The defeated Fallon Plan
would have raised the Federal
gasoline tax from the present
level of 2 cents a gallon to 3.
It also would have increased the
tax on Diesel fuel from 2 to 4
cents gallon.
Heaviest on Big Tires
The biggest proposals we're

no change. From 7Ax18 to and

have gone up to is cents a

l[R.-Prof. Marcus Oliphanr.
Australian leading atom physi-
cist. called on British scientists
tonight to combine and launch a
"commonwealth satellite" into
space.
His statement came after it
was learned that space rocket
experiments are to be carried
lout by British and Australian
authorities on the Woomera
rocket range.
TT is quite within the powers
Iof British scientists to build and
launch a similar satellite as
planned by the United States, I"
said DR.. Oliphant, director Of
the school of physical sciences

Iversity in Canberra.
The cost of such satellite
would be about 4 million Au-
Istralian pounds t$l4.560, ,000). he
added.
DR.. Oliphant said yesterdays

locrat of Tennessee and Repre-
sentative Fallon. Democrat Of
Maryland.
In brief, here are the key
features Of thethree plans:
/. GEN. CLAY-Set up a new
Federal agency to borrow money
I for roadbuilding from private
business and then repay the loans
with interest over a 80 : year
period through anticipated gaso-
line tax revenues. The proposed
$25 billion Federal outlay would
mot be classed as part of the
national debt. Over 10 years, the
Federal-State program would cost
$38 billion.
2. SENATOR GORE Get
started right away on building
roads. Pay for a five-year, S18
billion program with money ap-
propriated by Congress. Increase
the Federal gasoline tax to help
finance the program. It is this
plan which Democrats hope to
salvage next year.
3. REP. FALLON-Finance a
12-year. $48 billion program
through series of new and in
creased excise taxes. Add a penny
to the Federal two-cent-a-gallon
gasoline tax and impose sharp
increases on truckers.
Question of Emphasis
There are. of course, other
differences, such as whether the
emphasis should go on National
network of interstate superhigh-
ways or whether local and farm
to-market roads should keep pace
with the interstate highways.
But these were differences of
degree and in the final analysis.
hackers of the Clay, Gore and
Fallon programs could agree on
a compromise. Not so on the
financing.
Neil J. Curry, president of
American Trucking Associations,
Inc, asserts that the Fallon tax
program would charge / per-
cent of all motor vehicles
(trucks) with 26 per cent of
the additional revenue require
On the other hand, the Amer
lean Au o m o bile Association
gave its vigorous support" toI
the Fallon plan, saying it had
no objection to new taxes so
long as these tax increases are
reasonable and are apportioned
among the several benef1ciaries. ;"
Railroads Hit Trucks
Burton N. Behling, economist
for the Association of American
Railroads, also spoke up against
the truckers position, denying
that the tax increase was dis
proportionate and saying, in
stead. it didn't go far enough to
