phalanx of Republicans and
Southern Democratic econ
omy advocates would like to
gut it.
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.
Localities themselves de
cide whether they need man

transportation systems. Those
that want them and need them
badly do something about
them, auch as San Francisco
and Boston.
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.
