Auto Tax Shift
Urged by Clark

Legislation to divert part Of
the excise taxes on automobiles
and automobile parts TO finance
the Federal-aid highway pro-
gram was introduced yesterday
by Representative Clark, Dem
ocrat Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Clark's proposal would
apply 5 per cent Of the auto
mobile tax to the highway fund
for the four fiscal years start
ing in 1861. To this would be
added revenues from the 8 per
cent tax on automobile parts
and accessories.
Earmarking the two taxes
for the highway trust fund,
Mr.. Clark said, would take
care of the funds deficit for
the four years and give Con-
gress an opportunity to review
the long-range financing pro.
gram.
Mr.. Clark suggested that the
$493 million deficit in the fund
for the present fiscal year be
financed by a direct appropria-
ton.

Mr.. Pace. board chairman of
the Convair division Of General
Dynamics Corp, took issue with
subcommittee members who
said such an affair could not
avoid discussing public business
and defense policies. and pos
sibly might have given some
companies a competitive ad-
vantage.
The dinner party was to have
been held last month at a hotel
here, but was called of after it
came under criticism BY the
subcommittee. Chairman He
bert, Democrat of Louisiana,
disclosed previously that he
was among several members
of Congress invited by Mr.. Pace,
former Navy Secretary Dan A.
Kimball and the president Of
the Martin Co. Mr.. Hebert de-
clined the invitation.
Other Witnesses Due
Mr.. Pace, who also was
budget director for a short time
| in the Truman administration,
was the first of several defense
company officials called as wit
nesses this week by the sub
committee, investigating pos
sible abuses in employment of
retired military and Govern
ment civilian personnel by de-
tense contractors.
Questioning quickly got
around to the purpose Of the
proposed dinner for Gen.
Schriever. who had just been
named head of the Air Re-
search and Development Com
mand. Gen. Schriever said later
he declined the invitation.
Mr.. Pace said he was "happy
to have the opportunity" to ex-
