nation in favor Of its own
members. The result Is not
necessarily restrictive to
trade in general. But quite
certainly, whatever trade
policies may be adopted by
the United States. the de-
velopment of the community
over the next few years will
greatly increase competition
facing American industrial
products in European
markets.
What Mr.. Kennedy and his
economic experts are trying
to avoid Is the formation Of
two rival economic blocs in
Europe and the United
States. each surrounded by
external tariff walls and con-
fronting each other in poten-
TALLY disastrous competition
throughout the world. What
he apparently has in mind is
a gradual reduction of tariffs
on both sides leading ulti-
mately to a free trade area
which would include the
whole North Atlantic Com
munity. This solution, If it
works, would allow the United
states to share in the benefits
Of the Common Market for
its industrial exports while
avoiding political commit
ments which the market i'm
poses on its own members.
Though the idea undoubt-
edly has merit, it also in
spires a certain amount of
wry humor in Europe. Five
years ago the British also set
out to form a free trade area
as a means Of accommodate
ing the Common Market. The
move was blocked by France,
with at least the tacit ap-
proval Of other European
members and the United
States. Especially for the Brit
ish there Is a certain irony
in the fact that Mr.. Kennedy
should now be relaunching
the idea Of an Atlantic free
trade area at the very mo-
ment when they have capitu-
lated and asked for full
membership in the Common
Market. -..''.5-
II the free trade area plan
once again Is rejected, how
ever, the solution that was
open to Britain hardly ap-
plies in the. case Of the United
States. To suggest full mem
bership Of the United States
in the European Common
Market is to overlook a num-
Der of vital political implica-
tions which the membership
involves.

From the American view
point it would mean taking

will logically lead some day

PARIS

One of President kennedy's
problems, it is often said. is
that the chickens ranging
from Cuba to Laos and West
Berlin started coming home
to rooSt just about the time
that he took over the hem
house.
The process seems likely to
go on for some time. Today,
the biggest chicken of them
all-the European Common
Markets beginning to try
its wings. At its present rate
Of growth it should be ready
for serious business along
about the middle Of Mr.. Ken
nedy's second term.
AS recent activity in Wash
ington indicates. it is none
too soon TO start preparing
for the day. Former Secre-
tary Of State Christian Her
ter and William L. Clayton,
a Truman undersecretary of
state, have made a report to
Congress. Secretary of the
Treasury Dillon and Under
secretary of State George
Ball have deliver speeches.
President Kennedy himself
devoted a few words to the
subject at his last press con-
ference.
A Challenge to U. S.
In each case the gist was
the same:
In a few years, the Euro
pean Common Market will
present a revolutionary chal-
lenge to Americas position
as the dominant economic
power Of the Western world.
To meet this challenge-to
preserve its prosperity and
improve its competitive po-
sition-revolutionary reforms
in the American economy and
foreign economic policy are
urgently called for.
1t Is not hard to see the
reason for concern. Today,
under the enthusiastic prod
ding of the United States
some 800 million of the
worlds most productive
people are well launched in
the process Of organizing
themselves into q united and
centrally controlled trading
area. Internal trade barriers
among the member countries
are being gradually abol-
ished. Com mon barriers
against outsiders are being
agreed on.
In Europe, the economic
force of the Common Market
is already making itself pow
erfully felt. Britain, after
several years Of fighting the
six-nation group composed
of France, Germany, Italy.
Belgium, Holland and Lux
embourg, has now applied
for full membership. A num-
ber Of other countries are
expected to follow suit. With
in a few years the prospect
is that virtually the entire
productive capacity Of West
ern Europe will be modified
in a single massive bloc.
Under the best OF ctrcum-
stances, it will not be easy
for the United States to come
to terms with this new and
powerful economic force. To
recognize the challenge and
start necessary reforms at
home are essential first steps.
But they are no more than
that. And as the British dis
covered to their considerable
dismay. the problem Of build
ing what has been hopefully
called a trade partnership"
with the Common Market is
not a simple one.
It is not simple, first Of
all, because the Common

3. Harrison Kahn, attorney
for the AB&W Transit Co.
maintained today that opposi-
tion to a requested two-and-a-
half-cent fare increase for Vir-
ginia-D District commuters is
based on opinion and not on
facts"
The facts, Mr.. Kahn said,
show a two-and-a- half cent
increase in the company's inter-
State fare-to affect some 30
600 area residents-is not out
Of line at all. and in fact with
out it AB&W's income in 1851
will be about is per cent less
than it was in 1860.
The occasion for the AB&W
argument was a hearing on the
fare-increaSe proposal at the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The hearing is being con-
Quoted before the Metropolitan
Area Transit Commission.
1t was the company's day in
court to cross-examine Melvin
E. Lewis, Mates chief ac-
countant.
Mr.. Lewis Indicated in his
testimony yesterday that the
increase in fares for AB6SW
passengers who cross the vir-
ginia and District lines is
unwarranted.
The argument appears to
center around Mr.. Lewis con-
tention that the company would
not lose many customers since
the Northern Virginia area
population is rapidly increas-
ing, and his argument that
company losses in terms of bus
depreciation need not be as
great as AB&W estimates.
Fares for passengers who do
not cross the Virginia line into
the District while riding an
AB&W bus are not involved in
the current argument. Those
fares were increased last
April II.
Mr.. Kahn argued today that
the company will lose more
passengers than the commits
sion expects, and pointed out
that loss of customers due to
fare resistance" is recognized
everywhere as a factor in in
creasing transit costs. He in
dicated that the formula now
being used by MATC is too low
for AB&W because it is a
suburban line and not a line in
q densely populated city.
Referring to depreciation of
buses, Mr.. Lewis testified that
a bus has a life span of IL years
which would justify a lengthier
depreciation schedule. The COM

Transit Choice

President Kennedy's designation of
the top administrator of the National
Capital Transportation Agency is clearly
political. Under our system, however,
this is not unusual. The real test will
be in his performance.
The new administrator g Darwin
Stolzenbach, an economist and senior
staff member of the John Hopkins Uni
versity Operations Research Office, is no
stranger to the purposes of the agency.
!, A Kensington resident, he also is well
acquainted with Washington area plan
ming problems in general through his
leadership in the Montgomery County
!1Citizens' Planning Association. Last
year, as chairman of central commit
tee representing civic groups throughout
the region, he vigorously supported the
congressional legislation which created
the agency, charging it with the plan
ming and development of a rapid transit
system for metropolitan Washington.
AS a citizen-planner, however, Mr..
o Stolzenbach has been frequent and
often bitter critic of Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
ofacials-public officials whose support
