Agency's Plans
Are Outlined
By Engineer
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
Star Staff Writer

The National Capital Trans
portation Agency's new engi-
neer predicted today that some
rapid rail transit could be in
use by 1866 if Congress gives
the go signal.
Sanley D. Forsythe said
enough of system could be
constructed in three years ito
be impressive" should Capitol
Hill approve plans and money
requests following the agency'S
submission of a blueprint late
next year.
Mr., Forsythe, during a press
conference after he was sworn
in today, said he expects the
first rapid rail line would run
from a point south of The Po-
tomac River, go through the
center of the city by subway,
and end at a point north of the
District in Maryland.
Its too early to pinpoint
any of these locations" he said.
Draft Bill Submitted
However, agency officials
have already submitted for Bu-
reau of the Budget approval a
draft bill that would provide
more than 50 million for acqui-
sition of median strip right-of-
way for rapid transit lines.
The land involved would be
along the proposed Route 95-
the third route to Baltimore
and Route 66, which will cross
northern Virginia and end at
the Potomac River. Land acqui-
sition along the Maryland route
of the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway for parking
areas and stations is also part
of the package.
The former chief engineer
for the Chicago Transit Au-
thority said "it makes good
sense" to acquire median strip
rights of way. If officials
later decided to put the rapid
transit lines somewhere else,
the medians can always be used
to widen the proposed high
ways, he said.
Although there are many un-
certainties surrounding future
transit plans, Mr.. Forsythe said,
there is one thing he is sure of:
A rapid rail system will not
be able to sustain itself entirely
on fares.
There is no place in the
United States today where this
is possible" Mr.. Forsythe add
ed. In New York, he said, the
city treasury pays more than
$100 million a year for capital
Improvements of the subway
system.
Another certainty: The rapid
rail system that will be built
here will not eliminate auto
mobiles or the need for high
ways.
Will Supplement Roads
"It will supplement the high
ways" the 60-year-old transit
expert said. Rapid transit
alone cannot do the work OF
highways"
There will be no revolution
airy chronological aspects of
the future rapid transit system,
he added I'VE will be using
existing tried and proven COM
ponents," he said.
Monorail will be studied but
probably won't be used, Mr..
Forsythe added. 80 far mono
rail is not we'll enough de-
veloped."
But what will be produced
will provide a quieter, faster
and more comfortable ride-or
at least that's the hope. Mr.,
Forsythe hopes, too, that the
more economical ride, without
traffic Illustrations, will attract
people to make use of his fu-
ture system.

When Miss billiard was IT

SHE WAS GRADUATED
from Howard University, has
been a social worker, was
trained in weaving and other
crafts and then taught
others, helped found the
Washington Home for the
Blind, put two children
through high school and
college and is now raising
two more teen-agers and has
read "iust about everything
over at the Library of Con-
gresS through their talking
records"
Her soft voice tells her
story:
81 was born in Washington.
After high school, I was try
ing to have my eyes treated
and I found out they couldn't
be benefited.
"The Vocational Rehabili-
tation Service sent me to
New York for training. They
paid for my training and the
Aid Association for the Blind
in Georgetown paid for my
room and board and gave me
spending change"
Miss billiard learned to
weave rugs and make leather
goods and when she re-
turned to Washington,
started tie a hing others.
Then in 1888, after teaching
all day, she started taking
night classes at Howard
University.
From 1888 to 1910 she took
a leave of absence from her
teaching courses to do social
work.
I'D go visit the blind and
find out what they needed.
Lots of times they'd start
saying, well, it's easy for you
to tell me what I could do,
you have your sight And
I'd say, no, I haven't Their
attitude would change right
away"
At night she continued at
Howard and in 1943 she was
graduated with a degree in
sociology. Then Miss billiard
and three other women
started the Georgetown
Home for the Blind at
Twelfth and Clifton streets

that there will -bgfrW0 main
provisions to the bill: a grant
