However, he added, "our

he has not yet decided whom

anyone who runs against Mr.

Asking if Mr.. Truman wasn't

Backers of Senator Hubert H.

hat into the District primary on

nominees to a contest.
The announcement of inten-
ton to run a Humphrey-pledg
slate of convention delegates
was made by a newly formed
D. C. Committee for Humphrey,
headed by w. John Kenney.

Informed of the challenge by

testimony in flve-day public
hearings on the area transpor-
tation system, which will open
Monday before the House.
Senate Committee on Washing
ton Metropolitan Problems.
The joint committee. headed
by Senator Bible. is set to hear
more than rs witnesses during
the week-including transpor-
tation experts from all parts
of the country.
The SIS billion proposal was
submitted to the White House
and Congress in July, after
more than three years Of study
by area planning agencies. 1t
proposed two major rapid rail
transit lines from Maryland to
Virginia - with subw avs
through downtown Washington
and about 300 miles of free
ways, on which express bus
routes would be set UP.
Budget Bureau Voice
The Budget Bureau, it was
learned, is preparing a state
ment on the Administrators
attitude toward the $2.5 billion
proposal. which is expected to
be made public Monday. Presi-
dent Eisenhower directed the
bureau to draft the statement
after hearing from various
Federal agencies because the
planners report had called for
substantial Federal contribu-
lions to development of the
system.
In a statement. Chairman
Bible said his committee wants
to hold next weeks hearings as
closely as possible to the COM
mittee's immediate problem:
To decide what kind of legiSla-
ton it should recommend to
Congress-possibly the forma-
ton of some new agency to
take up where the planners
report left of.
Senator Bible said his COM
mittee's report to Congress in
January definitely would not
comment on any of the CON
troversial specific routes or
other physical features" of the
plan.
| These" he said, "are not
regarded by the committee as
sufficiently well studied or final
to be gone into in detail at THU
time. They are illustrative
These features are valuable as
they show the order of magnf-
tude Of the entire proposes
system and hence indicate
what kind of government
agency and how much money
will be required to realize such
a system"

Said Mr.. Kenney:
1--WE hope there will be a
contest in the primary and
hereby call on the other con-
tenders to meet us. Citizens OF
Washington have little chance
to vote. so primary contests in

would have increased the total
number of scholarships by 452.
Defeat by Coalition
1t was a coalition of private
school supporters and Senators
who guard zealously their
scholarship appointment priv
ileges which resulted in the
bills defeat.
Delegate Lee, chairman OF
the House Education Commit
tee, said he intended to intro"
duce the bill himself at the
next session despite the coun-
ellis defeat.
The swift defeat of the bill to
provide the big counties with
more seats came as no surprise.
The proposal would have in
creased the maximum delega-
ton from any county from 6
to 10. At the same time it
would not have deprived any
county of seats it now holds al
though some have a seat for
each 7,000-plus persons while
others have one per 10000
plus.
All counties now have at
least two seats in the House
regardless of their population.
William A. Walsh. chairman
of a commission appointed by
Gov. Tawes to study the in
equality. conceded his plan,
was not perfect but argued
that it was a step in the right
direction. >.
Baltimore City delegates
opposed the measure on
grounds it provided no addi-
tional seats for the city. The
city now has 36 members in
the House.
A second motion calling for
a constitutional convention
drew support of Baltimore City :
delegates but still failed to win
council acceptance.
The action made it clear that
it would be up to Gov. Tawes
to help in giving larger coun-
ties a fair representation in
the House.

clined to comment on the

1913 to 141 members, was de-
feated, IL to S, in the Legisla-
tive Council.
The General Assembly's in
term body also rejected rec
concentrations of a special
committee that would have
made uniform Maryland's pres
ent system of State scholar
ships to both public and pri-
vate schools.
In its only major positive
move, the council Endorsed and
agreed to introduce in the 1860
General Assembly a bill to
allow the voters to decide next
November on a veterans bonus.
A bonus bill has been in the
Legislature virtually every ses-
sion since World War II.
Bond Financing
The present plan of the
council calls for financing such
a bonus through a bond issue
which would be paid off by in
creasing from 8 to 4 per cent
both the income and sales tax
base.
Finance Chairman A. Cor
don Boone, Democrat of Balti-
more County, long a foe Of the
bonus, said it was time the
people had a chance to decide
the bonus question once and
for all.
The scholarship bills defeat
came despite pleas of the chair
man of the scholarship COM
mittee, Blair Lee, III, Demo
crat Of Montgomery. House
Speaker Perry o. Wilkinson
and Senator Mary L. Knox
Democrat Of Wicomico.
Leading a move to refuse
consideration of the bill at the
1860 session was Senator Sam
uel Barrick, Democrat of Fred
erick. He was opposed to cut
in funds allotted Hood College
in Frederick by the bill.
At present some scholarships
in private colleges are valued
as high as $2.100. Under the
Lee proposal. all scholarships
would be for catalogue tuition
only in private schools. The bill
