regulators had failed for a full
year to give him a clear picture
of transit operations.
Commission replies to his
queries, he said, showed an
indifference" TO small husi-
neSsmen in competition with
D. c. Transit President o. Roy
Chalk, and "buckpassing,
guesswork and evasiveness" in
describing regulation of Mr..
Chalk's company.
Mr.. Rogers has been trying
| to gather information on the
use of de luxe buses, wages
hours, tax returns and routings
as a basis for legislation. His
bill, which failed to clear Con-

d. c. Transit's mass trans

plans to press the legislation
next year.
All charter and sightseeing

a method used by some
used-car dealers in the financ-

Hansen Urges
Building Fund
Of 81 Million
BY JOHN ROSSON
Star stan Writer

If the District Commissioners
cannot come up with about 81
million for school construction
and improvement next year,
the city's classroom shortage
will be more than critical, it'll
be catastrophe" School Supt.
Carl F. Hansen declared today.
Speaking at his weekly press
conference, DR.. Hansen said
the effects of the shortage ale
ready are being felt.
His reference was to the fact
that the city's proposed six
year school construction pro-
gram has been seriously I'M
paired because of recent re-
fusals by Congress to allow tax
increases here to finance much
of the program.
The Commissioners decided
against raising real estate taxes.
A sales tax failed to clear Con-
gress in the closing days of the
session.
Northeast Already Short
The result, DR.. Hansen said,
is that funds for the second
half of next years proposed
school construction program
are not available. The cost has
been set at about 81 million.
IF the city cannot find those
funds somewhere" the super
intendent declared, the class
room situation in some sections
of the city will be more than
critical. it'll be catastrophe"
The superintendent is partic-
ularly concerned about North
east Washington, where class
room space already is at a
premium. A number of the new
and or expanded schools in
cluded in next years planned
81 million program were to be
located in that area, where DR..
Hansen said recently that space
already is needed for some
1000 additional students.
Junior Highs Needed
Specifically, DR.. Hansen said
today, the great need is for
ciassrooms for junior high stu
dents. The 81 million program
was to cover construction of
at least one Junior high,
Backus.
We've got to have that
school," he said.
Pinpointing the predicament,
DR.. Hansen recalled that Con-
gress has authorized the city
to spend the 81 million, "but
failed to appropriate it," When
the proposed increases in taxes
also failed, the later half Of
the 1961-62 construction pro-
gram became endangered.
So far, another school official
said, the problem has not been
solved and mo one is willing
to bet that the money can and
will be found"
District Building officials say
any delay in the overall six
year program, such as next
years portion. may mean the
total effort would become a
seven or eight-year program.
