Republicans, scoffing that s toe Gore bill would not do the job, bided their time to try to sub stitute an Eisenhower n'asure, turned down by the Public Works Committee in favor of the Gore bill. No Senate votes are to be taken until next week. Notice Served Sen. Martin of Pennsylvania formally introduced the Eisenhow er bill and served notice he would ask the Senate to pass it instead of the Gore measure. He praised the administration bill as a sound one, designed to modernize the nation's roads on a "pay as you use" basis and help cut down the traffic death toll. The Gore bill calls for a feleraV state outlay of $17,941,000 in the next five years on the lour road systems aided by federal funds interstate, primary, secondasy and urban. Of the total about $12,750, 000,000 would be federal rncney. The Eisenhower plan would al lot 38 billions of federal-state funds to the four systems over 10 years. Of this, 26 billions would be spent on the 40,000 mile interstate sys tem, designed to link up all areas of the country. Bone of Contention A big bone of contention is the method of financing the interstate system. Under the Eisenhower plan the federal government would put up 23 billion for this, raising 21 billion of it by 30-year bonds is sued by a special federal corpora tion, whose borrowing technically would not be counted in the federal debt The bonds would be paid off from gasoline taxes, and other mo tor vehicle taxes.

Y. tB Thou sands of red-hot. marble-size alum inum pellets blasted a wide area of Freeport Friday, creating near panic among many residents. The missiles flew out of a wind tunnel at the aeronautical labora tory of the Brooklyn Polytechnic School. They pelted an area several blocks wide and about a half mile long, Deputy Fire Chief Donald Mittauer said. Three automobiles and four boats were set afire. "It was like they were shot out of a cannon," Mittauer said. "They went right through the windshields of a lot of automobiles. Fortunate ly no person was struck." The pellets are supposed to melt under extreme heat in the wind tunnel, Mittauer said, but for some unknown reason they remained solid and escaped through an ex haust pipe. The wind tunnel, used in ex periments by the school, creates winds of extraordinary velocity. Ordinarily, the exhaust pipe is closed during the experiments and opened only after the pellets have been dissolved. Dr. Nathan Ness of the Brooklyn school termed the experimental work "top secret" and declined to duscuss the matter further.
