boost from S cents to 8 cents a
pound the levy on tires and fix
a new 3-cent-a-pound tax on
tread rubber. The manufac-
turers' excise tax on trucks,
buses and trailers used on high
ways would go up to 10 per cent
from the present 8 per cent.
Because of a dispute over ap-
plying the same tax rate on
heavy trucks and passenger We
hicleS, the Ways and Means
Committee recommended a spe-
cial fee of $3.50 per 1000 pounds
on vehicles over $4,000 pounds.
Cher main provisions in the
bill would:
/. Have the Federal Govern
ment pay $24.8 billion, or 80 per
cent, of the SITS billion cost of
Ia 40,000-mile interstate network
of Superhighways. States would
pay the other $2.7 billion.
2. Increase the regular Fed
eral program of aiding primary
and secondary roads in States.
This program currently costs the
Government about $500 million a
year. The bill provides about
sos billion from 1857 through
1869.
8. Appropriate $12 billion for
road building on Federal lands.
4. Put an 18,000-pound limit
for any one axle for vehicles

less State laws in effect by July

by which States should be re-
imbursed for work they already
have done on highways that
would be part of the interstate

Searching Discussion Seen
Representative Fallon, Mary
land Democrat who engineered
the huge bill through many
months of pulling, hauling and
revising in the committee, said
the groups formal approval to-
morrow will be accompanied by
a written report explaining the
bill and how it differs from
highway bills rejected by the
House last year.
Mr.. Fallon and several Of his
committee colleagues said they
expect searching discussion and
possibly some opposition before
the Rules Committee clears the
bill for House floor action. But
they predicted the bill will be
adopted without substantial
change by the House.
1t has the backing of Demo-
cratic leaders as we'll as the
administration. 1t is regarded as
one of the most important pieces
of legislation before Congress
this year and one which the ad-
ministration especially wants
Mr.. Fallon said he thought
fewer than a half dozen of the
80 committee members will vote
against the bill.
Bills Differ on Financing
The main difference between
the present bill and the admin
iStrations measure defeated last
year was in the method Of f.
nancing. The administration
suggested that much of the Fed
eral Governments share of the
cost of a 10-year $25 billion pro-
gram be raised through bono
issue plan. Democrats refused tt
accept the bond method. But
their own bill providing for q
$48.5 billion 12-year program
and for $12.4 billion in addi-
tlonal taxes on highway user;
also was turned down by the
House.
The administration early this
year agreed to go along with
the pay-as-you-go financing
method. Some House Republi-
can leaders say the administra-
ton nevertheless believes the
current bill ought to be better.
The financing provisions were
worked out by the House Ways
and Means Committee last
March 2. The Public Work:
Committee Endorsed that reve.

By GROSVENOR CHAIRMAN


President. washington Metropolitan
Chapter, American Institute Of Architects
When we look for a new home,
most Of us hope for something
more than just practically. We
seek a house that will give us
emotional pleasure on first sight.
We want a house that looks good.
Fine. But dangerous, too. Be-
cause our emotions are affected
by all sorts Of tricky impulses
like sentiment, love, ambition,
false pride. Illustration and hid
den completes. There are few
material objects in our lives
which engender so many emo
tional feelings as the sight of our
future home. So be careful. This
is the moment when false beauty
can betray us.
On that note, let us examine
what it is that gives house good
looks-and perhaps beauty. Ger
tainly to be beautiful, the house
must have more than a geo.
metrically and structurally per-
feet design. 1t must have intel
lectual appeal, that quality
which tells a story we do not
hear of the kind of person who
would choose to live in it, of the
attitude of its builders. of the en-
thusiasm of its designers, per-
haps of the people who have lived
there in the past. 1t is the at
mosphere which pervades every
door and window, tree and shrub.
How can we understand this
subtle appeal which works on
our minds through our eyes?
Perhaps few things We do not
like will give us a clue in the
right direction.
Objectionable Characteristics
AS with people, we dislike a
house which is false and preten-
