LOS ANGELES I UPI) This
megalopolis has a king-size trans
it headache but a monorail sys
tem, costing a relatively modest
$123 million, could provide relief,
according to an industrialist.
Sixten Holmquist, president of
the Wegematic Corp., asserts his
firm could build a monorail which
could be financed out of the fare
box without a tax subsidy.
The Metropolitan Transit Au
thority (MTA), a public agency
which operates major buslines in
this area, has shown interest in
Holmquist's plan. v
Holmquist's claim that a mono
rail system would not require any
tax support is calculated to meet
with the approval of property own
ers and others interested in fight
ing tax increases.
Engineers Are Skeptical
Some MTA engineers are skep
tical about Holmquist's plan but
they don't want to commit them
selves publicly as being against
it until he has had a full hear
ing. itolmqiflst made his announce

Seen As Relief
er the MTA fell flat on its face
when it suggested that a special
property tax be levied to finance
a 58-mile combination subway and
surface train system costing $649
million. The MTA wanted the state
legislature to earmark 15 cents as
a maximum on each $100 assessed
valuation to provide the cash.
Property owners howled and the
MTA withdrew its proposal, call
ing it a "mistake."
As a result Holmquist received
a pleasant reception when he of
fered his tax-free $123 million
monorail plan. He said a mono
rail is less expensive to construct
than a subway or double - track
elevated line.
Holmquist says a monorail's
construction cost is $3 million a
mile, compared with the MTA's
surface-subway system cost of $11
million. And he says he has financ
ing available through a Wall
Street investment firm.
Would Link Center
Out of the estimated $123 mil
lion cost for the monorail, Holm
quist said, about $14 million would
be used to purchase rights-of-way.

The system would link the Civic
Center with the West Los Angeles
area, with El Monte to the cast
and with the San Fernando Val
ley to the north.
Holmquist also said his group
would submit a plan to pay the
MIA s current indebtedness of ap
proximately $41 million.
The monorail concept is not new
to Southern California. Walt Dis
ney has one operating in his famed
amusement park.
The Disney mononail is one of
the most popular and useful at
tractions at Disneyland, accord
ing to park engineer John Wise.
Advantages of the monorail
cited by both Wise and Disney,
are that it is noiseless, it op
erates on electricity and spews no
smelly exhaust fumes.
And absence of exhaust fumes
would be a boom to smog-ridden
Los Angeles.

Rules Group
Viewed With
Misgivings
WASHINGTON (L'PII - House
liberals, with a lot of sad experi
lence to reflect on, viewed the
prospective new lineup of the!
House Rules Committee today
with a certain amount of misgiv
ing.
Conservatives weren't out cele
brating, either.
But neither side had any plans;
to contest it.
Under plans all ut furmallv
announced by House leaders,
Rep. John Youih, D-Tex., will re
place Rep. Homer Thornberry, D
Tex., as a member of the pro
administration bloc that frequent
ly has been able to prevail
the crucial committee by no bet
ter than 8 to 7.
President Kennedy T u e s d a v
nominated Thornberry as a fed
eral judge for the Western Dis-I
Inct of Texas. In so doing, he
rewarded Thornberry for past
support, but at the same time.
created a further problem for
himself in the closely divided
rules group.
The rules committee normally
decides whether bills recommend
ed by other committees are
routed on to the House for a
vote. Its yes or no can mean lifd
or death for controversial bills. I
Speaker John W. McCormack,
D-Mass., let it be known lie had
picked another Texan to fill
Thornberry's crucial rules seat,
and word was passed among
members that Young was the
man.
In selecting Young, McCor
mack obviously acted in the be
lief Young could be counted on
in a pinch to support the lcader-
mp even in the face of adverse
local interest.
Thornberry, though he some-l
times voted against the adminis
tration both in the committee and
on the House floor, was a close
friend of the late Speaker Sam
Rayburn and became a trusted
leadership lieutenant in the cru
cial rules spot.
Some liberals pointed to
Young's mixed record of admin
istration support heretofore and
wondered whether McCormack
had made the right choice.
Conservatives, who saw their
long domination of the commit
tee shattered when the group' in
1961 was enlarged from 12 mem
bers to 15, (iguced that McCor
mack knew what he was doing.
Their assumption was that he.
had exacted a pledge of support
Irom Young.
