Reed Faces Growing Revolt
On Social Security Proposals

weapons over the Rules Commit
tee If 1t sits too long on his tax
bill. One of these weapons is to
refuse to act on any social Sc

the administration until the

this latest step for a subcom-
mittee study is principally be-

Mr.. Reed, when appointing the
subcommittee last week, re-
marked that the length. Of the

action on such legislation before
the intended adjournment Of
Congress in July.
Democrats. most of whom pre-
ferred not to be quoted irnmedi-
ately on counter-attacks they
have in mind, indicated that
potent ammunition will soon be
fired in the House. And these
Democrats predict some Repub-
lican support.
Almost 200 bills to amend pro-
visions of the social security
statutes have been introduced IN
the House since January 3. many

to have considerable bipartisan

New Austria Coalition
Seen as Socialists
Score in Elections
BY The Assoeie.ed Pres.

VIENNA, Austria. Feb. 3d.
Another coalition government of
conservatives and moderate left
lists appeared in prospect for oc-
cupied Austria today, following
parliamentary elections in which
the Socialists scored marked
gains.
The Communists, neo- Nazis,
Catholic conservatives and all
other factions in the country
astride the Iron Curtain lost
ground in the voting, held in
the nations American, British,
French and Russian occupation

The Socialists polled the
largest number of votes and
picked up six new seats for a
total OF 73 in the 165-seat lower
chamber, but the country's COM

New Cabinet May Be Asked.
Because of this, President
Theodor Koerner, a Socialist,
was expected to ask Mr.. Figl to
form a new cabinet.
The Catholic leader, who has
headed the country's governing
Socialist Conservative coalition
since it was formed in December,
1945, appeared certain to ask the
Socialists again to participate in
the cabinet.
Socialist Interior Minister Os-
kar Helmer said his faction
would Continue to cooperate
with the Peoples Party to spare

that his party was still backed

Secretary Of Labor Durkin and

conferences at the Labor De-

Mr.. Durkin said he was hope

at least partially on changes that
should be made in the Taft

Why Grow OLd9

is a fine idea to stretch your neck
regularly. not with a rope, but
with exercise. AS men and wom-
en- grow older it is increasingly
essential to stay aware of good
posture in order to avoid as
much settling as possible.
The muscles under the chin
often become taut and should
be kept elastic with daily exer-
cises. These neck exercises are
splendid in cosmetic results and
are also helpful in combating
fatigue and tenseness. It seems
that tension and fatigue find the
back of the neck a convenient
camping ground.
Exercises will give you a feel
ing of lightness and relief in this
area.
Try this one: Stand erect.
Drop the head backward as far
as comfortable. Look at the cell
ing. Lift the head to normal
position and then drop it for
ward, touching the chest with
the chin. Continue lowering
backward and lifting and drop
ping forward. This should be a
continuous slow movement. Hold
the position for a few moments
when the head is far back so that
you will feel the pull under the
chin.

Commerce Department dropped in on the
way back to Washington from a vacation
Il spent small fortune in tolls on this
trip" he grumbled. and I think more than
ever that the toll road is a retreat from
modern transportation. Did you know that
the Commerce Department and the Amer
lean Automobile Association are on record
against toll roads?"
I admitted hadn't known and asked why
ITS unfair to force the user to pay the
entire bill while others, who may benefit
indirectly but greatly. pay nothing unless
they drive. Once toll goes on, it stays on
indefinitely as the State uses the funds for
building other projects. It's throwback to
the road concepts of 200 years ago. Tolls
failed then. they'll fail again"
Toll roads-three times in one day the
subject pushed into my face You're rather

myself. Get some facts and report them"
The forward surge of the toll road-the
Superhighway or parkway on which, if you
pay toll now and then, you can ride for
miles without worrying about crossings or
traffic lights-is one of the great traffic
transportation stories of our era.
In 1949 there were only 800 miles of toll
roads in our land
Today there are more than 1000 miles
in operation and another 1000 miles are in
the blueprint or construction stage.
A few years back. only handful of States
had passed laws authorizing the building of
toll turnpkes, parkways, etc.
Today, more than half the 48 States either
have or are considering toll road legislation.
In Wall Street, the financing of new toll
roads is top news. Issues like the New York
Thruway and New Jersey Turnpike are be-
coming commonplace.
And in transportation circles in and out
of Washington, the toll road is an increas-
ingIy hot argument as the States keep push
ing the roads in the face of powerful public
and private opposition.
The attraction of the toll road is unmis-
taxable. It's one way to get Superhighways
built and paid for It's one way to modernize
our roads without hitting all taxpayers or
appealing to the Federal Government
1t may have it's dangers. but since it's a
solution, it seems obvious that the toll road
network will continue to expand.
