Washington Candidates for Congress aren't talking much about it, but the chances are that motorists will be ask ed next year to pay another penny a gallon in federal gaso line tax. Object of the hike will be to rescue the 41,000 mile network of interstate highways from the financial troubles that have overtaken it in only four short years. . Public confidence in the program may be somewhat shaken when a special House public works subcommittee resumes hearings - probably after the election - on allega tions of corruption, waste and mismanagement.- Chai r m a n John A. Blatnik (D-Minn.) has hinted that new disclosures will make past fault-finding seem "like a tea party." Testimony given earlier this year brought out the fact that some overpasses on the new roads were built too low to allow passage of trucks carry ing giant ballistic missiles. The subcommittee was" told also about an alleged overpay ment of $524,689 to an Okla homa contractor on a 13-mile stretch of the system near Tulsa.- Intensive subcommit tee, investigations are now under way in at least six states. May Not Be Easy rushing a gas tax increase through Congress may not be easy after another round of hearings on what Presi-lent Eisenhower once called "the greatest public works program in history." But federal and state officials assert that oc casional cases of maladminis tration and skulduggery should not be allowed to hold up progress on a vast highway program of vital importance to:v the national economy. Even so, Congress may well insist that, if the gas tax has to be raised, federal controls over the largely state-admin- OndedDr arno KMX 'no i MM HUM that M M U Unmix l the thwtrt Bwdon I New by fttertBWi mm tlur M Hart a arltmMM.

But the fi nancing plan prescribed by Congress was based on cost estimates of $27.5 billion - a toal since raised to $40 bil lion. The funding troubles were multiplied in 1958, when it was decided to step up spending - without providing for additional revenue - as an anti-recession measure. As a result, Congress now must dig up an additional $10 bil lion to $13 billion if the road system is to be finished by the 1972 target date. Longer Construction Period A tempting way out would be to spread construction over a longer period,, thus making it unnecessary to increase taxes. But this is viewed as politically inexpedient. Motor ists want the roads, and the states want to cash in quickly on the opportunity to build superhighways with the fed eral government paying 90 per cent of the cost. Some members of Congress would eliminate the pay-as-you-go requirement of the 1956 act and borrow from the Treasury's general fund. Fi nancing now is based on the theory that the full cost should be borne by the highway users. In the absence of agreement on any of the above steps, most observers think another increase in "the federal gaso line tax will be imposed. One- cent increases ordered in 1956 and again in 1959 raised the federal levy to 4c a gallon, and state gas taxes average 6c a gallon. Some Inkling of what may be recommended may be given when the Commerce De partment reports on a current study of the direct and indi rect benefits that various groups may expect to receive from the new highways. These findings are intended to serve as a guide to equitable distri bution of the tax burden. Construction Proceeding Meanwhile, construction of the network of controlled-ac-cess superhighways is pro ceeding, A Bureau of Public Roads progress report shows that about 9,100 miles of the 41,000-mile system had been opened to traffic by July 1, and that another 4,700 miles were under construction. How ever, only 3,693 of the com pleted highway miles had been built to estimated traffic demands of 1975, and 2,274 miles consisted of bridges, tunnels and toll roads built by the states and simply Incor porated into the interstate system.- Your BEST PASSPORT to a Successful Career REGISTER NOW Sept. 26 FALL TERM Sept. 26 Office Open Saturdays, 8:00 to 12:00 A.M.

Members of the committee will report on activities to be held during the week of Oct. 16 to salute this area s lumber Industry and forest products. Chairman of the committee is Ivan Harrington. . New surveys indicate that future highway demands may surpass what was expected five years ago when plans for the intereslate system were drawn up. These surveys seem to confirm fears of traffic analysts that building bigger highways only produces big ger traffic jams. Many ex perts are sure that the number of automobiles will always in crease as fast as, or faster than, highway Improvements. There have been complaints that some sections of the new interstate highway system al ready are inadequate to handle the traffic load. Talk has been heard in Congress of adding another 7,000 miles to the network. It is clear that the lnterestate system never will be truly completed.

According to accepted tech nical theory, Goodbody says, violation of the triple bot tom the level has already been "tested" three times this year would indicate a further substantial decline. There are enough people watching this level so that a break-through would bring on a substantial volume of sell ing, the firm says, but it doubts that the stock market as a whole would decline very far. , Scattered among the rather dreary statistic-based busi ness forecasts is plenty of ev idence - that businessmen do not actually feel as pessimis tic as the commonly - used figure yardsticks would have them, according to Thomson tc McKinnon. !
