Gov. Harrison
Would Spread
Road Costs

WILMINGTON, Del, May 27
(AP)-Virginia's Gov. Harri-
son suggested today that the
time may be ripe to spread the
cost of highway construction
across the entire economy and
not rely solely on highway user
fees.
Gov. Harrison said that many
industries and businesses, while
they don't own a single vehicle,
could not exist without the
roadways that deliver their
products or bring them workers.
goods and customers.
Highways are the arteries
of new industry, of tourism. of
agriculture and its associated
industries. Doctors, lawyers
yes, even our Indian chiefs
nowadays depend on the high
way as an essential extension
of their lives"
Gov. Harrison, speaking at
Delaware's eighth annual High
way Day, said that most States
have pursued the philosophy
that the user of the highway
receives its benefits and should
shoulder its COSTS"
But, he added, "this has
never been wholly true, and it
becomes less so with every
passing year"
The Governor said that the
expanding economic future
means that highway needs "are
virtually certain to grow larger,
and to do so at an increasing
pace"
Whether we pay now or pay
later, as our highways go, so
go our States. ThiS-and no
less than this-is the charge
to all who have a part in their
planning, construction or fl
nancing."
Gov. Harrison made it plain,
however, that he was not sug-
gesting that his home State
was ready to abandon its ira
ditional policy Of pay = as =
you-go.
ANY inference from my
comments should be inter-
preted as relating to the meth
cd, rather than the timing, of
the extraction process" he
said.

EVERYTHING BUT THE CANDIDATE
$500 Rally for Go|dwater
BY ANNE H. CHRISTMAS
Star Staff Writer

The only conservative aspect
was the absent candidate at
q rootin', tootin' political rally
sponsored by Montgomery
County Republicans for Barry
Goldwater for President yester-
day in Bethesda.
Originally planned as "a lit
tie neighborhood rally" the
outing at Al-Marah Arabian
Horse Farm, 1900 River road
turned out to be a jam-packed
rodeo, complete with cowboys,
steers, pretty girls and a few
short speeches to lend political
flavor. About $500 enthusiastic
fans of Goldwater, or horses,
or both attended.
Senator Goldwater, Repubn-
can of Arizona, whose candi-
dacy never has been announced,
was just about the only item
missing from this day planned
to boom his nomination for the
presidency in 1864.
Exceeds Hopes
The crowd, which was far
in excess of the hopes of even
the most enthusiastic commit
tee members, sported "Goldwa-
ter for President" banners,
hats, balloons and lapel but
tons of varying sizes.
Dominating the scene was a
30-foot-long banner reading
"JFK-We Will Barry You" 1t
was carried by seven Gold
water Girls" dressed in red,
white and blue.
The main speaker was Sena-
tor Tower, Republican of Texas,
who declared "The American
people are tired of an ad-
ninistration with double stand
ards of morality, on one hand
bringing tentative measures to
bear against raising prices and,
on the other, compelling busi-
ness to accept inflationary
wage demands from union
bosses"
He declared that the Ameri-
can people want a President
who will stand up to Khru-
shchev and not be frightened
by his bluff and bluster.
Aimed at Victory
eve need a policy aimed at
victory in the cold war, and we
cannot co-eXist when the
enemy is bent on our destruc-
tion," Senator Tower said.
"The American people are
looking to the Republican Party
for a real alternative because
they will not accept me-too-
ISM" he added.
Representative Gurney, Re-
publican of Florida, described
the New Frontier as "a
warmedover New Deal which
cries for fiscal responsibilities
and then depends on Arthur
Schleshinger to cram a drung-
en-Sailor budget down our
throats."

TONS current racial crisis.
However, he said he would not
press his inquiry upon private
school operators in the future
because he felt the issue would
be "diviSive" for the county
board.
Issue Seen Descriptive
This, he said, could be even
more disruptive to the public
welfare than segregated classes
in some of the 50-odd private
schools operating in Arlington
County.
In a related development,
Mr.. Urbanske asked County
Manager Bert w. johnson if
Arlington officials were pre-
pared to handle any disturb
ance that might arise from the
August % civil rights march in
Washington. Mr.. johnson said
the county was making GER
tain preparations.
Mr.. Urbanske told his fell
low board members he had
seen mobs of Mahatma Gan
dhi's followers run riot in CAL
cutta years ago, and added
that he feared a small element
of unruly persons could be the
spark touching off violence.

ABC to Move Aooin,
4th Time in 20 Years

No one can accuse the Dis

The higher rent being paid
for the P.U.C.'s new offices is
balanced out by allowing the
other agencies to move into
P.UC.'s former space in the
District building, according to
James L. McCallister, District
administrative services officer
Both the PUG. and the ABC
originally objected to their
moves. The PUG. which did
not want to move out of the
District Building where it had
been located for many years,
dropped its objections when its
present quarters were found.
The ABC has objected to loss
of approximately 900 square
feet of space involved in its
shift and the loss of parking
spaces for liquor inspectors.
Another problem ABC an
ticipateS is finding outside
rooms in the District Building

yesterday, were not revealed
but Mr.. Berger's group paid
approximately IS million for
the dairy when it was bought
in late 1860 from the Maryland

The sale at that time was
the result of a Supreme Court
ruling which upheld a two
year-old District Court deci-
sion that the cooperative vio-
lated the Clayton Antitrust

1854 and must divest itself of
the property.
