Ford Seen Focus
OF JAW Effort

DETROIT, April 80 (P.-Ford
Motor Co. appeared marked to-
day to be the first of the Ma
tons big three auto makers
pressed for a guaranteed annual
wage by the CLIO United Auto
Workers.
Evidence that union leaders
privately have singled out Ford
for a showdown fight on the
year-around pay issue mounted
when the JAW notified Gen
eral Motors Corp. yesterday it
will end their f1ve-year contract
June 7 instead of May 90. ,..
The move leaves the Ford pact
first to expire in the automotive
industry-June /. The Chrysler-
JAW agreement doesn't end
until August.
Also seen as meaningful was
the fact that Walter P. Reuther,
JAW and CLIO president, en-
tered the Ford negotiations on
annual wage talks yesterday.
Another important factor is
that union dues are deducted by
the company from the workers
pay the first week of the month.
If the union had no contract
with GIN the first week in June
it might not be able to collect
some $2.5 million in dues.
Experts have said the cost of
a strike on the guaranteed an
nual wage issue, it it comes, has
figured in union policy planning.
A Ford strike would involve
$4,000 workers. GIN has 325,-
600 hourly rated employees.
Yesterdays action extending
the GIN pact was routine under
terms Of the expiring contract,
which provides for 30-day
notification period by either side
before termination.

6. O. P. to Push Fiqht
For Own Highway Plan

SHIELD sticker licerse tu help A.
pauce these cross-country roads.
Senator Gore said the advan-
tages in the subcommittee plan
are that 1t increases the Federal
outlay on all types of roads, while
the Presidents plan concer-
trated the increase en- the inter-
state system. He also argued
that the substitute will give more
miles Of construction for each
Federal dollar because the
States viii bear a higher per-
centage OF the interstate pro-
gram, ard there will be no in
rerest charges for the bond is
sue.
Constitutional Question.
Republicans said the weakness
in the Gore substitute from a
financing standpoint is that a
Senate committee cannot under
the Constitution originate the
increased gasoline tax suggested
as a means Of meeting the cost.
For that reason, the gas tax
recommendation Of the subcom-
mittee is merely an appeal to
the House, where taxes must
originate.
To keep trucks from getting
any bigger the bill provides that
to get Federal aid a State must
adhere to the weight and dimen-
sion limits it has in effect on
May /. or the standards recon-
mended by the Bureau of Public
Roads.
The subcommittee also re-
quested the Secretary of Com
merce to make new tests looking
to a review of truck dimension
standards.
The Secretary also was re-
queSted to encourage the States
to consider entering into multi
pie compacts for the building Of
toll highways that would extend
through an entire region, such
as from Boston to Miami. The
Federal aid money in this bill is
all for free highways, but the
subcommittee wanted to encour-
age groups of States to plan self
liquidating toll expressways.
Other Provisions.
The subcommittee took one
provision from the bill of Sena-
tor Case, authorizing the Federal
Government to acquire rights
of-way for the interstate sys-
tenn when asked to do so by
States. The Federal Government
would get back Is per cent of the
cost of the land.
The subcommittee substitute
eliminates the proposal in the
administration bill to reimburse
States for toll roads already built
which would At into the inter-
State system.
The next test between the
Gore and administration pro-
grams will come in the full Pub
lie Works Committee Thursday.
Senator Gore expressed hope the
bill will be reported out and
taken up in the Senate by the
middle of May.

OtIldJe fLCpuLllCdIlS uldIc plans
today to continue their fight
for the Eisenhower bond-issue
method of financing an en-
larged highway program, beaten
in its first test in a Senate Public
Works subcommittee Yesterday.
BY u vote of 6 to 8, the SUBJ
committee approved. instead. an
amended version Of the bill of
Senator Gore, Democrat. of Ten
nessee, TO greatly expand the
present direct appropriations for
Federal aid to highways over the
next five years, with a recon-
mendation that the House in
crease the Federal gas tax from
2 to 3 cents gallon to help
finance It.
The subcommittee also took
the first step toward Federal
control of the size and weight
of interstate trucks by making
adherence to specified standards
a condition to receiving Federal
highway money.
3 Republicans Oppose
The roll call was not an
nounced But it is understood
the three negative votes were
Republicans. and that a motion,
will be renewed both in the
full Public Works Committee
next week and on the Senate
floor later to substitute the
Eisenhower approach.
The administration had recon-
mended that SIS billion be spent
in 10 years on the interstate
system, in addition to a con-
tinuation of about $500 million
a year under the present Federal
aid system for other work on
primary, secondary and urban
roads.
Under the administration plan,
about 95 per cent of the inter-
state program would have been
financed by the Federal Gov
eminent. but on a long-term
bond issue.
The Gore bill approved yester-
day would increase to $1.1 billion
a year the Federal aid for pri-
mary, secondary and urban
roads and a substantial increase
in the Federal allotment for the
interstate system from SITS
million under existing law to 81
billion starting next year.
Five Year Program
While the Eisenhower program
was for ten years, the Gore bill
is for five years. The annual
Federal outlay for the inter-
state system would go up grad
ually to 50 billion annually in
the 4th and 5th years.
The Gore bill also would
change the matching ratio on
the Interstate system from 60
40 under present law to rs per
cent Federal and Is per cent
from the States.
For the five years this would
mean the outlay on an inter-
state system would be ST. bill
lion of Federal money and $2.5
billion of state money. or total
of SOB billion on state
construction.
If Congress extended this pro-
gram for a second five-year pc
Rod, the outlay on the interstate
system would be about sos bill
lion. close to the 10-year Eisen-
hover proposal.
$500 Million From Tax
The 5000 million to be raised
annually from a one cent in
crease in the Federal gas tax
would cover only a part of the
increase in Federal spending for
highways.
Senator Case. Republican, Of
South Dakota, a subcommittee
said the bill has many
excellent features but is "a little
lame on the financing side"
He hopes the Senate will COIL
slider his plan to have cars and
trucks using the interstate high
way system purchase wind
