Transit Pact Clears
Maryland Senate
Compact Gets
OK by Margin
Of IS Votes
BY a star Stan Writer

ANNAPOLIS, April 8. The
Washington metropolitan tram
sit compact is closer to area
wide adoption today. having
gained the approval last night
of the Maryland Senate.
The measure, establishing q
regional regulatory body 70
govern privately operated pub
lie transportation in the Met
ropolitan Area, has already
been adopted by the Virginia
Assembly. The remaining party
the District-muSt seek ap-
proval of the pact in Congress.
The Maryland Senate gave
the measure a bare l5-vote
constitutional majority after
an about drive for it by Sem
ate Majority Leader Edward s.
Northrop. 1t now goes to the
Governor.
Mr.. Northrop fought a series
of 81 amendments introduced
by Senator H. Winship Wheat
ley, jr., Democrat of Prince
Georges. Senator Wheatley was
joined by three colleagues in
voting against the bill. Ten
Senators passed.
Three Man Commission
Under the bill, which had
already passed sle Maryland
House. a three-man commits
sion would be established Of
Representatives from Maryland.
Virginia and the District. The
commission, however, could not
operate a publicly-owned car
rier, nor apply any controls to
truck traffic. 1t would have
power to regulate transit.
routes, services and fares
throughout the Washington
area.
Transit regulations are now
governed by separate State
and District regulatory COM
missions and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The Maryland action last
night came as a climax of q
running feud between Sem
ator Wheatley and Senator
Northrop.
Three Amendments OKd
The vote came after Senator
Wheatley made a 40-mirute
appeal for his amendments.
Three of a technical nature
were adopted.
Senator Northrop charged
that the amendments would
strike down the entire COM
pact" Questioned from the
floor, he said the compact
would cost some 100000, Of
which Maryland would con-
tribute up to $4,000.
Senator Northrop contested
Senator Wheatley's charges
that the measure failed to pro-
tect labor adequately or pre-.
serve the States sovereignty.
The majority leader empha-
sized the measure provides only
for regulatory authority. He
said labor would be protected
by procedures" already estab-
lished in the three Jurisdictions.
This is a milestone in inter-
state cooperation, Senator
Northrup said.
A number of Senators, ex-
iplaining their vote before bal
loting, expressed regret that a
local measure for two counties
had divided the delegations.

refused to eat her cereal.
Then Sheila and she lay
down for a nap. Just before /
o'clock Mrs. Matthews told the
little girl to go to the bath
room, but Sheila didn't move.
She said Sheila often plays
'possum and pretends to be
dead" After telling the child,
who had the covers over her
head, once more to get up, she
pulled the girl sharply by the
arm.
The child either slipped or
fell from her mothers grasp
and struck the floor.
Police attempted mouth-to-
mouth respiration and the girl
was transported to District
General Hospital under oxygen,
where she was pronounced dead
on arrival.
An autopsy disclosed that
Sheila had died of a ruptured
heart.

Kingman Lake Spot Urged
David Finley, FAC chairman,

UNTIL LAST YEAR the
Government was limited by
law to a ceiling price of 1850
for new automobiles. Some
difficulty was experienced
with this ceiling and it was
changed to $3.50 two years
ago.
One of the Big Three bid
under this to supply Uncle
Sam with a large number of
sedanS. However, this calen-
dar year is better than last
for the industry and right
now the Governments pur-
chasing agent is experiencing
some difficulty in buying new
cars from Detroit for less
than 81 500. GSA resellS them
after six years or 10000 miles
for an average of 10 per cent
of the purchasing price.
The Government has an
other economy. 1t does not
buy insurance. 1t can be
sued for damages under the
Federal Tort Claims Act be-
fore a United States District
Court judge. Federal judges
have given large verdicts but
the total is much less than
it would cost to insure all of
Uncle Sans cars.
OF the 900 vehicles in GSA's
Washington fleet, almost 800
are rented to Government
agencies by the month. A
little over 100 are kept in
pools for immediate demands.
These are rented at which,
ever is less: So a day and
s cents a mile or 80 cents an
hour and 8 cents a mile.
The cars are parked in
three lots, Third and Canal
streets S.W., at South Agri-
culture and at the Interior
Building.
At one time GSA attempted
to run a Government taxi
service with their drivers in
station wagons equipped with
two-way radios. 1t cost so
much that it was abandoned.
There are many more Gov
eminent vehicles in Wash
lngton than the 900 in the
GSA pool, Post Office, mill
tary, FBI and other enforce
ment units.
The number of Federally
owned civilian vehicles in the
Nation is 107 1877; the number
of military vehicles, 100000
cars and trucks, no tanks.

