Roads Program Cut
To $24 Billion Over
80 Years, Clay Says
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30
Gen. Lucius D. Clay said today
a Federal program for a national
highways system has been cut
from a proposed $50 billion to an
estimated $24 billion, which
would be financed by revenue
bonds over . 30-year period.
Gen. Clay, chairman of the
Presidents Advisory Committee
on a National Highway Program,
told the American Municipal
Association that two substantial
changes from the original pro-
posal to the Conference of Gov
ernors at Bottoms Landing, N. Y,
last July had been made.
"Pay-As-You-U Use Basis"
The first was the cut in the
cost of the program. Gen. Clay
said the $50 billion figure "de-
sirable but not entirely prac-
tical."
The second was in the method
of f1nancing-from "a pay-as-
you-go basis to a pay-as-you-use
basis"
The new thinking, Gen. Clay
said, is that a separate commits
sion would be set up to issue
revenue bonds under it's own
name. These would be secured
by revenues from the Federal
tax, on gasoline and other
petroleum products.
u. s. to Allocate Half Billion.
Gen. Clay said this tax brings
in a billion dollars a year and
the Federal Government under
the proposed program would al
locate $3.50 million a year to the
States for construction of pri-
mary and secondary roads. He
said the remainder of the funds,
which he anticipates will in
crease over the years because of
heavier gas and petroleum con-
sumption, would support the
revenue bond issue over a 30-year
period. figured on a 3 per cent
interest rate.
Immediately after Gen. Clay
spoke, a revised statement of
association policy on the Pres
ident's proposed 10-year program
was brought UP for floor discus
sion. The new statement sup
ported Gen. Clay's outline. It
will be acted upon by delegates
tomorrow.

Staff Boost Of $50
Seen Needed for 3O-1
1eacher-PupiI Ratio
By james 6. Deone

An additional $50 teachers
would be needed to establish a
30-to-1 pupil teacher ratio in
the Districts elementary schools,
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
has informed the Board of Edu-
cation. anT
Cost of this addition to the
teacher force would be about
$1,510,000, DR.. Corning esti-
mated.
The School superintendent
yesterday gave these figures to
the School Board as part of q
report advocating a cutback to
the 30-to-1 standard from the
present 36-to-1.
He said reports on the junior
and senior high schools aren't
ready yet but will be submitted
later.
263 More ClassrOoms.
Besides the extra teachers, the
smaller elementary class-size
standard would require about
263 additional classrooms, DR..
Corning informed the board. He
gave no cost estimate for this
construction, but pointed out
that some of the extra space is
already available.
Some of the construction
would be additions and some
brand-new buildings, he added.
The superintendent rejected a
suggestion that a 30-pupil max
imum class size be established
in place Of the pupil-teacher
ratio type of standard. He said
the maximum would require mix
ing grades in individual classes
and cause too frequent reorgan-
ization.
Lists Reasons. s
DR.. Corning said smaller classes
would:
1. Give greater opportunity for
helping gifted and slow-learn-
ing pupils.
2. Improve general classroom
instruction.
8. Be in accord with recon-
mendations Of educational au-
thorities.
4. Help cope with emotional
and health problems.
S. Aid in dealing with social
and welfare problems with which
teachers must concern them
selves increasingly.
8. Help keep teachers from
leaving because OF the burden
of oversize classes.

Darkroom Tasks Easier
With Mixed Formulas
By Alexander J. Wedderburn

tone values are not always
suited to all prints.
After development both neg
atives and prints should pass
through a shortstop solution to
kill the action of the developer
before going into the fixing
bath. Both hardening and
mountaineering stop baths may
be obtained in package form.
The picture image must be
permanently fixed and pre-
pared fixing formulas are
packaged for your instant use,
after mixing with water, &C
cording to directions. And for
those photographers who have
only small amounts of films or
prints to process at one time
there are so-called tri-packs
that contain enough developer,
stop bath, and fixer to process
two rolls of film or SO 2hx3h
inch prints or their equivalent.
Extra-strong solutions called
"replenishers" should be added
to your list. They are handy
to boost" a weakening de-
veloper at times when it isn't
convenient to prepare another
full tank or tray of the solu-
ton.
Other Handy Reody-Mixes
In addition you can purchase
these ready mikes:
Intensiflers-Used to build
up the image on thin negatives
where details are weak in the
shadow areas.
Reducers-Used to restore
"heavy" negatives to q more
printable condition. Helps
when negatives are overexposed
or overdeveloped.
Toners-These are helpful
when a touch of color will add
to the appearance of a picture.
Packaged formulas will produce
a wide variety of tones for
prints in brown, sepia,, gold,
and blue. The latter toner is
recommended for scenes where
a cold tone is appropriate such
as snowscapes, marine pictures.
and the like. The browns,
sepias, and Colds, are best
suited for scenes that will
respond pictorially to warm
tones.
Other preparations that will
be needed on occasion are:
Anti-fog tablets for addition to
developers when excessive fog
results from over-age paper or
film, or wann-weather pro-
cessing; anti-foam liquid to
inhibit air bells, spots, streaks,
etc. caused by foam in the
processing solutions; print
f1attening solution to prevent
curling; and a wetting agent
such as "photo-f1o to prevent
droplets from forming on
films.

Camera Angles

We have stressed in for
going articles that taking pic
lures with a camera is only
half the fun of photography.
The other half of the fun
comes with processing the
films and making the prints.
Simplification of darkroom
chemistry has made it possible
for any one to follow through
from snapshot to print.
The modern amateur, in
stead of laboriously weighing
out or measuring unfamiliar
chemicals, need only open q
packet or container Of a
scientifically com poun d e d
formula, add water as directed,
and proceed at once to develop
and fix his own negatives and
prints.
The desirability of this me-
thod is obvious. Even the
variation of a fraction Of an
ounce in preparing a formula
can spoil sensitive films or
papers. And persons unfami-
lair with the handling and
mixing of chemicals can easily
make these small but vital mis-
takes. Prepared formulas also
contain inflnitesimal amounts
of special ingredients that are
not normally stocked by deal
ers. And you will be saved
much time, trouble, and wasted
material.
Formulas for Films and Prints
There is quite a long list Of
packaged or bottled formulas
that anticipate almost all of
the problems of the amateur
in a days work. First there are
the standard packaged form
ulas for developing, shortstop-
ping, and fixing Of both films
and prints.
A wide variety of developers
are available for developing
films both for normal, high
contrast, and fine grain hand
ling of negative problems. 1t
may be well to have on hand,
in addition to a good supply
of the developer recommended
for the film you are accus-
toned to using, at least one
package of those that are used
only occasionally. Just about
any of the standard formulas
will be suitable for any film
but it is best to use that rec
commended for the specific
film in your camera.
Paper developers also come
in several styles, some for
warm tone prints, others that
produce cold tones, and still
others for neutral tones. Again.
it may be desirable to have
several types on hand because
negatives vary and certain
