heads the roads subcommittee In a statement prepared for the launching of Senate debate on the vast new highway legis lation he declared that basic differences between House and Senate measures can be merged into satisfactory legis lation BOTH BILLS he pointed out are aimed at developing a system of magnificent inter state highways interconnect ig all of Americas principal cities The House is backed by the administration They differ Gore explained in the manner of apportioning 25 billion dollars in federal aid money to the states in the next 13 years under a build program financed by in creased gasoline and other highway user taxes THE interstate highway program which would cost a total of 27 billion 750 million dollars would be part of an overall 36 billion 800 million dollar measure en compassed in the Senate or about 52 billions as defined in the House Construction of primary secondary and urban roads would be projected over five TOKYO scientists announced their instruments indicated the United States set off another hydrogen blast at Bikini Mon day comparable in to the mighty May 21 explosion The Atomic Energy Commis sion in Washington im mediate comment Central Meteo Observatory said its 15 gauges throughout Japan recorded atmospheric pressure waves from the direction of Bikini for about 40 minutes i THE OBSERVATORY said the duration and strength of the waves were the same as those recorded after the May 21 blast which exploded with an estimated force of more than 10 million tons of TNT A seismo graph at 130 miles northwest of Tokyo recorded earth shock nearly three hours ahead of the air gauge read ings the scientists reported The seismograph also record ed 21 blast before the atmospheric instruments EARTH SHOCKS travel much faster than atmospheric pressure waves None of the 15 newsmen who saw the May 21 bomb drop at Bikini were there Monday Their stay in the proving ground was limited to 30 days Weather conditions forced repeated postponements of the drop and thus delayed later tests of the current series beyond the time limit granted the correspondents years in the Senati and for 13 years in the House version However the

aid ap formula based on state population road mileage and area The House would pin the allotments on the basis of each states estimate of its own need Other differences involve truck weight limitations which would be stricter in the Sen ate and a House require ment deleted in the Senate measure for contractors to pay prevailing local wage scales on interstate highway projects SEN PAT
