that Buddy and his band

Buddy is a native. He went

he was drumming for

Those brave terms, vir-

Buddy's performance at the

9096 Patronage Seen
For Rapid Transit Lines

The potential market for rapid transit the Washington
area may reach 80 cent" Of all regular
and through downtown the National Capital Transportation
Agency reported today.
The potential ridershp discovered by Philadelphia

proposed feeder bus system
would cut patronage because
passengers have a basic resent
ment against transferring.
The survey asked several
questions based ON the hypo-
thesis that this resentment
against transfers was a reaction
to present-day bus-to-bus
transfers on unprotected COR
ners, where there has been no
certainty as to when the Sec
ond vehicle would come along.
Sees Sentiment Disappearing
The results showed that the
resentment was present, but
that it would disappear with
the proposed rapid transit sys-
tenn and more convenient
transfers, the survey stated.
The new plan for transfer
ring seems highly acceptable
to Washington commuters" the
researchers reported.
The market researchers de-
scribed their new transfer sys-
tenn as to commuters follows:
"You pay regular fare at
the beginning, which includes
parking if needed. No addi-
tional fare for transfer. Long
est wait for transfer would be
five minutes in a covered
shelter. Any move from one
level to another would be by
escalator. Schedules would be
completely reliable"
The question asked was:
Tell me whether or not, under
the circumstances described,
you think you would ride a
rapid transit system using such
a method of transfer or not?
The answers we're: would
probably ride, 1913 per cent, "
and would probably not ride,
11.2 per cent"
with regard to transferring,
commuters quite consistently
pinpoint their major objec-
tons: 1t is waiting plus I'M
certainty as to when the Sec
ond vehicle will come along in
relation to the expected con-
sequence Of such delay" the
survey reported.
Other Findings
Other major findings by the
survey were:
Attenuation is not an issue,
and commuters will not care
whether their rail transit cars
have conductors or motormen
on them.
The time savings for a rail
transit system are the most
important factor in its accept
ance.
The second most important
factor is comfort - getting q
seat. having satisfactory tenn
peratures, no overcrowding,
little waiting, etc.
If trip time and comfort are
acceptable or better, cost will
tend to be accepted, the survey
reported.
Potential usage will be
"maximized" II the new rapid
transit system is a subway.

The survey "also shows that
D. C. area commuters prefer
a rapid transit system to i'm

Of almost two-to-one," the
agency said In a statement re-
leased with the survey.
Commuters preferred rail
transit over buses by a ratio of
almost three-to-one. When

those responding chose rapid
transit. the agency reported.
81 Per cent for Rail
A key question asked was:
Considering bus and rail
vehicles, if there were no diff
ferences in cost, no differences
in time or convenience, which
would you prefer?"
The answers we're: Rail We
hicle, GA per cent; bus, 22.3
per cent, and no preferences,
1853 per cent, the survey re-
ported.
The agency made its survey
public after it testified during
Congressional hearings about
the research and how it proved
that a 98-mile rail transit sys-
tenn could pay for itself.
Critics of the transportation
agency have claimed that the

Revision Due
Saving Of Homes
And Trees Sought

The Maryland State Roads
Commission will consider max
ing some small realignments in
the Capital beItway to save
more trees in Rock Greek Park
and lessen the effect of road
building on homes between
Kensington parkway and Edge
moor drive in North Chevy
Chase.
State road officials yesterday
assured an eight-member dele
cation of citizens in Baltimore
that engineers will try to make
some rights-of-way changes to
make the highway less often
sive to occupants of the homes
valued between $4,000 and
$50, 900.
Several Objections
More than 100 North Chevy
Chase citizens complained to
State road builders and Mary
land members of Congress last
month that the half mile
stretch of planned roadway
would uproot a large number
of trees, cut across five or six
homesites and adversely affect
so other residences. The SRC
hopes to award a road con-
struction contract this month.
SRC officials yesterday said
they could not comply with a
citizen request to route the belt
way througlaa marshland north
of Rock Creek, but might be
able to bypass more trees and
build farther away from homes.
Joe Rodgers, a Rockville en-
gineer engaged by the citizens,
will meet later with SRC tech
nicians in an attempt to pin
point a route acceptable to both
sides.
Citizens Hopeful
Participating in yesterdays

gineers; Mr.. Rodgers; Delegate
John P. Moore, Democrat of
Montgomery and attorney for

Maurice Donegan, a spokes-
man for the citizens, said after
the 21a-hour meeting that he
was optimistic and hopeful"
"Mr. Funk cannot guarantee
or commit himself to changes
but we feel he will do all he
can to help u.s." Mr.. Donegan

