Highway Building
Program Plus Sign
For Stock Market

New York IP) One of the
big plus signs for the future of
the stock market, as Wall Street
Vj'il views it, is the
V' 0 , . .
xeuerai n i g 11
w a y building
program.
So far the
program hasn't
produced the
activity that
the market
men had antic
ipated when
the federal
highway act of 1956 was passed.
That's mainly because of the
high cost of raising municipal
funds to match those of the U.S.
Treasurery, it is held.
But the plan is slowly develop
ing and it is expected to gain
momentum in the coming year.
This year's market was hurt
by the cuts in federal expendi
tures, notably for defense. Any
increase such as the highway
program would produce would
be seen as a real market aid.
Expected To Mushroom
The whole road plan is ex
pected to mushroom into a giant
construction project which will
boost employment and make
good business for a vast number
of companies in many lines of in
dustry. Estimates are that by 1970,
the grand total for highways will
be boosted to $100 billion, not
including maintenance.
That's a cumulative total, of
course, and a big one. The Alex
ander Hamilton Institute said
that even taking the minimum
figure of around S50 billion it
represents three and one-third
times the total expenditures for
the Public Works Administration
during the depression years, 17
times the entire investment to
date in TV A, and 79 times the
cost of building the Panama
Canal.
Not too many years ago, the
economy got a big lift when the
government paid a soldier bonus
that is dwarfed by the road pro
gram for one year. Hence the
feeling that when it really begins
to perk, the economy and the
stock market will benefit.
The American Petroleum In
stitute has figured out who's go
ing to pay for the roads the
users of the highways will pay,
says the institute's "Tax Econ
omics Bulletin."
The government, the bulletin
notes, is merely shifting the fed
eral taxes on motor fuel, motor
vehicles and other automotive
products from the general fund
to use of highway construction.
The bulletin records that the
average tax on house brand gaso
line has now reached a record
high at 8.86 cents a gallon with
the price of gasoline excluding
taxes less than two cents a gal
lon higher than it was in 1949.

DEATH TAKES EDITOR
New York (ID Lawrence A.
Audrain, 47, editor of the gra
phic arts magazine Print and
former reporter for London
newspapers, died Monday of a
circulatory ailment.
By DELOS SMITH
New York (tP) The scien
tific, common-sense way for a
doctor to dose an anxious patient
with "tranquil
izing" drugs is
to hold down
the doses
enough for
him to retain
some of his
anxiety, a phy
sician said to
day. For instance.
Delos Smith let him retain
a "mild over activity" of the
sympathetic nervous system,
"such as palpitations, sweating,
jitteriness, slips of the tongue
and the like," continued Dr. H.
Keith Fischer of the Temple
University Medical Center, Phil
adelphia. "This amount of anxiety is
compatible with efficient intel
lectual and physical work, ac
ceptable social activties, and
good physical health," he said.
But more important, from this
level the doctor can most effec
tively treat the emotional diffi
culties which cause anxiety.
"Psychotherapy" mind treat
ment is the only curative
treatment for over-anxiety, and
tranquilizers and other drugs
are useful only to the extent
that they make psychotherapy
easier and more effective, he as
serted. In applying it, the doctor
must help the anxious patient
to solve his problems, to mature
emotionally and to continue his
emotional "growth and develop
ment." He was lecturing medical men
on scientific common - sense
through the technical journal of
the American Academy of Gen
eral Practice, because there is
a great deal of unscientific non
sense about the tranquilizing
drugs among the general public,
even among doctors.
For one thing, tranquilizers
"cannot and should not be ex
pected to remove'.' the anxieties
which result from the ability of
the conscious mind to see things
and to be alarmed by some of
those things, he said, adding:
"Both physicians and patients
have in many instances uncrit
ically assumed or hoped that the
ataractics (tranquilizers) would
somehow handle this anxiety.
"Often they are disturbed
when their wonder drugs do not
work miracles. Can we expect
that a man under the influence
of the attractic will not react to
Mr. and Mrs. Leo Knapp, own
ers of Valley Park camp have
arranged to lease the motel near
the West fork bridge and will

Finishing touches to the new

Wooden markers have been

rails are up on drive ways lead

The State Highway depart

on the two bridge approaches.

a desperate person coming to
ward him with a knife, or not
withdraw if threatened by fire?
"It is unscientific and incon
ceivable that the ataractics can
produce an unemotional, unre
active brave superman who is
impervious to stimuli which for
years he has associated with
fear, harm and danger. And yet
both physician and patient have
been guilty of indiscriminately
expecting that these drugs would
produce such transformations."
He lamented the unsolved
problems rising from the fact
that different people react dif
ferently to the same drug, and
cited one study which showed
that "medications varying in
! dosage as much as 1,000 per cent
were necessary in seemingly I
calm and normal individuals to
produce a similar physical ef
fect." So the doctor dosing with tran
quilizers has to watch carefully
the level of anxiety-reduction
and adjust the dosages accord
ingly. "Anxiety is as necessary as
pain unless it is overwhelming
and leading to psychical or phy
sical deterioration," Dr. Fischer
said. "But if our therapeutic goal
be to eliminate anxiety com
pletely, we lost the valuable
signal that tells us that we are
approaching danger or that there
is a problem that needs solving."
