terstate compact and controlled
locally which would forestall
the corporation plan If achieved
soon enough.
Area Action Asked
Appearing as one of the first
witnesses at hearings before
the Joint Committee on Wash
ington Metropolitan Problems
Mr.. Stats strongly urged that
the District. Maryland and
Virginia speed efforts to ar
range such q compact so that
no Federal corporation would
be needed.
The bureau, he said, consid-
ers an interstate agency 1.-THE
only really satisfactory solu-
ton" to meeting the areas
growing commuter needs.
Representatives Smith, DEM
ocrat, and Broyhill. Republican,
both Of Virginia. along with
Senator Bible, Democrat of Ne
vada, chairman of the joint
unit, questioned Mr.. Stats
closely on the financial aspects
of the plan.
The Virginia legislators wanted
to know just how much of the
$500 million estimated cost of
the transit system would fall
on the Federal Government.
In the present deplorable
state of the budget when you
speak of $500 million it gives
me cold feet" Representative
Smith said.
Bonds Suggested
Mr.. Stats said the financing
could be accomplished either
with bonds issued by the corp
Grafton against its revenues,
bonds guaranteed by the Fed
eral Government or some ad-
vances from the Federal Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Smith pressed the ques-
ton, asserting: When it comes
to fishing out the long green
the Treasury has got to put the
money!"
The budget official did not
make a direct response to this
question but said that the f.
nancing problem is "one rea-
son we feel the interstate COM
pact is better" He pointed out
that the interstate agency
would have to figure out a way
Of meeting the cost through
user charges, State taxes or
some other mechanism.
Harland Bartholomew, chair
man Of the National Capital
Planning Commission, and
Donald E. Gingery, chairman
Of the National Capital Re-
sional Planning Council,
backed the bill. Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW said the commission had
a hand in drafting it.
Mr.. Bartholomew warned
that present day traffic al
ready has absorbed most of
our street capacity" and that
the community is barely get
ting by in terms of traffic and

remarkable, even for an Irish
man.
Cavan, who kept Tim Tam
from the Triple Crown title by
winning the Belmont Stakes in
1858, was an Irish-bred pur-
chased in the same sales ring
where Barry bought Celtic Ash
for O'Connell.
Barry paid $4,000 at the
Ballsbridge Sales at Dublin for
Cavan, but went to $4,000 to
get Celtic Ash, an eye-catching
chestnut by Sicambre, a cham
pion French horse.
! Like Cavan. Celtic Ash did
not indicate his inherent quail
ity in his 2-year-old season.
Cavan won only one race at 2,
while Celtic Ash went 0 for 3.
but did manage a second at
Aqueduct last fall.
In his racing debut last year,
Celtic Ash was beaten IA
lengths by no other than Fran
els S., the Wood Memorial VIC
tor. Since Francis S. also is a
non-Derby eligible, the chances
are the two will hook UP again
in the PreakneSS.
Like Gavan, Celtic Ash made
his 3-year-old bow at Laurel
and won cleverly. Last Satur-
day, Celtic Ash went a mile
and hung up a new track rec
ord as he Travelled the eight
furlongs in 1875. He made a
fine stretch rush, suggesting
that distance running will be
his forte.
- -
Should Celtic Ash move into
the big money class with a VIC
tory in the Preakness or Bel
mont, it would be another trib-
ute to Trainer Barry's ability
to detect a champion when he
sees one.
In 1852. when Barry was
only few seasons removed
from the New England county
fair circuit, he attended the
Keeneland Sales and spent
I$7,500 for Joseph Gavegnano.
Boston baker. The colt Barry
picked was Errand King. who
won the Arlington Classic and
American Derby and wound up
earning $317.575.
Then came Cavan. who
earned Sl36, ,007, and now Celtic
Ash. To date. Celtic Ash has
picked up a paltry $3.50. But
he hasn't tried the big leagues
yet.
If Celtic Ash runs in the
Preakness the way he did at
Laurel, he might catch a lot
of horses in that long stretch
and a lot of dollars, too.
