Senator Kefauver, Democrat;
of Tennessee, something of q
politician himself, came up today
with the picture of the perfect
politician--the like Of which one
will never see.
The Tennessean listed is
American political leaders--two
Republicans and 13 Democrats
whose qualities, If combined in
one individual, would make him
unbeatable politically.
The two Republicans listed by
Senator Kefauver were President
Eisenhower for his smile and
Senator Margaret Chase Smith
of Maine for her gracious
charm
The Democrats and their quail
tiles that would contribute to
making the perfect politician
were:
Senator Symington of Missouri

gia, voice; Adlai E. Stevenson,

candidate, fine wit; Senator

If the Senate should approve

posed by the President, the

would have to agree to the SEN

The House voted yesterday to
authorize a start on a newly de-
signed merchant ship. to be
driven by atomic energy and to
serve as the model for nuclear
powered United States Merchant
Marine.
A voice vote sent the bill to
the Senate, where 1t could be-
come a vehicle for authorizing
the atomic peace ship" which
President Eisenhower has urged
as a dramatic demonstration of
this Nations interest in peaceful
uses of the atom.
Many Democrats and some
Republicans have opposed this
plan-the Senate already has
voted 1t down once-as one
which would result in a "show-
boat" but which would not ad-
vance nuclear knowhow.
The bill approved by the
House would authorize the Mari
time Administration to build an
experimental commercial vessel
that could carry both passengers
and cargo in normal shipping
business. Estimates are that the
project will require from 5 to 10
years.

Giant Highway
Program Faces
New Barrier
By the Associated Press

| Plans for a giant road-bu:ld-
ing program were up against a
surprise barrier today as House
Public Works Committee mem-
bers gathered to reconsider pro-
lposals they've already approved.
Representative Mack, Repub-
llican. Of Washington. whose mo-
ton yesterday opened the door
for new changes. said he thinks
he'll get an okay on his amend
Iment to knock out part of the
committee-proposed 15-cents-a-
pound tax on camelback used in
Iretreading tires.
/ Other committeeman had
plans to try for changes in the
multi-billion- dollar bill which
supposedly got the committees
final" approval 1926 in a closed
session last Friday. All that re-
manned then was the formality
Iof accepting "clean bill" in
cooperating decisions worked out
in series of committee drafting
sessions But Mr.. Mack's recon-
sideration move upset that
schedule.
/ $48.5 Billion Outlay
AS drawn Friday, the bill called
flor $48.5 billion outlay on roads
over the next IL years. To help
pay for this, certain highway
user taxes would be raised by
$12 billion over a 15-year period
This would include a boost in the
gasoline tax from 2 to 8 cents a
gallon,
!, The question of financing has
proved the biggest bone of con-
Itention in consideration of the
Iplan. Democratic leaders have
been urging new taxes to help
meet the cost of new roadbuild-
ing. President Eisenhower pro-
. posed financing with long-term
bonds outside the national debt
limit. "A Senate-passed bill
doesn't say how the money
, should be raised, but Senator
, Gore, Democrat, of Tennessee.
author of that measure, suggest
led raising the gas tax.
The proposed new tax on
Icamelback was a late addition to
the committee list. 1t was ex-
lpected to bring In 1924 million
Iover Is years.
Would Halve Revenue
But Mr.. Mack said this would
boost prices of recapped tires
higher than new ones. He said
he wants to exempt camelback
for smaller retreads-a change
he figured might cut the antici-
Ipated revenue from this tax
about in half.
Representative Dempsey, DEM
ocrat Of New Mexico, said he
would seek to lower from 5 to
cents a gallon the proposed levy
on diesel fuel, because II think
they're piling too much on truck
Ing" The diesel fuel tax now
lis 2 cents a gallon.
Representative omp son,
Democrat of Louisiana, said he
may try for approval of his SUBJ
Istitute roadbuilding proposal. It
calls for a smaller spending pro-
gram in the first few years. Mr.
Thompson would get the neces-
Esary money by earmarking pres
lent highway user taxes for road
building and through appropria-

The Senate has voted to pro-
vide free Salk polio vaccine for
millions of children under age 20
and expectant mothers.
The next move Is up to the
House, whose Commerce Conit-
tee last week approved a some
what different free vaccine DILL.
Senate action yesterday came
on voice vote. The only audible
mo" vote was cast by Senator
Morse, Democrat Of Oregon, He
objected that the measure only
scratches the surface"
Welker Hits Health Service
Debate leading up to the vote
was highlighted by an impas-
stoned speech by Senator Welker.
Republican of Idaho. taking the
Public Health Service to task for
what he said was a failure to
act against the Cutter Labora-
tories of Berkeley. Calf. Sena-
tor Welker said Cutter vaccine
is directly responsible for 118
polio cases in Idaho, four of
them fatal.
Cutter officials have said they
prepared the vaccine according
to rigid safety tests exactly as
laid down by a committee of
polio experts" They have said
they furnished full information
to the Government and that ul-
innate determination must come
from Government officials. No
formal report has been made.
Both Senator Morse and SEN
ator Welker charged Federal
health officials with 'tcoverups"
in the vaccine program, but the
Idaho Senator was not in the
chamber when the vote was
taken.
The Senate bill, sponsored by
Chairman Hill, Democrat of Ala
bama and IL other members of
the Labor and Public Welfare
Committee, would authorize the
Government to buy vaccine
which would be distributed to
the States. The States then
would spread the vaccine among
communities which may ask
for it.
Handled by States
The House bill, too,. would
channel the vaccine through the
States.
This Is in line with admin
istration proposals which called
for appropriation of $35 million
to provide shots for children
whose parents can't afford to
pay for them.
However, the Senate measure
places no ceiling on the amount
which may be voted for the pur-
pose. This is left to the de-
cision of congressional appro-
priations committees.
