Start Is Urged
OnInQuiryI Into
Area Problems

Representative Hyde, Re-
publican Of Maryland, has
asked congressional commit
teemen named to investigate
Washington metropolitan prob
lens to start work next week,
Author Of the resolution
calling for the study, Mr..
Hyde is one of six committee
members. Others are Senators
Bible. Democrat Of Nevada:
Morse. Democrat Of Oregon:
and Beall. Republican Of Mary
land; and Representatives Nc
MILAN, Democrat Of South
Carolina; and Smith, Demo
crat Of Virginia.
They went to all parts Of
the country when Congress,
recessed, Mr.. Hyde noted, and
have been back at the CapitoI
at odd intervals since.
Early Action Urged
He sent each a memo giving
my idea Of how the investiga-
ton ought to get started" Mr.
Hyde explained. and urged
haste.
A small staff should be ap-
pointed Immediately, he said
By January. this stan should
have ready q report on at least
the first phase Of the study
what regional problems are.
I'VE know some that are diff
ficult to handle regionally." Mr.
Hyde went on. Transportation
is one; water Is another"
Once the problems are de-
fined. the study can enter into
its other three phases, accord
ing to the Maryland Republic
can. He said tsese we're:
How are these problems be-
ing dealt with now?
Effect on District
How are they affecting the
District economically and So
cially?
How should the problems be
dealth with in the future?
A professional consultant
might be needed to help the
staff with the last two Of these
phases. Mr.. Hyde said. The
committee was given $4,000 to
start its work. BY the time it
reaches final phases of the
study. considerable more money
may be needed, he predicted.
A growing core Of regional
planning experts has speculated
that the metropolitan study
may equal in scope the $780,
900 area transportation survey
ordered by Congress two years
ago.
Bible May Head Group
The committee will elect its
own chairman. expected to be
Senator Bible. the senior Demo-
cratic member of the group. He
is travelling in California and
Nevada. however, and may be
unable to serve.
Mr.. Hyde said he hoped to
reach him by telephone this
week end. To help guide COM
mitteemen. Mr.. Hyde already
has asked for suggestions of
problems needing study from
the recently organized WASH
Eington Metropolitan Regional
Conference. headed by Robert
E. Mclaughlin. president of
the District Board Of Commits
sioners.
How we get started will be
Of the utmost Importance in
getting the cooperation Of Of
ficials and taxpayers Of the
many jurisdictions surrounding
Washington" Mr.. Hyde warned.
