Democratic strategistS were
pushing today for House pas
sage of a "middle-of- the-road''
labor reform bill by nightfall
The speedup may involve
risky parliamentary tactics. A
false step could result in pas
sage of the relatively tough
bill Endorsed by President Eli
senhower.
StrategiSts were considering
a plan to let the stringent
Landrum-Griffin bill win a
preliminary test vote and then
to kill it on the roll call vote
that counts.
The parliamentary situation
then would give the House a
limited choice-passage of the
compromise Elliott bill, or re-
lection of all labor legislation
Indications are that many OF
those who favor the strict
Landrum-Griffin bill would
vote for the Elliott measure
as better than nothing.

1-Cent Gas 7 ak Rise
16-0 Vote
Ends Road
Fund Tieup
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Stah Writer

The House Ways and Means
Committee broke a deadlock on
the highway program financing
problem today by voting 1879
for a l cent increase in the
Federal gasoline tax from next
month to July !, 1861.
The committee also agreed to
recommend that 5 per cent Of
the present 10 per cent excise
tax revenue on automobiles and
S per cent of the current 8
per cent excise levy on auto
motive parts be transferred to
the Highway Trust Fund for
the period from July /. 1861.
to July l. 1864.
Committee officials estimated
that the 1-cent increase in the
present scents a gallon Federal
tax would bring in an addition
al $3.50 million for the remain
der of this fiscal year and
another $3.50 million for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1861.
This tax increase would apply
not only to gasoline but also to
diesel oil.
So Billion Yield Seen
Diversion of part of the ex-
else tax revenue on passenger
automobiles and parts and &C.
cessories for the three years
beginning July l, 1861, would
bring in an estimated additional
total of more than 50 billion.
Members said this additional
revenue would enable the Fed
eral Government to allocate
about S1.8 billion to States this
year for fiscal 1861. 1t thus
would prevent a serious slack
ening in building the 41,000-
mile interstate highway pro-
gram authorized by Congress in
1856.
| According to unofficial eSti-
mates, the Federal ALLEGATIONS
TO States would amount to
about So billion for fiscal 1862
and $2.2 billion for fiscal 1868.
The House Public Works
Committee recently recon-
mended an authorization meas.
lure for annual ALLEGATIONS of
approximately $2.2 billion be-
ginning in fiscal 1861.
Proposed by Byrnes
The gas tax increase and
excise tax transfer plan finally
agreed on today by the COM
mittee after weeks of wrang-
ling was offered by Representa-
tive Byrnes. Republican Of
Wisconsin.
Only a few days ago Mr..
ByrneS proposed a 1-cent in
crease in the gas tax, but this
was rejected by a 1910 vote
along with other proposals for
tax boosts ranging from one
half cent to IL cents a gall
lon. The 112-cent increase
was urged originally by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
The compromise voted today
was understood to have resulted
from the willingness of the ad-
ministration to accept a some
