National Highway Program.
This study of the entire high
way traffic problem and presen-
tation of a detailed solution for
its remedy is an analytical re-
view Of the major elements in
a most complex situation. In
addition. the Congress will have
available the study made by the
Bureau of Public Roads at the
direction of the 83d Congress.
These two documents together
constitute a most exhaustive ex-
animation of the National high
way system. its problems and
their remedies. Inescapably, the
vastnesS of the highway enter
prise fosters varieties of pro-
posals which must be resolved
into a national highway pattern.
The two reports. however, should
generate recognition Of the
urgency that presses upon us:
approval of general program
that will give us a modern safe
highway. system; realization of
the rewards for prompt and
comprehensive action. They
provide a solid foundation for
a sound program,

Woman Admits Tossing
Man S Body in Pond
BY the Associoted Press

GROTON, Conn, Feb. GA
50-year-old Willimantic woman
was held on an open charge last
night after State police said she
admitted she tied the body of
Harry Strosberg, 59-year-old
heart attack victim. to the rear
bumper of a car Friday and
dragged it 70 miles over de-
serted shore resort roads.
Police had been searching for
clues in the mysterious death of
the Waterford real estate man,
a former Albany IN. " resi-
dent, ever since his bruised, cut
body was found in small East
Lyme pond Saturday at the end
of a long trail of blood.
1t. Osmus Avery, commanding
officer at the Groton police bar
racks, quoted Mrs. Annie Sadd,
a business associate of MIR
Strosberg's, as saying he died of
a heart attack Friday afternoon
at her East Lyme home.
According to 1t. Avery, Mrs.
Sadd said she panicked and dis
posed of the body after night
fall. She dragged the 200-pound
Mr.. Strosberg from the house
and tied his body to the rear
bumper of the car with a clothes
line. Then she drove the machine
to the lonely pond and pushed
Mr.. Strosberg into the water, 1t.

The extension. of necessary
highways in the territories and
highway maintenance and i'm
provement in national parks. on
Indian lands and on other public
lands of the United States will
continue to be treated in the
budget for these particular sub
jects.
A sound Federal high program,
I believe, can and should stand
on its own feet, with highway
users providing the total dollars
necessary for improvement and
new construction. Financing of
interstate and Federal-aid sys-
TENS should be based on the
planned use of increasing rev.
enues from present gas and
diesel oil taxes, augmented in
limited instances with tolls.
Special Bond Issues Favored.
am inclined to the view that
it is sounder to finance this pro-
gram by special bond issues. to
be paid off by the above-men-
toned revenues which will be
collected during the useful life
of the roads and pledged to this
purpose. rather than by an in
crease in general revenue obliga-
tions.

Following Is the tert of
President Eisenho,Uer's mes
sage to Congress today out
lining his highWay program:
Our unity as Nation is sus-
tanned by free communication Of
thought and by easy transpor-
tation of people and goods. The
ceaseless flow of information
throughout the Republic is
matched by individual and COM
mercial movement over vast
system of inter-connected high
ways criss-crossing the country
and joining at our national
borders with friendly neighbors
to the north and south.
Together, the uniting forces
of our communication and
transportation systems are dy-
manic elements in the very
name we bear-United States.
Without them, we would be a
mere alliance of many separate
parts.
The Nations highway system
is a gigantic enterprise, one of
our largest items of capital in
vestment. Generations have gone
into its building. Three million,
three hundred and sixty-six
thousand miles of road, travelled
by So million motor vehicles,
comprise it. The replacement
cost of the drainage and bridge
and tunnel works is incalculable.
One in every seven Americans
gains his livelihood and sup
ports his family out of it. But.
in large part. the network is
inadequate for the Nations
growing needs.
In recognition of this, the
governors in July OF last year
at my request began a study of
both the problem and methods
by which the Federal Govern
ment might assist the States in
its solution. I appointed in Sep
tember the Presidents Advisory
Committee on a National High
way Program. headed by Lucius
D. Clay, to work with the gov
ernors and to propose plan of
action for submission to the
Congress. At the same time a
committee representing depart
ments and agencies of the ma
tional Government was organ
lied to conduct studies co-ordi-
mated with the other two groups.
Need for Action Inescapable.
All three were confronted with
inescapable evidence that action,
comprehensive and quick and
forward looking. is needed.

