Managers Fear Potential
panger in House for Aid
To Transportation Bill
, Following is Iht second of
;lvo dispatches on President
Kennedy's mass transit plan,
''assessing its chances of appro
fval and the means administra
tion supporters plan to use to
.win approval of Republicans
'lor the complex program.
By JOSEPH D. HUTNYAN
Washington -IUPII- Congres
sional members of President
Kennedy's public transporta
tion aid bill feel it may be in
danger if the House Republi
can leadership chooses to op
fjose it and to make its oppo
sition a matter of party dis
cipline. Otherwise, the feeling is
that the base of support for
the legislation is broad
chough to withstand expected
assaults from conservative
ahd rural groups.
!The Senate is scheduled lo
open hearings Tuesday on the
5500 million matching grant
program intended to stimulate
improvements in public rail
and bus systems.
The three-year plan-which
would broaden a transit aid
program enacted last year-is
one of the xnost politically
complex issues to come before
Congress.
Seeds of Conflicts
The emphasis on expendi
ture of public funds suggests
.a potential conservative-liber-
il conflict. It also could shape
lip as a battle between the ur-
;Jan and rural blocs.
However, in both cases the
irariilional battle lines are
;tlurrcd by geographical and
pilfer considerations.
- Supporters are counting on
jjhe railroads and the urban
'Republican congressmen to
,'use their influence with the
r.OP lo keep the bill from be
coming a strictly partisan
tissue.
'i They also claim support
Jrom allied business interests,
isorhc of which are traditional
ly "conservative.
y To prevent the legislation
irom being labeled a "big
Vily" bill, its managers will
Stress potential benefits to Ihe
smaller towns and cities suf
'jmng from bus service
problems,
indorses Bill
' The bill was endorsed by
Ihe American Transit Associ
ation, whose members In
.elude many of the smaller bus
Operations.
Sponsors of Ihe legislation
'ioel that strong administra
tion support is lis most pow
erful asset this year. In the
previous session, the White
House was reluctant and held
Oil its endorsement until it
reached the critical stage in
congressional conference.
Supporters also say the fact
the administrative machinery
already is set up and operat
ing will make their jobs
easier this year.
The argument Is that the
present legislation could be
represented as merely an ex
tension of a program autho
rized last year. - -
This line would be followed
in hopes of softening built-in
congressional resistance to
the federal government ex
panding its subsidy role to
new segments of our society.
xcitment Mounts in Seattle on
Eve
Of Fair; 90,000 Expected for Opening
Seattle -ftJPIl- This lovely
city bubbled with the most
excitement since the 1897 Yu

Selassie's Ship
Stirs Controversy
Washington -IUPII- A con
gressional controversy today
swirled around Ethiopian Em
peror Haile Selassie's flag
ship.
The storm centered on how
much il cost the United States
to provide Ihe emperor with
the World War II seaplane
tender Orca, which was taken
out of mothballs and convert
ed into a modern patrol ship
wiih air conditioning and
gold wallpaper.
The Slate Department told
Rep. J. T. Ruihertord last
week that the job cost $175,
000, including $U for Ihe
wallpaper. Rutherford promp
tly issued a statc.nent chas
tising the critics who had
claimed the ship renovation
cost the taxpayers $2 million.
But congressional testimony
was released this week which
said the total lab was not
$175,000, or even $2 million
but $.1 million, including
$500,000 lo train the Norwe
gian crew.
Rutherford said h. would
demand an explanation of its
"erroneous information'' from
the State Department. "If you
t It ink I'm embarrassed," he
said, "wait until they hear
from me.''
natives that all would be
ready for a first day crowd
anticipated at 90,000 that
Mayor Gordon Clinton - al
though a teetotaler - decreed
that the hour be marked as if
it were New Year' Eve, with
ringing of bells and blowing
of horns and whistles.
Every World Fair has one
feature that is always remem
bered. Seattle does not have a
Sally Rand although it does
have a "backstage USA"
where the customers are giv
en the illusion they have
stumbled into a dressing room
where the showgirls are tak

But the single impression
visitors will take home ia that
of the soaring space needle, a
600-foot steel spire that looks
like an Eiffel Tower with a
bright orange disc atop. There,
in a restaurant which re:
volves completely once an
hour, the champagne was al
ready icing.
This fair may resemble the
Gold Rush in more ways than
one. It has minted its own
gold-plated coins about the
size of a silver dollar. They
cost $1 apiece and can be kept
as mementoes or spent as dol
lars - not only here but
throughout Washington state.

"Television is not a nation

In his final statement, Lee
again urged the FCC td clarify
its rules on local autonomy
in the operations of ,chain
owned television stations so
"the industry will know how
to comply."
The hearings began last

99 witnesses. The inquiry re

Lee said before the start
of the inquiry and reiterated
during it that the hearings
would have no bearing on re
newal of the licenses. In his
final statement he reassured
the station managers he had
heard nothing in the testi
mony that would jeopardize
the renewal.
Licenses of the other com

Pickets Protest
Freighter Loading
Seattle -IUPU - Pickets, some
of them American Legion
members and others describ
ing themselves as "just Amer
ican citizens," showed up at a
dock Thursday to protest the
loading of the Greek freighter
Annitsa with grain bound for
Communist Poland.
The picketing disrupted the
loading for a few minutes
when longshoremen refused
to work behind a picket line.
Under police order the picket
line moved back about 500
feet and work resumed.
The first pickets, seven
women and a man wearing a
Barry Goldwater pin, showed
up at 1 p.m. They were joined
later by about 20 members of
Seattle American Legion post
No. 1 and the Burien, Wash.,
post.
When the American Legion
members showed up, Republi
can Rep. Thomas Pelly of
Washington released a pre
pared statement in support of
the picketing.
Pelly called such shipments
"an incredible phase of our
foreign policy which permits
this traffic with the Commu
nist bloc, leaders of which are
sworn to destroy us."

Glide Silently
The second biggest novelty
in Seattle probably will be
the monorail. The rubber
tired coaches, capable of
transporting 10.000 persons
an hour from downtown to
the grounds, glide silently
over the 1 and l-5th mile ov
erhead in 95 seconds.
The Swedish transit inno
vation may be the hub of a
whole new system for this
hour-glass-shaped city which
has monstrous traffic jams

70,000 Boeing employes go to
