Big Four Practicing Diplomacy By Jet Plane
By TOM IIKNSIIAW
AP Newsfcatures Writer
Anxious citizens of Hie Big Four
countries, checking the arrival and
departure columns in recent weeks,
can't he blamed or wondering
"Who's home minding the
tore?"
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.

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

the Baltic stales, the Ukraine and
Byelorussia.

PORTLAND (AP-The masked

Fired a shot into Ihe air.

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.
