ing watched closely. The turn

candidates.

Capitol Hill efforts to solve the
Washington transit crisis were
stalled today.
The House, which had sched-
uled debate for today on bill
to restore the dying franchise OF
the Capital Transit Co.. delayed
consideration of the measure
probably to Thursday. The
House is expected to complete
work on the Defense Depart
ment's appropriation bill.
The Senate. which yesterday
spent 4l2 hours debating a pro-
posal for public ownership OF
the transit system, postponed
final action until tomorrow
Then, under a unanimous con-
sent agreement to limit debate
the Senate is to spend 80 min
utes discussing each amendment
or motion offered and two hours
on final passage of the bill.
There was no head-ou oppo-
sition to the measure, which
would establish an interim

sit Authority to take over the
transit system next August IS.
Amendments Promised
Several amendments were
promised. however. Senator AL
lott. Republican of Colorado. said
he would move to restore a pro-
vision to outlaw strikes. The bill
contained this clause when il
was submitted by the District
Commissioners, but was dropped
as the measure went through the
Senate District Committee.
Other amendments, centerine
on condemnation powers for the

Review Asked
OF Hatkin Case
BY Senate Unit
Hennines Coils
For Just Treatment
By Air Force
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Senate Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights today
strongly" urged that the Air
Force re-examine the case of
Sidney Hatkin "at the highest
level"
In a letter to Secretary of the
Air Force QuarleS, Chairman
Hennings said such a review is
needed not only to assure just
treatment to the suspended stat
Iistician but to determine whether
there is IAN urgent need for a
revision of policies and proce-
dures" on security by the de-
.partment.
Senator Hennings cited the
recently disclosed October IT,.
1855. directive of Army Secre-
tary Brucker outlining new
standards for interpreting Sc
curity risk criteria and, in effect,
asked what plans the Air Force
had for similar action.
The Brucker order hit at au-
tomato guilt by : association,
guilt-by -kinship and guilt-by-
character reference. 1t said it
must be shown that an individ-
Iual personally was sympathetic
to Subversive influences.
Had Studied Affidavit
The Air Force said earlier that
its security review board "ex-
amined most thoroughly" Mr..
Hatkin's affidavit outlining his
rejection of a Soviet agents job
offer before it decided to recon-
mend that he re fired as a risk.
A statement came from a top
Air Force official in answer to an
inquiry.
The question arose because the
Air Force in a four-page letter
to Mr.. Hatkin on April %, in
which it gave the reasons for a
tentative" decision to drop the
40-year-old statistician because
of alleged Communist associa-
tons, did not mention the affi-
davit nor has it questioned Mr.
Hatkin about 1t.
On the Senate floor late yes
terday. Senator Lehman, Demo-
crat of New York, told his COL
leagues that "the Air Force De-
partment owes Mr.. Hatkin, it
owes me. it owes the Senate and
the country an explanation"
Senator Lehman criticized the
administration for not restoring
Mr.. Hatkin to his job after the
suspended employe had per-
formed what the legislator
called this act of loyalty"
The New Yorker said he mad
been aware of Mr.. Hatkin's case
before the story broke in The
Star Sunday. and had written
Mr.. Jpuarles for an explanation
"of the long and unbearable or
deal to which lMr Hatkin) had
been subjected"
Committee Calls Hatkin
Meanwhile. there were these
developments:
l. Mr.. Quarles issued a state
ment saying that a final
decision IN the Hatkin case
will be rendered when all
information available has been
considered" He said ruling
should be reached in the near
future"

Dr.. Corning volunteered a
statement about the indignation
