The Budget

The question Of how much
ammunition is to be ready for
use on what front actually Is
answered In the annual budget.
President Eisenhower said last
week he was still working out
the problems Of defense spend-
ing, for the coming fiscal year.
The President told Senator
Saltonstal, chairman Of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. that possibilities Of
fundamental changes Of an
organizational or other nature"
were being studied. He would
do more, in other words, than
merely look for possible econo-
my cuts. In the meantime, he
suggested. Congress should not
make premature commitments
on defense spending.
President Eisenhower said
later at his news conference
that he himself would decide
on the necessary combat
strength Of the Nation. Sec
retary Of Defense Wilson would
only make recommendations.
The indications that the ad-
ministration was sweating over
the Nations defense revived re-
ports that presidential advisers
were finding military spending
actually to be too low. A bal
anced budget for the coming
ascaI year looked more and
more remoto.

and that they pose an sim

improvement Of parallel free
roads. which must carry the
bulk of the traffic"
"Since toll roads cannot ac-
commodate Short-haul traf-
f1c." Mr.. Lawrence says. "al-
ternate free roads must be
maintained, thus involving.
duplication Of investment"
The truckers association,
Mr.. Lawrence said, ''has been
consistently opposed in prin-
ciple to toll roads and Fed
orally operated toll roads"
The Federal Government
has never been warm to the
tolls idea. Since the Federal
Aid Highway Act Of 1916. the
Government has prohibited
the spending Of aid funds on
toll projects. The Federal
position was further strength
ened by 1941 Bureau of Pub
lie Roads study of a plan to
build six Nationwide super
highways. The study con-
cluded that with the possible
exception of certain special
projects, such as bridges and
tunnels, the use of tolls was
wholly impractical as a meth
cd of paying for general high
way construction.
And that was in the days
when costs for building super
highways ran far less than
the present figures of a mil
lion dollars a mile.
The modern toll highway Is
a straight and wide concrete
ribbon uncluttered by bill
boards and roadside enter
prises. This, of course, can be
appreciated by any autoist.
But while it reduces certain
types of accidents, it causes
many Of the most violent and
fatal miShaps.

That's why the safety people
caution against the building
of thousands of miles of these
roads without first educating
the roads users in new driv-
ing techniques.
Much Of the present inter-
est in toll financing is no
doubt the result of the ap-
parent reluctance Of the Fed
eral Government to quit the
gasoline tax field. Many
States feel that unless they
can get their hands on this
Federal revenue, tolls are the
only answer.

Gov. James r. Byrnes Of
South Carolina says that if
this 2-cent tax is removed, his
State could raise its own gaso.
line tax rate to provide the
extra funds needed for any
road building the Federal
Government now provides.
Gov. Byrnes adds that South
Carolina gets less than so per
cent back out Of the sos
million it pays annually in
Federal gasoline taxes.
The opposition to giving the
States all gasoline tax revenue
is not very vocal. but its main
argument is that the States
cannot be trusted to use their
tax money in a way that
will result In adequate roads.
Truckers say that "the mis-
use of highway funds in many
States by dispersion and diver
sion has made 1t increasingly
difficult to meet the growing
needs with current revenues.
In many instances. the build
ing of badly needed roads is
dependent upon an overhaul
ing of the highway finance
structure and the imposition
of higher taxes"
Vireinion's Understotemen
Higher taxes may be the
only way to avoid what Vir-
ginia Highway Commissioner
James A. Anderson recently
understated as the problem"
of the toll road. Louisiana
recognized that a few years
ago and levied a stiff gas tax.
Other proposals would set
aside all registration fees
and excise taxes on vehicles.
tires. tubes and parts for
roadbuilding. -
The problem of building
and financing highways that
will remain adequate over the
years continues to be one Of
major concern to the. Federal
Government, the States, high
way users and even vehicle
manufacturers. Just recently,
General Motors held a $780,
900 contest in search of ideas
that might solve the problem.
Meanwhile, the only indica-
ton that pressure for toll
financing may be easing some
what came last week from the
Virginia Highway Commission.
which killed plans for three
toll projects in that State. in
cluding a 5000 million road
from south of Washington to
the North Carolina line.
It's a sure thing that the
States have no desire to build
toll roads. They regard it
rather as only a last resort
which they'll be forced into
unless some less offensive
method of highway financing
can be deutschland soon.

Army Desertion Rate
Termed Highest at
Training Centers

Fort Belvoir and Camp Lee in
Virginia are training centers and
the rate of desertion and absent
without leave is considerably
higher for such installations
than for posts where veteran
troops are stationed, an Army
spokesman said yesterday.
He made the explanation when
asked about story in The
Louisville Times which declared
the Army "is struggling with a
sizable AWOL and desertion
problem right in the shadow of
the Pentagon."
AS an example of the situa-
ton, the spokesman cited Fort
Myer, where the Sd Infantry
Regiment is stationed. Such
cases there are virtually nom
existent. he said.
1,7OO Tried at BelvOir.
The Sd Regiment, which
among other things serves as
honor guard for arriving and de-
parting dignitaries. is composed
of men of long military expert
ence, including a high percent
age of veterans of the Korean
War and World War II.
The Times said about 1.700
AWOLs and deserters were
brought to trial last year at Fort
Belvoir. Less than two weeks ago,
the stockade there contained ISL
AWOLs and 13 deserters who
had been picked up, it said.
| At Camp Lee. the problem was
twice as bad last year as in 1851,
The Times said.
Army Admits Headache.
Men who are absent less than
80 days are classified AWOL
while those who remain away
longer are placed in the deserter
category. The Army, in an effort
to crack down on men deliber-
ately going AWOL to escape
overseas shipment, has issued an
order which will send most SOL
diers convicted of being absent
to the Korean war zone "by the
first available surface transpor-
tation."
The Army contends the de-
serter problem is not alarming
but admits the number of men
who remain absent for short pc
riods before scheduled departure
overseas has caused a major
headache. .

Protestant Leader
Asks Probe Of Texts
In ParochiaI Schools

A Protestant church leader to-
day called on the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
and the Senate subcommittee on
Internal Security to investigate
what he termed "un-American
doctrines currently being taught
in Roman Catholic parochial
schools"
Dr.. Glenn L. Archer, executive
director Of Protestants and Other
American United for Separation
of Church and State, charged
that passages in a Roman Cath
olic high school textbook, Living
Our Faith" contained typical
attacks on the principle of sep
aration of church and state and
on the religious beliefs of non-
Catholic Americans"
DR.. Archer further declared, in
a statement, that "illicit liaisons
between the Roman Catholic
parochial schools and the public
school system are becoming an
all too common pattern spreading
through all the States.
1.-THE violations Of Constitu-
tional principle take many
FORMS" he said. TN some places,
for instance, public school texts
'doctored' to conform to Roman
Catholic theology are furnished
free to parochial school pupils
by the State.
when the taxpayers dollar is
being used to propagate sectarian
belief which he may or may not
share, then it becomes his buSi-
ness to inquire into the specific
teachings which are inculcated
in parochial school pupils at his
expense.

quiry which simply cries out for
