Session on Bill Lusts
ID Hours; Conferees
Voice Optimism
BY the Associated Press

Senate passage of the high
way bill early today assured the
Nation of a mammoth program
of road construction aimed at
coping with the ever-swelling
flow of motor traffic.
Passage came after midnight,
with weary Senators shouting
approval of the measure that
would set in motion the greatest
peacetime Federal building pro-
gram IN history. The Senate
finished work on the bill at a
session that ran IA hours and
Is minutes-the longest so far
this veal.
Before adjourning for a Me-
mortal Day holiday the Senate
named it's conferees to meet
with those from the House to
hammer out a compromise bill.
This was expected to be done
without too much difficulty, since
both branches are agreed on
authorizing vast expansion of
Federal funds for roads, along
with new gasoline and other
taxes to help pay for them.
y-aS-YOu-B Build Basis
The legislation will give Pres
ident Eisenhower a highway pro-
gram of about the size he has
been asking. But Congress last
year rejected his plan for
financing much of the new
spending with special bond is
sues. Instead, both Houses APP
proved taxes designed to do the
work on a pay-as-you-build
basis

The projected 13-year pro-
gram contemplateS an inter-
state road network to link prac-

$4,000 population with no-in-
tersection, no-stop-light roads.

Bid to Soviet Air Show
by Twining
White House
Authorizes
Moscow Trip
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND

With White House approval,
Gen. Nathan F, Twining, Air
Force chief of staff, today ac-
cepted an invitation from the So
Wet government to attend q
Russian air show June "a.
The announcement came from
Secretary of the Air Force
Quarles and specified that the
acceptance was authorized by
President Eisenhower and APP
proved by the Secretary of State
and Secretary of Defense.
/ Gen. Twining, the brief state
ment said. will be accompanied
by several Air Force officers"
The acceptance climaxed a
furry of controversy over the
visit which started even before
the invitation was received. The
news first was leaked through
the United Nations to a New
York newspaperman. Apparent
ly the Soviets had sounded out
Gen. TWining on his attitude
toward a visit.
Joint Chiefs Mentioned
In Washington official PEN
tagon sources caused a stir by
saying an invitation to the en-
tire Joint Chiefs of Staff would
be "favorably considered. That
sounded like the administration
wanted to broaden the scope of
the suggested visit.
The Presidential Press Aide
Murray Snyder told reporters
that if an invitation to the Joint
Chiefs were received, he
wouldn't be surprised" if it
would be accepted.
The Kreml,n apparently did
not take the full hint. The for
NAL invitation delivered Monday
was extended to Gen. Twining
alone, but he was asked to bring
along any officers he wanted.
That would still leave a small
possibility that others of the
joint chiefs could make the trip.
Secretary Quarles' announce
ment said:
With the authorization of the
President. Gen. Nathan F. Twi-
ming, chief of staff of the Air
Force, has accepted an invita-
ton from the Soviet govern
ment to attend the Soviet air
show June "a. The Secretary of
State and the Secretary of De-
Tense have approved. Gen. Twi-
ming will be accompanied by sew
eral Air Force officers"
British Have Accepted
Senior British air officials, as
well as top air people from sew
eral other countries have ac-
cepted invitations.
Administration sources said
this initial visit could lead to
further invitations-from both
sides and possible further
higher level exchanges.
The State Department was re-
ported previously to have taken
dim view of the invitation to
Gen. Twining. Secretary Dulles
is not so sure this is a good time
to chat publicly with the Soviet
leaders, as there are no solid in
dications the Kremlin is pre-
pared for serious negotiation Of
East-West differences.
The State Department also is
put out because the Twining in
vitation went through non-dip-
lomatic channels. The usual
procedure would be Tor a Soviet
representative to sound out the
State Department privately on
the official reception of an invi-
tation. Then. il the coast were
clear, a message would be
HANDED formally ID MI. Dulles

1t Is expected that the pro-
gram will again include Pony
League baseball and "little lea
