MONDAY. MAY 19. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS KLAMATH FALLS.' OREGON PAGE SEVEN Highway Cost Estimates Hit WASHINGTON OP - Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn) said today an 11 state check has shown "a disturb ing lack of uniformity" in ways of preparing cost, estimates for the interstate highway network. The estimates form the basis on which federal funds are allocated among the states. Lack of uniform ity in the estimates would tend to increase some states' shares and lower others. The federal govern ment pays 90 per cent of the cost of the interstate superhighways. Gore said the system was criti cized in a report from the General Accounting Office, which made the study at his request. The report noted, however, that the Bureau ol Public Roads defended its ap portionments as fair and reason able. The senator said the Public Koads subcommittee he heads will meet tomorrow to consider the GAO report. Because federal aid funds for highways must be voted and ap portioned well ' in advance, Gore said, the division among states for fiscal 19d9. which begins July 1, and fiscal 1960, a year later, must stand. Gore said in a statement the GAO sampling survey found that design standards, .traffic esti mates, and costs lacked the uni formity asked by Congress in passing the Highway Act. States involved in the GAO check were California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois. Kansas, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington. LOS ANGELES wi Gift-EivinB Lt. Gen.

"Every cent I have spent came from my own personal account. Not a penny came from the taxpayers of the United States. Not a penny came from the tax-F-tvers of the Dominican Republic." His free-spending ways have brought him under fire from U.S. congressmen. In House debate on a mutual aid bill last week, Rep. Charles O.

Photo byJHarris Solon Says Work Reform Bills May Pass Congress WASHINGTON OB Congress has its best chance in a decade to pass major labor reform legislation, Sen. Irving M. Ives iR-NYl says. But he cautioned that Congress must avoid a partisan approach. saying. It is tragic to approach these problems as a political is For the first time since passage of the Taft-Hartley law in 1947, Ives said in a radio address, re- sponsibile union leaders now are offering to cooperate op what he called reasonable labor legislation. Without naming them, he said some senators favor drastic anti union legislation and would prefer no law at all than one short of their demands. This "rule or ruin attitude is no way to tackle the problems un covered by the Senate Rackets Committee." Ives added He is senior Republican on the committee headed by Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark) which has been probing improper labor-nianage-incnt activities. Referring to .the group's dis closures, he said some union lead ers have made progress in clean ing up labor's house, "but they need the federal government's help in this effort." The proposed legislation is de signed primarily to protect rank and file union members, Ives said, but "it also will benefit manage ment by introducing greater re sponsibility into labor-management relations. Secretary of Labor Mitchell, in a television interview, said Con gress has a mandate to legislate protection for all labor union funds. He expressed hope the House will pass a bill, already passed by the Senate, to regulate welfare pension funds. But he urged Con gress to go further and enact President Eisenhower s labor pro posals, including legislation to regulate handling of dues and ini tiation fees and to provide secret balloting for union officers.
