Chalk Urges U. S. Aid
To Mass I ronsit Firms

Senator Capehart said.
II certainly share your atti-
tude," Senator williams re-
piled. I'VE see the bill as q
saver Of private carriers, not a
destroyer"
He explained that the $3.50
million revolving loan fund and
the $75 million grant program
were aimed at public agencies
to meet charges that the Fed
eral Government otherwise
would be cutting through local
governments to private carriers
directly. This seemed to vio-
late some States rights, Sena-
tor Williams said.
Stresses Transit Need
Mr.. Chalk said mass trans
portation and urban renewal
are inseparable.
Yet billions Of dollars are
being spent for massive suburbs
and urban development without
taking into account the tens OF
hundreds of millions required
for mass transportation, he told
subcommitteemen.
He warned that in its present
form the legislation will inevi-
tably result in public ownership
for all transit equipment and
facilities in areas where urban
Iredevelopment programs result
in the construction or acquisi-
ton Of new equipment or facili.
ties"
This will be true, he explained
because the bill requires such
new equipment purchased with
funds lent by the Federal Gov
ernment to be publicly owned
Private carriers could lease
that equipment, under the bill.
But MIR. Chalk insisted that
private enterprise has the
imagination and the know-how
to buy or build It's own equip
ment.

State Charges Justice Department
Intervention Exceeds Authority
Attorneys File
Written Briefs
In School Case

Written memoranda opposing
and supporting the Justice De-
partment attempt to intervene
in the Prince Edward county
school segregation case and the
right of the county to establish
private schools and support them
with tax funds were filed last
week in Richmond Unite d
States District Court.
The memoranda are legal ar
guments by attorneys for both
sides. They were requested by
Federal Judge Oren R. Lewis
earlier this month when he
heard oral arguments on the is
sues.
When he heard the attorneys
on May 8 and 9, he requested
them to file written briefs sup
porting their contentious within
Is days. The Court announced
then that decision would be
forthcoming soon after the filing
OF the briefs. This could bring
Judge Lewis decision during the
month of June.

some by 10-foot drifts. and the
dairy farmers in some cases
have been forced to dump milk.
Observers of the Weather
Bureaus River Services Section
said the outlook was favorable
for slow melting of the Poto-
mac River snow pack and ice
cover.
If the thaw continues at a
slow rate, the snow in the river
basin should run off gradually
and avert heavy flooding.
Even more important is a
softening of the river ice, meas
uring from 6 to 8 inches thick
on the upper river to a foot or
more in tidewater. Gradual
softening may prevent a heavy
ice jam that could be damag-
ing to shipping and conStruc-
tion interests.
Temperatures here for a "a
hour period ending at 7 am
remained almost static, an un-
usual condition caused by a
low cloud cover. The high be-
tween am. and 7 pm. yester-
day was 33 degrees, and the
low after 7 pm. was 80 degrees

Southern States. An example
was Nashville, Tenn, where rs

For the first time in nearly
a month, the Washington area
is due for a period of above
norm temperatures, the
Weather Bureau forecast today.
Not since January 18 has the
area enjoyed something a little
more warming than sub
normal, mostly freezing atmos-
phere. The five-day forecast
anticipates temperatures one
to four degrees above the nor
NAL high and low of As and 20
degrees.
Under partly sunny skies,
this should have the effect of
melting a large part of the
snow remaining from six heavy
falls.
The last Of these Saturday
night left an official 3.3 inches
at National Airport and more
in other sectors. This brought
the Weather Bureaus airport
accumulation for the season to
40.3 inches, only a fraction be-
low the 1878 mark.
A thin sheet of ice hampered
morning motorists today.
Montgomery and Fairfax Coun-
ties were hit by a rash of minor
accidents before heavier traffic
and rising temperature COM
bined to turn the ice to slush.
All area schools opened to-
day, but luckless Loudoun
County was shut down for the
18th day this winter. Many