PotonldcBasin
Bill 10 Seek
Higher Budget
Wider Authority
On Water Uses
Also Provided

Legislation to strengthen the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin should
reach Congress this session, the
House Appropriations Commit
tee has been told.
Ellis 8. Tisdale, commission
director, said the measure
would lift the $4,000 limit on
annual commission budgets. It
also would authorize the COM
mission to coordinate all water
resource problems. such as
industrial and domestic uses,
recreation, irrigation and their
linterrelation.
Under current law, the COM
mission is limited to trying to
abate pollution.
Mr.. Tisdale alerted the COM
mittee to the compact legisla-
ton at hearings released today
on his budget for the year
beginning July /.
Identical Language
State Legislatures of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Pennsyl-
yania and Maryland would
have to adopt identical COM
pact language, too. The COM
mission hopes for approval Of
the expansion from the mem
Der States within two years.
Congress will be called on
simply to authorize the Dis
trict to take part in the new
commission, he explained.
Mr.. Tisdale complimented
member States for their con-
tributions of $4,000 from the
District; $4,000, Virginia: So, 800,
West Virginia; $4,000, Pennsyl-
vania, and $500 Maryland.
This amounts to SGT 300 of the
$4,000 limit.
In addition, the Federal Gov
eminent grants a straight
$4,000 annually.
Questioned by Representative
Fogerty, Democrat of Rhode
Island. as to chances of rails
ing the Federal contribution,
Mr.. TiSdale said commission
officials had talked it over with
the Budget Bureau.
New Sewage Problems
He predicted, however, that
States would "go along with
u.s."
In his testimony, Mr.. Tisdale
also told the committee that:
The Potomac would be clean
enough for swimming for sew
eral miles above Washington
lif sewage disposal can be
worked out satisfactory for the
Central Intelligence Agency
and at Chantilly Airport.
Operation beginning this
month at the $14 million treat
ment plant at Blue Plains will
substantially improve Potomac
river quality.
| Virginia, paced by Maryland
for years in sewage disposal
progress. is beginning to tackle
the problem from a long range
standpoint.

The
Rambler
Checks on
Transportation
by GEORGE KENNEDY

The General Services Adj
ministration rents new Sc
dams with the current high
fin rear tenders and amazing
tail light assemblies at a
charge that would make most
motorists envious.
The GSA rate is $50 a
month, which includes 200
miles without further charge.
After that, the rate is 51a
cents a mile. GSA pays for
all the gas and oil.
This Is very much under
the rate charged by the Ma
tons largest car rental es-
tablishment, which is 5000 a
month and 10 cents for every
mile.
GSA doesn't lose money at
this cut rate. In the Wash
ington area it has 900
sedans, station wagons and
trucks Qess than / toni on
which it crosses 100000 a
year. This pays for purchase
and replacement of vehicles
and the salaries of everyone
operating the rental service.
Most motorists would sell
their cars tomorrow to get in
on this bargain rate, but they
can't rent from GSA. Gov
eminent agencies alone are
eligible.
This is good as far as COM
petition is concerned. The
Government enjoys certain
price cuts not available to
private industry or the indi-
vidual citizen.
