Special Session of Congress
Expected To Enact Highway Bill
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington A Northwest
congressman who has been in
the thick of the road building
political fight in Congress this
year feels confident President
Eisenhower will recall the law
makers back into a special ses
sion late this fall for the ex
press purpose of passing a high
way aid bill.
Rep. Russel V. Mack (R.
Wash.), a top GOP member of
the House Public Works Com
mittee, has urged both Eisen
hower and Republican Leader
Joe Martin to favor the special
session, in the wake of House
defeat last week of both Repub
lican and Democratic road build
ings programs.
"If we don't get a road bill
before January, we won't get one
at all," declared Mack. "That's
why I think the president will
call a special session."
To Be Supercharged
Mack pointed out that next
year's session will be super
charged with the politics that
always favor an election year
session and impede legislative
action. He said he thinks it will
be worse than this year's session,
which he called "themost politically-minded
session in my
experience."
Mack has come up with a
compromise bill he thinks might
unite both parties, who each
favor more federal highway aid
for roads but differ over how
they should be paid for.
At stake in the road fight,
Mack pointed out, is whether
or" not U.S. 99 from the Can
adian to the .Mexican border is
to become a modern interstate
road through western Oregon
and Washington, with four lanes
of divided highway equipped
with overpasses at intersections.
Program Imperative
"It is imperative that an ex
panded highway program be
started just as soon as possible.
Every day of delay means more
persons killed or maimed need
lessly," Mack said. "Death on
the highway does not wait while
0 Congress procrastinates. While
congressmen vacation, death goes
(Jhead killing an average of 100
persons a day, 3000 a month or
36,000 a year in highway traffic
accidents."
The road fight reached a dead
lock when Democrats defeated
the President's plan for financ
ing through revenue bonds,
which would not be included
in the national debt, and then a
Democratic bill for financing
through increased gas, oil and
tires was licked by a coalition
of Republicans and Democrats.
Mack's compromise involves
some of both proposals $5,
000,000,000 in bonds and $7,
622,500,000 in new taxes on gas
oline by a half cent, bringing in
$4,324,000,000 in 16 years; add-
Eisenhower Said
In Good Condition
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower's doctor said today
the Chief Executive "is in better
condition than the average man
of his age."
The presidential physician,
Maj. Gen. Howard McN. Snyder,
said the strains of the past few
months' heavy traveling and
work schedule have not shown
in Mr. Eisenhower's health.
Health is one of the year-from-now
factors which the President
says may influence his decision
on running for a second term.
He told his news conference
Thursday there would be "no
great use" for putting off the
decision if he were "such an
infallible prophet" that he could
speak now for next year "all
about the world situation, the
domestic situation and my own
situation." Elaborating on his
own situation, the President men
tioned the way he felt, and pos
sibly health "and everything
else."
"I have not that gift of prophecy,"-
he declared.

ing a cent to the tax on diesei
fuel, bringing in 5118,500,000;
four cents per pound on large
truck tires for $400,000,000; 2
cents on passenger car tires for
$1,447,000,000; and a two per
cent increase in excise tax on
trucks for $475,000,000.
Must Be Reconciliation,
"There must be some ground
on which Republicans who want
a bonding plan and Democrats
who want a tax plan can recon
cile their differences," said
Mack. "If Congress is to enact a
highway bill, Republicans like
myself who have fought for the
President's bonding plan must
agree to take some taxes as a
means of raising some revenue
for highways as wanted by the
Democrats; and the Democrats
who have opposed any bonding
must agree to take some bond
ing as desired by the Republi
cans." Some observers think Eisen
hower would be smart political
ly to call the Democratically
controlled 84th Congress back
into session to point up its fail
ure to enact any road program
this year. Also, as Mack sums it
up, this would be the best and
possibly only opportunity for
passing an acceptable highway
aid bill, with political consider
ations underlining every act of
the 1956 session that starts next
January.
No-Discomfort Drills
Tested by Scientists
Chicago U.R) Dental drills
that cause "virtually no discom
fort" to patients must undergo
further tests before they can be
made available for general use,
two scientists reported in the
Journal of the American Dental
Association.
An application of art industrial
tool used to cut mqtal and hard
minerals with precision, the
drills operate by means of high
speed vibrations which act upon
an abrasive mixture to perform
the cutting process.
Scientists said the new drills
do not produce the annoyance
from vibration caused by moving
parts of the usual rotary drill.

