.1O-Year Road
Needs Here Put
AT SPA Million
Bureau Places Cost
Of National Program
At $101 Billion
By FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS

The Bureau of Public Roads
reported today that the District
will have to spend 1924 million
in the next 10 years to meet its
street and highway needs.
The bureau put Virginia's total
needs for the 10 years at SITS
billion.
The Maryland figure was given
as $1.52 billion.
Based on Area Reports
The bureaus figures were
based on reports from the high
way departments of the District
and the States.
Reporting to Congress, the
Public Roads Bureau put the To-
year cost of construction to
modernize the Nations highways
and streets at SOL billion. It
said an additional $25 billion
would be required for mainte-
nance and administration.
The SOL billion figure was the
same as given last January by
the Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on a National Highway
Program, which was headed by
Con TnoiI,c n H1av
Quarter-cent a Mile
The bureau said the highway
program could be financed by
adding a quarter of a cent to
the motorists cost of driving a
mile. The report said:
THE amount of funds required
bring the road systems to ade-
quacy in a reasonable time and
to sustain them in a state of
adequacy is large. Should the
cost be distributed among all
vehicles over the life of the
roads, the additional cost per
mile of travel would be very
small, amounting to about one
quarter of a cent per vehicle
mile.
About three fourths of a cent
per vehicle mile is now being
collected in the form of road
user taxes. These amounts may
be compared to the cost of own
ing and operating a vehicle.
which for passenger cars is vari-
ously estimated at from 8 to 10
cents a mile. The cost of the
highway itself is but a small
part of the total cost of motor
vehicle transportation"
20-year Needs Estimated
Projecting the picture beyond
the l0-year period, the Public
Roads Bureau said the cost of
the road systems in the 20 years
of 1965-84 would amount to
$114.4 billion. This figure, too,
was based on estimates supplied
by the States.
The bureau broke down its
SOL billion figure - actually
$l00.8 billion-for the 1864
period this way: Interstate
highway system. 1892 billion;
Federal aid primary highway
system, $29.9 billion; Federal aid
secondary. SIS billion; other
State roads, $5.5 billion: local
roads and streets. $27.7 billion.
The Clay committee put the
cost of the 37,700-mile interstate
system at $27 billion, and said
the Federal Government should
put up almost all-$25 billion.
Bills Before Senate
The administration bill now
before the Senate Public Works
Committee provides for The
Federal Government putting UP
the $25 billion sum over the To-
year period. Federal aids funds

Is Optimistic
On Bipartisan
Conference
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

senate DellOCI dLlC LedueL
Johnson said today prospects are
bright for working out a posi-
tive program" to deal with world
tensions at the bipartisan con-
ferences President Eisenhower
will hold with congressional
leaders Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Senator johnson apparently
was referring to the possibility
of bipartisan policy on Big -Four
meeting and the Far East crisis.
Without any direct mention of
the threat of hostilities over
Quemoy and Matsu Islands, he
told reporters:
1--WE don't want a war party to
emerge in the United States any
more than we want a party of
appeaSement, and the President
apparently does not want war
party to emerge either"
Is More Optimistic
The Democratic leader began
by saying he is more optimistic"
than ever over the probable re-
suits of the White House meet
ings because Senator George,
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, and the Presi-
dent seem Ito be close to agree
ment."
This was an obvious reference
to talk of an early Big -Four
meeting to discuss world ten
sions in general.
When the Senate met at noon
Senator johnson repeated on the
floor the optimistic predictions
he had given reporters.
Senator Mansfield, Democrat,
of Montana, interrupted to ask
him if he had any information
on published reports that the
Chinese Reds might launch an
invasion of Quemoy or Matsu be-
tween now and April Is.
Senator johnson said he had
no information except what he
had read in the press.
All-Out-Attack Idea Hit
While talking to the reporters,
Senator johnson took a slap at
some Republicans leaders in Con-
gress who have been advocating
an about attack on Red China
if Quemoy and Matsu are in
vaded.
Without mentioning any
names, Senator johnson said:
Il am proud of the fact that
no Democrat has joined in de-
mands that we drop bombs or
go to war on the spur of the
moment"
On Sunday television shows
Senate Republicans Knowland
and Bridges both called for Wig
orous United States action to
defend Quemoy and Matsu.
Senator Bridges said the United
States should use its most mod
ern weapons against Red China
if the islands are attacked.
It is understood that Senator
Johnson conferred with many of
his Democratic colleagues over
the week end and that his state
ments today reflected their gen.
eral viewpoint.
Would Avoid Pressure
The Democratic leader of the
Senate indicated he was glad
the White House is planning
bipartisan consultations this
week. He emphasized, however,
that Democrats feel the CO.
operation should be advice and

