States rights . deficit financ-
ing the national debt limit
. these are but a few of the
issues which guided the debate
in the Senate last week on legiS-
lation to authorize Federal appro-
priations, on a more extensive
scale, for highway construction.

versus Federal aid has thus gone

and its easy allure, emerging as
the victor.

would question the absolute nee
esSity for an improved, modern
network of national highways,
not only to accommodate the
ever-increasing number of auto
mobiles but also to integrate our
defense system. However, any

States have constructed their own
roads and highways, and have
made a very creditable beginning
with reasonable goals for the flu
ture. In the face of this back
ground, it has been difficult to
rationalize any scheme for the en-
largement of Federal jurisdiction
at the point where the States
themselves have a most vital con-
troll and interest. Speaking of
interest, one of the programs,
considered and rejected by the
Senate, would have involved in
terest charges of about 55 cents
on every dollar borrowed.
Equally significant was the fact
that a Federal Highway Corpora

sure, represented an unprecedent-
ed form of Federal financing.
Most vigorously, the Comptrol-
Ter General of the United States
criticized this procedure from the
standpoint of financial fallibility.
While the idea of a Federal
Corporation was discarded, it has
been replaced by authority for
direct appropriations from the
Federal treasury as needed
situation which can only danger
ously affect the national debt
limit, now at an all-time aStrono-
mical limit.
The legislation, as finally pass
ed by the Senate, approves the
expenditure of a total of $12H
billion in the next 7 years, dur
ing which period gasoline taxes
will approximate $8.4 billion. The
difference of about $41a billion,
or nearly 500 million per year,
is but another illustration of more
precariOus deficit financing.
Even though 1 fully endorse
the imperative objective of ade-
quate highways for a growing
Nation, l oppose all versions of
the FederalAid Highway Con
struction Bill on the grounds of
Infringement of States RESPONSE
bility and unsound financing.
