WASHINGTON
"As it looks
from hore"
OMAR BURLESON
Conqmsmaa
17th District
Washington, tC\. C.: Few
people who havd observed
public transportation systems
in our larger cities would argue
that they do not have problems.
Some systems are broke
Hepresenlatives, The handlers
of the bill had a pretty-thard
lime in attempting an expiana
tion of why such an item was
provided in the MaAs Transit
itill. They did well enough for
an amendment to knotk it out,
to fail by a vote of 194 for to 223
against.
This measure loads the price
of government with $11.4
billion, of whjch approximately
one billion is operating subsi-
dies over the next six years.
This is added to the approxi
mately 70 per cent of yearly
Federal funds to make up- the
difference in losses.
The bill as passed, is divided
into categories of A, B, C and D.
The bulk of the $11.4 billion will fxp^nse of Government cost
go to only nine Cities, namely, which is controlled. It becomes
because operating expenses Boston, Chicago, Cleveland,, something like a C. 0; D.
have priced them out of New York, Philadelphia, San package.
Francisco, Atlanta, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh. Other large
business, even with some
paying high subsidies to keep it
going. On May 20, 1974, the
House of Representatives pass
ed a Mass Transit Bill, the cost
of which is $11,400,000,OOO over
a period of six years, Originally
the bill had a $20 billion cost tag
with a provision to subsidize
states and cities, up to 50
percent of their operating
costs. ,
Under the threat of a veto,
because of its contribution to
inflation, an amendment was
adopted reducing the total
amount by almost half and

the formula must set up
systems by meeting certain
defined Federal requirements.
When they do so,, further
legislation will probably be
proposed in order that they also
share in these Federal hand-
outs as if the Federal Govern-
ment had the money to do it.
There is also a carrot held out
for smaller towns and rural
communities should the Secre- _ _______________
tary of Transportation decide Saturday. Burial was in Voss

lt Would be a day considerably ers were ;jestPr Anderson, Otis
in the future before any small Throgmorton, R. E. Pyburn,
towns or cities, much less rural
areas, vy^iild share in this
Federal legacy.
One of the strongest argu-
ments of#the*supporters of the
legislation was that the Federal
Government had responsibility
to help build and operate city
transportation systems because
Transit, the Amalgamated of restriction placed on the use
of private automobiles in many
areas. Notably, this measure
for the first time established
the principle of operating
subsidies which, it is fairly safe
to predict, will have no end,
Incidentally, it would have
been strange for the casual
observer to note the sum of
$14 million for a rail crossing
project in Hammond, Indiana
was included to be paid out of
the Highway Trust Fund. The
explhnation is rather simple.
The Chairman of the Rules
50 percent to one-third.
We ordinarily think of
“lobbyists" as those trying to
get something for special
interests: Some of the lobbying
efforts in behalf of this
legislation was special interest
such as equipment manufactur-
ers, suppliers and consulting
firms, hut the most active was
the American Transit Associa-
tion, the Institute for Rapid
Transit Association, the Na
tional League of Cities, the U.
S,. Conference of Mayors and
the National Governor's Con
ference. These are pretty
heavy guns and, as a,result of
their efforts, it was'difficult to
even reduce the' $20 billion
called for in the bill.
One of the big catches in the
operating subsidy is that in
every Session of Congress over
the next six years efforts will
be made to increase subsidy
payments to the Cities since it

Safeguarding
the Tenant
Olga returned from the market
to find that a burglar had broken
into her apartment and decamped
with some jewelry. Upon reflec-
tion, she decided that the land-
lord ought to pay damages for the
.loss.
"His caretaker had left the front
door of the building open the en-
tire day," she pointed put in a
court hearing. “Obviously that
made things easier for the thief.
A landlord has a duty to shield
his tenants against crime.”
I 4
the landlord could be held liable
for “creating a condition con-
ducive to criminal assaults.”
But even a neglectful landlord
won't be blamed if his negligence
was not the “proximate cause" of
thf crime.
Thus, another landlord was held'
not liable for a robbery, even
though he had failed to repair a
faulty lock on the tenant's door.
It seems that on the day of the
robbery, the tenant had left a
ground floor window open. Since
the robber may well have gained
entry through the window instead
of the doot, the court said it was
impossible to pin the crime on the
landlord.

New Booklet
AUSTIN-Wise Shopper’s
Guide, a nostalgic presenta-
tion of up-to-date consumer
tips, has been published by
the Texas Department of
Agriculture (TDA). ■
The 32-page booklet
includes information on buy-
ing and preparing food, bud-
geting, nutrition, cookingW
one or two, developing a
home garden and buying and
caring for plants. .
“We think the Wise
Shopper’s Guide is one of
the most helpful consumer
publications yet published
by the Texas Department of
Agriculture,” said Agricul-
ture Commissioner John C.
White. “It tells people how
to save money without stint-
ing on quality-and almost
everybody is interested in
that.”
The guide is liberally
illustrated and contains a
variety of charts and defini-
tions. It also tells how to get
an touchwith the TDA Con-
sumer Affairs Office when
someone needs help in
solving a consumer problem.
For copies write Commis-
sioner John C. White, Texas

P.O. 6ox 12847, Austin,
Tex. 7&711.
If wages had gone up no
faster than food prices in the
last 20 years, the average
industrial worker would be
earning $2.59 an hour, not
$3.89, Agriculture Commis-
sioner John C. White said
recently.

4 H FOUNDATION BOOSTS
YOUTH WORK
The Texas 4 II Youth Devg
lopment .Foundation was form
ed in 1961, and since that time
public support for 4-H has
grown and flourished through
out the state. The foundation
garners private support for
. 4-H, points out a 4-H and youth
specialist for the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service. It
works on a cooperative basis
with the Extension Service and
is governed by a board of 26
trustees who are leading Texas
business executives. The 4-H
foundation sponsors many lead
ership and awards programs on
a year-round basis.
But the court said that generally
speaking, a landlord has no such
duty. Rejecting Olga's claim, the
court said crime prevention is
primarily the job of the govern-
ment, not of private property
owners.
This is the traditional rule of
law, leaving tenants pretty.much
“on their own" with regard to
crime. However, a few courts
have ruled recently , that at least
in certain situations, the landlord
may bear some responsibility.
Another case involved an apart-
ment building that Was located In
a high-crime district. The lobby
had only dim lighting, and the;
front door lock, having once been
broken, was left that way.
One night an elderly tenant, en-
tering the lobby, was beaten by an
unknown assailant who had been
lurking in the darkness. In these
circumstances, a court said later.
