Road Bill Blame
is a Bum Rap, ;
Trucker Says

! 1IuCk6IS, JUS OpcIdOOlo dIO
the rubber. diesel oil and gaso-
line industries spearheaded the
fight that ended in defeat for
the Eisenhower road program.
But to blame" the outcome on
the big highway users, as some
congressional spokesmen are do
ing, is a "bum rap" William A,
BreSnahan, assistant general
manager of the American Truck
ing Association. Inc. said today.
Typical of spokesmen for the
groups that combined to beat the
legislation. Mr.. Bresnahan said
that there was no objection to
an equitable" tax boost to f.
nance the projected roads sys-
tenn, but in the industries closely
tied in with the vast plan, the
general feeling was that the tax
bite was too much under the
pay-as-you-go scheme of financ-
ing.
Role of Politics
There also was a feeling that
politics" played a large part
in the outcome.
The ATA is principal spokes-
men for the trucking industry
in the United States, and the
office here prepared a set of
figures to show Just what would
happen to the truckers under
the proposed tax plan.
The present taxes on the pur-
chase and operation of an av-
erage new Diesel-powered FIVE
axle trailer truck for a year
add up to $4,480, including State
registration fee and fuel taxes
the Federal tax on new vehicles,
taxes on a new set of tires and
tubes and Federal fuel tax. This
would have jumped to more than
$5,511. and there would have
been comparable increases for
purchase and operation of larg-
er vehicles, under the proposed
legislation.
Mr.. BreSnahan, who said that
the Alta stand was akin to that
of the National Association of
Motor Bus Operators, explained
that the carriers supported the
Presidents highway plan, and
would have been happy" with
the pay-as-you-go idea as SUBJ
stitute for bond-issue financing
if it had been worked out to hit
everybody equally.
Blamed for Killing Bill
"We had a logical program
from the very outset, but now
we're being blamed for killing the
bill," he said. There was moth
ing we could do but fight the
measure in it's final form"
Mr.. Bresnahan stresses that
his organization wanted across
the-board" tax increases, and
objected particularly to the
boosts in rubber tax, and the
two-cent gallonage tax on diesel
oil.
They had planned a fight ir
the Senate Finance Committee
if the House had not killed the
bill.
A similar point of view wa.
expressed by the Rubber Man.
Iufacturers Association, Inc.
spokesman for tire producer!
and allied industries.
RMA President Ross r. Orms.
by pointed out today that tn,
Organization some time ago hae
stressed that the Nation needed
the new highways, but that al
users should bear proportionatt
share of the cost.
Recalling that billions in reve'
nue. would be needed, the RMA
told Congress:
"As a compromise, we sugges
the same amount in new take!
could be collected on an equita'
BILE basis by a modest increast
in the tax on all tires, tubes anc
Icamelbacks for retreading, ra'
|ther than the punitive increast
proposed on only a few of these

With smile on his face, he cheeriIy

Drill Grass Seed
For Better Stand

RESEARCHERS at the BeltSville,
Md, experiment station are increasing
the first harvest yield of newly seeded
pasture crops by over ton. The tests
involve the comparison of broadcast
seeding and fertilizing with drill seed
ing and band fertilization.
A tall fescue and Ladino clover mix
ture, seeded broadcast at rate of four
pounds of fescue and one pound of
clover, and fortified at rate of $50
pounds of 3-12-6 per acre, yielded an
average of BIT pounds of weed-free dry
matter per acre in the initial harvest.
When the same mixture was drilled
and fertilizer was banded one inch be
low the seed, per acre yield averaged
2,865 pounds. Similar widely divergent
yields resulted when these two methods
were compared using various rates OF
seeding and fertilization
The tests also showed that on fields
where the fertilizer was broadcast the
weed growth was much denser, the
weeds being fertilized along with the
grass. The experiments Indicate that
grassland farmers no longer need to
accept with complacency poor stand
on newly seeded pastures and hay
fields.

Privilege and Duty
Have you ever seriously thought oil
our high privilege and duty to maintain
cheerful attitude toward life? That
sentence is easy to write down, but it
is task to live up to it. It is certainly
good psychology, as the mind students
OF our day tell us, and it is just as good
when applied to our religion.
The story is related that Martin Luz
Their, pursued and bounded by enemies,
sometimes came to the thin edge of
despair. One day he shut himself in his
library and did not come down for
his meals. His wife, Catherine, was a
woman who could preserve her good
sense of humor in any situation. She
knocked on the door and heard faint
Come in.'' She called to him, Martin,
God is dead" He leaped to his feet,
saying, Catherine, that cannot be-
She quietly said, Martin, you act AS
if He were dead"
It was Ella Wheeler Wilcox who wrote
the line "A gloomy Christian is a
paradox" Meaning, suppose, ''un-
thinkable.''
Mental Attitude
Our doctors all know that their
ability to help their patients recover
is pretty largely in the mental attitude
of their patients. A very old physician
remarked, ST think / have done as
much good in the world with my smile
as with my pills."
The late DR.. Frank Crane once wrote
an article on Cheerfulness. took line
from it: eff the Christians who at
tend our churches would only be happy,
as happy as they have the right to be,
there would soon be scarcity of seat
ing capacity in our churches
Rejoice in the Lord, Away is the
way the Bible puts it. AS lad, I often
went with my father to what they
called Class Meeting. It was largely
given to prayer and testimony. I re-
one curious old man who had
a face as grim as the thought of the
Last Judgment. He would get up and
say, II am glad / am Christian"
recall that I often thought, ''He
doesn't look like it,
We owe duty to our loved ones, and
everybody we meet, to live on the bright
tide of life!