Editor's note: Aline Mosby is on
vacation. TV Star Danny Thomas won
two Emmys this year for his "Make
Room For Daddy" series. But today
he makes a startling suggestion
that he be declared ineligible next
year.
By DANNY THOMAS
Written for th United Press
Hollywood (U.R) I hope
"Make Room For Daddy," which
won two this year doesn't win
an Emmy next season. You heard
right.
I believe repeat awards are
unfair to other fine shows and
they place an unhealthy burden
on a winning series for the fol
lowing season. After all, where
can you go in television after
winning an Emmy?
Television isn't boxing. Rocky
Marciano must lay his crown on
the line every time he steps
into the ring. That's fine for a
sport based on the survival of
the fittest.
But television involves art. I
say any art form deteriorates in
the long run when subjected to
too much pressure. And striving
to win an Emmy involves prodi
gious pressure over and above
that of producing the show it
self. Solution Proposed
I propose that the Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences,
which awards the Emmy, should
declare all winners ineligible for
next season's awards.
The knowledge that a winner
can't repeat will provide incen
tive for other fine shows that
just missed an Emmy. I would
have breathed a lot easier and
slept sounder if I had known
that "I Love Lucy" had been
declared ineligible for an Emmy
this year.
We approached every episode
of "Make Room For Daddy" as
if it were a pilot show. By the
end of the season, the pressure
was almost unbearable.
At the academy dinner last
March I watched the faces of
last year's winners and saw
agony, in some of them. Most
of the old winners were still
on top of the TV heap. They
were still champions, yet they
were dethroned.
Let the old winners stand with
heads held high and present the
Emmy to the new victors.
This could result in better
television programs. The knowl
edge by an Emmy winner that
he will not lose prestige by fail
ing to repeat will permit him to
concentrate on producing a good
show every week. He can play
to the public instead of to the
trade.
Let's diwy up the Emmys a
little more. Television will be
better for it.
City Zoning Ordinances
Renovated By Cities
Chicago ttJ.R) Many cities
are bringing their zoning ordi
nances up to date, according to
the International City Managers'
Association.
The trend is shown by the fact
that more than 60 per cent of the
cities queried by the association
have adopted or revised their
present ordinances since 1946.
Of this number, 34 per cent
have done so since 1951. About
seven per cent were in the pro
cess of revising the mearly this
year.
Many zoning ordinances need
ed overhauling because of popu
lation shifts and growth.

Here it is, just past July, and what do you
think has happened?
Buick popularity has broken every past full
year record!
That's the gospel truth. And Buick, of course,
has had, many great year(s before.
At the beginning of this week, Buick pro
duction passed 600,000 cars for the 1955 '
model year.
That is over 155,000 more automobiles than
the full model year of 1954 when we cap
tured third place in total national sales.
It is more than 11,000 higher than the full
model year of 1950 when the automobile
industry had its greatest year, and Buick
established an all-time record that stood
unchallenged until now.
It is almost a quarter of a million more auto
mobiles than the full model year of 1941
which was the greatest prewar record Buick
ever reached.
In other words, there has never been any
thing like 1955 in Buick history when today
Buick is building over three cars every
. i km
minute to meet the public demand.
Doesn't this tell you something important?
Doesn't this soaring Buick success mean that
you owe it to yourself to see and sample the
car that's breaking every record in the Buick
book?
Doesn't; it mean that you ought to try Buick's
mighty V8 power Buick's great room and
comfort Buick's cruiser-steady ride and
roadability Buick's superb visibility and
precision handling ease?
. And doesn't it mean you certainly ought to
try Buick's Variable Pitch Dynaflow the
world's only transmission with the switch
pitch principle of the modern plane's
propeller and the most spectacular per
formance advance of the year?
Come in and see us this week, at the latest
and learn for yourself why today's Buick is
the biggest-selling Buick of all time and
how big a trade-in deal we can offer you with
this tremendous volume to back us up.
