Solution Seems
Near on Transit

Washington tangled transit
mess looked lot less complicated
after a series of breaking de-
velopments last week.
AS the week opened. the Dis
trict Commissioners had Just
backed off from a recommendation
that Congress set up a publicly
owned authority to take over the
streetcar and bus system when
Capital Transit Co. dies next Au-
gust IA.
Instead, they had announced that
one potential purchaser of etc,
the 11-man group of Washington
businessmen headed by Harry A.
Mcdonald, had presented accept
able franchise terms.
On Monday, a group headed by
o. Roy Chalk, wealthy New York
real estate owner and president of
Trans Caribbean Always. Inc. and
Morris Fox, president of B. & F.
Transportation Co., local truck
ing firm, got in line and accepted
virtually the same terms.
Since they had their financing
all arranged-through the Chase
Manhattan Bank of New York City
and had a 100000 deposit on
the line with etc. while the Nc
Donald group had no money in
sight yet, the Commissioners sent
a positive recommendation to Con-
gress Tuesday in favor of the Chalk
Fox group.
National City Rejected
Wednesday House and Senate
conferees met seeking way out
of the transit mess. They agreed
they would not accept the franchise
terms proposed by National City
Lines, Inc, of Chicago, Nation
wide transit holding company which
had a signed contract to buy out
CTC for $13,440,000.
On Thursday CTC's Board of Di-
rectors decided the NCL contract
was valid and binding and that
they would stuck by it. National
City representatives handling the
deal here went home to Chicago to
decide whether to meet the APP
proved franchise terms.
That same afternoon dark
horse-Samuel J. Solomon, presi-
dent of California Eastern Avia-
ton, disclosed to the Com
missioners that he had put up a
S250,000 deposit of his own last
Monday to get into the race for

the higher down payment of $96
million offered by Mr.. Chalk. He
offered to take almost any terms
desired by the Commissioners.
The showdown came Friday In
late afternoon National City Lines

in meeting the franchise criteria
and was dropping out
The CTC Board of Directors met
that day at pm. in a f1ve-hour
session which wound up with agree
ment to sell to Mr. Chalk and Mr.

boost over what had been the
standard price.
The board decided against Mr..
Solomon after several hours Of
dramatic uncertainty when he was
unable to get the recommendation
of the Commissioners. The city
