Commission Opposes Ike's
Highway Financing Plans,
Favors State, Local Taxing
BY STERLING F. GREEN
WASHINGTON w The Commission on Intergovern
mental Relations took issue Monday with President Eisen
hower's highway financing program and called on his ad
ministration to assume full command of civil defense.
The 25-me m b e r commission
created by Congress two years ago
to recommend boundary lines for
overlapping taxes and encroaching
governmental authority, filed with
the President a 311-page document
proposing:
1. Withdrawal of the federal gov
ernment from some fields of tax
ation leaving them to the states
and cities as rapidly as tax re
duction becomes possible. It
named no specific taxes.
2. Federal "payment in lieu of
taxes to cities and states, in com
pensation for real estate stricken
from their tax roll because of
federal ownership. .
3. Increased federal appropria
tions for a stepped-up, state-ad
ministered highway construction
program to be financed on a "pay-
as-you-build" basis not by borrow
ing.
4. Action bv Congress to trans
fer resDonsibility for civil defense
to Washington from the state and
cities which the commissions aid
are ill-equipped financially and
otherwise to carry the burden.
5. Continuance with some im
Dortant changes and curtailments
of federal gran's-in-ald. under
which more than two billion dollars
annually is furnished to states and
local governments. The federal
grant, the report said, "has be
come a fully matured device of
cooperative government.
Local Aid Emohaili.tJ
The commission n c a d e i by
Meyer Kcslnbaum of Chicago,
resident of the Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothing concern, empha
sized this view!
"A fundamental objective of our
system of government should be to
keep centrimation to a minimum
and state-local responsibility to a
maximum."
It called on the government to
exercise "forbearance in en
croaching on the jurisdiction of
states, counties ana cities, dm em
phasized that the state must mod
ernize their contitution and tax
systems and reorganize their ad
ministrative machinery to serve
the public better. It proposed that
each state launch "a searching re
appraisal of its fiscal policies."
While the cities and states are
at a disadvantage in competing
with the federal government in the
same fields of tax collection the
commission said, "substantial po
tential for more revenue exists in
almost all if not all, states."
Sen. Mora Diat.ntt
tHa renort. although sprinkled
with dissents, mustered a majority
on all major issues. Sens. Morse
(D-Ore) and Humphrey (D-Minn)
contributed most of the dissents,
and Morse ended by filing a gen
eral dlsent. .....

VA Worker's Niece Tells
Of Life In Native Israel
(Continued from Paga One)
as Israeli and Arab soldiers fire
on one' another, and rationing
sends prices (blackmarket and
other) apiraling.
As a youngster, Stella remem
bers the emotion-filled day in 1947
when Israeli women announced
their Intentions to fight with their
brothers for their country. Over
whelmed, the government revers
ed its decision of not drafting
women. It marked a turning point
in the nation's welfare, Miss Bass
said. There are Hi million citizens
in Israel, some 500,000 reside in
Tel-Aviv.
Of all factors, education, per
haps, is most different here.
Schooling is. to quote her, "there
a dreadful thing." Subjects are
mandatary. Curing one year, Stel
la's schedule included algebra, ge
ometry, physics, chemistry,
French, Hebrew, English, Bible,
science (human nature) and Ar
abic. She dropped the latter.
Because few students can afford
to continue on to college, the cur
riculum is difficult. And there is a
"distance" between teacher and
student. "Here," she continued,
"students and teachers are
friends." She prefers auch a sys
tem. Israeli students have no school
activities. Classes and study (ill
each day. Ua.w from 8 a.m.
to 2 p.m.; study until midnight or
later. Even in hool the army
entera in. The last three years of
high school, students spend an
hour of early morning training,
before classes.
Stella's father, Dr. Max Bass, is
I brothor of Mrs. Sehaefcr. He
is physician in Tel-Aviv. Stella's
mother and brother Gideon, 4.
comprise the rest of her immed
iate family.
Oregonlan said, he feels the re
port "goes too far in' playing down
the doctrine of federal sovereign
ty". Still, he paid high tribute to
the "very sincere, thorough and
studious work" done by the com
mission. The Commision also rejected
the propoal y! the Conference of
Governors that the government re
linquish the fcdral ?asolinc tax,
letting Ihe slates increase their
own gas taxes as a source of rev
enue for highway development.
"ThA .nmmicinn recommends."
the renort declared, "that the cx-
nanded hichvav prugr?m be
nanced substantially on a pay-as-
you-go basis and that Congress
Drovide additional revenue for
thi piiYV' primarily 'rom in
creased motor fuel taxes."
Toll Road Aid Opposed
The re;. t also urged that "no
rlnal .A Vtn nivnn tnr nnv toll
road." ai d declared "It would be
a basic mistake and wasteful dup
lication for. the national govern
ment to embark on a new program
.f oMnnllv hiiilrlincr maintaining
and operating any large segment
of -the highway network."
The commission opposed any
general federal aid to education,
but proposed "temporary" help for
school construction in cases wnere
the state could prove actual need.
In such cases, it said, the govern
ment should use "particular cau
tion to avoid interference. ." . in
educational processes or pro
grams." TUa t.Aru,i-f cniri faripral grants
for school lunches should be re
duced and, "after a reasoname pe
riod of time," eliminated.
