BY MARY L. VAUGHAN

A bill to provide equal pay
for equal work was introduced
in the House yesterday by
Representative Edith Green,
Democrat, of Oregon who, at
an earlier press conference
said lower rates of pay for
women in comparable work and
with comparable skills under
mine pay standards of men.
In pointing out the fact that
equal pay laws exist in but 16
States and Alaska, Mrs. Green
said the problem is to be solved
only through national legisla-
ton.
Calling attention to the 1852
Democratic and Republican
Party platforms favoring equal
pay legislation, the legislator
said she intends to seek sup
port for the bill on a biparti-
san basis and to ask for hear
ings before Congress Sdjourns.
Action Overdue
II believe that action by
Congress on this matter of ele-
mentary justice is long over
due" she said. "and that my
bill should have the support of
all men and women of good
will"
Mrs. Green gave examples
OF inequities in pay for men
and women in several profess
sions and citing particularly
electrical plant workers where
OTTER the highest skilled wom-
an workers wage scale is lower
than the most unskilled mans
wage rate.
Women currently employed
IN this country equal one
third of the civilian labor
force. she stressed.
In the large majority of
cases, they either support
themselves or they are in
dispensible supports to q fam
lily income. They are workers
in their own right and are
entitled to the same privileges
and rights as male workers.
I think it is high time that in
all instances women workers
are treated with full and equal
employment rights" she said.

it's only the selfish-or stupid

You say that Joe is COM

that the children use their

and sleep in; that the living
room is shabby and you can't
afford new slip covers; that
you're tired and feel under par

a few Of the plants you poured
out yesterday.
I don't doubt any Of it, but
do you ever wonder, even for
a moment, if you are the cause
and not the victim of an un-
kind fate?
How did you greet Joe when
he came home from the Office
last night? I'll bet before his
hat was off you'd launched into
the story of your dull, disap-

you asked, your voice taking

Chairman Bridges of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Committee
made 1t clear yesterday that the
administration regards it's high
way bill as one of top priority
on the legislative program and is
opposed to the Gore substitute.

tee yesterday Senator Martin,

Senator Bush, Republican, of
Connecticut. was defeated 10 to

feature of the Eisenhower bill
to reimburse States for highways

come links in the new interstate
system.
Evening star., 1955-05-11
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

Democrats were confident to-
day the Senate Public Works
Committee will order favorable
report tomorrow on their substi-
tute of the Eisenhower highway
program. But Republicans will
carry the fight to the floor of the
Senate next week.
The committee finished voting
on amendments to the substitute
yesterday afternoon. and again
turned down the major features
of the Eisenhower plan. A final
vote to report the substitute was
delayed until tomorrow to allow
time for reprinting the bill as
amended.
The substitute, sponsored by
Senator Gore, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, would expand the exist
ing Federal aid program for all
classes of roads to an outlay OF
about S17.8 billion over a five
year period. Of this total the
Federal share would be $l2.5
billion, leaving the States to put
up $5.3 billion.
The Eisenhower plan called
for an outlay of $38 billion in
10 years, of which the Federal
share would have been $3l billion
and the States 81 billion.
If the Gore bill were continued
for 10 years as in the Eisenhower
plan, there would be little differ
ence in total outlay.
The essential difference in the
two plans is that the President
proposed to finance the bulk OF
the Federal share by having a
corporation sell $2l billion of
bonds, whereas all of the added
cost in the Gore bill would come
from appropriations. Another
difference is that the Presidents
plan concentrated the new
money on the interstate high
way system, while the Gore bill
increases annual allotments on
all types of Federal aid roads.
The big floor fight is expected
to center around financing the
program. Senator Gore has in
dicated the committee will be
asked to recommend in its report
a one-cent a gallon increase in
the two-cent Federal motor fuel
tax to help meet the added high
way funds.
Case Plan Rejected
But the committee yesterday
turned down, 8 to 4, a move by
Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, to prevent the
Bureau of Public Roads from
distributing the increased high
ways funds until the Treasury
Department certif1es that collec-
tions from the Federal motor
fuel taxes have increased by 5000
million a year.
Under the Constitution, a Sen
ate committee cannot originate
new taxes, and the Case motion
was an effort to force the tax
increase through appropriate
channels. Senator Case said he
will vote to report the bill as it
stands. but will fight on the floor
for amendments to finance it
