and the subcommittee on the Trad

The Senators are asking such

Are American investors escaping

accounts?
Are Americans evading Federal
Reserve margin requirements by
borrowing from Swiss banks?
Are corporation officers and di-
rectors evading SEC regulations
by secretly buying abroad shares in

control on segregated basis. The
State contended that it could not
be expected to regulate the park
under private operation. Such a
maneuver might even be possible
with school buildings. it was
thought.
Federal Judge Walter E. Hoffman
didn't buy this. He held that the
State could not do indirectly what
it was prohibited from doing direct
ly-that is, it could not let an indie
pendent operator run the park on
a segregated basis since the State
was prohibited from maintaining
segregation there.
Last October the Supreme Court
refused to review Judge Hoffmans
ruling and Virginia's hopes for get
ting around degeneration decisions
with lease arrangements went out
the window.
With that bit of judicial maneu-
vering out of the way, and the State
hierarchy still bent on foregoing

Pro-ControI
By SENATOR RICHARD
NEUBERGER

Americas motorists are about to
invest more than SIS billion in the
greatest road-building program in
history.
Will these costly new thorough
fares run between corridors of garish
and unsightly billboards, or will
they offer vistas of scenic country
side? That is the fundamental
question at stake in the issue of
signboard control along the new
-mile-long interstate highway
system.
The pocketbook of the travelling
public will be tapped heavily
through fuel taxes, excise levies on
cars and other imposts in order to
finance these four-lane highways
which will be constructed during
the next Is years.
Surely, the owners of automobiles
and travellers in interstate buses
can reasonably ask that the United
States Government which is put
ting up 80 per cent Of the total
funds for the new road network,
offer roadside scenery some measure
Of protection from being deSecrated
and even blotted out by a picket
fence of billboards.
Under my proposal, the Secretary
OF Commerce will prepare standards
for control and limitation of bill
boards. Signboards would be lin
tied to those needed for highway
Information and directions. those
indicating the availability for sale
or lease of the property on which
they are located. and those located
in commercial areas and advertis-
ing a business adjacent and access
sible to the highway.
Would Buy Up Rights
These standards will apply di-
rectly wherever the interstate syS-
TEN crosses Federal public land.
Here, direct Federal protection is
possible. On other lands, the Fed
eral Government will pay 80 per
cent Of the cost of buying up adj
vertising rights whenever any State
wishes to join -operatiyely in
such project. as it now pays 80
per cent of the other highway costs.
My bill would not prohibit the
location of billboards in cities or
industrial developments where such
advertising might be considered APP
propriate.
I believe that the provisions OF
this bill will satisfy the most in
flexible exponent of States rights"
theory. The measure is permissive,
not mandatory: no State need par
ticipate and no penalty. such as a
decrease or elimination of Federal
highway funds. will be imposed
upon any State which does not take
advantage of the plan. 1t merely
creates standards which the States
may accept if they desire to in
crease the beauty of their highways
at little cost.
Stotes Are Worried
Many States have already begun
to worry about encroachment of
billboards along new superhigh-
ways. In Pennsylvania, Gov. Leader
has requested action by the
State Legislature to prevent the
spread Of the billboard blight.
Maryland is considering billboard
control legislation. In my own
State of Oregon, regulatory legis-
lation passed in 1855 is now realized
