NEW YORK t Some call It
"turnpike lever." Others, "toll
roaclllla." Symptoma vary, but the
malady la highly contagious. It
quicken Jhe pulse ol Investment
bankers, Olnwmakrrs - and slate
highway olficlala and produces a
rash ol publlo demands for bolter
roads.
So far, there Is only one known
cure float a huge bond Issue and
bruin constructing a multilane
speedway of Ihe future, with toll
booths at appropriate Interval.
Tomorrow. Kentucky will auc
tion 38 j million dollars of turn
pike revenue bonds to finance a
40-mlle loll road from Louisville
to Kllrabrthtown. On June IB. the
New York Btote Thruway Authori
ty will come to market with 300
million dollars of almllar obliga
tions, second part of a financing
venture to build a '4n-mile toll
road from New York City to Buf
falo. flut Hits Is (.illy a sampling. PI
nnnclal circles around Wall Street,
the men whose job it la to. raise
money for theso project, are con
vinced that America Is Just on the
verge -of iVw rosd-bullding era.
Coupled with this conviction Is the
foreboding question will land traf
fic finnncmlly aupporl all the new
toll road.-.?
There are only ato miles; of toll
ronds In operation In the' United
males, costing about 074 million
dollars. That's not Impressive when
matched with Ihe 37.000 miles In
In the C, 8. highway system.
But more than a thouyand miles
of similar thrmvays are alrendy
tinder construction at a cost ol
more than a billion and a hall dol
lars. And 5.000 additional miles ol
toll highways have cither been au
ihorued or prrnmsed at a projected
col of nearly six billion dollars.
Newest speedway Is slated to
open Aug. I. It's the West Virginia
turnpike, an iw-mlle atrip through
rincged ninunlnlns, It took 123 mil
lion dollars of bonds lo build.
The need for superhighways be
comes apparent when one realties
that IS per cent of the nation's
traffic passes over less than 1 per
cent of the highways.

Benson Faces
By OVID A. MARTIN
AP farm Reporter
WAH1IINOTON Ul Becrctary of
Agriculture Benson la seeking to
avoid If at all possible the use of
taxpayers' money to buy back
markets butter haa lost lo lower
priced margarine and other com
petitive food producta.
But whether he will be able lo
do this Is a big question being
poncd III farm circles. Working
against him Is a threat ol spoil
age of big government surpluses.
Late In the winter, Benson an
nounced with aonve enthusiasm
that he would put the government's
big stocks of butter on bargain
counters. This butter about 300
million pounds of It was a purl
of the dairy induatry'a production

that consumers would not buy, at
least not at Ihe prices set under
the government's price support
program. These prices were about
three times Ihe price of marga
rine. Weeks, and finally months, went
by and the secretary kept post
poning hla cut-price program.
Then came hla recent announce
ment that tho whole thing was olf.
Ho aald he had changed his mind
because 11 would cost Ihe govern
ment loo much lo aril the butter
to consumers at reduced prices,
and because, In his opinion, such
a program would not solve the
problem of "too much" butter in
the lulure.

Huge U.S. Butter Surplus
clusion there waa danger that what
might be billed as a "temporary"
program for disposal of a current
butter surplus might develop Into
a permanent subsidy program un
der which butter would be sold
to consumers below cost. The gov
ernment would make up the dif
ference to producers.
Benson's evident fear waa found
ed partly on tho fact that current
production Is so far In excess of
consumer buying that 11 might take
a year lo la months to work the
government out of Ihe surplus busi
ness. Benson said there was real dan
ger that a disposal plan could re
sult in the government buying and
selling all the butter produced In
the United States buying it at the
support price of about 57 cents a
pound and selling it back to dis
tributors to retail It at about 39
cents. ,
Assuming that a government-subsidized
retail price of 34 cents
would boost consumption to a point
where, after a year or so, It took
all of the production and Uie gov
ernment surpluses, olllclals would
face a difficult Job In withdrawing
the subsidy.
HUPPOIIT LKVKI.H
Once the government halted the
cut-price deal, butter prices would
have to be raised again to the
support levels. That would mean
retail prices of 65 cents or higher.
Doubtless, a lot of consumers
would stop buying butter and re-
1 turn to margarine because of the
price difference. Again production
of butter would be In excess of
demand. The extra butter would
move Into government hands again
and the government would soon
find Itself back where It started.
Soon It would have to start a new
disposal plan.
There was also the possibility
and Benson undoubtedly thought of
this that consumers and produc
ers, having enjoyed the benefits of
the subsidized price, would protest
against Its being ended.
Benson contends the dairy In
dustry should make greater efforts

to sell more fluid milk. Should tho
government get Into the bualneaa
of subsidising butter consumption,
there would be little Incentive to
sell the surplus as milk Instead of
in the form of butter.
SCHOOL PROGRAM
Bcmmn'a ability to avoid a but
ler aubsldy program will rest
largely on the auccess of his el
Ions lo sell the government aur
plus butter abroad and to move
It Into such noncommercial domes,
tic uses as the school program,
public Institutions and relief dis
