Willis Due to Replace
Walter as Chairman
By the Associated Press

Quiet, Woodworking Repre-
sentative Edwin E. Willis, So,
a Democrat from the Bayou
country of Louisiana, becomes
chairman of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties with the death of Repre-
sentative Francis E. Walter,
Democrat, Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Willis has been acting
chairman of the committee
since early this year as a result
of Mr.. Walters illness and the
death of Representative Clyde
Doyle, Democrat, California.
A lawyer who prefers to do
most Of his work and talking
in committee, rather than on
the House floor, Mr.. Willis now
is serving his eighth term in
the House.
He has worked closely with
Mr.. Walter in the past on COM
mittee matters and says that
under his leadership there will
be no change in committee
policy.

Committee since he first came
to Congress in l949. With the
death Of Mr.. Walter, he ad-

fourth Democrat on that group.
One of his big interests in
Congress has been tidelands
legislation. This involves own
ership Of the offshore, sub

siderable Importance to Louisi-

Mr.. Willis presently is chief
Louisiana negotiator in dis
cussions with the Interior and
Justice Departments as to the
exact location of the Louisiana
coast line-a difficult line to
agree upon because of the
many indentations, bays, is
lands and shifting sands in the
area.
He also is author of a bill
which would give Louisiana -
once its coast line is settled
ownership Of offshore, sub
merged lands out l0la miles
from that coast line.
The Supreme Court some
years ago decreed that Texas
and Florida's ownership extends
l012 miles but that the state
boundaries of Louisiana and
other Gulf Coast States extend
only to the three-mile line.

ing in offensive, his brilliantly
planned and skillfully executed
attacks" with the PIT boats he
commanded in Philippine wa
tiers. His command is credited
with sinking or damaging a
notable" number of japanese
ships and planes.
He has a long list of other
decorations, both Navy and
Army as we'll as foreign for
his exploits in Pacific action

known to the Nations Capital
at large. He had repeatedly
made millions in real estate.
He was president Of a then nom
scheduled airline. But he had
no previous experience in the
urban transit industry.
Given Hearing
Since 1866, however. he has
come into control Of a far
flung empire Of businesses,
ranging from the largest Span
ish language newspapers in
New York to an international
railroad In Central America and
multi million-dollar real estate
developments in Washington's
Southwest.
Last month, when he claimed
d. G. Transit was not earning
the profits 1t was entitled to
under its franchise, Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon,
introduced a resolution to give
Mr.. Chalk a hearing on his
complaint. In a nutshell this
was it:
He had made q bargain -
D. C.. Transit would give the
community good transportation,
and Congress would look after
the welfare of the company and
its investors.
Mr.. Chalk claims to have
more than lived up to his end
of the bargain. after seven
years of faithful and produc-
tive efforts to convert Wash
ington's transit system from a
rundown, inefficient conglom-
Grafton of outmoded vehicles to
the most modern and aestheti-
cally pleasing all-bus transit
system In the world-I believe
I have earned the right to seek
your help" he said in his letter
of May 2 to Congressman who
were around when he came to
town.
Called Adequate
Mr.. Chalk's plea for more
profits, If granted, would al
most certainly mean more fare
increases andior further sub
sides involving millions over
the remaining Is years Of his
franchise. The legislators will
be looking to see Just how
much improved service D. C..
Transit has given, and what it
has received in financial re-
wards.
Mr.. Chalk claims D. C..
Transit has made Washing
tons transit system second to
none, be it municipality or pri-
vately owned" Somewhat less
enthusiastically, a recent Gen.
eral Services Administration
survey designed to measure the
mass transportation needs of
the thousands of Federal and
District government workers
said that mass transit service
within a five-mile radius of
downtown - the area princi-
pally served by D. c. Transit
was generally adequate" It
cited the need for more ex-
press runs and other service
improvements needed to at
tract more riders.
A vocal minority Of riders
have also registered their COM

unjustified, said that II certain
improper charges to the fare
payers were eliminated, profits
would have been shown to be
substantially larger"
Testimony in the recent fare
hearings showed that the COM
pany has consistently paid its
dividends, made a profit of
about SIS million, or five per
cent of gross operating revenues
last year, and has nearly 81
million cash lying inactive in
New York City area banks.
The company's main case for
a fare increase was based on
wage increases under a new
three-year labor contract and
raises to salaried employees.
The Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Commission
found the increase requested
lin excess Of" the company's
financial requirements. 1t
granted an increase in the
token rate from 20 to 2lH
cents instead of the Is cents
the company sought.
Franchise Criticized
Regardless of these contro-
versies, Mr.. Chalk is now point
ing to a provision in D. c.
Transit's franchise which says
that the company should be
given "the opportunity to earn"
a minimum Of 61a per cent
profit on investment or gross
operating revenues. The latter
figure is the base against which
the regulatory agencies have
measured profit percentages
since 1860. Under this formula,
they have found lesser per-
centages, ranging between four
and five, as reasonable" and
sufficient to cover the COM
pany's financial needs. To date,
the company has not been able
to convince the courts to upset
the granting Of less than 61a
per cent, in spite Of the fran
chise provision.
D. C. Transit's franchise con-
tains provisions which have
been variously labelled as a
"giveaway" by the most severe
critics and liberal" by others.
Those who supported the con-
cessions, such as the 612 per
cent clause and relief from
motor vehicle fuel and real
estate taxes, claimed that they
were necessary and proper to
assure continued private opera
ton Of transit service.
When Mr.. Chalk arrived in
Washington to try to buy out
the old Capital Transit Co.,
the community was in the grip
Of a transit crisis. During the
latter 1950S dissatisfaction with
the Capital Transit manage
ment come to a head. A Senate
investigating committee re-
ported in 1854 that there were
strong indications" the man
agement was trying to milk"
the company and then dump it
on the government.

Meanwhile. the Capital Tran

Louis E. Wolfson, was claiming
that the company was not
making enough money and in

came the strike of 1855 which
crippled transit service for So
days. This was the last straw.
Congress revoked the COM
pany's franchise and gave the
District a year to search for
a new private operator. The
