transportation agency's latest
forecasting technique, the re-
port states.
Furthermore, the agency as
sumed that transit use would
increase every year after 1880.
This is contrary to experience
in other cities, which shows
transit use leveling off or de-
Ginning as transit systems grow
older, the report states.
The analysis is the result of
several months study by Mar
tin Wohl. one of the authors of
the controversial Meyer Wohl-
Kahn report submitted to the
White House last fall.
Comparative Costs
The Meyer-Wohl-K ain report
was a study of comparative
costs of transit systems which
suggested that bus systems may
provide more flexibility for the
future and that rail transit is
geared to cities of the past.
While Mr.. Wohl's new report
is not an official document in
dorsed by any Federal agency,
some of the work that went into
it was done by Federal Ggen-
cies officially requested to re-
view the transportation n
agency's recommendations.
Mr.. Wohl turned his review
in to the White House Office of
Technology and also sent copies
to Charles A. Horsky, President
Kennedy's special adviser on
Washington area affairs.
Called Top COnsuItant
The report is significant be-
cause Mr.. Wohl is regarded as
one of the top transit and high
way consultants in the Nation.
He was hired as a consultant
by the transportation agency in
the early stages of its planning
program, and also worked on
other consultant services used
in the transportation agency's
work.
The Wohl analysis was shown
to agencies engaged in their
review Of the transportation
a gency's recommendations,
photographically reprinted and
given wide circulation. The an
alySis has never been released
officially.
The transportation agency
did not make any overall eval-
uation of different proposals or
any systematic evaluation of
operation, service and costs be-
fore turning in its report to
President Kennedy, Mr.. Wohl
said.
I'm short, the Meta study
compared today's bus transit
technology with tomorrow's
rail transit service, hardly a
comparable basis of evalua-
tion," Mr.. Wohl continued.
The conclusion that the
agency had grossly overesti-
mated" its revenues by around
80 per cent is based on ad-
justments to the agency's mod

When he spent the last
several weeks patching up
his sidewalk with cement,
he didn't suggest that any
one do the same. Nor did he
criticize the District High
way Department for helping
put the blemishes there, in
the first place.
He surely knew that some
one, somewhere had decided
big blobs Of black asphalt
should be used to patch up
the city's concrete sidewalks.
But he just dug out the as
phalt, replaced it with con-
crete, and never said a

Which reminds us of the

And also, we think, life
would be pleasanter II there

Prescription
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

CoMEHow OR OTHER, no
one seems to have the
time to bother about small
: things.
Yet, so far as we can tell,
it's the seemingly insignifi-
cant details that count the
most.
Almost anybody, for exam
pie, would like to be an i'm
portant diplomat in a big
world capital or at the u. N.
But there doesn't seem to
be much glamor in just
plain being diplomatic to
your neighbor down the
street.
People with their eye on
the ball know it's hard to
make a great career in a
small town. So they shove
off to the big city mainly
because it's big.
Writing a thin little book
doesn't offer much challenge
to a writer. Nor does choosing
a humble subject. Usually
the bigger the book, the bet
ter it sells. And the weight
ier the subject, the more
Impressive the writer seems
10 be.
Maybe we're wrong, but
it seems that a lot of big de-
scisions are being made by
people who could do a better
Job If they sought out less
lordly issues over which to
preside.
Our neighbor, DR.. Stone,
unconsciously gave us this
Idea, and we'd like to tell
you briefly how he has made
himself great, in our eyes,
by devoting himself to
details.

THE PEOPLE who consider

THE PEOPLE who consider
the beauty Of Washington
to be dependent on big de-
cisions might be a bit sur
priSed to know that DR..
Stone probably would not
really disagree with them.
But our guess is that he'd
be more apt to attach i'm
portance to whether the
streets are kept clean than
to whether the National Gull
tural Center ever gets built.
He has never said any
thing ike this, understand.
But his whole record, as we
know it on the basis of quite
a few years contact, seems
to be keyed 10 successfully
attending to simple matters
that need attention which
the big decision-makers so
often overlook.
Take, for example, the
( question Of shoveling snow
in the front Of his house to
make a walkway safe for
passersby. Winter after win
ter, DR.. Stone never fails in
this, Notwithstanding the
fact that he lives at the
corner and has five times
more snow to shovel than
anyone else on the block.

This started some reminis-

eyes from the sun, looked at

In Cruckdown

Two Washington men listed
as active In the Black Muslin
sect were among Is persons
arrested here last week in a
Federal breakdown on suspected
dope peddlers, a Federal Mar
cotics Bureau official disclosed
last night.
The is suspectS-nine men
and six women-were picked up
in three raids. All were charged
with possession and sale of a
narcotic drug under the Harri-
son Act. Officials said the drug
was heroin in all but two cases.
In those two, the sale allegedly
involved cocaine.
A District Court official said
the two men described as Black
Muslims were arrested Thurs
day night. On the same night,
Narcotics Bureau agents ar
rested three other men and six
women. -Four other men were
arrested earlier In the week.
Suspects Arraigned
The II persons arrested
Thursday night were brought
before United States Commits
sioner Sam Werlich on Friday
morning for arraignment.
Commissioner Werlich said
the two sect members were
identified as George Broadus
Bey and a brother Of Bey's
whose last name was listed
as Ell.
George Broadus Bey's hear
ing was continued to next
Thursday, and his bond set at
$4,000. His brother, Commits
sioner Werlich said, has also
been scheduled to appear
Thursday. His bond was set at
So, 500.
Three men among the IL ar
rested Thursday waived hearing
and were held for action Of the
grand jury under $4,000 bond
each. A like bond was placed
on each of the six women,
whose cases were continued to
next Thursday.
Sales to Agents
A Government official said
the cases against the Is in
volved substantial amounts of
drugs. All Of the arrests were
based on sales allegedly made
to Federal undercover agents.
Arrest warrants were first is
sued on July Is.
Adherents Of the Black Mus
lin sect support an extremist
doctrine Of Negro Separation.
Their leaders declare that a
separate Negro nation" should
be established within the
United States and that Negro
problems all grow out of the
Negroes association with white
people.

who follow the sect's teachings
will stop drinking, smoking,
