Final House Action
Set on Restoration
OfCTC Franchise
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

The House today aimed for
final action on a bill to restore
the dying franchise of Capital
Transit Co.. with the measures
supporters apparently confident
it would pass easily.
Thirty-six minutes of debate
remained on the bill, after nearly
212 hours of discussion yester-
day.
The restoration bills support
ers insisted the measure is the
only way to assume mass trans
portation service for Washing
ton after next August IA. The
etc franchise is to die then
under a law passed by Congress
last summer during the city's
52-day transit strike.
Reversal Fought
Opponents insisted Congress
would make itself a laughing
stock" by reversing it's stand and
would be rewarding with tax
concessions a management not
fit to hold public utility fran
chiSe.
They pledged a fight to send
the bill back to the House In
terstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee with orders to report
on a newly-disclosed proposal to
buy out Louis E. Wolfson, Florida
multimillionaire and controlling
stakeholder.
The plan was outlined Tues
day by Daniel w. Bell, president
of the American Security &
Trust Co. Under it, Capital
Transit would float a IS or Sc
million bond issue on its real
estate, underwritten by Alex,
Brown g. Sons, and use the pro-
ceeds to buy out the Wolfson
interests and any other stock
holders who desired to sell.
Representative Harris. Demo-
crat of Arkansas and chairman

tiated the proposed new fran
chise with etc management.
opposed the plan to send the bill
back to committee.
Points to Time
He said the revised franchise
must be enacted to let Mr.. Bells
proposition develop. Later, he
added that such a move would
involve from four to six weeks Of
work and leave inadequate time
to complete the legislation be-
fore adjournment of Congress.
Much of the debate centered
on Mr.. Wolfson, his profits from
etc since he purchased control
in 1949 and his management.

Policy Declaration
Offered in Place of
l0-Yeur Commitment
BY J. A. O'LEARY

The House Foreign Affairs
Committee today turned down
President Eisenhower's request
for authority to make long-term
commitments on economic aid
projects in underdeveloped parts
of the world.
The committee also reduced by
500 million the amount the ad-
ministration had expected to get
for Asian economic development.
When the committee recessed
at noon. it had not yet acted on
the main issue OF military aid,
which accounts for So billion out
Of the total of SAT billion Of new
spending authority requested by
the President.
81 Billion Cut Seen
There have been reports from
reliable sources that the COM
mittee will cut about 81 billion
from the total. mostly in the
military figure.
Chairman Richards, Democrat
OF South Carolina, announced
that instead of empowering the
President to make 10-year COM
mitments on economic aid, the
committee adopted a declara-
ton of policy, which he offered.
This declaration recites the
intention of Congress to continue
Ia foreign aid program as long
as the peace and security Of the
United States make it advisable.
The difference is that, while
the President planned to allo-
cate 500 million a year to these
10-year projects, the declaration
OF policy merely states that the
program will be continued ''in
such amounts as the United
States is able to provide COM
patable with its own stability,
strength and other obligations,
and as may be needed and effec-
lively used by such free nations
to help them maintain their
freedom"
Combined Into One Fund
The other important step
taken today not only cut the
amount for development assist
ance in Asia, but combined into
one fund this type of aid both
for Asia and the Middle East.
Congress last year authorized
5000 million for the Asian fund,
but appropriated only 500 mil
lion Of the authorized total. The
administration had expected to
ask the Appropriations Commit
tees for the remaining 500 mil
lion this year along with a new
item of 500 million for the
Middle East.
What the committee did was
to cancel the 500 million au-
thorization not appropriated last
year, grant the new 500 million
for the Middle East, but con-
solidate it with whatever re-
mains from last years Asian
fund.
The committee went further,
however, by restricting this COM
bined fund to loans or surplus
farm crops instead of money
grants. 1t also put a limit of Is
per cent on the portion that
could go to any one country in
either area The combining of
the two funds was proposed by
Republican Representative Vorys
of Ohio, but the 500 million re-
duction was an amendment
offered by Representative Sell
den. Democrat of Alabama.
The House committee hopes to
finish the bill by tomorrow.

Ralph Molder, son of Mrs. Gene

Bracy, son of Mrs. Homer Bracy, N.
Main street, and the late Homer
Bracy, were discharged from the u.
S. Army at F't. Sheridan, H., last
week.
Molder, a graduate of Bluffton high
school in the class of 1854, entered
the Army shortly after graduation.
He was attached with the ordnance
and was stationed south of Stuttgart.
Although it is not definite, present
plans are to enroll at Bowling Green
State university this fall.
Bracy was graduated from Bluff
ton high school in 1852 and entered
service in 1854. He was stationed al
Leipheim, Germany. Present plans
are indefinite.
Both men were active in athletics
during their high school days. Molder

Although one restaurant closed, it
was not attributed to lack of busi-
ness, but more to lack of available
help.
A committee of the Bluffton Busi-
ness Mems association headed by
Walter Gratz and Silas Diller, is at
work on a project for erecting signs
along the bypass inviting travellers
to visit the Bluffton business section.
One sign has already been erected
at the intersection of GratZ Crossing
and old u. S. Route 25. An arrow
now directs visitors the proper way
into town over the old Route 25 and
prevents many from making the
mistake of heading west past the
EmmanuePs Evangelical and Re
formed church.
Mr.. GratZ has reported that a
large sign is planned for the Roy
Rogers farm, on the old Dixie high
way, near where the new section
connects with the old route. Rogers
has provided location near the
highway to be used to erect the sign
The site is easily visible from the
highway.
Loss of business or not, business
men were almost unanimous in their
opinion that they were glad for the
bypass. The heavy truck traffic has
been eliminated, except for the few
that come into the town on business.
Added parking facilities, both on
Main and side streets, has been a
boon to business for most retail
stores.
