Bureau estimates indicate a $5h
billion deficit this year and an
other of equal size next year. This,
of course, unless Congress makes
substantial cuts in appropriations.
Where, then, would the Federal
Establishment obtain the addition

billion-dollar-a-year spending pro-

ration's two social welfare meas
ures which would be financed by

$500 Million To
Be Paid By Ohio
Highway Users

Ohio Highway users this year
will pay a total of 5000 million in
Federal and State taxes, 6212 per
cent Of which is used exclusively
for highway purposes.
There should be no additional
taxes against highway users.
And, in the interest of Ohio's
taxpayers, the states spending of
tax money for highway building
should be carefully directed.
These are findings disclosed to-
day in a report of a special COM
mittee of the Ohio Highway Users
Conference in Columbus recently,
which sharply criticized the build
ing of highways which last only
10 or II years.
No one administration was criti-
cized. The report, adopted by the
Conference, was impartial in this
respect.
The report called attention to
the states estimate-four and a
half billion dollars-needed to cor
rect existing deficiencies in Ohio
highways, 70 per cent more than
the amount estimated by the next
highest state, California.
The report also pointed to the
fact that more highway user re-
venues have been spent in Ohio
than in any state but three-Calif-
ornia, New York and Pennsy-
lvania.
There should be no need for
further taxes, the report empha-
sized, pointing out that engineers
now surveying traffic volume es
innate an increase of 35 per cent,
in vehicle miles, but 1870; that
highway agencies will have con-
siderably more than double the
money, from gasoline tax, license
revenues, and other sources, in
the next 20 years, with which to
build roads, than they have had
in the last 20 years. Ohio highway
users will, in the next 20 years,
fork over $4,310,218,000 in gas
oline revenues, license rev e.
nues and federal acknowledgements
taxes, the special committee es-
timated.
Estimates did not take into con
sideration the highway funds
which may become available dur
ing the next two decades from the
Federal Aid Highway sources,
both of which have provided sub
stantial sums every year in the
past
The report was emphatic in a
declaration that not overlooking,
but hasty methods of building
have caused destruction of high
ways and consequent waste of tax
payers money.
I'm many instances" it was
stressed, 1T appears that the SUBJ
grades and the foundations under
the wearing surfaces have been
inadequate.
There should be no limit on
the life of road, properly built,
the committee holds.
Is there any reason" the report
asks, why the snbgrades and
foundations for the payements, re-

In Texas Staying Trial
BY the Assoeiesed Press

BRADY, Tex, Jan. 19.-The
State tackled today the task of
trying to break down a 15-year-
old girls story that she-not
ISandra Peterson-held the gun
that killed a Brady real estate
man.
Loretta Fac Mozingo, who was
supposed to be the States key
witness in Sandra's murder trial,
testified yesterday that she alone
held the pistol. She said two shots
were fired in q tussle with Sandra
after real estate dealer Lewis Pat
terson, "a, came to Sandra's aid.
This was a reversal of earlier
statements by Loretta Fac. but
County Attorney Evans J. Adkins
SAID it only made the States case
stronger than ever" and "Sandra
isn't going to be acquitted.
Loretta Fac did not testify she
pulled the trigger.
Mr.. Patterson, who had given
the girls a lift out of Brady, was
left dead in a roadside ditch on
August Is. The girls were arrested
late the same day in San Angelo,
and both signed statements saying
Sandra shot Mr.. Patterson.

Britain Reports Rebuff
|by Soviet on Austria
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 19. The For
eign Office said today Russia gave
an unsatisfactory and disappoint-
ing" reply to a direct approach
by the United States, Britain and
France to the Kremlin on the
Austrian treaty of independence.
The three Western Ambassadors
to Moscow conferred for SO min
utes last night with Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.
1t was the first direct Western
approach to the Kremlin since the
days of the Berlin blockade.
"Mr. Gromyko could give none
of the assurances asked by the
three Ambassadors the Foreign
Office spokesman said.
1--WE regard the reply as un-
satisfactory and Disappointing"
He said the Western diplomats
asked CnaC RUSSIAN obstacles to
completing an Austrian treaty be
removed.
Russia has maintained it could
not complete the treaty until it
settled with Austria the problem
of Austrian payment for Russian
aid after the war. Western diplo-
mats have put the sum involved
at about $1,000,00O.
The State Department expressed
official doubt today whether fur
ther progress can be made with
Russia toward completion of an
Austrian peace treaty at a con-
ference scheduled for London next
week.
Under the circumstances" the
department said, consideration
will be given to future appropriate
action that may be taken to re-
establish Austrian freedom and
independence"

Police Group Opens
4O-Hour Week Drive

The new Police Association ad-
ministration, headed by Pvt. Royce
L. Givens of the 18th Precinct,
has opened q campaign for q 40
hour, f1ve-day week for policemen,
following up the platform on
which Pvt. Givens was elected
Tuesday night.
Policemen now work a six-day
week that calls for 48 hours of
work, but which often means
many more, the association said.
Detectives, for instance, often work
almost around the clock with no
overtime. Police officers must
spend many hours in court, in
cluding attendance at trials that
come up on their days off.
The Police Association has re-
ceived the backing of the Board
of Trade, and Pvt. Givens said a
number of citizens groups are in
fereSted in the project. A ques-
tionnaire is being prepared to be
sent to other police departments

are and how many additional men
would be needed to put. the Wash
