fill, Cent en of Stotm 11 MB nn nno I. By RICHARD OLIVER Theodore W. Kheel, head of Mayor Lindsay's committee to save the 20- cent fare, came up with another proposal yesterday to help mass transporta tion by imposing tolls this time on all major parkways and expressways entering the city. Kheel, already on record in support of tolls on the free Manhattan bridges and of increasing tolls on Hudson River crossings, said his committee is definitely considering the parkways and expressways toll plan. Kheel, a noted labor mediator, said these revenues could be ap plied to help commuter carriers, such as the Long Inland Rail Road and the New Haven Rail road.

Explains His Stand He made his remarks in. an in terview during which he respond ed to criticism of his proposal to impose or increase tolls on bridges and tunnels serving Manhattan. Thought must be given also to the imposition of tolls on the free expressways and parkways to help commuter transportation i i I Vv; rV "yh and the commuter lines," Kheel said. Earlier, master road-builder Robert Moses commented on the Kheel proposal with respect to bridges and tunnels, saying: "You can't make rubber pay for rails."

Asked about the Kheel bridge and tunnel toR plan, the 80-year-old Moses said: "You can't save the 20-cent fare with any device like that. "It's manifestly absurd, and I think Ted Kheel is such a smart cookie, he knows this.

Are you kidding? Do you think anybody could continue in public life after putting a toll on a free bridge or raising the tolls on a toll bridge? Doubtful of 20-Cent Fare "I think Ted's got his tongue In his cheek, I don't think anybody can save the fare except possibly through higher taxes and perhaps offtrack betting." Asked whether he thought the 20-cent fare is doomed, Moses replied: "I would say so." He noted that the subways expect a deficit of between $180 million and $200 million. Commenting on Moses' remarks, Kheel said: "I don't want to be caustic about Bob Moses. He's a fine person. "The question I raise about both Bob Moses and Austin Tobin, (Port Authority executive director), whose skills are beyond question, is whether they're of any disposition to help mass transportation. Over the years, their agencies have cleaned up on the automobile.

Has "Created Problems" "This has not merely made the mass transit rider pay a higher price for increasingly inferior service, but it has created a host of problems that are part and parcel of the urban decay.
