Regional Transit
Agency Is Urged

A regional transit system run
by a single regional agency
could help solve Metropolitan
Washington transit problems,
according to Wilfred owen,
Bookings Institution econo-
mist.
Mr.. Owen, a nationally
known transportation expert,
said the agency could either
operate the lines or lease them
to a private firm.
He made the suggestion at a
luncheon meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Housing
and Redevelopment Ofhcials at
1884 I street NV. yesterday.
Such a regional agency as a
regulatory body was suggested
for the Washington area in the
preliminary report of the
$400, 1000 congressional study
on mass transportation, now
under way. This study is due to
be completed next spring.
In its preliminary report
consultant Jerome P. Alper
noted a regional regulatory
agency eventually could be
converted to an operating
body, if mass transit ever fell
into public hands.
MIR. Owen said that the re-
gional agency could be sus-
tanned by pooled transit fares
parking meter fees, gasoline
and motor license taxes and
bridge tolls.

Racial Plans

RICHMOND. Nov. 8 (P).-J,
Lindsay Almond. jr., the man
who will become Virginia's Gov
ernor January IL, says any
changes he might propose in
the States anti-integration
laws probably won't be made
until his inaugural message to
the General Assembly.
He told his first post-election
press conference yesterday he
has mot CONCEALED any plans
at the moment" for proposing
any changes. And he would not
say whether he thought any
changes were needed.
When reporters asked. ques-
lions about school migration,
Mr.. Almond took the same po-
sition he had during the cam
paign-that he would use all
legal means of resisting inte-
grafton and would deal with
each situation threatening in
tegration as it might arise.
He said the present laws
have certainly been a strong
contributing factor to the fact
that no schools have been in
tegrated and none closed" in
the State.
AS to how long these laws
would serve to hold the no
indignation line, Mr.. Almond
said this would depend largely
on 1.-THE pressures and judicial
response to those pressures'
exerted by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF

The other. Patricia Hepin-
stall of Houston, Tex, has
brown hair and is an inch
shorter.
Even in. this city where so
many attractive young wom-

are the cynosure of admiring
and envious glances from
passing men and women.

Bonding Proposed
For Building Firms
Advisory Group
Asks Surveyto
Protect Public
BY JAMES G. DEANE

The Commissioners Citizens
Advisory Council today pro-
posed a study of possible
bounding of Washington home
improvement firms and other
building contractors to guard
against gouging of customers.
The council opposed, how
ever. a suggestion of the Dis
trict Council on Law Enforce
ment that such firms be Ii
censed.
District licensing officials al-
ready have objected to the lie
censing idea.
License Setup Raped
j. j. ngenfritz, deputy dis
trict licensing director. told
the group his department feels
the whole licensing setup is q
"hodgepodge" and should be
revamped.
He also said, after the meet
ing, that he would not be sur
prised if some bonding proce-
dure were developed on the
matter for contracting of home
improvements. But bonding Is
now used only in connection
with licensing. he noted.
The Council on Law En-
forcement last May proposed
creation of a special board to
examine, license and police the
home improvement business.
The group said there were
apparently widespread abuses
in the field, including over
charges.
Oppose License Action
License officials surveyed in
tereSted groups and recently
told the Commissioners that
the licensing proposal should
not be adopted without a broad
study of the Districts licensing
procedures and possible legisla-
ton.
Licensing Director Cabell
Gwathmey said organized con.
tractors either objected to the
idea or were unenthusiastic,
and that the Better Business
Bureau seemed to be acting eff
fectively in dealing with the
problem of abuses.
Schuyler Lowe, general adj
ministration director, said after
the meeting today that he is
supporting Mr.. Gwathmey's
stand.
