gional planning groups which
have reviewed earlier transit
suggestions for routings.
Flexibility Seen Needed
Asked about the planning and
review process for the 1853
plan, Mr.. Wells said, Its not
possible to set up an iron clad
plan.
planning has to be flexible
1t is a question Of evaluatine
the situation as it develops"
The plan under consideration
now calls for the downtown dis
tributor loop from Union Sta
ton to be built first. From q
ring of downtown stations
workers should be able to reach
offices within five minutes walk
from any subway station.
The thirteen routes under
consideration. keyed to numbers
on the accompanying map. are:
/. From just north Of Rock
vile, along the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, using partial
railroad trackage and right-of-
way, to Union Station.
2. In Prince Georges County,
a rail line in the median strip
of Route 95 from Cherry Hill
and Sellman roads, to a major
subway route to Union Station.
3. Use of Pennsylvania Rail-
road for route partially along
John Hanson highway.
4. An express bus route from
Marlboro pike and Suitland
parkway. down the parkway
to a subway station near the
AnacoStia River for transfer to
the downtown subway loop.
5. A rail line, without the
Southeast Expressway recon-
mended in 1859, from the Elev-
enth street bridge connection
with the downtown loop to
Rosecroft Raceway. The ex-
pressway would start at the
raceway, extend into the coun-
ty for express bus connections.
! 6. A short rail line along a
Baltimore & Ohio spur through
the Anacostia- Boiling urban re-
newal area to the Naval Re-
search Laboratory.
Z. A rail line along the Rich
mond. Fredericksburg & Po-
tomac Railroad, through Alex
andria to Franconia road.
8. An express bus route along
Shirley highway from Duke
street to a station with the rail
line along the r. F. & P.
/ 9. A rail line in the median
strip OF Route Sc from Fairfax
City to a tunnel crossing the
Potomac near the Lincoln
Memorial.
10. A rail route from Dulles
International Airport, along the
access road to a station on
route number nine.
All passengers on routes
seven. eight, nine and ten, all
from Northern Virginia, would
join to cross the Potomac
through the subway tunnel.
II. An express bus route US

Memorial parkway from Cabin
John, along the north bank of
the Potomac River, to a subway
station just north of the down.

to subway.

Smallpox Scare
DELAYS AirIiner

NEW YORK, Sept. l (AP).-
Idlewild Airport had a third
smallpox scare in three weeks
today-but this one lasted just
one hour and IS minutes.
The United States Health
Service at the airport was re-
luctant to give details.
However, it was learned that
1873 passengers and the crew
who arrived on a BOAC flight
from London were held in quar-
antine when a rash on a child
passenger was noticed.
The east wing of the Interna-
tional Arrivals Building was
sealed off while officials
checked to determine whether
the rash was smallpox. 1t was
determined to be a heat rash.

numbers of workers who ma.
use a transit system.
II it is assumed that tn,
highways recommended in 1875!
are to be built, fewer workers
will use the transit system.
But if fewer highways arr
built. more workers will usl
the transit system.
Alternatives Considered
The four-year study con
sidered three alternative sys
TENS, one of which containet
a nine-rail rapid transit sys
tenn.
In testimony before tn
Senate District Appropriation
Subcommittee last month, c
Darwin Stolzenbach, admins,
traitor of the Transportation
Agency, criticized the aSSump.
tons of the four-year study.
In considering the nine-rail
rapid transit system, the PLAN
ners assumed that all high
ways would be completed, in
cluding the controversial Inner
Loop and three freeways
through the Northern part Of
the District.
The nine-rail routes were
assumed to exist within median
strips of the highway system
1t was assumed that railroads
would not be used. Traffic fore
casters concluded that the
overwhelming majority Of work
ers would prefer bus or auto
mobile travel.
Mr.. Stolzenbach said that the
planners should have examined
the rail rapid transit system
without highways, and with
vigorous examination of alter
natives. The planners coulc
have considered whether a more
extensive rail system could take
the place Of some of the free
ways.
Inner Loon Long Planned
The Inner Loop with variou:
notifications has been planned
since 1914. Last November Mr.
Stolzenbach asked the Nationa,
Capital Planning Commission
to defer approval on two key
projects, pending a last over
all examination of regiona
transportation needs. He wa:
turned down by the Com.
mission, after making these re-
marks:
"The proposed future high
way program is based on the
1859 Transportation Plan. Thai
plan was not predicated on 9
desire for a strong central city
nor was it designed to curt
urban sprawl. To the contrary
it assumed that the land USE
trends of the past would con-
tinue on into the indefinite
future"
Mr.. Stolzenbach said that the
key issue was not highways
versus transit. The issue is what
combination of transportation
facilities will help create g
strong, healthy region, he said.
Mr.. Stolzenbach's position
has been that he has never at
tackled the highway program
and that he is just asking for
time to complete regional
transportation planning.