Commission, who has been

Clay for an exposition of the
recommendations made by the
committee he headed.
Chairman Chavez of the SEN
ate Public Works Committee told
reporters after the conference
that he believed the recommen-
dations as a whole "are subject
to serious doubts as to whether
they could be effective"
Serious Study Pledged.
1--WE are going to pay attention
conscientiouSly to their Sugges-
tions," Senator Chavez added,
however, land try to get out a
bill that will build roads"
Senator Gore, Democrat. of
Tennessee, who heads a Public
Roads subcommittee of the
Public Works Committee, said
there are certain appealing
features" in the Clay program,
but that he prefers the road
building expansion plan provided
in a bill he already has intro
duced.
Senator Cores bill, on which
his committee started hearings
yesterday, would authorize an
nual appropriations of S1.6 billion
a year for the next five years to
be spent on matching basis
with the States for highway con-
sn'uction.
Nothing Partisan"
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty told reporters
that Mr.. Eisenhower informed
the bipartisan group and SO far
as he was concerned there was
nothing partisan in building
roads"
Mr.. Hagerty said that Mr..
Eisenhower recalled that during
World War II. when he COM
manded Western Allied Armies.
he was considerably impressed on
entering Germany by the great
German Autobahns and the
facilities they gave for the move
ment of people and goods around
Germany.
Then. Mr.. Hagerty said, the
President recalled his ''unpleas-
ant experience" of travelling on
some of our roads" after the
war. He said Mr.. Eisenhower
emphasized that ever since then
he has been very interested in
establishing throughout the Ma
ton an adequate interstate sys-
tenn of highways.

traffic, serves IS per cent OF the
urban and As per cent Of the
rural population. Approximately
$1,000 miles have been desig-
mated to date. This system and
Its mileage are presently in
cluded within the Federal-aid
primary system.
In addition to these systems,
the Federal Government has the
principal. and in many cases the
sole; responsibility for roads
that cross OF provide access to
Federally owned land-more
than one-fifth the Nations area
OF all these, the Interstate
System must be given top pri-
ority in construction planning
But at the current rate of de-
velopment, the Interstate net
work would not reach even a rea-
sonable level of extent and eff
cheney in half a century. State
highway departments cannot ef-
fectively meet the need. Ade-
quate right-of-way to assure con-
troll Of access: grade separation
structures; relocation and re-
alignment Of present highways;
all these. done on the necessary
scale within an integrated sys-
tenn, exceed their collective ca
pacity.
If we have a congested and
unsafe and inadequate system.
how then can we improve it so
that ten years from now it will
be fitted to the Nations require
ments?
Cost Study Essential.
A realistic answer must be
based on a study of all phases
of highway financing. including
a study Of the costs of complet-
ing the several systems of high
ways, made by the Bureau of
Public Roads in cooperation
with the State highway depart
ments and local units of govern
ment.-- This study. made at the
direction of the 83d Congress in
the 1854 Federal-Aid Highway
Act. is the most comprehensive
of its kind ever undertaken.
Its estimates of need show that
a 10-year construction program
to modernize all our roads and
streets will require expenditure
of S101 billion by all levels Of
Government.
The preliminary 10-year to-
tails of needs by road systems
are:
Interstate turban S11, rural
$12 billion, $23 billion.
Federal-aid primary (urban
$40. rural $40 billion $50 billion.
Federal-aid secondary (en-
tirely ruraD, SIS billion.

TENS (urban S2l, rural SAT bill
