What is this bill all about? Why is the President pushing ment, can't pay their way. New systems cost too much to be financed solely from fares. The fares can pay for operating costs but only part of the cost of improvements and construction. This Is creating a crisis for metropolitan areas in getting millions of people to and from work. Congestion is so bad that in some areas it takes more time now to trav el through a town than it did in the horse and buggy days. Highways alone will not do the job. The federal govern ment is spending S41 billion to help build a highway sys tem for the 1970 s. But it won't solve the problem of commuting within metropol itan areas. And the problem will get worse if the government doesn't provide some help. The population is growing rapidly and there is an in creasing concentration of peo ple living in the great com plexes beginning to do the na tion. Los Angeles, Detroit, Wash ington, D.C., Boston and Phil adelphia are among traffic congested cities cited by the senate banking committee in recommending passage of the bill. Fact is, proponents of mass transit legislation argue, we haven't seen anything yet in the growth of vast urban areas. As suburban communi ties merge more and more with cities, giant metropoli tan areas which overlap state and city lines will grow. Sea Big Growth The experts say that with in 20 years the population of the United States will total about 280 million. At least one half of these people are expected to settle in some 40 crowded urban complexes, each with more than one mil lion population. The federal government helps build the highways. Why shouldn't it help build and improve mass transporta tion systems? The federal help would be in the form of $375 million in grants and loans over the next three years. Kennedy asked for $500 million but the Senate cut it. The grants would work this way: The federal government would help build and Improve transportation systems which could pay their way once con structed or modernized. How ever, If the systems couldn't pay back all the capital fin ancing, the government would pick up the tab for two dol lars of that coat for every one dollar contributed by a local government. Say Local Case Opponents of federally sub sidized mass transit argue: Essentially it is a local prob lem; nothing for the federal government to get involved in.

If the federal government Passing out grants, it will discourage local initiative and localities will just wait tor the federal handouts. Furthermore, it may en courage building of lines where the people don't really want or need them. Also, who says the states and localities don't have the financial ability to do the job while the federal govern ment does? Standards High For one thing this kind of help would go to some of the richest cities in America, where great industries are concentrated and where the standards of living - and in comes - are high. If transpor ts Hon problems arise, there Is no reason why those com munities can't solve them on their own. And these "welfare state" planners forget that the fin ancial ability of the nation as a whole Is no greater than the sum of its parts. The fed eral government cannot help build mass transportation sys tems which the localities themselves couldn't afford In the beginning because the fed eral government is made un of localities. And finally, the $37S mil lion federal contributions la just a starter. There's a hint in the bill that the cost could run as high as as billion in the next 10 years. Just The Start There is no question that the Initial spending is just the beglning - e three-year emer gency program. But the new frontier measure also has some long-range features. Supporters deny the cost could rise to anything close to IS bUlion. Those are both sides of the story. The next chanter will be written when the House acts on the Senate bill. Right now li is snyooays guess as to what will happan. But Pres ident Kennedy is fighting herd for the program and Is optimistic tnat ha will salvsge it.
