Highway Outlay
Expected to Top
So Billion by 81
BY the Associated Press

~ viz AaooItabcu FItSS
The Government has spelled
out prospects for a steady rise
in highway spending which il
expected to help speed recovery
from the business recession.
Bertram D. Tallamy, Federal
highway administrator, said
spending on road construction
and improvements will APP
proach 1925 billion this year,
compared with $5.7 billion in
1857.
Mr.. Tallamy said an even
sharper increase, to ST. billion
is expected next year. And he
forecast highway OUTLAWS of
$8.1 billion by 1862.
Federal aid will pay for about
20 per cent of this years prof.
ectS, Mr.. Tallamy estimated,
and 40 per cent next year. The
Federal share is then expected
to increase gradually until it
is stabilized at about AZ per
cent.
The squirt in Federal con-
tributionS will stem from ac-
celeration of work on the
Al ,000-mile net of interstate
super highways. Washington
pays 80 per cent of the cost
Of these roads.
Federal spending will in
crease from 81 billion in 1858
to $3.6 billion in 1862, he said.
The States are expected to
increase their highway spend
ing from $2.6 billion in 1858
to $3.l billion in 1862.
Mr.. Tallamy estimated out
lays by local governments will
increase 5000 million in the
same period, to $1.3 billion.

the assignments they seek, mo-
tons will be filed promptly.
1T is my duty to hear them
and / am going to hear them,
even if it takes a night ses-
sion," he declared.
Most of the discussion re-
garding those students who
have taken the tests was held
in the judges chambers at the
request of attorneys for both
sides.
When reporters appeared in
the chambers, Leigh D. Will
liams, attorney for the school
board. asked if they should be
allowed in.
Judge Hoffman told Mr.. Will
liams the only time he excludes
the press is when a hearing
involves juveniles. and even
then he admits the press with
the understanding names viii
not be used.
Il haven't anything to hide
I've been very bitterly as
sailed from time to time by
people. I'm perfectly willing
to proceed with the press here. -
said Judge Hoffman.
Senator Byrd. Democrat Of
Virginia. on several occasions
has made public speeches crit
icizing the Republican judge.
AS soon as it was agreed that
results of the tests would be
available promptly, Judge Hoff =
man and the attorneys returned
to open court to hear argu-
ments on whether or not the
local assignment plan is un-
constitutional on its face, as
contended by the students who
did not take the test.

The 68-year-old eX-convict
and one-time business agent
for a Transfers local. surren-
dered to authorities at a drive
in restaurant by pre-arrange-
ment.
I'm happy to have it over
with" he said, adding to news
men:
I'D like TO cooperate, but be-
ing innocent, I don't think I
could be connected"
Kierdorf, who disappeared
August 4, refused to say where
he had hidden.
Sought on Gun Charge
The balding Herman was
sought on a warrant charging
him with possession of a gun
with silencer. He vanished the
same day his nephew, Frank
Kierdorf, Sc, stumbled into a
Pontiac hospital with burns
over IS per cent of his body
Frank died four days later.
Police believe Frank. a Flint
Transfers business agent, was
burned while setting fire to a
Flint dry cleaning shop.
Earlier Michigan Attorney
General Paul Adams called the
missing Herman the key to the
mystery.
But today Mr.. Adams said he
had no immediate intention OF
filing a charge against Herman
in connection with the dry
cleaning shop fire.
Frank Kierdorf told police
before he died that he had been
burned deliberately by two men
But police said their investiga-
ton disproved his story.
Discounts Contention
Herman insisted Frank, an
ex-convict like himself, did not
torch himself, accidentally OF
otherwise.
"Why should Frank set that
place on fire as an arson job
he asked. II just don't believe
Frank would do a thing like
that
Clutching a big cigar and
wearing an Ivy League cap.
Herman gave himself up

of 10 pm. His son, Richard,

police.
u am a sick man." he told
reporters, referring to a heart
condition. He added that an
other reason he turned himself
IN was that he felt sorry that
chief assistant prosecutor
George Taylor of Oakland
County was taking a rap"
Booked at County Jail
1t was Mr.. Taylor. a CHIEF
investigating officer in the
Frank Kierdorf fire death mys-
terry, who let Herman have his
freedom August 4 after he had
been questioned.
I'm sorry I caused so much
trouble" Herman said apollo
getically.
Herman surrendered to Mr.
Taylor and chief prosecutor
Frederick c. Ziem at the drive
in. The two officers were &C
companied to the meeting place
by Herman'S son.
Before being booked at the
Oakland County Jail, Herman
took a nitroglycerine pill fol-
his bad heart.
Herman was booked on
formal charge of possession Of
pistol silencer, a law viola
ton in Michigan.
He said he never left Michi-
gan while the search was on,
But he refused to say where he
had been.
Statements in Conflict
Herman statements IN an
interview with newsmen some
times were in conflict.
At one time he said he van
ished because he was shaken
up by the death Of my nephew"
He did not explain why he dis
appeared three days before
Frank died.
Il hated to meet his
Franks wife," he said. u

