Transit Agency

New Job Token
By Commissioner
With Reluctance ,
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

District Engineer Commis-
sioner Frederick J. Clarke today
reluctantly" agreed to serve
as the city's representative on
the new Washington Area
Transit Commission.
The. Governors Of Maryland
and Virginia had announced
their States representatives on
the three-member commission
last week during the formal
signing of the new regulatory
agency compact.
The announcement that Brig
Gen. Clarke viii be the Dis
trict's representative was made
after an hour-long closed meet
ing Of the Board Of Commis-
Sioners. It was the third board
conference on the appointment.
Under the legislation setting
up the agency. which will regu-
late transit operations in the
Washington area, the three
jurisdictions had to select their
com mission representatives
from their public utility
agencies. In the District, the
Public Utilities Commission is
made up Of the city's Engineer
Commissioner and two civilian
members.
Heavy Duties Cited
Gen. Clarke had hesitated
in accepting appointment to
the new commission, mainly
because it viii be q time-con-
suming job. Gen. Clarke ex-
planned that he felt his time
already is stretched thin in
seeing to his multiple duties.
But, Gen. Clarke said, he
had reluctantly decided before
today's conference that he
would accept the job. The
other two PUG members are
George E. C. Hayes. chairman,
and Harold A. Kertz.
Gen. Clarke had been urged
to serve on the new commits
sion by Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin. The third
Commissioner, Mark Sullivan,
jr, reportedly had taken q
somewhat neutral position on
the matter.
After today's meeting, Mr..
Mclaughlin said a major rea-
son for wanting Gen. Clarke to
sit on the commission was to
help avoid development Of con-
f1ictS between the District gov
ernment and the regulatory
agency.
Has 21s Years
Asked to cite an example
of possible conflict, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said there could be a
dispute over whether o street
should be one-way to expedite
bus service.
Gen. Clarke took Office as
Engineer Commissioner last
August l. II he serves q three
year tour here. as is generally
the case, he viii sit on the new
commission for about 2h1a years.
The new area-wide transit
commission is to go into oper-

able overall plan for slum clear
ance and civic redevelopment.
He told how New York is going
about its program on a com
munity" basis, breaking up the
big city into 81 regions of about
100000 population each. Each
Of these, he said, would have its
own character and integrity as
a civic unit.
BaltimOrean's View
Martin Millspaugh, deputy
general manager of Baltimore s
New Charles Center. took an
opposing position. The social
goals of urban renewal-the
provision Of decent home and
a suitable living environment
for every family-must be
achieved in the context of q
metropolitan housing market
which many years ago rendered
the city line obsolete" Mr.
Millspaugh said.
The Baltimore planner called
for creation of metropolitan
development councils which
would bring into one room q
cross section of people with
major executive responsibilities
in three critical spheres.
