MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12. 1961"
Interstate Road
System Is Over
20 Completed
By United Press International
This nation's 41,000-mile
Interstate Superhighway Sys
tem, inaugurated four years
ago, Is more than one-Iifth
completed, according to the
latest figures available from
the U. 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."
