Administration
Wins Farm Test
|nSenate,, 54-41
Rigid Props Lose,
But WrongIe Over
Corn Is Expected
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

The Senate pushed ahead on
the new farm bill today after
chalking up a resounding victory
for the Eisenhower administra-
ton on a key controversy-price
support scales.
There were still plenty OF
fighting areas left in the legis-
Ilation however. When the Sen
ate started to work at 10 am
after late night session, a
king-size wrangle was in prog
Iress over proposal to give corr
growers more liberal treatment
that Senator Humphrey. Demo-
Icrat. Minnesota. blasted as ali
administration device to buy
the election.
Nor had high-support hackers
played their last card. While
rigid supports for basic COM
modities went out of the new
bill under a 54-4l vote late yes
terday, there were other sections
awaiting action that would mean
more money for Farm Belt
pocketbooks if approved.
Result Tops Expectations
While it generally had been
conceded that the administra-
ton forces were strong enough
to turn back a move to restore
the high rigid supports fol
basic crops that were supplanted
by a down-graded flexible scale
in the G. o. P.-backed farm pro-
gram enacted in 1854, the VIC
tory was of greater proportions
than had been expected.
A coalition of Is Democrats
and Al Republicans teamed ur
to turn the tide against Ehat

plan, while but six farm belt Re-
publicans joined IS Democrats

Two Republicans. Senators

Drive Pressed
To Keep Private
Transit Setup
District Officials
Urged to Reverse
Bon on Kompelmun
By HECTOR MCLEAN

A strong congressional drive
developed today to halt plans
for public ownership of transit
in Washington and to keep the
system in private operation.
The District Commissioners
and the Public Utilities Com
mission were under heavy pres
ure to reverse their turn-down
of bid by Max M. Kampelman
to take over the franchise of
Capital Transit Co., which is
scheduled to go out of business
on August IA.
Ordered to return with more
information on the transit crisis,
the city. officials faced another
closed-door session with the
Transportation Subcommittee of
the House Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee, fol-
lowing a 3l2-hour siege yester-
day.
Originally, the meeting was
scheduled for this afternoon.
Today. however, it was post
poned until early next week.
Preparing for it. the city Off
Gals met this morning for more
than an hour at the District
Building. Afterward. Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer said. I'VE
haven't reached any conclu-
sions yet" when asked if the
city officials had changed their
position in turning down Mr.
Kampelman's bid for a 81 mil
lion loan guarantee. He refused
to elaborate.
Formal Denial Stayed
The first result of the pres
sure was that the Utilities Com
mission dropped its plans for is
suance today of an order for
mally expressing last weeks de-
cision to deny the Kampelman
application.
Mr.. Kampelman is attorney
for a group of Minneapolis in
vestors ready to put 81 million
in a new $26 million bus COM
pany, which they would control
and operate. They are backed
locally by leaders of the Wash
ington Board of Trade.
Their application was turned
down when the District Com
missioners with Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin not vot-
ing refused to indorse Mr..
Kampelman's request for a 81
million Government loan guar
antee to backstop his financing
plans,
Yesterday, however, Mr.. KAN
pelman took his case to Con-
gress. At a subcommittee hear
ing, he offered to do without
the 81 million loan guarantee
if Congress would grant his
newly organized District Transit
Co. a conditioned franchise to
be surrendered if his financing
had not been completed by
July /.
S. Million Needed
At the same time, he sug-
gested, Congress would have to
keep on developing legislation
for the Washington Metropolitan
Transit Authority proposed by
the Commissioners. so it could
take over if the financing plans
of his group should fail.
These plans were outlined at
