Federal Financing
WASHINGTON Wl The
House Public Work Commit
tee Wednesday turned down,
19-14, President Eisenhower's
plan to finance a vast road
building program with bonds.
The President had proposed
letting up a new government
corporation to sell 30 -year
bonds.
The committee didn't reach
a vote on a substitute Demo
cratic plan to pay for the new
roada through immediate in
creases in federal taxes on
gasoline, trucks, heay tires
and tubes and dicscl fuclk
' WASHINGTON WV-The House
Public Works Committee was
split several ways Wednesday
over how to raise 37 billion dol
lars to pay the federal share of a
proposed 12-year road-building
program.
For this reason, committee
members doubted they could com
plete action on a highway bill et
a closed-door session Wednesday.
Several key members predicted
approval of a subcommittee plan
to raise gasoline taxes from 2 to
3 cents a gallon and to hike taxes
tn trucks, diescl fuel, truck tires
and tubes. These increases would
bring in more than 800 million
dollars a yeir.
LAST-DITCH STAND
But oilier J promised a las'.'
ditch stand in the committee fur
President Eisenhower's plan to
create a new government corpo
ration to finance the building
program through long-term bonds
which would not be chargeable
to the national debt.
Still others called for a com
promise to pay part of the road
bill through immediate tax in
creases and part through bonds.
Some members wanted to drop
the whole program and others
wanted to pass the buck on fi
nancing tn the House Ways and
Means Committee, which tradi
tionally starts all tax bills in
Congress.
PRESSING FOR ACTION
Both Eisenhower and Demo
cratic congressional leaders arc
pressing for action on the biggest
federal-state highway program
ever projected.
The program calls for 24 bil
lions In federal funds and about
2'4 billions In state funds to com
plete a 40,000-milo network of in
terstate superhighways, selected
largely for their importance tn
national defense.
And it would continue, for the
first year, the present program
under which tho federal govern
ment and tho slnles together nut
up almost l'a billions a year for
primary, secondary and urban
roads on a 50-50 matching basis

Russell Offers New
Draft Plan Revision
By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON
or The AiaocUtrd Press '
A maximum of seven eclipses,
visible someplace on earth, can
occur in one year cither five of
the sun and two of the moon or
four of the sun and three of the
moon.
WASHINGTON W-Sen. Bus-I
sell (I) Ga) proposed Wednesday
a, new revision of the military re
servo plan strongly urged by
President Eisenhower and the
Pentagon.
As he outlined it in an inter
view, it would include a volun
teer system for teen age reserv
ists but would omit authority for
compulsory reserve drills for
past and present service veterans.
The Pentagon has asked for both
features.
I believe this is closer to what
the administration wanted than I
first thought," said Russell, chair
man of the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee.
CLOSED SESSION
He called the commitlce into
closed session Wednesday to vote
on details of the legislation aim
ed at building up a combat-ready
reserve of 2,900,000 by M60.
Russell has maintained that it
is unfair to require former serv
icemen to serve with active re
servo units while many other
young men never don uniforms
The Pentagon asked originally
for authority to give discharges
other than hnnorablo to any such
man who does not keep up his re
serve obligations. The House
turned down this request, hut did
vole for authonfy to recall such
men for active duty of up to 45
days.
SPEC IAL BONUS
In lieu of eilher of these forms
of compulsion, Russell has pro
posed a special bonus for service
veterans who agreed to under
take active reserve duty.
There has been no Senate dis
pute over the administration pro
posal to allow as many as 250,000
draft-age youths yearly to volun
teer for six months' special active
training. They would agree to
serve 7'A years more in the re
serve, and would be exempt from
the regular draft. The current
draft service is two years.
Russell offered to make these
changes in the bill passed by the
House:
Eliminate a provision saying
youths could not volunteer for
this special reserve until they had
completed high school or attained
19. The- Pentagon proposed to
open the plan to all youths from
17 to 18 Ms.
Permit trainees to be assign
ed to National Guard units. The
House junked such a provision
after an earlier version had been
amended on the floor to bar as
signment of reservists to Guard
units which practice racial segregation.
Eliminate a House Provision
that cut the present eight-year re
serve obligation to six years for
men who had been drafted
volunteered since the date of the
Korean truce, July 27, 1953.
Farm Experts
Off to Russia
NEW YORK (W 'A delegation
of 13 American agricultural ex
perts left New York Tuesday
night for a goodwill inspection
tour of farms in the Soviet Union.
The farmers, agricultural col
lege men and government of
ficials promised to keep "open
minds and unplugged ears ' dur
ing their visit. A similar delega
tion from Russia will tour the
Midwest U.S. farm belt at almost
the same time.
Dean William E. Reed of the
North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical College, the only Negro
iiulhe group, said he would keep
a lookout for any racial problems
in the Soviet Union.
Radio Moscow said Tuesday
night the Russian tour had left
for the United States. The Rus
sians are expected to arrive in
Washington Saturday or Sunday.
The Americans were scheduled
to land in London Wednesday.

