Ask U. S. Dollars
On January 20, members OF
the House Appropriations Com
mittee obtained from Budget
Director Maurice Stans the
concession that use of such
permanent, indefinite appro-
priations" makes fiscal control
of foreign currencies loose as
a goose"
The State Department then
submitted to the House Com
mittee request fo& 1892 mil
lion in United StatNS dollars
plus $14 million in fore&n cur
rencieS for educational ex-
change activities for the COM
ing fiscal year. The request,
representing an increase of al
most IS million in United
States dollars, was put before
the committee in two forms
One followed the system of
indefinite appropriations for
the use of the foreign curren-
cies; the other, the annual ap-
preparation system.
Robert H. Thayer, special
assistant in the department for
coordination of the exchange
programs, argued that Congress
would retain control even if il
approved the indefinite appro-
priations because, "it is i'm
possible for us to carry out
programs without spending ap-
propriated dollars as we'll as
foreign currencies."
Ask Tight Control
In his budget message tC
Congress, President Eisenhower
came out strongly for tight
budget control through the reg
ular appropriations procedure
Mr.. Thayer argued, however
that the exchange program was
an area in which the President
has proposed an exception to
his general rule.
Behind the Presidents &C.
ceptance of this exception was
a strong report made to him by
the Board of Foreign Scholar
ships, the panel of well-known
educators who administer the
Fulbright scholarships.
The program, the report said
lacked Government support. To
be effective, it must be planned
on a 5 to 10-year basis and mot
according to the dictates of the
fiscal straightjacket in which
educational exchange is now
ted
Although the United States
has cultural relations with more
than 80 countries, the report
noted, the educational exchange

4,O5O Miles
New Highways
BY the Associated Press

In the last two years the
United States has completed
1850 miles of new roads as part
of its long-range plan to build
Al 900 miles of interstate high
ways.
The cost to the taxpayers
was S1,348,0O0,000 with the
Federal Government providing
81. .085 100000 of the total.
In addition. 5,229 miles of
highways are either under ac-
tual construction or contract
and will cost $3,275, 100000.
Funds Obligated
Funds have been obligated
for construction Of another
8,27l miles of the highways
at a cost of S6,459,000,000.
Under the 1856 Federal-Aid
Highway Program, the Govern
ment puts up 80 per cent of the
cost of roads designated as
essential to national defense,
while the States put up 10 per
cent.
The program is not to be
confused with the regular high
way program in which the
Government puts up so per cent
Of the necessary funds and the
States put up so per cent.
PreSent-Day Need
A report to Congress by the

Test Road in
836 Sections

OTTAWA. III. (AP).-The
design for tomorrow's high
ways is being worked out to
the drone of a convoy Of trucks
driving up and down an eight
mile test road near here.
The 70 trucks, ranging from
pickups to semi-trailers and
carrying various loads, have
travelled nearly 4 million miles
since November. 1858. The S22-
million research project will
continue another year.
Findings of the project are
expected to have a big inAu-
ence on future highway design
and to provide information for
studies in highway user taxa
ton.
To Help Set Weight Limits
Also. they will be used by
the Bureau of Public Roads
in determining the maximum
weights and dimensions OF We
hicles to be operated on the
Federal highway system, in
cluding the interstate system.
The project, sponsored by
the American Association Of
State Highway officials, is
administered and directed by
the Highway Research Board

the National Academy of Sci
ences-National Research Coun-
Gil, private non-prof1t organi-

Costs are being shared by all

lumbia, Puerto Rico. the Bureau
of Public Roads. the Automo-
bile Manufactures Association
the American Petroleum Insti-
tute and the American Insti-
tute of Steel Construction.
Has 1876 Sections
The test road is built in 836
separate sections, with asphalt
thickness ranging from
surface treatment up to 81 in
ches, and rigid pavement rang
ing from 2l2 inches up to 1912
inches on 8 inches of sub-base.
Half the road is paved with
portland cement concrete and
half with asphaltic concrete.
There are Is 50-foot test
bridges - eight with steel
beams, four with reinforced
concrete beams and four with
pre-stressed concrete beams.
One section Of pavement
stands relatively idle. 1t is be-
ing used to determine the
effects of weather alone on
highway pavements.
Equipment Costly
A million dollars worth of
instruments and equipment
collects and analyzes data on
the behavior of the test pave
ments.
Some 1000 small electrical
devices are installed on, in
and under the pavements to
measure strains, reflections.
pressures, temperatures and
frost depths.

PHOENIX NEWS
JOHN HANCOCK writes
By JOHN HANCOCK

In my travels around and
about, where I had business, and
where / had not, this writer has
noted as one will when looking
around & town or village, things
that are OF indicative to- it's
people, homes, and churches. In
doing so I have watched the
progress of the village of Rob
bins closely for the last seven
years. I have followed the COM
bined efforts of two admins
t. ations making determined
move toward the Improvement
it's people SO richly deserved,
but realizing the almost insur
mountable problems that con-
fronted them from the start.
We don't want to appear COM
plimentary, but as an outsider
who is seriously interested in
the progress of his own wher-
ever they may be, I beg to be
allowed to make these observa-
tons: To bring an organization
out of chaos, is, to say the
least, a major operation. Ten
years ago, Robbins had what
was said to be an incurable dis
ease, but having faith in inf
people, knew that if they once
made up their minds, the incur
able would one day be cured.
So it appears that some minds
have been made up, and altho
there lis yet long way to go.
Robbins is definitely on the
way. Now we know that it the
administration is shoddy and
and corrupt, then it reflects
right down to- the last citizen.
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1960-06-11

But if the administration is on
it's toes and interested in their
town, it reflects on the citizens
also. Sow we wish to compli-
ment Police Chief Aaron Stout
for setting the police where it
Should be. It is a good looking,
sharp organization, that is real
ly on it's toes, and the fire de
partment is up and coming,
working hard to render it's SER
vices whenever and wherever
needed. A city may be destroy
ed in a day, but to build one
from practically scratch will
take time, much time. With us
the race is not to the swift, but
to the determination to do what
"they say" could not be done
'they say could not he done.
I say, 80 years has been long
enough. Carry on!
It appears that the Phoenix
Officials are going through with
their secret plans to sell out
the town, and the hard part to
swallow is that our own people
are running over themselves to
help. The Harvey City Council
is expected to pass an ordin-
ance accepting South Phoenix
into it, but the other part of the
deal will not be completed with
out a figh. The Phoenix Joint
Council is prepared to see if the
courts will condone town to
be stripped of it's revenue and
left to suffer. We do not believe
the court will. BY the next writ
ing, the scores will be in.
