S. Bureau of Public Roads. Actually, the bureau said, 9,107 miles of Interstate high ways arc now in use. They consist of 3,693 miles built to 1975 traffic standards, 3,140 miles that are adequate now but will need improve ment to reach 1975 expecta tions, and 2,274 miles of toll expressways incorporated in to the Interstate system. Total outlay for completed Interstate roads has reached S3.6 billion in federal-state funds, with the federal gov ernment paying 90 per cent of the total cost, the bureau re ported. Another 15,000 miles of the coast-to-coast system are in various stages of development -from planning to paving. These projects, the bureau said, add up to another $5.1 billion in cost, making a to tal of $8.7 billion spent or committed for the Interstate network in its first four years. Spending Spurt Conventional primary, sec ondary and urban highways receivinE federal aid also have experienced a tremen dous spending spurt during the same period. Bureau fig ures show that 100,000 miles of non-interstate road proj ects - involving $9.5 billion in combined state and federal spending - are completed, with 20,000 more miles underway. All revenue for the federal share of the more than $18 billion spent or committed to highway projects since 1956 -and most of the money for the state's participation comes from special taxes on motorists, principally taxes on gasoline, a survey showed. Nationwide, these have risen to an average of 10 cents per gallon, four cents of which is federal taxes. To put the federal system on a pay-as-you-go basis, the federal gasoline tax was boosted in 1956 from two to three cents per gallon. Pro ceeds from this levy, along with taxes from heavy ve hicles, tires and tubes and half the proceeds from the lax on new trucks and buses, were earmarked for a spe cial federal Highway Trust Fund. Bureau figures showed that during the first four years, the federal government col lected $14.3 billion from all its taxes on motor vehicle ownership and use, but $6.2 billion of this money did not go into the Highway Trust Fund. Tax Increased Last year, when the High way Trust Fund was headed for a deficit, Congress again increased the gasoline tax -to four cents a gallon effec tive Oct. 1, 1959, but with the provision the added cent of tax would expire June 30, 1 1961. On that date, according to the legislation, the expired cent of the gasoline tax would be replaced by allocating to the trust fund one half of the proceeds from the 10 per cent lax on new automobiles plus five-eighths of the receipts from the 8 per cent tax on automotive parts and acces sories. The legislation pro vided that this financing ar rangement would stay in ef fect until June 30, 1964. If Congress adheres to this plan, the result will be an ac tual increase in funds avail able to the highway program, according to official govern ment estimates. NATO Secretary Discounts that A War Will Come Paris- IUPD -NATO's highest ranking civil servant agrees with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev that war is im probable. The reasons given by NATO Secretary General Paul Henri Spaak in an official pamph let widely circulated here are the same as those most ex perts attribute to Klirusncnev -that in the present state of affairs neither side believes it has a gambling man's chance of winning. "Men have always fought up to the present . . . because ... at least one of the sides and frequently both thought they were going to win," Spaak declared in the last edition of the NATO Current Topics pamphlet. "7i.tnrv " he said, "was a very precise notion. It carried with it the possibility, after a period of struggle, of gain ing territorial or uauiut vantages. "Nowadays, no statesman ... can hope to Deiicve . . . that victory in the sense in which it was for so long un derstood, would be passible after a world war in which atomic weapons were to be used. 'Nowadays, the idea of mil itary victory is a senseless one," Spaak continued. "The whole problem of war has changed. A possible aggressor today would be confronted with a problem which lias never existed before. "The problem ... is simul taneously to destroy all the bases from which a reprisal ......1,1 i.n lannrlirH. If the (aggressor) is not capable of doing that, he will have caused terrifying dam age to his enemy, but he will not have been able to defend his people against an equally i..rirvino counterstroke. Tiiiii i whv recourse to war is improbable." oni-man Dnfonso Min :.i- Fran .lnscf SlrailSS, in r.,r.,nl inlprvioW with UPI, said he though Khrushchev opposes war only so long as he doubts the Communist world can win It. Khrushchev, the German minister believes, is not op posed to war in principle. Spaak ppered to share this .essmeni. He sid in the pamphlt tht, wr he Khrushchev, 1 would say to himself "I hvc bome the qual of the stronger. poer in Vke West, and I fin that all o( this is of ip'jsolutcly no use Jorc li8jcvcr-l c ul t lis Y fr 1,0 "&'er & O 0 how strong I am, my people are wide open to American reprisals. For this reason, Spaak be lieves the East-West struggle will in the future center in the world's underdeveloped countries. "Hence, he said, "the prop er way in which to defend the free world ... is to solve the problem of the underde veloped countries, particular ly those in Africa, for the ripslinv of Eurorje will be de cided in Africa. . . " But NATO as now consti inipH Snaak continued, is in capable of dealing with this new problem. "We should break down the limits of this regional pact," he said, "We should ... get rid of our 'maginot line' com plex. For what would it in fact avail us to be strong on the Elbe, if our flank were turned in the Middle East or we were taken in the rear in Africa? 'A psychological revolu tion ... is necessary."
