Congress last year that he
"hoped", to, be able to recom
mend tax cuts next year but
said .none were warranted this

Loss of Revenue
Knowland and Arends said
they oppose the cut at this time
because of the loss of revenue.
Arends said he believes the
issue should be taken to the
voters with emphasis on what
the tax cut would mean in re
ducing federal-receipts.

possibility, which neither would

Eisenhower Urges
Congress Approve
Highway Program
Present Network
Said Inadequate
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower urged Congress to
day to approve a 10-year, $101,
000,000,000 highway improve
ment program. He said the na
tion's prerent road network is
inadequate and unsafe, and
would breed "deadly congestion"
in event of atomic attack.
In an 1800-word special mes
sage to the House and Senate,
Mr. Eisenhower underscored the
urgency of highway improve
ments with an estimate that
81,000,000 vehicles will travel
a total of 814,000,000,000 miles
over America's roads in 1SJ65.
He said present traffic jams
"only faintly foreshadow those
of 10 years hence."
Fulls No Punches
Mr. Eisenhower also warned
that at present rates of develop
ment, it will be . the year 2005
before the nation has an inter
state highway network of "even
a reasonable level of extent and
efficiency."
Although he pulled no punches
in stressing the need for heavy
federal, state, and local outlays
on highways, Mr. Eisenhower
left it up to Congress to work
out such controversial details
as how to finance the huge pro
gram. Mr. Eisenhower said he was
'inclined" to favor financing
the proposed $31,225,000,000
federal share of the program by
special bond ' issues to be paid
off with revenues from gas and
diesel oil taxes and in some in
stances by highway tolls.
But in the face of sharp Dem
ocratic opposition :' to bond fi
nancing, he did not insist on this
method of footing the bills.:
Committee Recommendations
Mr. Eisenhower forwarded to
Congress, along with- his own
comparatively brief message, the
previously published recommen
dations of his special Highway
Advisory Committee headed by
Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
This committee recommended '
a 10-year $101,OOOl00O,00QfJjjj.
way building program with the
federal government bearing
about 30 per cent of the cost.
Most of the federal outlay, $25,-
000,000,000, would go to expand
and improve the 40,000-mile in
terstate highway system that
links most of the nation's prin
cipal cities.
Mr. Eisenhower said "compre
hensive, quick and forward
looking action is needed" to pro
vide the kind of highway system
America needs to handle its pres
ent heavy motor traffic and the
estimated jam of 81,000,000 ve
hicles that will be on the roads
by 1965. (

The Atomic Energy commission
celebrated Washington's Birth
day with an atomic blast that a
witnessing U.S.i Senator indicat
ed could be the model of a war
head of a guided missile for -use
against 4'invading forces."
Sen. Russell Long (D-Ala.),
who saw this second shot in the
1955 nuclear test series from an
official observation post 10 miles
away, said after the blast it was
a "baby A-bomb." :
Possibilities Foreseen ',; '. .
He said it enabled him and 16
other observing congressmen , to
"foresee ' the defensive possibil
ities of these small size nuclear
weapons, launched from either
the ground or aircraft against
invading forces, yet:' small
enough to minimize danger to
our own people." ' ; ;

thoroughly by the AEC on what
was happening, before, during

The blast spread a panoramic
"flash-blub" V light - across an
800-mile area, and was un
officially-estimated to be .the
equivalent of some 15,000 tons
of TNT, actually in the medium

Strangely, the blast gave

Monmouth and Milwaukie indi
cated the home towns of How

success, Hatfield stated that "the
only route to success in 1956 for
the GOP is to do a good job in .
1955, and cursing of the opposi

In citing the Washington birth
day occasion, he compared the
first President to President

"has molded a unity of Republi

Greater Participation -
He stressed the need for youth
and greater women participation
in the GOP. Speaking generally;
he said that the GOP has not
only failed to get new youth to'
register Republican, but is losing
the youth "born into Republican
homes r to the Democrats.
He cited current national sta
tistics which revealed that of
citizens between the ages of 21
and 25, they were registering as
follows: 29 per cent ; GOP, 59
per cent Democrat and 12 per