WASHINGTON Sen. Gore
(D-Tenn) said Wednesday any, fte sie by thg end of June
agreement oy ne .nirou A bi drive to t the youngsters
to pay contract cancciTaffon fees out or summer work on bigmam
10 -.ne uixon-iH.es mimy BuF jccU announced months
would be "sulfjcct to searching "V
inquiry" by Congress.
He sai the Atomic Energy
Commission could use only, funds
appropriated by Congress to re
imburse Dixon-Yates for costs
claimed under the contract Pres
ident Eisenhower has ordered
cancel!.
Atty. Gen. Browncll said Mon
day a settlement would hf ne
gotiated with Dixon-Yates. But
he said he could not estimate
what cancellation costs might
come to. There have been esti
mates Dixon-Yates .might -seek
several millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, a Senate Antitrust
subcommittee probing the con
tract called the entire Securities
and Exchange Commission to try
to find out if the White House
nterfered with the timing of hear
ings on Dixon-Yates financing
plans.
REFUSES TO SAY
SEC Chairman J. Sinclair Arm
strong Tuesday refused to say
Miy the commission suddenly
ordered a three-day postponement
of a Dixon-Yates hearing. He
would not say whether someone
in the White House directed the!
delay. He insisted this was a con
fidential matter.
The SEC hearing, which in
volved proposed Dixon-Yates :
bond financing, was set for June;
13. But the SEC met at Arm
strong's direction early that morn
ing, and told hearing examiner
James G. Ewell to put off the
session. It resumed June 16.
Sen. Kcfauver (D-Tenn), the
Antitrust subcommittee chair
man, pointed out that the House
was debating that week a money
bill which involved the Dixon
Yates matter.
Some House Democrats sought
to knock out of the measure a
6'4-million-dollar item for
transmission line to the proposed
Dixon-Yates power plant, and to
devote the money instead to a
new Tennessee Valley Authority
steam plant. They were beaten on
a vote taken June 16.

Foreign Students
Hear President
WASHINGTON WV- President
Eisenhower Tuesday told a group
of foreign students he is going to
the Big lour conference in the
hope of finding a way to let "all
of you live a little bit more tran
quilly than have the people of my
gencition."
"Now people don't want conflict
people in general," Eisenhower
said. "It is only, I think, mistak
en leaders that grow too belliger
ent and believe that people really
want to fight."
The 69 students the President
addressed informally in the White
House rose garden are from 14
European countries and from Ja
pan.
They are in this country as part
of an exchange program spon
sored by the American Field Serv
ice, a private organization.

cement truck onto a soft shoulder
of the highway near here Tuesday
and plunged 80 feet down a rocky
gorge into the rayette River.
He clamborcd out with only a few
cuts and bruises.
TESTIMONY TOO LATE
Kcfauver said testimony at the
SEC hearing came too late to af
fect the House vote.
The witness scheduled for June
13 was Adolphe H. Wenzell, a
former vice president of First
Boston Corp., which became the
financial agent for Dixon-Yates
i a no-fee basis.
Wemell also served as a con
sultant for the Budget Bureau on
power matters during early stages
of negotiations leading to the con
tract between the AEC and the
Dixon-Yates group. Kefauverand
other senators have been highly
critical of his dual role.
Wenzell was scheduled to re
sume his testimony after the SEC
witnesses finish.
The Dixon-Yates plant was to
have been built at West Mem
phis, Ark., largely to supply
power to Memphis, Tenn., through
TVA lines. AEC negotiated the
contract at Eisenhower's direc
tion.
The President decided Monday
to scrap the contract after Mem
phis officials convinced him the
city was going ahead with its own
plant and would refuse Dixon
Yates power.
