"Mr. Briggs was not an en-

Distressing" Says Floyd
Yesterday, Council President
John A. Floyd called the dis
missal very distressing"
DR.. Thomas M. Wilson, coun-
Gil vice president, said the
council terminated Mr.. Briggs
contract last Tuesday because
County Manager Mason A
Butcher was pressing members
for a showdown decision on his
ultimatum either he or Mr.
Briggs would have to go.
"Mr. Butcher wanted to know
right then and there what we
were going to do" DR.. Wilson
said.
He explained that the coun-
Gil had assured Mr.. Hiser no
votes would be taken no major
appointments such as three
judgeships in the Peoples Court
that expired April 30.
Mr.. Briggs had been a con-
troversial figure ever since he
was hired by the council Janu-
ary 8 at $25,0 900 a year to help
Republican council members
carry out their campaign econ
omy pledges.
Some county officials felt
Mr.. Butchers authority was
being usurped by Mr.. Briggs
when the fiscal aide prompted
the council to cut $2.6 million
from budget proposals and
thereby pave the way for a
10-cent cut in the tax rate.
Republicans Wilson and Mrs.
Mary A. Hepburn, along with

I'm for Briggs. He was the
brains of the whole county and
was doing a terrific job"
Republican council spokes-
men earlier said they had no
criticism of Mr.. Briggs work,
but that the matter boiled
down to a personality clash be-
tween the fiscal adviser and
Mr.. Butcher. Also, they said
other top level administration
workers had threatened to
leave if Mr.. Briggs were re-
tanned.
In the face of reports that

Thirty-two Naval Reserve
officers learned a valuable
lesson this week: Never trust
the Navy.
The officers showed up Mon
day for what was to be a rou-
tine class on fallout shelter
problems at the Naval Medical
Research Institute in Bethesda.
With a sly grin, the Navy
marched them into its fallout
shelter behind the Naval Hos
pital, and informed them that
with their permission they were
going to study the problems
first-hand.
The Navy gave the reservistS
the idea that they might spend
their entire two weeks active
duty underground in the shell
ter.
A doctor and a psychologist
went along to study the groups
reactions. They knew the ac-
tual length OF the test, but
were sworn to secrecy.
Technicians rigged the radi-
alton gauge outside the shelter,
by which the guinea pigs we're
supposed TO be able to figure
out when 1t would be safe" TO
come out.
The figuring showed Sunday.
The men actually came out
yesterday.
The tipoff on their early re-
lease came yesterday at l2:45
pm, when two rear admirals
and a half dozen aides in crisp
khaki uniforms barged jovially
into the fallout shelter. The
men knew something was up.
And sure enough, a half
hour later they emerged grim
ming happily from the fallout
shelter to face reporters and
television cameras. III there
had been a savvy public rela-
tions man in the group, they
would have known their test

Morse Asks Probe
Of Transit Profit
Letter by Chalk
Says Congress
Has Been Unfair
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

Senator Morse yesterday
called for hearings on COM
plants by D. C. Transit Sys-
tenn that it has been Short
changed on profit promises
from Congress.
The compay's basic case is
that regulatory officials have
held the transit systems prof
| its below the level intended
under its congressional fran
chise.
The Senate District Commit
tee would be authorized to
make a full-scale investigation
and hold hearings on the COM
plants by company officials
under a resolution introduced
yesterday afternoon by Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon.
A letter spelling out the
transit systems arguments that
it has suffered unfair treat
ment, which was sent by o.
Roy Chalk, company president.
to a number Of Congressman,
was made public by the Sena-
tor.
In his Senate speech, Sem
ator Morse did not flatly COM
NIT himself on the question.
But he indicated that he was
sympathetic to Mr.. Chalk's
general position.
The company took over
Washington's transit system
under a 1856 congressional
franchise. The company was
supervised by the District
Public Utilities Commission until
1860. Since that time, the
transit systems operations
have been under the super
vision of an area-wide regu-
latory agency, the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission.
Mr.. Chalk's letter, dated May
2, began:
after seven years Of faith
full and productive efforts to
convert Washington's transit
system from a rundown, ineffi-
cient condemnation of out
moded vehicles to the most
modern and esthetically pleas
ing all-bus transit system in
the world-T believe I have
earned the right to>seek your
help"
Mr.. Chalk said that the two
major inducements for accept
ance of franchise stipulations
we're:
/. That D. c. Transit Sys-
tenn could have profit formula
of at least 612 per cent, based
on annual gross operating
revenue.
2. That Congress would MAIN
tain "a continuing interest in
the welfare" of the company
and its investors if the transit
system did a good job.
The latest rate order, issued
last April set the profit figure
at 4.87 per cent, he said.
In his speech, Senator Morse
said that Congress had made
no legal commitment on the
allowable profit figure. He SAID,
however, that there is mo doubt
in my mind that we held out
a carrot-that carrot was a
I612 per cent return"
There was no mention in
Senator's speech, or in Mr..
Chalk's letter. of the company's
recent setback in the courts.
The Supreme Court last Monday
refused to hear an appeal on a
lower courts finding that a
1860 increase from 20 to 25
cents in cash fares should be
rolled back.
