TransitAgency
Advances

Legislation for a single Wash
ington area transit regulatory
body has passed its first hurdle.
A House Judiciary subcom-
mittee yesterday approved a
bill sponsored by Representa-
tive Foley, Democrat of Mary
land. which would give con-
gressiopal sanction to a Mary
1and-Virginia District regula-
tory compact. S.
e The Foley measure, which
next will be acted on by the
full Judiciary unit. was changed
in some details. mostly techni-
cal, according to committee
sources.
=. D. c. Transit System strongly
opposed the legislation at a
recent hearing, claiming ii
threatens the company's rights
under its congressional fran
-chise giving it a District mass
transit monopoly. Com pany
lawyers also have contended
that the proposed compact
raises serious legal and con-
stitutional questions.
The Maryland and Virginia
legislatures already have ap-
proved the compact, which Dis
trict Commissioner Robert E.
Mclaughlin and others have
called important as a first step
toward better area public
transportation facilities.
The legislation has yet to be
taken up in the Senate.

effect, precluded the possibility
that local school boards could
assume control of pupil place
ment in time to make assign
ments for the coming school
year.
1t did so by refusing to dis
cusS regulations school boards
would have to follow to make |
assignments rather than let the
State Pupil Placement Board
Continue to supervise them.
-
Let Deadline Pass
State law specifies that 10
calities choosing to assume con-
troll of pupil placement must
receive applications from par
ents by next Tuesday.
But the Board of Education
deferred until April % any
further consideration of rules
by which school boards must
abide in making assignments.
It also failed to issue the nee
eSsary application forms.
Leonard G. Muse of Roanoke,
State board president, said
board members had not had
time to study proposed regu-
lationS for localities prior to
yesterdays meeting.
Suits Held Up
Mr.. Hill said desegregation
suits have been withheld in the
hope that localities would gain
full control of their school Sys-
TENS. He asserted that now
there is no question" that le-
gal action against segregation
will be intensified.
Attorney Frank D. Reeves
said he will press actions now
pending in Federal courts
against school boards in Alex
andria and Arlington and
Fairfax Counties. He added
that more applications doubt
less will be filed by Negro chill
-dren seeking entry to pre-
dominantly white schools.
"We are determined that
the State, through any of it's
agencies, will not deny any
student ris constitutional right
to a desegregated education" 4"
he said.
Arlington Awaits Rules
The Arlington School Board
on March II requested the
State Board of Education to ad-
wise it of regulations which
would govern local pupil
placement.
Under Virginia law, school
boards on March theoretically
gained the right to assign stu
dents provided they requested
such authority and the local
governing body approved. But
the Arlington board was fear
full of exercising this option
until it learned what rules II
would have to follow.
1T would be like flying blind, I"
Chairman Lee Bean said.
=. The State Board of Educa-
-hon's delay evoked criticism to-
day from Arlington and Fair
fax officials who have made
clear their intention of taking
control of pupil placement as
soon as feasible.

today postponed further talks
on restoring trade relations

The chief Western negotia-
tor, Kurt Leopold, met in the
East sector Of Berlin for the
third time in as many days
with Heinz Behrend of the East
German Trade Ministry.
Informed sources in Bonn
said basic agreement had
been reached for a renewal of
trade relations on January i.
These sources said the East
Germans had given assurance
that police checks on the bor-
der between West and East
Berlin would be reduced grad
ually. The West Germans had
announced cancellation as Of
December 81 of their trade
agreement with the East Ger
manS-worth half a billion dol
lars annually-because of Com
munist interference with the
travel Of West Germans to Ber-
lin. -
On Monday the Communist
regime threatened to tear up
all existing agreements on
travel to Berlin if a new trade
deal was not concluded by New
Years eve. Yesterday the Of
fetal Communist newspaper,

down the threat, saying that
it did not mean q new blockade

man officials generally viewed
the threat as an attempt to
