faces an uncertain reception in this election-year Congress.

Highway experts say that two- thlrds of the country's roads. a key factor in national defence planning. are below minimum safe driving standards. with worn-out pavement. poorly engineered curves, narrow rights-of-way, jam- med intersections and narrow

bridges.

rloratlon of ' roadways and their inability to cope with present- day traffic, has before it several plans. introduced by both Repub- licans and Democrats. to finance a 15-year program of highway rodernlzation on a pay-as-you-go asis.

NEEDLESS COSTS They estimate that ginadequate primary highways, which provide the country's most vital transpor- tation links, cost aiuiually 31.000.- 000.000 in traffic accidents. 3900.- 000.000 in lost time for commercial The scheme basica" is aimed vehicles and S'l0.000.000 unneces- at modernizing. rebuilding and ex- "my spam on fuel, brakes and alagllng th; countsrygnintirstan mes, ' "'5' '3' 9"” ” - m 9 W" ' t te hi-nway system. work which now links 42 state cap- Frag t1n",I;;s 5, me !;,,.(,g,-,,n,, sen-. um. and 90 per cent "I .1! cm” ices 65 per cent of all urban dwel- with a populati. . of 50,000 or more. hrs and 45 pm. rem of the mm; The program includes 2.200 miles population But the experts say, of roads needed but not yet built. only one mile in SW”, six is con.

These proposals are designed to PEIIOOO and bridges built. Many of

Others would be graded. Steep grades would be reduced or clim- inated.

The construction costs are stag- gering. 'l'hey range in average from more than 3200.000 a mile in rural areas to as high as 316,- 000,000 a mile for big city express- ways.

The states, which would handle the construc- tion work. would raise the rest. Pay-as-you-go financing is fa- vored by most congressmen over a proposal made last year by President Eisenhower that the fed- oral share be paid through a spe- cial bond issue. The original Eisen- hower plan ran into strong opposi- tion and Eisenhower now says he will go along with the tax-increase proposal. though it admittedly
