telephone. please come at once to
my home! This is George Parting

Upon speeding to Parington's
home, you are met at the front
door by the frantic-looking man.
"It'S just too horrible" he exclaims.
"And me sitting in the living room
only a few feet away when it hap

Just inside the front door, in the
hallway, lies the woman's body, a
bullet hole in her head. A doorway
a few feet away leads into the liv-
ing room and stairway at the
rear of the hall leads to the second
floor.
"Just how did it happen?" you
ask Partington.
"It must have been robber," he
begins. II was sitting in the living
room reading the evening paper
when the doorbell rang. My wife
came downstairs to answer it. l

"No, just enough for incidental

you state. "But maybe a little fur

'Pay-as-You-Go
Roads Program
BY GARRETT ID. HORNER

President Eisenhower today
yielded to Democratic insistence
for a pay-as-you-go financing
plan for an expanded highway
building program.
{ House Republican Leader
Martin announced the PreSi-
dents concurrence in the idea of
raising users taxes to help pay
for new highways after a meet
ing at the White House between
the President, some members of
his cabinet and Republican con-
gressional leaders.
i Mr.. Martin said the type of in
creased taxes and the amount
to be raised for building new
highways still remains to be
worked out. He said the plan is
| for the House Public Works Com
mittee to hold hearings on high
way building legislation and
for the Ways and Means Com
mittee to hold its own hearings
and work out the tax program.
The two bills would be incorpo-
rated into one in the House
Rules Committee.
Increased taxes on gasoline,
cars and diesel oil have been
suggested as the most feasible
way to put highway expansion
on pay-as-you-go basis.
Top Officials Attend
! Secretary OF the Treasury
Humphrey and Secretary of
Commerce Weeks attended the
White House meeting today.
Mr.. Martin said he reported to-
the meeting that House Demo-
cratic leaders insisted that they
could support a highway expan-
sion program bill only if it car
ried new taxes to pay the cost.
( He pointed out that the Re-
publican congressional leadership
had been standing on the Presi-
dents proposal Of last year for
a special bond issue to finance
new highway building.
/ Mr.. Martin reported that it
was concluded at the meeting
that the administration will go
along with the pay-as-you-eo
taxation system" in order to get
a highway bill through Congress.
Program Imperative
| Saying that the President con-
Cured, Mr.. Martin said he thinks
the highway expansion program
rs very imperative for the safety
OF the Nation as we'll as the
economic progress of the coun-
try, and therefore he yields TO
the Democratic proposal that
taxes accompany the legislation. ="
Senate Republican Leader
knowland explained that appar-
emily the Presidents bond financ-
ing plan could not get through
the present Democratic-con-
trolled Congress and that "as a
matter of principle We feel there
must be adequate fil1ancine.'