Powers Criticized


Mr.. Harsha yesterday criti-
cized the proposed legislation
for granting broad powers to
the agency.
Edwin H. Seeger, general
counsel for the agency, said
the legislation was modelled
after similar measures request
ed by the Corps of Engineers
The corps usually has very
short legislation, based on an
extensive engineering report
mentioned in the legal lam
guage, Mr.. Seeger said.
President Kennedy's five
paragraph legislation mentions
a Summary Report" which Is
43 pages long and which in TURF
states it is based on the basic
November /, 1862, report Of the
agency and its six appendices
I'm other words, the ad-
ministrator (of the transporta-
ton agency is to have COM
pletely free rein." Mr.. Harshs
said.
Mr.. Seeger said the summary
report did not mention high
ways, and added that the trans
portation agency would have
to come before the District
committees again If it changed
its transit programs.
C. Darwin Stolzenbach, ad-
ministrator of the Transports
ton agency, was asked about
the effect his agency has hac
on possible delays in the inter
state freeway program.
Seeks No Delay
I'VE have not proposed II
hold up the highway program,
Mr.. Stolzenbach replied.
The highway projects nov
postponed--the Three Sister:
bridge and Potomac freeway-
have been held up since last
spring by a presidential de.
cision, Mr.. Stolzenbach said
Representative Broyhill, Re.
publican of Virginia, said dur
ing the hearings that he per-
Sonally was in favor Of rapic
transit.
But the transportation
agency had left the subcom-
mittee In a dilemma, because
II had not resolved differences
between key agencies before
1t came before Congress, Mr.
Broyhill said.
AS a result, the rail trans.
It proposals ARE in jeopardy,
he said.

Avoid Little Sir Echo Role, Advises GOIdwater
By GAYLORD SHAW

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. JAP Republicans will win in 1864 if they avoid a Little Sir Echo" candidate and offer instead a clear alternative to President Kenne- dy's policies, Arizona Sen. Barry GoldWater said here Friday night.
 Speaking in a basketball gym nasium jammed with more than 1000 noisy supporters, Goldwater talked like man who would like to represent "the clear cut choice" he urged.
 But again the conservative Sen ator said he isn't ready to say if he will seek the Republican Pres idential nomination.
 The Republicans can and must offer this nation a choice," Gold water said. we must offer the chance for sound policies here at home and for freedom around the world. We don't want to be known as Little Sir Echo. We want real Republican voices and choices to be heard"
 The loud, happy - and at times nearly rowdy crowd greeted GoldWater's remarks with waves of thunderous applause
 GoldWater criticized with out mentioning names - Republi- cans who advocate offering "the warmed over, Watered-doWn argu- ments of the Democrats" declaring this would deny the American people "the clear-cut choice they want"
 He said it would be foolhardy and unrealistic for the party to aim only for northern cities and write off the South in it's 1864 campaign strategy

Man On Moon
 Is Boeing Project
Note: Mining Claims Forms for Sale at The Nugget

SEATTLE Sept. Is Special - The Boeing Company put four men on the moon in the vicinity of the Ural Mountains last spring. Two were astronauts; two were lunar scientists. They stayed for 90 days exploring the lunar sur face and then returned to the earth via a modified Apollo. Their names - A, B, C and D.
 Alas, it was only a paper moon company-SponSOre study on lunar exploration.
 Since conducting the study, Boe- ings Aero-Space Division has been awarded a S196,000 contract for lunar base designs by the National Aeronautics and Space Admins tration.
 The first objective of lunar ex- ploration, according to the Boeing study, should be to understand the physical and chemical nature of the moon. This could be done by manned landings at 12 carefully selected spots on the visible side of the lunar globe. Each expedi- tion would last 90 days or less. About four per cent of the earth side of the moon could be explored by the multiple landings approach. This is enough to give representa- tive information on visible moon features.
 Boeing, in it's study, planned a 90-day excursion to point on the moon within 12.4 (20 miles knD of the Ural Mountains, 18.6 miles (30 km.) of the Ripaeus Boreus Mountains and 775 miles Q25 kmD of the large equatorial cra- ter, Lansberg.
 The time assumed for this moon landing is in the early 1970s. The moon laboratory or lunar shelter is an upright cylinder di- vided into two compartments, one over the other. A Walk-in airlock allows entrance and exit without disturbing the near-earth atmos- phere inside the shelter The bot tom compartment is the living space. It doubles as storm eel lar in case of intense solar flare activity.
 At the end of the exploration period, the crew climbs aboard the | Apollo, stacks some moon rocks in the trunk and heads for home

Funds Roll In for Family Of Medgar Evers

NEW YORK R - 'I am a girl II years old" the letter began. "and I was sorry to hear that the Evers children lost their daddy because some bad men shot him dead.
 "I am sending dollar bill, which is my allowance for the week. It is not enough, I know. but it is all I have right now. ;. hope it will help little bit"
 The contribution was one of more than 1000 that have poured into the National Association for th e Advancement of Colored People for the education of Med gar w. Evers' three children.
 Evers, the NAACPs field secre- tary for Mississippi, was shot in the back outside his home in Jack son, Miss, June 12
 The fund totals S44,l63.57.
 The first contributions arrived even before the NAACP consid- cred establishing a fund.
 Miss Mildred Bond, NAACP Ad- ministrative Assistant in charge of the fund collections, says: When we came to work the day Evers was shot, we found three or four people waiting in the office. One lady said she cried when she heard the news and just had to make a contribution to help the family"
 Mrs. Evers received a letter from New York man, who wrote it the day Evers was shot. It said, in part: 'I'm white, the grand father of two boys and a girl and I'm 55 years of age. Today little of me died when I read the news of the brutal, cold -blooded murder of your husband
