Ike Outlines Highway
Plan to Congressmen
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Elsenhower outlined bin
highway program Minday to a bl-1
partisan group of congressmen
pledged to "no politics In roads." j
From the immediate reaction,* It
appeared the President's propos
al is in for rough sledding on 1
Capitol hill.
The White House announced
after the hour and a half session
that It would send Elsenhower's
program to Congress Tuesday. ,
Sen. Edward Martin of Penn
sylvania, senior Republican on
the Senate public roads subcom
mittee, said that Elsenhower in
dicated there would "not be any
major changes" from the con
troversial Clay report in his own
highway program.
f lay Report
Th<> Clay report, announced
lust month by a special presiden
tlal advisory committee headed
by C>n. Lucius D. Clay, contained
features which drew vigorous at
tack from a number of Senate
Democrats.
Sen. Chavez ID-NMi, who at
tended the White House con
ference, told reporters the pro
gram is "SO full of holes it might
sink in Congress."
The conference was reported
to murk the first time Democrats
have been called to the White
House to discuss a domestic pro- i
gram since Elsenhower took of
fice.
It came only a few hours after
Sen. Francis Case (R-SD) said
"Unfortunately, I have been,
hearing reports that there is an
attempt benig made to throw
highways into politics.”
Senator Gore
Case made this statement at
the start of public hearings by
the public roads subcommittee on
a highway bill offered by the
committee chairman, Cen. Gore
(D-Tenni. Gore's bill departs
sharply from the plan set forth
by the Clay committee.
Clay attended the White House
conference and Mnrtin said he
thought "everybody was very
much impressed with the way he
outlined his plan.”
Martin said, too, that he
thought “the Democrats were
very well satisfied with the pro
gram.”
Chavez and Gore, in an in
terview with newsmen, appeared
to be taking a different line, al
though they agreed the White
House conference went off har
moniously.
Gore said there are “certain

Martin conceded the financing

program would probably face
considerable Democratic opposi
tion.
The healing was marked by
Home polite, but barbed, ques
tioning of an administration

bers of the committee.
Francis V. du Pont., special as
sistant to Secretary of Com
merce Weeks, limited himself to
a general staement on highway
problems. He said "obviously, it
would be premature for me io
comment, at this time, on any
specific legislative proposals.”

Du Pont said he would prefer
"deferring answering questions"
on that until an administration
bill was before the committee.
After some verbal jockeying
between the 'two men, Ncuberger
said:
“Can't we get any informa

Du Pont said the Clay com

committee and that he would be
"very glad to diseusa anything

legislation."
"I think some of the material
in the Clay report may not come
here as legislation." he added.

Senate Will Decide
On Wage Increase
WASHINGTON (AP| The
Senate late Monday agreed to
vote Wednesday on a proposed
•r)0 per cent pay hike for mem
bers of Congress. Sen. Morse <D
Ore i thereupon cut short a speech
he had been making against the
measure.
Morse took the floor early in
the afternoon for what haxl all
the eai-marks of a marathon
speech. He threatened to talk in
definitely to stall a vote before
Wednesday.
Democratic and Republican
leaders, who support the pay in
crease measrire, huddled and fi
nally came up with an agree
ment. to start voting on the bill
Wednesday, with a 30-minute de
bate limit on amendments and
one hour on final passage, to be
divided equally between those
for and against the measure.
The agreement, which required
unanimous consent of all sena
tors present, was read and quick
ly adopted. Then the Senate ad
journed for the day.
The Senate has before it a bill
to boost salaries of members of
Congress from $15,000 to $22,
500 a year. The House already
has voted an increase to $25,000.
Senators and representatives
now get a basic salary of $12,500
a year, an expense allowance of
$2500 for which they do not have
to account, and $3000 of their
income is tax-free. This $3000
exemption would be retained in
the House bill.

Strange Case of
THE EO&lHASdY SKIiR
/T\ .
■ HERE was once a young fellow who
decided skiing was as easy as driving
a car on snow-covered roads.
So one day he stepped into his new skis
atop a slope, and pushed off. His friends
were aghast! Such confidence!
He knew little or nothing about the rules
of skiing—how to turn—how to stop—
J how to use his poles and edges.
/ What happened? That’s right.
He ran smack into a large tree.
Everybody on the slope said he
should learn the rules of skiing
before taking such chances.
But nobody mentioned that neither he—
nor most of them—knew or practiced
the rules of winter driving.
Doesn’t that seem awfully foolish—and
childish—when you think of the terrible
death toll from winter traffic accidents?
Just in case, here are the six rules*
k of winter driving.
*THE SIX RULES OF WINTER DRIVING
1. Accept your responsibility.
2. Get the "feel" of the road.
3. Keep the windshield clear.
4. Use tire chains and good tires,
5. Pump your brakes.
6. Follow at a safe distance.
