Idea Noted
1 Mr.. Franklin was unfamiliar
with the District area mass tran
sit survey now in progress. In
connection with that survey the
hope had been expressed that
whatever organization operates
THE Districts transit system after
August IA should be strong
enough to become the nucleus
of integrated transit facilities fol
the whole area.
Mr.. Franklin said there has
been no discussion of this in his
group. There is no intention OF
trying to absorb other bus lines
he said. adding that the pos
sibility is not precluded.
| He said that whereas the re-
port of the w. r. Gilman g. Co

would be practical to replace
the trolleys with buses in seven
years, I'VE could do that more
quickly if we could get rid OF

Earlier today, Mr.. Seaton met
briefly with members of the
House Interior Committee. He
was asked no questions on speci-
nc policies during the l0-minute
session, but assured the commit
tee he would seek ito carry out
laws which the Congress had
passed" and the policies "enun-
ciated by the President"
His nomination was approved
unanimously by the Senate In
terror Committee yesterday.
AT his press conference about
an hour before Mr.. Seaton was
confirmed. President Eisenhower
was asked about the appoint
ment of Mr.. Seaton rather than
of Under Secretary Clarence A.
Davis to succeed Mr.. Mckay. He
said his choice should in no way
be interpreted as reputation
OF Mr.. McKay's policies. The
appointment, the President ex-
planned, was in line with his own
policy Of picking the best quail