Eager to Discuss German
And Arms Problems

LONDON, Mar. % (P).-For-
eign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden
disclosed today Britain, the
United States and France have
already begun discussing ar
rangements for a meeting with
Russia.
Sir Anthony told the House
of Commons this country is
ready and eager to discuss the
future of Germany and Austria,
disarmament problems and a
European security system with
the RusSians-noW that the
French parliament has approved
the accords to free and rearm
West Germany.
Sir Anthony, was was answer
ing a Laborite questioner in the
House of Commons, said the
British already are consulting
their allies las to the methods
by which we can go ahead
toward arranging Big Four talks
Other Meetings Proposed
Britain. he said proposed the
allies should follow a procedure
of consultation that will include
meetings of officials, then per-
hapS meetings of foreign min
isters and, IF all goes well meet
ings probably at other levels
also"
He did not elaborate on his
reference to meetings "at other
levels" The implication was
that one would be at the sum-
nit"
1t has long been the assump-
ton here. although it has never
been officially stated that if and
when Sir Anthony takes over the
nations leadership from Prime
Minister Churchill he will quickly
set out to meet President Eisen-
hover. Sir Anthony has long
been the heir apparent to the
leadership of the Conservative
government.
Reminds of Pledge
He reminded Parliament to-
day of pledge he gave it on the
subject of a Big Four conference
only IA days ago.
He said then. once the London
and Paris treaties freeing and re-
arming the West Germans have
been ratified. Britain will want to
meet with the Soviets on the
main problems blocking a Euro
pean settlement between East
and West.
German and Austrian treaty
settlements, an effectively-con-
trolled world disarmament pro-
gram and a continental security
system-presumably in the form
of mutual East West non-aggres-
sion pledges-were the subjects
he listed for discussion.

PARIS, Mar. 28.-New hope of
four-power conference is the
major aftermath here of French
ratification of the Paris treaties
on rearming Germany.
Already a chorus of voices is
rising to urge that the leaders

of the great powers should sit
down together once more in an
effort to compose their differ
ences. Many predict the talks
will begin by June. Others see
September as a likelier month.
In the French press today top
play is going to the statement
by Soviet Premier Bulganin,
which is interpreted as mark
ing a complete turnabout in the
Russian attitude regarding the
feasibility of a conference after
ratification of the Paris treaties.
The fact that the Russian Pre-
mier did not specifically exclude
Germany from the problems that
could be discussed is being
taken as a positive indication
that new talks on German re-
unification are in prospect.

EpiscopaIians
Indorse Ideal
0flntegration

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May
81 R.-The principle of racial
Indignation in church life has
been Endorsed by the annual con-
vention of the Episcopal Diocese
of Virginia.
The delegates climaxed a
spirited debate here yesterday
by adopting this resolution:
1T Is the principle of the
Christian ethic for the people of
this diocese that they make
every effort in Christian love to
eliminate all barriers preventing
the free fellowship in the
church's life of people of diff
ferent races"
Whereas the approved reso-
luton read "the principle of
the Christian ethic," an earlier
resolution. later revised, read
1.-THE will of God.
During the debate, the Rev.
Rufus j. Womble of Richmond
told delegates, THE truth is, we
are not willing to have whites
and Negroes together in our
church on Sunday morning. :,
All these recommendations dodge
the ISSUE"
The solution to the segrega-
ton problem for the churches,
he added. was small meetings
. . where we can get to know
our brothers in Christ on a
basis of real honesty, not high
sounding words"
The question was raised
whether the resolution meant
that Episcopal churches must"
admit Negroes. Archibald G.
Robertson Of Richmond replied
that every minister has the
right, duty and obligation to
admit any one who seeks adj
mission. regardless Of distinc-
ton"
The delegates, totaling some
$50 laymen and ministers, ap-
proved a report of the diocese's
inter-racial commission which
called 1t "the responsibility and
opportunity of each local church
to create the attitude essential
to carrying out" the Supreme
Court decision denouncing seq
regation as unconstitutional in
the public schools.
1--WE must champion the rights
of the minority and defend the
dignity Of all men," the report
added.

VETERANS
AND DRAFTEES
BY MAI. THOMAS M. NAL

It's not always easy for young
men getting out of uniform to
decide their next move. Many of
them want to go to college under
the Korean CT Bill, but they're
not sure what kind of an educa-
tional program they ought to
pursue.
If you face this dilemma. the
Veterans Administration offers
help through its free vocational
counseling offices. They're To-
Gated on most campuses around
the country.
To take advantage of the
counseling, all you have to do is
ask for it when you apply for
your CT education. It may in
clude personal counseling by an
advisor or a series of tests or
both. You can decide on the type
you want after the VA calls you
in to discuss the counseling.
Once you finish the COUNSEL
ing there's nothing to force you
to follow the advice given. It's
merely a scientific way to help
you make up your own mind
about what's best for you on the
basis of what the tests and in
terviews uncover.
Just how can tests help you
decide what kind of a college
program you should take?
The VA tests are designed to
show whether you have mechan-
ical aptitude. writing or journal
istic potential, artistic leanings
and all sorts of other individual
potentialities. In other words,
they're set up to give you an
idea of the fields in which you
have potential and what fields
of endeavor you should steer
clear of.
The tests can also help you If
you have a preconceived opinion
of your potential. but have
nothing but suspicion to back up
your opinion.
Suppose. for example, you be-
lieve you would be good in law.
You were on the debating team
in high school. You have long
been able to express yourself
well on your feet. You were a
clerk in the legal section of the
Army and liked the work. Your
father is a lawyer. The VA test
will show whether you have a
potential in this field. Suppose
the tests show that you have lit
tie aptitude for the study Of law.
When the test results clash with
your opinion you ought to take
a second look at whether the
law is your meat. There's no use
kidding yourself.
The personal counseling sup
plements the test information by
letting you know about labor
conditions in various fields,
about industrial and business
organizations and about various
types of occupations in which
the demand is heavy.
It's also designed to give the
counselor a chance to know you
and your personality. your edu-
cational records, your personal
interests and your prior work
experience.
Once the counselor starts his
interviews with you, you should
not try to hide or distort any in
formation about yourself. The
counselor, to be most effective.
must have your complete conf
dence.
What you tell the counselor is
kept in confidence and not di-
vulged outside the office, with
out your permission. This kind
of an arrangement should make
it much easier for you to be
completely frank.
