This proposal sailed through
without a ripple of objection
after Senator Bartlett, Demo
crat of Alaska, acting for the

the Theodore Roosevelt bill
sponsored by Senator Javits
Republican of New York. This
latter bill would direct the
National Park Service to per-
NIT construction of a giant
sphere beside a rejecting pond
on the Theodore Roosevelt Is
land in the Potomac.
Senator Jayits, arriving on
the floor minutes after his
bill had been passed over, de-
manded an explanation.
Senator Bartlett said he had
been told to object to legisla
ton ordering construction of
memorials but to accept bills
such as the Wilson legislation,
authorizing studies.

Passed by the Senate, with.
out objection, were bills that

backed the agency idea so that
congressional sources voiced
doubt of a presidential veto on
this score.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee and
Representative Broyhill, Repub-
lican from Virginia, House
sponsor of the bill, made strong
arguments in behalf of the
measure.
Mr.. Mcmillan called it "a
realistic proposal" and "a big
step foreward in solving WASH
ington's traffic problem"
The legislation calls for a
transit development program to
be submitted to the White
House by November, 1862. The
program would then go on to
Congress. The new agency,
meanwhile, would be financed
through the executive budget of
the President. Sponsors said
the agency overhead would be
about $500,0O0 a year.
Representative Gross, Re-
publican of Iowa, the chief
critic of the spending involved,
assailed the bill as another
cute little raid on the taxpay-
erS Of all the country" for the
benefit of the District, Mary
land and Virginia.

crat of Minnesota, a dissident
District Committee member,
objected to the huge prof.
ects" he said would come, par
ticularly tunnels. Representa-
tive Tabor, Republican of New
York, also voiced misgivings
about future expenditures.
Mr.. Mcmillan replied that no
construction but only engineer
ing was being authorized by
the legislation. Mr.. Broyhill
stressed that Congress would
have future chances to review
the plans and added that the
agency had been purposely
stripped Of broader authority.

Senate Votes
Waterfront
Improvement

In the wake of House passage
of a bill challenging Washing
tons urban renewal procedures,
Congress today advanced a bill
providing for redevelopment of
the city's waterfront.
The House yesterday, on a
348-35 roll-call vote, passed a
bill sponsored by Representa- =
tive Rabaut. De mocrat of
Michigan. to change drastical-
ly the method of rebuilding
Washington under the Federal
urban renewal program.
The Rabaut bill, now pending
in the Senate District Commit
tee, would require urban renew
al officials to. dispose of former
slum land by public bidding in
stead OF negotiations. would
centralize responsibility with
the District Commissioners in
stead of having them share II
with the National Capital Plan
ming Commission and forbid
further redevelopment until the
Southwest rebuilding was half
finished.
The measure faces an un-
certain fate in the Senate be-
cause of the nearness Of ad-
journment. The bill is opposed
by the District urban renewal
agencies and the Eisenhower
administration.
The waterfront bill advanced
in Congress today is favored by
those urban renewal agencies,
The measure would transfer
title to the Redevelopment
Land Agency of the waterfront
property running from the foot
of Fourteenth street. S.W. to
Fort McNair. With title to the
land, the RIA could proceed
with the rebuilding of the water
front.
The Senate passed the
waterfront bill unanimously to-
day while a House District Sub
committee held a brief hearing
on it.
At the House hearing,
h ca ded by Representative
Dowdy. Democrat of Texas. the
discussion focused on providing
new quarters for waterfront
businesses displaced by the re-
building.
John r. Searles, jr., execu-
tive director of the RIA, said
laws already on the books
assure priority consideration
for displaced businesses. He
urged the committee not to
repeat that language in the
waterfront bill because it might
slow down its progress in
Congress.
Perry F. Cannon, represent
ing many of the waterfront
businessmen. said those busi-
nessmen deserve priority con-
sideration and were counting
on Congress to make sure they
got it.

The
Rambler
-. Finds TV
Is Monitored
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Federal Trade Com
mission has a room with
special equipment where TV
shows are monitored.
On learning this, the Ram
bier called on Earl w. Kint-
ner, chairman of the COM
mission, and asked to see it.
Mr.. Kintner is a very young
looking man. His dark hair
is without a silver thread.
He is from Indiana and De-
Pauw University and most
of this legal career has been
spent with the commission
in which he rose to general
counsel before becoming
commissioner and chairman.
In this case promotion
from within, which so often
advances nonentities and
yes men" to responsible
policy making positions,
seems to have worked out
pretty well.
You will remember that
when the quiz scandals broke
Mr.. Kintner was sure some
thing could be done about it
in his field, which is the ad-
vertising end, especially about
the plugs purchased by COM
mercial bribery (payola).
Unfortunately he can do
nothing about the singing
commercials unless they are
an obvious departure from
truth or decency. For the
rest of our lives we will be
victims of MR. (motivational
reSearch). We have been sold
in depth. The hidden per-
Suaders have penetrated
through the i'd into the un-
conscious. From now on
Rudolf Frimls totem pole
song from Rose Marie will
bring to mind a midwestern
beer.

tions occurred as we went
down to the monitoring room
where a woman was watch
ing an afternoon serial.
Next to the TV set was a
tape recorder to which she
transfers the commercials.

The Southeast area is bound

knots Of residents had gathered
along the street. Some were
dressed casually for the warm

taking time out from a formal
evening engagement to hear
what was to be said. Babies and
