Senate House Mass Transit Bill Being Revised VERNON ALVES WASHINGTON (AP) Senate-House conferees on a masstransit operating subsidy bill plan to try to revise it this week to see whether it can be made acceptable to President Nixon. The conferees reached agreement on the legislation last December, just before the 1973 session ended, but held it over until this year to avoid a possible pocket veto. Nixon seemed certain to reject the measure because the executive branch always had opposed such subsidies. However, the President now has announced, as a part of his 1974 program, that he will support some subsidies in this field.

In the light of this change of policy, Sen. Harrison A. Williams, chief sponsor of the bill, said the conferees would meet Wednesday to take another look at it. The Nixon measure would make available $700 million in fiscal year 1975, with larger amounts in later years, which could be used either for masstransit operating subsidies or for capital expenditures at the option of the cities. The money would be allocated on the basis of the population in urbanized metropolitan areas.

The Williams bill would authorize $400 million each for the current fiscal year and for fiscal 1975, which begins next July 1, to be used entirely for the operating subsidies. The money would not be apportioned on the basis of a population formula but would be paid out on acceptance by the Department of Transportation of an application from a city with a floundering subway, rail commuter or bus system. Williams said he was particularly anxious for the program to start in the current year, since some transit systems are in danger of collapse. Congressional experts say the administration formula might result in allocations to some cities that have no mass-transit problems. The Senate repeatedly has voted for operating subsidies, but the House rejected them until last vear.
