Chairman Harry F. Byrd of
the Senate Finance Committee
expressed fear yesterday that
the interstate highway system
may cost $50 billion instead of
the original estimate of $23
billion.
The Virginia Democrat made
public correspondence will h
Secretary of Commerce Muel-
Ter, in which that official
promised to cooperate with
him. in trying to preserve "a
sound highway policy"
Senator Byrd recalled that
the Clay Commission, appointed
by the President. estimated in
1854 that the 40,O00-mile inter-
state system would cost S23
billion. Before it was authorized
by Congress in 1856, the cost
figure had been raised to SITS
billion.
Boost in 3 Years
The Senator also recalled
that in the intervening three
years the estimate has been
boosted again to 1898 billion
This is an increase OF $l6.s
billion, or more than 73 pei
cent, in five years" said the
Virginia Senator. And State
highway officials have testified
that only about one-fourth o.
the increase has been due tc
the 12 per cent rise in costs ol
materials and labor. The resi-
has been due largely to change:
in designs and expansion Of
the program.
"On the basis of the kind o.
experience we have had witt
the Interstate system to date
1t is, not difficult for me Il
foresee costs rising to a poin'
in excess of $50 billion by 1875
the presently scheduled com
pletion date The present estl
mate is too much. trust yol
find it can be reduced"
The law requires the Com
merce Secretary to review tn
entire program periodically
and his next report will b.
filed with Congress in tn
spring of 1861.
Senator Byrd, who has led
fight to keep the highway pro
gram on a pay-as-you-go baSi
out Of motor vehicle taxes, eX
pressed hope that Mr.. Muelle
would find that the temporar,
increase Of l cent a gallon il
the Federal gasoline tax, pu
into effect in October, shoulu
not become permanent or b
followed by further increases
He also expressed hope tina
the diversion of some genera
revenues to the highway func
which will be unavoidable TO
the next year or two, will no
become a permanent practice
The Senator said he ha,
agreed reluctantly to the tenn
porary boost in the gas ia
to preserve Federal fiscal integ
rity, which he said had bee
impaired by reckless highwa
financing policies recommends

acted by Congress in 1858"

Byrd Fears Highways
CostWiIIHitS5OBiIlio

Congress took in 1858 to speed
up highway work, and to re-
peal temporarily the pay-as-
you-go requirement, as a means
of relieving unemployment.
In his letter. Senator Byrd
also expressed concern that the
States will be tempted to stress
the interstate system and neg
lect secondary highways. be-
cause they get more Federal
dollars toward the interstate
projects. On an interstate high
way, the Federal government
puts up go per cent Of the cost.
whereas the secondary roads
are financed $3.50.
"Rights-of-way acquisition
costs are proving to be a tre-
mendous item, running to bill
lions of dollars in the inter-
state program, Senator Byrd
continued. The temptation to
grab land, hike prices and pro-
fiteer is inherent in such a
multi-billion dollar, multi-year,
90-l0 program.
Acquisition Policy
The Senator said the Comp
troller General of the United
States has found need for bet
ter right-of-way acquiSi ton
policies, and better application
! Of existing policies by both the
Federal and State governments
In his reply, Secretary Muel-
Ter said 1--WE cannot afford TO
allow another such highway
crisis He was referring to the
1858 law, which stepped up the
Federal allotmentS and suS-
| pended the pay-aS-you go re-

called that these steps were
taken despite warnings from
the Commerce Department.
TO avoid another such af-

Soviet Dairy Output
Declared Topping U. S.

MOSCOW, Dec. 26 (AP).-
The Soviet Union said today 1t
had beaten the United States
this year in milk and butter
production and was trying to
forge ahead in meat production
by 1868.
The official news agency TasS
made public a resolution on
agricultural production and
goals adopted yesterday at a
plenary meeting of the Com
munist Party central commit
tee.
Premier Nikita S. Khru-
shchev spoke, but Tass did not
disclose what he said.
The resolution, as summa-
rized by Tass, said Soviet fac
tories the first II months of
this year turned out over 40
billion rubles ($10 billion at the
official rate) more manufac-
tured goods than the economic
plan called for.
1t said the increase in indus
trial production over the same
period of 1853 was 11.3 per
Cent-inStead of the planned
IT per cent.
Ahead of Schedule
The resolution declared that
"the broad scope of the nation
wide movement aimed at catch
ing up with and surprising the
United States in per capita
production of meat, milk and
butter" show agricultural
targets of the 1896 seven
year plan could be achieved
ahead of schedule.
1t said Soviet butter output
this year was 845,000 metric
tons-and that amounted to
Kilograms per capita, against
81 Kilograms per capita in the
United States.
1t said that by the end ot
1859, the Soviet Union woulc
have produced 62 million tons
of milk-over five million ton,
more than the United State!

(Tass did not give the per
capita figures. But indica-
