Senators Set
For Fight on
Leose-Buy

A floor fight over restoration
Of the Federal lease-purchase
program looms in the Senate.
Senator Magnuson, Demo-
erat of Washington. pledged
himself to battle the system
Of long-term financing rejected
by the House in March.
His statement carried con-
siderable weight. as Senator
Magnuson heads the Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee
This group has just finished
hearings on General Services
Administration pleas to restore
lease-purchase in the Indepen-
dent Ofhces budget for the
coming year.
Five major Federal buildings
planned in Washington are in
the GSA lease-purchase pro-
gram.
Senator Magnuson said he
expects the money bill with
GSA allotments would reach
the Senate late next week. If
his subcommittee retains the
bar against lease-purchase. he
said Republicans ably
would try to lift that bar on
the Senate floor.
If committeeman re insert
the lease-purchase program,
Senator Magnuson predicted a
Democratic effort to block 1t
during debate
His own position was made
clear in hearings when he told
GSA Administrator Franklin G..
Floete:
Lease purchase just doubles
the amount our taxpayers have
to pay for constructing those
Federal buildings. You know ]
have always been opposed to 1t
on that ground. But our COM

OultCu LCtLtOCA dbo.
Mr.. Horsky's letter was sent
to Edward M. Bernstein. in an
swer to one in which Mr.. Bern
stein said Dean Acheson has
failed in Democratic Party
peacemaking because his advice
had been rejected by the DEM
ocrats for SO. the slate for
which he serves as campaign
treasurer.
Both letters discussed a meet
ing between Mr.. Horsky. Mr..
Acheson, Mr.. Bernstein, Blair
Lee III and several candidates
who had been dropped from
the Democrats for '5S ticket.
Common Point Of View
Mr.. Horsky said the slate
represented a group Of quail
fed candidates with a common
point of view which is ex-
pressed in their platform"
Democrats for '58 campaign
literature asserts the slate is
composed of candidates pre-
scented by the Democratic eau
Gus of Montgomery County" and
the candidates encouraged by
the caucus" filed for Office. Mr..
Horsky. however. said:
mo one picked the %
candidates who are the Demo-
Gratis for 49," Some
of them had been active in the
caucus, some had been in the
caucus but not active and some
had never had any connection
with the caucus at all"
In reference to the loyalty
pledge" Mr.. Horsky said each
of the states members sub
scribe to a common platform
for better government and a
revitalized party.
I'VE reached the conclusion
early that the most effective

The commission also APP
proved the widening OF Duke

street win be widened from It's
present three lanes 70 four
lanes. with a dividing strip. be-
tween Quaker lane and the

termaster Depot. The project
will cost about sl.3 million.
The commission also gave
final approval without change
to S97.7 million in construction
ALLEGATIONS made on a tentative
basis earlier for urban, primary
and interstate highways in the
next fiscal year.
The commission adopted a
liberalized policy for taking into
the secondary system roads Of
new subdivisions. Heretofore
subdividers have had to surface
treat any road taken in.
Mr.. Davis explained that
Subdividers now may deposit
with the department enough
money to cover the estimated
cost Of surface treatment and
the highway department will
take the roads into the second
airy system and surface treat
them itself.

way in which this platform and
our individual qualifications
for office could be brought be-
fore the Democratic voters Of
the Montgomery County was
through a concerted mutual eff
fort" Mr.. Horsky said.
The five candidates dropped
from the slate said they had
refused to agree to support all
other members of the slate and
to turn over their campaigns
to a joint committee.
Could Aid Other Groups
Mr.. Horsky said that at the
Acheson meeting the candi-
dates had been told they could
contribute to other campaign
treasures.
Mr.. Horsky also said that at
the meeting Mr.. Bernstein had
proposed that some of the
Democrats for SO announce
their withdrawal from the race
so that a harmony ticket could
be formed.
Mr.. Acheson called it nom
sense, I called it unconditional
rrend r." Mr.. Bernstein
wrote.
He said Mr.. Lee had said
that as a representative Of the
organization, such a ticket
would have to include five per-
sons on the United Democratic
ticket.
ITO you and Mr.. Lee and
Mr.. (Ward) Caddington, it is
harmony if the organization
is able to select a majority Of
the candidates; it is splitting
the party when the Democrats
for So insist that all Mont
gomery Democrats-not just
the leaders, should decide
who their candidate should be. "
Mr.. Horsky continued.
In Favor Of Most
Mr.. Horsky also reported Mr..
Bernstein said he was in favor
of most of the Democrats for
SO and that so per cent of the
candidates the Free Demo-
crats-with which Mr.. Bern
stein is working-would indorse
would be from the Democrats
for SO.
"You know, Of course, that
the so-called Free Democrats
have in fact left no stone UNI
turned to defeat all the Demo-
Gratis for So and have Endorsed
not so per cent of them. but
none of them" he continued.
He said the 16 Endorsements
included IA Organization can
didates" and two independents.
Mr.. Horsky also said that Mr..
Acheson had indicated at the
meeting that he believed a pri-
mary was healthy and he was
concerned only with the party
uniting in November.
He also said that the Demo-
Gratis for SO had pledged its
support of the ticket in Novem-
Der regardless of who wins the
primary and that such a pledge
from the Free Democrats and
United Democrats would be a
service to the party.

Interpretation Challenged
This Interpretation has been
questioned by Com mittee
Chairman NPatman. Democrat
Of Texas. His fact-finding
probe was expected to lead to
a congressional request for sep
arate accounting OF company
transit and tour operations.
George E. C. Hayes, District
Public Utilities Commission
chairman, explained at yester-
days hearing regulators had
not needed the data before.
Asked II the commission has
legal power to order separate
accounting, Mr.. Hayes replied,
"Categorically. yes" Commits

CURED.
At an earlier conference with
the utilities commission in the
District Building, D. c. Transit
Vice President James H. Flana-
gan refused to volunteer the re-
accounting. Data would be
furnished on order. he added.
But the book division would be
time consuming.
Representative Patman called
on the commissions chief acr
countant. william Falk, to con-
firm D. C. Transit promotion
costs for his committee in the
afternoon.
80 Per Cent Of Promotion y.
Mr.. Falk estimated that 90
per cent Of all d. c. Transit
promotion was poured into
sightseeing, charter and limou-
sine operations.
OF the total s452,000 annual
take from these three services.
some $235, 900 or more than 50F
per cent is spent on promoting
them, he testified.
Mr.. Falk fixed losses on the
three xtra-transit services at
$192, 800 last year. Since Mr..
Chalk maintains the services
operate at a profit, transit rev-
enues must have Offset the
losses, he noted.

In Newport News, Delegate

ing a special session unless we

resent are ready for integrated

Anything we might do at a

the school situation was ex-
pressed in a one-paragraph
statement during his news con-
ference. He said he did not
care to comment further.
No Reason for Change
When asked specific ques-
tions, however, he replied that
he could see no reason now to
change the States package OF
anti-integration laws, or to
call a special session of the
General Assembly to cope with
new school problems created
Monday in Federal courts.
Charlottesville school au-
thorities were told Monday
they must desegregate their
schools in September. In an
