any time ana start trying TO ma
their way out of what appears to
be a deadlock.
The Senate passed a bill to set
up a publicly -owned Washington
Metropolitan Transit Authority
to take over mass transportation
here when the franchise Of Capt.
tai Transit Co. dies at midnight
August IA.
Oppose Wolfs0n's Rule
Most of the five Senate con-
fereeS-Senators Mcnamara Of
Michigan, Morse of Oregon and
Bible of Nevada, Democrats. and
Case of New Jersey and Beall Of
Maryland. Republicans are
clearly on record in favor Of see
ing etc go out Of business.
Most of them, at least. pre-
sumably would insist at least on
removal of the influence of Louis
E. Wolfson, Florida multimillion-
aire and CTC's controlling stock
holder.
The House, however, passed a
bill to restore the CTC franchise
and keep the company in busi-
ness under better conditions than
before It's measure. designed to
grant tax concessions and clear
up regulatory difficulties which
beset the company, was negoti-
ated with CTC management.
The CTC board of directors
has agreed to recommend to the
stockholders that the company
stay in business under the terms
of the revised franchise.
House to Pick COnferees
House conferees are expected
to be named from the ranking
members of the subcommittee
of the House Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee which
worked out the bill.
Chairman of the group is
Representative Harris, Democrat
of Arkansas. The two other top
Democrats are Representatives
Williams Of Mississippi and Mack
of Illinois.
The two ranking Republicans
are Wolverton of New Jersey,
chairman of the full committee
during Republican control Of the
83d Congress. and Hinshaw Of
California.
All have unanimously sup
ported the restoration bill as the
only possible way to assure un-
terrupted continuation of
transit service after August IA.
All have contended that an au-
thority could not be set up and
put into operation by that time,

Mcmillan Calls
Public Hearing
On Gas Station

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee is 60
ing to try again for the enact
ment of legislation that would
permit the American Oil Co. to
rebuild it's present non-con-
forming filling station near the
intersection of Wisconsin and
Massachusetts, avenues NV.
He has scheduled a public
hearing before the full House
District Committee for Wednes-
day at 10 am. Both propo-
nents and opposition witnesses
are to be heard.
In recent years the issue has
been fought through the halls
Iof Congress. and once Mr.. Nc
MILAN, a South Carolina Dem
ocrat. won approval of Congress
for the rezoning of this gas sta
ton and another non-conform-
ing commercial spot on Six
tenth street NV. near Taylor
street. but the bill was vetoed
by President Eisenhower.
The Judiciary Subcommittee
of the House District Commit
tee has approved the revived
Mcmillan bill but did so without
holding hearings - apparently
because it considered that the
issues involved had been de-
veloped in hearings on the
earlier measure.
Tells Of Requests
Chairman Mcmillan said he
did not want to operate on that
basis, that he did not want to
take the bill again before the
House without having full hear
IingS at which any witness could
Iexpress his full opinion. He said
he scheduled the Wednesday
hearing because he had received
requests from a half-dozen per-
sons.
Asked why he was persisting
lin the nOve for legislation that
has stirred up controversy.
Chairman Mcmillan said: 1.-THE
only interest that l have is that
this non-conforming station is
such a black spot on the beauty
Iof the city that something ought
to be done. I believe that the
oil company should be allowed to
replace this conforming sta
Ition with a new one having ar
Ichitectural merit or else that the
Government should buy the
property for some public pur-
pose"
Called SenselesS
Mr.. Mcmillan commended that
lit did not make sense to allow
the old building to stay there
year after year and to refuse to
allow the owner to rebuild it.
AT present, he said. it sticks
out like a sore thumb" and that
Congress should permit its re-
placement or else buy it. Other
wise. he said.. "it probably will
stay there forever"
A number of witnesses have
been listed to testify in favor
of the Mcmillan position. These
include James K. Eagan, a law
yer for the American Oil Co. of
New York; George Glazier of
the same company; Jerome Nc
Kee, $500 New Hampshire ave-
nue. NV; Edward Costigan. in
the road building business;
Meyer Reditz of Alban Towers;
Dr. and Mrs. Charles Lally of
$500 Cathedral avenue NV.
and William Russell, an employee
lof the Washington Cathedral.
There will be plenty of opposi-
ton, it was indicated.

Glider Pilot
Comes Down AT
Airport Sun.

Ottawa county and Richard E.
Schroeder, 40, Toledo glider enthu-
siast, seem to have an affinity for
each other.
June "a Mr.. Schreder's glider,
air-borne by unexpected currents
of the storm, came down in field
near Oak Harbor after 10000
feet journey.
Last Sunday he took off at Bowl
ing Green, where the Midwest
Glider Soaring contest attracted 81
pilots from six states, expecting to
try for Erie, Pa. Gut he missed the
right wind currents. and came
down appropriately enough -
at the Port Clinton airport.
His motorless plane didn't make
the runway but landed at the air
port parking space, only a few feet
from the office. A Cessna from
Bowling Green came here to tow
him airbOrn again.

Farm Bureau Poll
Favors Proposed
Ditch Drainage Bill

The Farm Bureau Poll of Opinion
taken at public meetings held in
Wood and Ottawa counties during
the last week of June seem to in
dicate that farmers, favor the pro-
posed ditch drainage bill which
has been drafted by committee
of county engineers and commits
sioners for Rep. Walter Gardner
of the Ohio Legislative Service
Commission.
One of the main features of the
bill calls for the establishment of
a maintenance fund which will
help to maintain bitches much as
roads are today.
At the meeting in Oak Harbor,
$50 favored the proposal while,
in Wood County the vote climbed
to 74To in favor. Both polls, to-
gether, showed that SIS farmers had
voted for the maintenance fund
proposal while 80 voted against it.
The only feature of the proposed
ditch drainage bill which was voted
down by the farmers was the pro-
vision that County engineers)
may provide for the establishment
of sod or seeded strip at least
10 feet wide, measured at right
angles to the top of the ditch bank,
on both sides of the ditch, such
sod strip to be considered part
of the permanent improvement.
$50 of the farmers voting in Ot-
tawa County turned this provision
Of the bill down.

is slated to be voted upon in the
