EkE'S HIGHWAY
PROGRAM CUT
BEFORE START

PHILADELPHIA President Eli
senhower's much-touted proposed $50
billion roads program has already
been cut back more than half before
reaching Congress, it was revealed
here by the head of his advisory com
mittee on a national highway pro
gram.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay (Ret), chair
man of the committee and an old
friend and influential man with the
President, told the American Munich
pad Association here that two sub
stantlaI changes had been made in
the proposal first enunciated for Mr..
Eisenhower by Vice President Rich
ard Nixon July II.
Nixon garnered headlines for the
President that day with his speech at
Bolton Landing, n. Y, before the
governors conference when he pro-
posed in the Presidents name a $50
billion 10-year federal-state road
program.
CUT TO $24 BILLION
Clay, who left the Army to become
head of the Continental Can Corp,
told the mayors session here that the
$50 billion figure was desirable but |
not entirely practical" 1t has been
cut to an estimated $24 billion.
The financing would be changed
somewhat, too, according to Clay's
speech. A separate commission would
be set up to issue revenue bonds, Sc
cured by income from the federal ex-
else tax on gasoline and other petrole-
UNI products.
The Federal Government would
allocate $3.50 million year of the
tax money to the states for building
primary and secondary roads under
the new proposal, Clay said. The rest
of the money would support the 80
year 3 per cent revenue bonds. The
$3.50 million a year compares with
the $40 billion authorized by Con-
gross for fiscal years 1856 and 1857.
AS Nixon laid out the plan at Boil
ton Landing, speaking from the Presi-
dents notes because the latter was
a sister-in-law' funeral,
the financing would have been ac-

DETROIT. Aug. 27.-Young
rowdyism Is on the downgrade
In Detroit.
Authorities have not reached
positive conclusions 1t is elimi-
mated, but there is evidence In
the police record that boy gangs
aren't the critical problem they
were just a month ago.
The Police Youth Bureau esti-
mates this kind OF juvenile trou-

The cure-if IL Is q cure
has come probably In part from
the old spare the rod and spoil

The courts have adopted a
"get tough" policy. Teen-age
offenders have been packed of
to jail. Heretofore they got of
with a reprimand, as a rule. One
of the first examples was the
sentencing Of an 18-year-old
hoodlum to prison for one to
three years.
Adult groups also set out to
do something about 1t. offering

dalism was frequent. School
buildings were particular victims
of plumber and destruction. At
times there we're wanton street
attacks upon citizens.
A breakdown on the young
sters has now been in effect for
one month.
Inspector. Ralph Baker, head
of the Police Youth Bureau, said
the decrease in rowdyism stems
from the courts stern attitude
and an aroused citizenry.

forward and ask what can be

He differentiated between
"rowdyism" and actual juvenile
crime. In the latter, he said,
there has been no decrease.

Garcia Puts Tribe
Ahead With Years S
Eighth 0ne-Hitter
BY the Assoeioied Press

The third one-hit game in the
majors within a week and the
eighth Of the season moved the
Indians into the American
League lead yesterday by a mar
gin of 10 percentage points over
the White Sox.
Mike Garcia, who has been
having his troubles this season
got back on the right track by
hurting a 60 shutout against
the Athletics after the Indians
won the first game, 1877.
A single by Joe DeMaestri in
the fourth inning kept Garcia
from a no-hitter. 1t was Mikes
third win against four losses.
The rash of one-hitters in un-
precedented. Only last Wednes-
day Lew Burdette of the Braves
stopped the Dodgers with one
hit-a homer by Gil Hodges. The
next day Robin Roberts of the
Phils turned in his second one
hitter of the year. retiring 81
RedlegS in order after Bobby
Adams hit a leadoff homer.
Larsen Stops Yankees.
The White Sox fell behind
yesterday by dropping a 81 de-
cision to the Senators after TAX
ing the opener, 1915, while the
Yankees stayed in the thick of
the race despite a split at Bal
timore.
Don Larsen snapped a six
game Yankee winning streak
with a three-hit, 6-2 victory in
the second game after Allie
Reynolds beat Dave Koslo. 20.
allowing only three hits. Larsen
had a no-hitter for 72s innings
until Andy Carey singled with
two out in the eighth. Hank

pinch homer broke his shutout
In the ninth.
The Tigers beat the Red SoS
twice, 7-6 and 90, despite Teo
Williams eight hits in nine ap-
pearances, including two homers
in the second game. Matt Bats
won the opener with a pinch
single in the eighth. Ray Boone's

Goyomo to Work Between Races
Correlation and Hosty Road
Choices in Predkness Prep

could get back a major portion
of their fee by winning today,
but horsemen will be more
anxious to see how well the field
takes the race. Correlation was
supposed to have been handi-
capped in the Derby by a blind
splint in one of his forefeet.
but is reported okay again.
Hasty Road won the Derby
Trial at mile but was a length
and one-half behind Determine
in the mile and one-quarter
Derby.
Correlation drew high weight
of 122 pounds for today's Prep,
with Gigantic and Hasty Road
next with 118. All the rest were
assigned 116.
The Prep also may show
whether Ring King and Stat
fordshire, winners of their last
three races in Maryland. really
have a chance to win the Freak
ness or whether they had put
those strings together at the ex-
pense of inferior horses.
Today's race also could take
Nirgal Lad and Galdar right out
of the Preakness, for it cost the
owners an additional $1,000 to
get their horses to the starting
gate. It makes it rather expen-
sive just to see ones colors in a
race.
Meanwhile, C. v. Whitney has
decided not to send Fisherman
to Baltimore for the Preakness.
The colt will remain in New York
to prepare for the Belmont
