An investigation is under way

into irregularities in the han

Col, Dean E. Coonley. adiu-

He said a National Guard

Some Guardsmen were being

approximately 500 men Of the

One man gave his pay checks

bus system which soon will be
recommended to President
Eisenhower for the Washing
ton area.
Mr.. Keith, addressing the
annual citizens planning con-
ference Of the American Plan
ming and Civic Association,
meeting in Memphis. Tenn.
disclosed a number of details
Of the forthcoming tranSporta-
ton report, which has been in
the making for more than three
years.
Basic Items Of Plan
He said the recommended
system. designed to meet 1880
travel demands, will include
"33 miles of rail transit lines,
66 miles Of express bus lines on
freeways and $50 miles of free
ways and parkways at a total
cost of approximately SIS
billion"
The travel requirements will
be SO tremendous that it will be
impossible to meet them all by
highways, Mr.. Keith said. That
is the reason. he explained. that
elaborate transit facilities will
be needed.
But an interesting aspect of
our survey is that we will need
all the freeways for which it is
possible to find a reasonable
location" he added. THE role
Of high-speed transit will be to
attract enough riders so that
the number Of automobiles and
trucks on the highways will not
exceed the capacity of the
routes that can be built"
Mr.. Keith said the first
great need after the study Is
published will be to convince
area residents Of the critical
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-17

travel prospect which is de-
veloping. After that, he said,
they will have to be sold on
the feasibility Of the extensive
transit system to be recon-
mended. r.
Financial Problem
Mr.. Keith did not disclose
details Of the plan that will
be recommended to finance the
improvements and to form a
regional organization adequate
to plan. build and administer
the system. He did say, how
ever, that in addition to tram
sit money, the area will have
to find several hundred mil
lion dollars Of new highway
funds in the next decade IL
we are to do the job that
needs to be DONE"
He said the only alterna-
tives" to spending the huge
SIS billion appear to be let
ting congestion increase or Of
trying to radically alter the
way in which the region is
developing"
"Worsening congestion would
have obvious long-term effects
upon the metropolitan area. -
he said. Bringing about a
radical change in the areas
development does not appear
possible within the next gene
ration"
On Of the toughest aspects
of the financial dilemma, Mr..
Keith said. is that most Of the
new construction money will
be needed within the District
while the majority of the
people lin the area) will be
living in the suburbs"

was a comic.
He was informed by a visi-

Political Motive Denied
Disclaiming political motiva-
ton. Representative Saylor OF
Pennsylvania, a Republican, in
sisted that the measure estab-
fishes new policy for national
parks and water supply not
contemplated in the original
Foley version. So. he reasoned.
the bill reported to the House
should be, in effect, a commit
tee bill.
His Democratic colleagues,
aware that the canal legisla-
ton was a major campaign
issue in Mr.. Foley's successful
race last fall against his prede-
cessor. former Republican Rep
resentative Hyde. peppered
Chairman Aspinall with queries
about the meaning Of the
Saylor motion. But committee
rules prevented them from
raising a point Of order.

Democrat of Texas. observing
that some committeeman had
left the room. noted an abb
sence of a quorum necessary
to conduct committee business.
| A roll call proved him right.
Chairman Aspinall banged his
gavel, adjourning the meeting.

The issue is due to be dis
cussed again by the committee
next Wednesday. BY then
Democrats said privately. they
could know whether party in
lterests would be endangered by
reporting the clean bill" sought
by Mr.. Saylor without Mr.
Foley's sponsorship.
Mr.. Foley is not a member
of the committee.
The compromise that with
stood attacks from both Re-
publicans and Democrats in
committee today was designed
| to guarantee that a water stor-
age dam could be built along
the Potomac River generally
paralleling the canal park. if
Army engineers recommend it
in the future. The proviso
simply states that any park
land shall be free for public
non-park uses if Congress sub

This was ats time when the

Capital and the block had dis
tinction.
On July 81. 1948. the old Ma
tional Theater, one of the most
successful in the country. closed
up tight in the hard-to-re-
member turmoil over theatel
segregation.
And on January 80. 1850
the Gayety closed-with zoe
faithful distributed in 1,50C
seats. Some said the law de-
stroyed burlesque. Others said
is was not what it used to be
And some saw a chance on the
block to go legitimate in an
integrated way.
Crowd Greets the Barretts
In February 1850, under new
paint and management. the
Gayety opened again. With a
few Negroes in the crowd. solid
theater in the form Of THE
Barretts Of Wimpole Street
came to Washington again,
this time at the Gayety and or

Death settled on the Shubert
Theater yesterday. The news
came out in the afternoon. in
the papers on the block, at a
time when a light rain was
falling and an old man sat in
front of the locked doors to the
ticket office and lobby. The
word did not spread quickly.
1t was dark and dusty be-
hind the doors.
There were some cardboard
signs advertising the races at
Laurel stuck on the doors. In
a corner of the lobby there
was a pile of yellow telephone
books. A sign announced the
play. Listen to the Mocking
Bird"
Oddly. mysteriously, the
lights from the movie house
across the street were reflected
on a second row Of glass, doors
at the end Of the lobby. 1t
gave one the impression the
stage lights were on deep with
in the theater - dimmed, as
they used to be when the strip
per reached the last throes of
her traditional routine.
Block Not Too Interested
Today, the word is being
handed around that the Shu-
bert Theater is up for sale,
1t should be of passing interest
to the people of the block
but not as much as, for ex-
ample, the question of how
long JohansSon can last against
Patterson.
For the Sam S. Shubert
Theater was not always a cul-
tural island on the block. II
was once the Gayety-a pungent
home Of pretty awful Jokes,
struggling comedians without