HAVANA, Sept. CAP).-
Cuba met White House charges
Of a Cuban gunboat attack on
a Navy plane with strong de-
mails and countercharges to-
day. s.r
Prime Minister Fidel Castro
said in a statement to news
papers the charges were "abSo-
lutely false" and were intend
ed to cover up continuous ag-
gressive acts by the United
States.
The Armed Forces Ministry
headed by the Prime Minister'S
brother Raul, issued a commu-
nique charging that United
States aircraft committed the
147th, 148th and 149th incur
sions into Cuban air space since
July /. The ministry further
alleged that five shots were
fired by United States soldiers
from Guantanamo Bay nava,
base in the direction of Cubar
territory on Wednesday. The
air violations were said to have
taken place on Thursday and
Friday.
The White House said Friday
two Cuban patrol boats opened
fire with machine guns on a
United States Navy plane
Thursday while it was over in
ternational waters Is miles of
the Cuban coast northeast o.
Havana. Three naval reservists
on a training flight were not
injured. The White House
warned that American ship,
and planes had been author
lied to use all means to protect
themselves henceforth.
The Communist newspaper
Hoy, reporting Mr.. Castro,s de.
nial in big headlines, said thu
alleged incident and the White
House threat to shoot back wal
"only a pretext to attack US.
Mr.. Castro said Cuba wa.
unafraid of such "bruta
threats" and added:
IF the United States Armed
Forces attack Cuba they viii,
have to come ready to perish.
Real incidents provoked by
Cuba will never occur" he as
serted, but he said the United
States lacks scruples."
The plane incident, coming
only a week after two small,
boats carrying anti-Castro Gu
ban students shelled a suburban
Havana hotel housing Com
muniSt-bloc technicians, was
used by propaganda in an
effort to stir up jitters over a
possible invasion attempt from
the United States.
Outwardly, however, Havana
appeared calm and there was
little evidence Of unusual ten
sion.
The regime ignored uncon-
firmed reports of new landings
by counter-revolutionary bands
in central and eastern Cuba
But Havana traffic policemen
carried submachine guns in
addition to their usual arms.

The Navy airmen made these
statements in a press confer

Press reported. but when they
got to Washington they said
they had been debriefed by De-
tense Department officials and
told not to discuss the incident.
They did say, however. that
the plane was not hit.

Poor Public Relations

In the Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare television Sc
ries physicians have most effective public relations
tool working for them.
It is unfortunate that the good will and respect
engendered by these programs are countered by the
irritation and resentment arising from the American
Medical Associations adamant opposition to Social Sc
ctrity financing of health care for the aged.
The need for such program, as advanced by
President Kennedy has been evident for some time as
an increasing proportion Of the nations population is
reaching the age OF 65
Moreover the Kerr-Mis medical assistance bill
passed by Congress two years ago with the express
intention of forestalling action the Social Security
medical proposal has proved an utter failure.
recent report by the Health Education, and
Welfare Department revealed that less than l per
cent of our aged is being helped by the Kerr-Mills
legislation although it will cost $215 million during the
current fiscal year.
This measure which was supported by the ANA, is
limited almost exclusively to aged persons who must
show they cannot meet medical costs Thus not only
establishes degrading means test but completely
ignores the needs Of those whose incomes, while ade-
quate to pay normal medical bills would be exhausted
by prolonged illness.
The AMAs cry of socialism, applied to the
Presidents health pan is without foundation. The adj
minstrations proposal does nothing than allow
persons to put money aside now when they are pro-
ductve for the time when they old and sick. This
would be financed by small increase in the Social Sc
curity tax.
Freedom Of choice in selecting physicians would
remain unchanged. Payments would be made by the
individual patients just they now. The relation
ship between patient and doctor would be the same
AS matter of fact many doctors who now de-
vote considerable part of their time to charity work
would stand much better chance of getting paid for
their services.
Just how all of this would constitute socialism is
something the ANA has failed to explain If organized
medicine has any concern for its public image, it
should stop crying wolf unless it prove the wolf is
there
