House bill will be $20.7 billion.
Over the 12-year period the
Federal Government also will
spend about 81 billion on roads
and trails in National Parks and
Forests.
The House bill is expected to
reach the floor of that branch
Thursday, but it must first clear
the Rules Committee. In that
group a decision will be made
whether to permit or bar floor
amendments.
Ordinarily, after both houses
have passed different bills on the
same subject the two versions
are submitted to a joint House.
Senate conference group to rec
Ioncile the differences.
The proposal Of Senator ByrC
to have the measure sent first
to the Finance Committee woulo
be unusual. But the Virginiar
pointed out that an unusual
course has been followed by put
ting taxes in the bill.

Normally all taxes originate ir

Committee and then 90 to tn.
Senate Finance Committee. AL

Means group is going along with
the decision of the Public Work.
Committee to put taxes In tht

Sending the bill to the Finance
Committee will not necessarily
affect final passage Of a highway
bill at this session. but 1t prob.
ably will require more time te
complete action.
The House committee included
in its bill provision applying
the Bacon-Davis prevailing wage
law to construction on the inter.
State system. This was approved
I27 to 4. This law requires pay
ment of the prevailing wages in
the area where work is being
carried on with Federal aid

By J. A. o,LEARY


Chairman Byrd Of the Senate
Finance Committee said today
he win ask to have the pay-as-
you-go highway bill which was
approved by the House Public
Works Committee yesterday
sent. to his committee because oi
the increased motor vehicle taxes
it contains.
The bill won approval of the
House group % to 6. 1t calls fol
a total outlay by Federal and
State governments of $48.4 bill
Lion for road building over the
next IL years.
The Federal share of about
$35 billion will be at the annual
rate of about three times the 81
billion a year the Federal Gov
ernment is now spending for
highways.
Higher Taxes.
To help meet this added bur-
den on the Treasury. the bill
would raise about $l2 billion OF
new revenue over a 15-year pc
riod from these sources:
Increasing the Federal gaso-
line tax from 2 to 3 cents a GAL
lon. $S.6 billion: raising diesel
fuel used by trucks from 2 to
cents a gallon, $713 million: q
10-cent additional tax on large
truck tires, $3.50 million: a 6.
cent increase on inner-tubes fol
these tires, $45 million; a 3-ceni
increase on smaller truck tires
$170 million; a new tax of Il
cents per pound on material used
In retreading tires. 1924 million
and an additional 2 per cent
manufacturers excise tax or
trucks, buses and trailers. $871
million.
The Senate already has passed
the Gore bill, calling for an $1e
billion Federal and State match
ing highway program limited to
five years.
The House committee followed
the example Of the Senate by
turning down President Eisen-
hower's plan for a $21 billion
special bond issue to complete
the country interstate
system.
Would Complete Network
But the House committee went
along with the Presidents objec-
tive of completing the Interstate
system. OF the total in the
House bill, $26.6 billion is ear
marked for the Interstate sys-
tenn, Of which the State share
will be $3.50 billion.
