This would mean sharply reduced annual al locations of federal funds to the states. Rejecting the administra tion's demands for an increase in the federal gasoline tax, the com mittee proposed that the current financial emergency be met in this fashion: 1 1. Issue up to a billion dollars of highway revenue bonds. . ' 2. Extend the program four years beyond the present 1972 termination date. French Trotter Gets Artichokes And All Is Serene At Track Now WESTBURY, N Y. UP1-Ja- nun, the trench harness racing champion with the exotic feeding habits, will get the artichokes he requires for his American debut Saturday night. In response to an appeal by Roosevelt Raceway officials, the village of Castroville, Calif., is shipping 180 pounds of artichokes by a United Airlines plane so that Jamin will enjoy the proper diet in preparation for the Aug. 1 In augural International trot. Jamin is one of the favorites in the rich race. Roosevelt Raceway representa tives will be on hand at Idlewild Airport when the plane is due to arrive at 8:30 a.m. e.d.t. today They will immediately load the artichokes aboard a helicopter bound for the race track where Jamin is stabled. Track olficials said that no sooner had they made the an nouncement that they were having trouble obtaining artichokes for Jamin's feed bin when they were flooded with offers of help. A man for the New York bor ough of the Bronx oftered some artichokes which he raised in his back yard. And a lady from Con necticut also offered some which she grows in her greenhouse When Roosevelt's appeal for help appeared in the Monterey Peninsula Herald, IS miles from Castroville, Eugene Boggiatto of the Ranch and Packing Co. hired school children to collect the sea son's first crop of artichokes for shipment to New York. As to proposal No. 1: ' It means writing it on the cuff ind adding it to the national debt. The effect of Proposal No. 2 would be to STRETCH OUT the program, so that less money would be required each year. Note, please, that the commit tee's proposals don't seem to pro vide a choice. The idea is to go deeper in debt and at the same time extend the construction pe riod. - The probable result would be to spend MORE money and go DEEPER into debt. Why not raise the gasoline tax If the roads MUST be built? The answer is rather simple. The politicians don't think that a tax increase even for building roads would be popular in an election year. More from Washington: . - The house of representatives to day passed a $3,186,500,000 foreign aid bill that, if finally enacted into law will cut about 700 million dollars from the President's re quest for foreign aid - money . The President says at his news conference that the reduction would damage the foreign aid pro gram seriously. Would it? It MIGHT. But t .', There can be little douht that if approached seriously and pur posefully the problem could be solved by cutting 700 million dol lars of WASTE out of the foreign aid program. That prompts a thought: If all the waste could be cut out of government spending, taxes could be reduced materially and the huge national debt could be paid off in a reasonable period of time.
