correct and noted that a
State might be sued in the Su-
preme Court. Judge Paul said
however, he was forced to at
tach some meaning to the Vir-
GINA code language setting UP
the school boards as corporate
bodies with the right of suit.
SpottSwood Robinson III, OF
counsel for the National ASSo-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, said the MACE
action was IN no sense a suit
against the State of Virginia.
If this motion is granted,
he said, I'VE wouldn't be able tt
sue anywhere and by re.
pealing the right to sue statute
they could avoid suit entirely

mittee, warned that any action
which fell substantially below
the House-Senate authorization
of 81 billion would be interpreted
by the rest of the world as an in
dication that Congress thinks
the Communist danger has past.
1T would be a disaster if we
were now to sit back and assume
that victory had been won"
Secretary Dulles was said to
have told the committee.
Cites Strong Policies
Mr.. Dulles said our strong de-
fensive policies had denied VIC
tories to the Soviet Union and
had produced internal problems
for the Communist leaders, but
whether We were now to capital
ize on this situation depends on
our remaining steadfast.
Secretary Dulles also urged the
Senate Committee to leave to
the President the decision wheth-
er to continue aid to Yugoslavia,
as provided in the authorization
bill passed by both Houses.
Mr.. Dulles said the House
Slashes were SO large that every
area receiving United States aid
would be seriously affected.
Both Mr.. Dulles and Admiral
Radford said as they went into
the closed session that they
would ask for the full $4.01 bill
lion authorized by the House
and Senate. The House yester-
day approved only $3.4 billion.

his assistant secretary for con-
gressional liaison, William Hill.

tee later today to plead for the
