"The like of it. no nation has
ever dreamed," he said.
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.

Living Costs
Drop Slightly
WASHINGTON 11 The mvern-
ment reported Friday that consum
er prices for both automobiles and
rents declined in April because of
record production in the auto and
Housing industries. ,
The nrice declines were modest
but possibly significant in view of
iremenaous output in both indus
tries. They were chiefly responsi
ble for an overall slight reduction
in the nation's living cost level for
April.
The Labor Department's Bureau
of Labor Statistics said that be
tween mid-March and mid-Anril
its consumers price index declined
l-io of 1 per cent to U4.2 per cent
of the 1947-49 average. This is 3-10
of 1 per cent lowert han April last
year. It is the lowest living cost
level since May 1953 when the in
dex was 114.0.

Peron Senate
Votes Parting
Church, State
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina CP-
Congress completed action Friday
on a three-point program by sup
porters of President Juan D. Peron
for restricting the Roman Catholic
Church in Argentina.
The senate passed unanimously
a house approved resolution to set
up the process for amending the
constitution to separate church and
state.
Toe cnamtoer of deputies ap
proved 112-9 a senate bill to cancel
the tax exemption of churches end
religious organizations.
Point three in the program was
approved earlier in the current
three-week session by bcth bodies
discontinuing Catholic religious
education in the public schools.
All three measures await signa
ture by President Peron but this
is taken for granted, since Peron
had said publicly he would sign
any actions against the church tak
en by congress.

mittee are Democratic Sens. An
derson, Jackson of Washington and

The other subcommittee mem
bers are Sens. Watkms (R-Utah)
and Millikin (R-Colo). The eventual
vote in the full Interior Committee
is expected to be close. The sub

SI contestants whom Sandy de
feated in winning the 28th national
spelling bee Thursday. The presi
dent invited her to the White House

Blast District
In New York
FREE PORT, N. 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.
