Treasury
Seeks District
Responsibility
BY LEE FLOR
star staff Writer

The Treasury Department
has baked at making a direct
loan to the National Capital
Transportation Agency for con-
Struction of the proposed
Washington-area rapid tran
sit system.
Instead, the department said
the District would have to Dor.
row money, pay interest on it
and in turn lend the money to
the Transportation agency.
This means the District would
have to assume responsibility
for the estimated $482 to $500
million needed for construc.
ton, pending completion Of the
system and possible refinanc-
ing.
The transportation agency's
report to President Kennedy
last November recommended
borrowing money for construc-
ton, and the Treasury depart
ment is baking at this recon-
mendation.
In a report to the Bureau
Of the Budget commenting on
the agency's recommendations,
Treasury said it would be "ex-
tremely undesirable" to make
a direct loan to the agency.
This would set an undesirable
precedent when other large
metropolitan areas also asked
for direct loans to transit au-
thorities. the report said.
Shift in ARRANGEMENTS
The report apparently has
caused a shift in financial
planning for the transportation
agency. A device for putting
guaranteed bonds on the mar
ket earlier ~eportedly has been
considered by the Federal Bu-
reau Of the Budget. This tech
nique has its problems. and the
entire financial picture ap-
parently Is different from that
printed in last November's re-
port Of the transportation
agency.
The report states that spe-
cial care should be taken to
avoid granting the Washing
ton area any special privilege
which later could not be ;ex-
tended TO other areas under
the national transit program.
The transportation agency
was acting in good faith when
1t assured officials in January
that the Treasury Department
had agreed with the agencys
recommendations, the report
shows. The report spends two
paragraphs carefully explain
ing why Treasury changed on
specific portions Of the finan-
cial proposals.
The Treasury report was
sent TO the Budget Bureau
shortly after the Districts

Armco Steel Corp, the in
dustry's sixth biggest producer
raised prices $3.50 to 81 a ton
on selected products today. II
was the fifth company to in
crease steel prices in a week.
AS selective price increases
spread gradually through the
industry's smaller companies,
the largest producer. United
States Steel Corp, scheduled a
meeting Of its Executive Com
Imittee.
There were no advance hints
about the agenda Of today's
meeting in New York, but pre-
sumably the executives planned
to discuss prices at the regular
monthly session.
! The meeting could mark the
climax Of steel price maneuvers
by the industry and the Ken
nedy administration.
If United States Steel decides
not to raise prices, competitive
pressures could force cancela-
ton of all or most of the In
lcreases announced so far.
General Raises Otherwise
If United States Steel raises
prices. as generally expected,
increases probably viii spread
through all or most Of the
industry. Any important hold
outs. however. might limit the
increases.
Armco raised prices on some
of the same products affected
by increases announced earlier
by four other companies. But
Armco varied the pattern SUBJ
stantially by also cutting prices
IS q ton on three steel wire
products.
This combination of in
creases and reductions, reduc-
ing the net rise, was in line
with q general Kennedy ad-
ministration policy envisioning
upward and downward adjust
ments within q framework OF
overall price stability In the
ECONOMY.
The President last week said
he would oppose general,
across-the-board steel price in
creases. but indicated approval
Of selective price changes in
response to supply and de-
mand.
