Congress To Take Close Look
At Road Beautification
By ED ROGERS
United Press International .
WASHINGTON PI) — Con
gress is he to take a
critical look soon at President
Johnson’s proposals for keeping
the nation’s interstate highways
building and beautified at the
same time.
In some quarters It may be
a horrified look. Many House
members already are accusing
the President of trying to do
too much with too little.
The President, in his budget
proposals for fiscal 1967, sought
to meet looming shortages in
interstate construction finances
In two ways:
—A slight increase in the
diesel fuel tax, with assign
ment of one-seventh of the 7
per cent auto excise tax to the
Interstate Highway Trust Fund,
now financed solely by highway
users’ taxation.
—Stretch out the 41,000-mile
program by extending the com
pletion deadline from October,
1972, to February, 1973. (It got
underway in 1956 and only half
the mileage is completed.)
But, critics say, these pro
posals are based on 1963 nrices
and rising construction costs
(2.5 per cent a year) are. to a
great extent, slowing down the
mammoth 16-year program.
In state after state, highway
officials are forecasting com
pletion delays until 1975 or even

the beginnings of a culture which was
which, eventually because to embrace a quarter of Asia and
of its physical isolation, was
to endure relatively unchanged down to our
own day.
golden According to tradition, this was China’s
age. While the Egyptians were build
ing whom the first pyramids, legendary sage-kings,
later Chinese like Confucius were to
look back on as model rulers, were teaching
the “black-haired people” how to cultivate the
fertile yellow earth, to drain the marshes,
domesticate animals, erect dwellings, make
weapons of bronze with which to conquer
savage tribes.
The wife of the sage-king Huang Ti showed
the people how to make thread from the
cocoons of the silkworm. During the reign of
1978 unless more drastic fiscal
steps are taken.
Beautification Last Straw
But the last straw, in the
view of many highway officials
outside the administration, is
Johnson’s insistence that all ex
isting highways and new ones
must be beautified. There must
be landscaping, auto junkyards
must be screened, and so forth.
It all comes out of the same
trust fund, financed now by the
federal motor fuel taxes, use
taxes on heavy trucks, and cer
tain other levies.
Some jittery state politicians
are showing an increasing in
terest in toll roads or other
types of financing instead of
waiting for the slower federal
money.
In Georgia, for example,
there Is increasing concern that
Main-to-Miami Interstate 95 will
never get built. Ten state legis
lators recently took a sharp
look at roll-road prospects.
In fact, state - level lmpa
tience, with its threat of frag
menting the interstate system
with toll stretches, became a
prime concern of recent hear
ings before another House pub
lie works subcommittee.
Hearings To Begin
The nationwide superhighway
system was envisioned as toll
free.
Next Tuesday, the House
Public Works Road Subcommit-
(2) Out of the Yellow Earth
tee will begin hearings on the
authorization phases of the
Joiinson proposals. No date has
teen set for House Ways &
Means Committee hearings on
the financing aspects.

Military Asked For
ATLANTA (UPI) — City of
ficials were hoping today they
could cut through military red
tape and borrow a temporary
Army combat bridge to replace
a local one which collapsed
early Monday.
The old Howell Mill Road
bridge over the main line of
the Southern Railway tracks
fell after a truck loaded with
5,000 gallons of asphalt plowed
into the side of the bridge and
ruptured a gas main. The gas
and the asphalt ignited and set
fire to the truck and bridge.
Demos Favor
Law On Party
Affiliation
MACON, Ga. (UPI) — Travis
Stewart, secretary of Georgia’s
Democratic Executive Commit
tee, said Monday that state
party officials favor a law re
quiring Georgians to designate
their party affiliation.
Stewart told the Bibb County
Women's Democratic Club that
under the proposed law voters
would cast ballots for candi
dates of their own party choice
in primaries. He said the pro
posed law would not affect gen
eral elections.
Stewart also said women vot

Georgia by nearly 120,000.

Johnson proposes diverting avi

Rep. William C. Cramer, R

The driver of the truck,
Ralph Campbell, 38, of Bryant,
Ala., dragged himself from the
burning debris. He suffered a
broken leg and body burns.
Authorities said it would be
several months before the
bridge could be rebuilt but the
can’t wait because of the
to route traffic over
bridge. So City Construction
Chief Ray Nixon called on, some
old Army engineer friends hop
ing to get a spare bridge.
Nixon said officials want a
portable Army "Bailey Bridge”
which would slide across the
site of the old bridge and re
main as a temporary bridge
until a permanent replacement
could be built.
If the red tape clears, a tem
porary structure could be in
place within two weeks.
