bill. increasing Federal aid, is a
piecemeal plan and wouldn't do
the job. 1t is sponsored by the
committee chairman, Senator
Gore OF. Tennessee.
Mr.. Eisenhower asked Con-
gress to authorize a new Federal
agency to finance a 40,000-mile
network of interstate highways
through a 30-year bond issue.
The Federal Government would
put up S25 billion to be repaid
from gasoline taxes. The States
would be required to chip in 81
billion.
The Gore bill would double
the traditional Federal share in
a five-year program of develop
ing all the Nations roads, farm
to-market roads as well as high
speed interstate highways.
In assailing the Gore bill, Mr..
Weeks said it would involve "a
further unbalancing of the
budget, and possibly an increase
in the statutory debt limit"

This leads us to question
whether an open competition is
the most satisfactory method of
securing a nationally representa-

twenty-fourth biennial is one of
high quality. but that it cannot

Henry Dora, assistant director
of the gallery. said the exhibition

AS WE COMMENDED before there have been rejec-
lions of appointments which had no foundation whatever in
reason or logic, and for this the Senate may be performing
a disseryice to the electorate. On the other hand, when con-
frmation was not forthcoming then it should have been the
duty Of the executive to Withdraw such appointment and
seek another.
IT Is CLEAR TO us that there may be a twilight zone
