On D. Transit
Spencer Stresses
Need for Speed on
Public Authority
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Congress today was asked to
"act promptly to pass legisla-
ton setting up a publicly owned
transit authority for Washing
ton.
President Samuel Spencer of
the District Board of Commits
sioners, in identical letters to the
chairman OF the House and
Senate District Committees, said
"time is of the essence" since
the franchise of Capital Transit
will die by act of Congress next
August IA.
1T is a matter of highest I'M
portance that the Congress act
promptly to organize this au-
thority so that it may take early
steps to meet its operating OBJ
legations, which will begin on
August Is 1856"
Mr.. Spencer promised to sub
NIT at the earliest practicable
date proposed legislation to
establish a public authority to
operate mass transit in the
District of Columbia and con-
tiguous areas"
Hayes Also Writer
Similar letters were sent to
both committee chairmen by
George E. c. Hayes. chairman
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion. They. too. urged passage
Of legislation for the establish
ment of a public transit authority
in the District of Columbia.
Key members of the Senate
District Committee indicated
they were prepared to tackle the
problem at an early date.
They said. however. they
wanted to study the reports of
the Commissioners and the Util-
tiles Commission members first
before hearings are scheduled.
Also. hearings will await the
submission by District officials
OF the transit authority legisla-
ton.
Chairman Nicely indicated he
was in agreement with District
officials that the situation called
for the prompt attention of the
congressional committees. Sol
did Senator Mcnamara, Demo-
crat of Michigan. who heads the
welfare subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee. and
Senator Morse. Democrat of
Oregon. The latter was one of
the leaders in the move in the
past session to order revocation
next August of the franchise and
charter of the Capital Tran
sit Co.
Reviews p. U. c. Efforts
In a f1ve-page letter, Mr.. Spen-
Ger reviewed the unsuccessful
efforts of the Public Utilities
Commission to find a private OPP
orator to set up an all-bus COM
pany to take over the Capital
Transit franchise.
Describing the planning for a
public authority. he said the
Commissioners have patterned
their thinking on the similar
authorities in Chicago and Cleve-
land where efficient mass tram
sit service is rendered by pub
lie authorities.
He related that Walter c.
Cleave. of Chicago. a vice-pres-
ident OF Blyth and Co. Inc, a
Nationwide firm of investment
bankers. is drafting suitable
legislation"
Cites Guide Decision
Mr.. Spencer spelled out four
preliminary decisions" given Mr..
Cleave by the Board of Commits
sioners "as a guide" They we're:
Il. The authority should be
an independent body organized
pursuant to congressional legis-
lation and governed by an ap-
pointed Board of Commissioners
30. The authority should be
financed through the sale of it's
own revenue bonds without
pledging the credit of the United

Urged as New
Airport Site
Burke, w., Second
Choice of Commerce
Department

The Commerce Department
today recommended the use of
Andrews Air Force Base as the
most desirable site for a second
commercial airport" to serve the
Washington area.
1t said the best alternative to
Andrews would be construction
of an airport at Burke, Va.
AS third choice. it suggested
Friendship Airport near Balti-
more. but as a temporary al

The Commerce Department.
recommendations were contained
in a report sent to Chairman
Magnuson Of the Senate Com
merce Committee. This was in
response to a committee state
ment last summer calling for a
plan of action for a second air
port by the Department.
Use of Andrews Air Force
Base has been frequently pro-
posed. once by Representative
Broyhill. Republican of Virginia,
in 1854. He suggested a full
conversion to civil use. The Air
Force at that time, however.
said that to build another air
force base elsewhere to replace
Andrews would cost three to
four times the money needed for
a new commercial field.
Finance Plan Suggested
With the report recommending
the airport choices the depart
ment also sent to the committee
a report on the financing Of the
development.
This recommended an author
ity to operate and develop the
airport here. The financing
would be on the basis Of the
combined revenues Of the pres
ent National Airport and the
new supplementary one.
Discussing the proposed use of
Andrews for commercial flights,
the Commerce Department said:
The cost Of necessary modifi-
cation and development would
be less than that for the de-
velopment Of a new airport in
any other acceptable location.
A limiting factor In one respect,
OF course, is its current use by
the Air Force.
Joint use might be limiting
to a degree to both the civil and
the military, but would be
feasible for many years to come,
that Is. approximately 1880. On
the other hand, a better opera
ton from an air traffic control
standpoint may be had with two
airports in the Washington area
than with three"

up to 10 years for economic
projects in under developed
countries. The President pro-
posed a limit of 500 million a
year on the amount to be spent
on such long term projects.
Representative Richards, Dem
ocrat Of South Carolina, chair
man of the House committee,
is understood still to be of the
opinion he expressed two months
ago, that Congress should merely
declare its intention of contin-
uing an economic aid program
as long as the threat of Com
munist expansion makes it neces-
sary, but without authorizing
specific commitments in advance.
Consider Study of Program
Mr.. Richards made no predic-
ton as to the overall amount of
foreign aid the committee would
approve.
Both the administration and
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee recently have been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
setting up a commission from
private walks of life to review
the foreign aid program and re-
port to Congress next year what
its future course should be.
Mr.. Richards said his infor-
nation is the administration has
not come to conclusion as to
the character and makeup of
the commission. He added that,
Having seen a great many such
commissions operate, I am skep-
tical of the results"
The House chairman said he
was reminded of the words of
"a wise old farmer who once
described study commissions as
"a group of uniformed. appoint
ed by the unwilling to do the
unnecessary"

as the Democrats chief foreign
policy spokesman in Congress.
An hour-long conference in
the White House living quarters

Senator George discussed the
Presidents letter of May 9 in
which the President expressed
his desire to appoint Senator
George as his personal repre-
sentative and special ambassa-
dor to deal in the first instance
with the pending proposal Of
the NATO ministers that ways

Senator George stated that
he would be glad to accept this
responsibility and contribute his
own thinking and the benefit of
his experience to the develop

future peace.
"Sentor George stated that he

Marine requisitioned by the Government.
In an address while ago before the Seattle

weakness which has been retarding our mer.

it in days to come. Our people must be shown,