all about. With my health

The House nevertheless went
ahead with the housing bill
The fate of the measure was
in doubt. although its support
terS predicted it would muster
the necessary two-thirds ma
jority.
AS for prospects for adjourn
ment of the 85th Congress this
week, both Speaker Rayburn
and Senate Democratic Leader
johnson remained non-com-
initial.
Mr.. Rayburn remarked to
reporters that Il am not the
conscience of the Senate" Mr..
johnson indicated to newsmen
that he will try to speed the
Legislative process by obtaining
agreements to limit debate on
some Of the additional bills he
said last Saturday he might
call up.
After diSposing of the labor
and housing bills. the House
will have comparatively little
to do except wait around to act
on new or amended bills sent
over from the Senate. 1t also
will have to dispose of several
must" matters still in House
Senate conference.
At least one potentially dam
gerous obstacle to adjournment
by the end of this week appar-
emily has been removed. The
Senate last Saturday reversed
its earlier demand for a House.
Senate conference on a House
compromise farm bill.
The House planned to send
that bill back to the Senate
early this afternoon. Senate
Agriculture Committee mem
bers, despite the .closeness of a
9-6 vote last Saturday request
ing return of the bill, hoped the
Senate would accept the House
measure late today or tonight.
Might Accept Changes
Similarly, the House might
expedite matters by promptly
accepting changes the Senate
made last Saturday in passing
the original House bill increas-
ing benefits and tax rates in
the Social Security System. On
less the House decides to send
that bill to conference it might
pass it this afternoon.
Bills already in conference
can be brought up in House or
Senate as privileged matters at
any time after the conferees
agree.
Those still in conference in

House voted $l.2 billion and

The Senate shows signs of
waiting until almost the last
day of the session to vote on
two of the biggest remaining
bills. Those bills. already passed

Mclaughlin

District Commissioner Rober,
Mclaughlin said yesterday he
believes the streets Of Wash
ington ARE safer today than
they were two months ago"
Since extra foot patrols were
assigned to the city streets. the
police department has achieved
a better control of the situa-
ton" referring to violent crimes
which plagued the city early
this year.
He quoted Police Chief Rob-
ert Murray as saying some
very good arrests have been
made because Of the expanded
force.
He added, however, that it
is still too early to show the
full effect of the stepped-up
street patrol.
The commissioners, he said
will reveal details of their new
police pay bill in about 10 days

granting the overall IS per
cent boost proposed in a bill

The retired officer said fur

He predicted even more uni

poses in the years to come with
perhaps one uniform"
you don't have a police
force in your city with three
uniforms" he said.
The convention Resolutions
Committee offered an indorse-
ment Of the plan with certain
exceptions. such as the limita-

Defense Secretary TO establish
unified commands and no vote
for the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Of staff.

The Air Force section moved

Planning Shoke-Up

The proposed replacement Of John
Nolen, jr., as director of the National
Capital Planning Commission should not
end Mr.. Nolen's long service to this
community. Indeed, during the few
years remaining before his retirement,
the removal of frustrating admins
trative problems with which he has
had to contend could leave Mr.. Nolen
free to make lasting contribution in
the perfection Of long-neglected plan
for the future development Of central
Washington.
AS for the directors job, we believe
Mr.. Nolen's change in status is wise
move. The need for shake-up in several
aspects Of the commissions operations
has become increasingly obvious. But
this reflects neither on Mr.. Nolen'S pro-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-11

fsssional ability As rlanner nor on his
personal dedication to the Job. In fact,
apart Of his problem has been too much
detailed responsibility and no adequate
means Of sharing it. This has con-
tributed TO strained relations both with
his own stan, and with public and private
groups outside the commission.
It would be mistake, however, for
the commission to believe It's problems
can be solved alone by new director.
In the final analysis. Mr.. NoIen has been
bound by commission policies--or, often,
by the lack of Arm policies. Petty In
trigues. vacillation and suspicion among
commission members, from the top
down, have been evident more than once.
Having taken this first step, the commits
sion would do well to examine its own
inadequacies, and to seek some means
by which the various interests which
comprise its membership can pull to-
gether for the good of the city.

the young Six-footer from the Bronx is
well on his way to the moon encased in
capsule equipped to permit a mans sur

AS far as Airman Farrell is con-
cerned, he might as well be rocketing to
far-off planet in his tiny cabin" His
sensations are precisely those of pas

assurance of quick rescue" If anything
should go wrong. The air he breathes

with oxygen. The temperature will be
kept at about that of the American

In a world beyond the attraction of
gravity These, however, already have
been tested in other experiments. In
nearly every respect, therefore, Airman
Farrell is embarked on an adventure Of
momentous consequence in the age of

will eagerly await the outcome OF the
experiment.
