BY JOHN PEELE

RALEIGH, Feb. 1-CR-The twin
joint money committees, whose
tempo sets the pace for the gener-
al assembly, will wind up a sched-
ule Of public hearings next week
and knuckle down to action on the
appropriations and revenue bills.
The finance group has set aside
Tuesday afternoon to hear final
pleas for tax reductions. President
Frank P. Graham of the Greater
University of North Carolina will
be the last spokesman for increas-
ed appropriations to be heard by
the spending committee Of an as
sembly which basked last Thurs
day in the hospitality Of the uni
versity.
The finance committee has ap-
proved the revenue bill, except for
a section which exempts food and
Bibles from the sales tax, and
which is still Under consideration.
Several other measures, however,
aWit finance committee action.
Senator Long of Halifax has offer
ed a proposal to levy a 50-cents
fee on, auto tags to provide a fund
for disqualification of accident vic
tins.
Action last week by the commit
tee on proposition and grievances
indicated that controversial liquor
bills would be heaped in the lap Of
the finance committee. The meas
ure to ban sale of fortified wine in
IA dry counties was given a IA
vorable recommendation by the
house committee on propositions
and grievances and then sent to
the finance committee for further
consideration. The budget COM
mission estimated that liquor taxes
would yield the state close to $5,-
900, 900 during the coming bien-
mum.

MEXICO CITY - (Correspon-
dence of the Associat-i Press)-
A long, smooth ribbon of asphalt
running south from S-n Antonio
has transformed once-remote parts
of Mexico into a travel wonderland
right next door.
Spin 900 miles down the new
Pan-American highway and you're
in the heart of this land of kalei-
doscopic variety, Mexico City-a
400 year-old metropolis that prob
ably is as near an approach to
charming pre-war Paris as a tour
list can find.
The highway, and the hotels,
restaurants and filling stations along
it are as fresh, modern, clean and
efficient as any to be found in a
corresponding stretch of highway
in the United States.
Down this highway, $50 miles in
the United States and $50 miles in
Mexico, stream dozens and hum
dreds of foreign-travel-hungry
American tourists automobiles ex-
ploring the ever-changing scenery
of desert, jungle, bleak and tropi-
cal Mexico.
They find awaiting them among
mountain and plateau roads all the
accommodations to which they are
accustomed at home. 1t was over
this road that Vice President Hen
ry A. Wallace recently went to
Mexico, and from Mexico City took
some of the many connecting high
ways that are opening up the ma
ton to travel.
A dozen years ago Mexico en-
parked upon a highway building

pletely isolated country, much OF
it previously readable only by
muleback Or boat.
Along a most precarious ledge
hammered out painfully by indians
and their little hammers through
the mountains, I journeyed with a
band Of government officials in
1881 to a remote cloud-topped
mountain in 1881 for the ceremony
equivalent to driving of a golden
spike.
The trail, building from both
ends, had met, and dynamite re-
moved the last rock barrier of
an impressive if chilly round of
official speechs. The cars from
Mexico City slipped past after in
dians had smoothed the road, and
the Pan American highway was

for tourists.
