Them was a time when Secre tary of Stale John Foster Dulles had the airlancs virtually to him self as he hopped around the world in quest of peace. Now everybody's doing it, in eluding the big guys themselves America's Kisenhower, Ihe Soviet's Khrushchev, Kngland's Marmillan and France's He G : lie. The travel cpidemn; that struck Ihe world's leaders in lilM shows tw signs of abating during the rcxt year. The year was hardly under way when Macmillan was off lo cheek up on some trouble spots among mnnwcalth partners in Africa. The Macmillan jaunt can he clas sified under the general heading of straightening out or mollifying some of the younger members of the family. Other diplomatic junkets fall in Ihe categories of U dropping in for a chat with friendly or neutral neighbors, and (2) having a heart lo-heart talk with the bully across the street. Eisenhower is off next monlh on a mission similar to Macmil- ian's trip. The President will visit Brazil, Argentine. Chile and Uruguay, four friendly little nations on a con inent where Vice President Nixon was stoned loss than two years ago. At the same lime, Khrushchev is planning to he in Indonesia and probably India and Burma, Ihree neutral nations which have been Britain's dependencies and com-lgetting disillusioned by the activi ties of their neighbor Communist China. Also on the Khrushchev agend is Paris in March, perhaps to put a bee in the ear of De Gaulle Hie proud, stubborn Frenchman who has shown signs of dissatis faction with the Western alliance De Gaulle himself will be on the move in April with visits lined up lo Ottawa and Washington and probably several other American cities. Then, in June, comes the Eisen bower visit lo Moscow, a return journey to even up for Khruschev's inspection trip of the United States last September. The travel bug first bit the .vorld leaders , in August, 1951. when Eisenhower loured England, France and West Germany to as sure friends that the coming Khru- hchev visit didn't mean he was deserting them. Khrushchev himself followed up his American swing with a fast trip to Peiping, possibly to assure Mao Tse-Tung that the Atlantic crossing didn't mean that he was deserting the Chinese. '.Not to be outdone, Eisenhower picked December to make the most spectacular tour of them all his 22,000-mile trip through Europe, Asia and North Africa Meanwhile, De Gaulle sneaked off for a comparatively short visit to Dakar in the French African community, where erics for com plete independence have grown louder in recent months. The moral of it seems to be this: Don't be surprised if Khru shchevor De Gaulle or Macmil lan pops up at your backyard barbecue next summer. World peace, according to the new diplomatic philosophy, might be found anywhere. Interstate Highway System Suffers From Costs By CHARLES STAFFORD AP Newsfeaturcs Writer Like a huge jigsaw puzzle, the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways is beginning to take shape. But financing the su perhighways is a pressing problem. With funds running short, Ihe pdminislration has clamped con trols on the states. Each state has been told how much it can spend nd how fast. Meanwhile, planners in Washing ton are looking for ways to in crease revenues or decrease costs No solution has been found. The Federal Bureau of Roads has not yet compiled miles-com pleted figures including last year's work. However, the American Au tomobile Assn. found in a slnlc-hy-state survey that 6,7!M miles now are open to traffic (see map). An interstate system was first proposed about 35 years ago, as a result of the frustration the Army experienced in trying to move sup plies and men around the country during World War 1. The highways which are being rebuilt or newly laid lo form the multi-lane controllcd-acccss inter slate system comprise only 1.2 per cent of the nation's total road mileage, but the routes carry one seventh of all American motor ve hicle traffic. They serve 65 per cent of Ihe nation's urban popula tion and 45 per cent of its rural population. They join 42 state capi tals and !I0 per cent of all cities aver 50,000 population. Under the 11156 Federal-Aid High way Program, the government agreed to put up !tn per cent of the cost of the superhighways while Ihe stales contributed only 10 per cent. Target dale for completion was l;72. : i ih -V if SOURCE: AMERICAN automobTie assooatkm f : 1 1 cwjv sfji- uwijg i2 - COMPUTED SECTIONS OF ' INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM boo ?.ooo J.SM 114 I AtttZ.

Committee Hits Siberian Move WASHINGTON (UPH - The House Committee on Un-American Activities reports that hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are being forcibly reset tled in Siberia and Turkestan by Ihe Communists. The committee released Sunday the sixth in a series of reports of Ihe "crimes of ( Soviet Premier Nikila S t Khrushchev." The re port said the relocation was Irom the Baltic stales, the Ukraine and Byelorussia. Masked Man Robs Market PORTLAND (AP-The masked man walked into the supermarket Saturday niyht and. sure enough, ne pulled out a pistol. In rapid succession he: Fired a shot into Ihe air. Grabbed $1H0 Irom a cash drawer. Ran into the night with his loot Of the male and female black spider, Ihe latter is the most dan gerous. New York, with 1,277 miles al located in the system, has complet ed 612 miles for a larger percen lage than any other state. Pennsyl vania with 543 of an allocated 1,527 miles is next. While not much highway seems to have been built in the first three years, roads officials explain that preliminary studies and right-of-way purchases took much of the money spent at the start. Very few long stretches are open to traffic. Most of these are in the northeast and generally arc loll roads. These highways were built outside the program but were incorporated into the system. Ex amples are the Pennsylvania and Ohio Turnpikes and the New York Thruway. Rising costs have all but stymied hopes of having the network com pleted by the 1972 target date. In the last three years, the estimated cost of building these roads has risen by 13'i million dollars or nearly 50 per cent. Last summer, with revenues to support the program falling short President Eisenhower proposed a cent and a half increase in the federal gasoline tax to make up the deficit. Congress cut Ibis to a one-cent increase for 21 months. That's when the Bureau of Roads clamped firm controls on state pending. The Roads and Highway Safety Committee of Ihe Council of State Governments, headed by Gov. Ab raham Ribicoff of Connecticut, has appealed to Ihe President to re slore cuts in the spending pro ram and lift the controls. In his recent budget message he President asked Congress to increase the gasoline tax a half- cent and continue the l'.i-cent in crease including last year's boost for five years. He also has a special White House group studying ways of in leasing revenues or cutting costs By law, the program must oper ale on a pay-as you-build basis ind Ihe administration seems de- ermincd lo keep it that wav this precludes financing by long- erm bonds. It has been suggested that ur ban superhighways be eliminated from the program since they rep cscnt very little mileage but ac count for an estimated 42 per cent of the program's total cost. But his is a politically explosive prop osition. Urban motorists will pav close to half the cost of the inter state system. Sens. Albert Gore (D-Tcnnl and Thomas H. Kuchel iR-Califi have warned that there would be bipar isan opposition to a proposal of his kind. There is also a chance that the government will lower its share of he contributions. But this would have to be approved bv eluctant Congress. Morse Leader Tells Plans SALEM (AP) - Petitions place the name of Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Orc) on the Oregon Democratic presidential primary ballot will carry 5.000 signatures E. G. Ncal said Sunday. Neal, who is chairman of the Morsc-for-Presidcnt Committee, said Ihe petitions will be filed later this month. Neal, a retired logger and con slruction worker, says he hope: to have signatures from some pre cincts in all of Oregon's 36 coun ties. At Toledo, Ohio, Sunday ni"ht Morse was introduced by a ban quel speaker as "the next pre. dent of the United States." Morse said the chairman appar ently was "suffering from illusion which I don't share." Morse said he is considering entering the Wisconsin primary and some others. He has said he hopes to win delegates but he does not expect to win the presi dency. Sinking Told By Coxswain NEAH BAY, Wash.
