Highway Bill Battle Nears Senate Vote
In Washington the Senate begins voting on the disputed highway bill as Democrats push their plan. Senator Gore advocates a large federal share for highway grants while Republicans seek President Eisenhower's plan with bonds and a separate federal corporation. Byrd attacks the financing approach, warning of fiscal risks and bond gimmicks. The bills would authorize up to 38 billion dollars in federal state outlays over a decade, with the Gore plan using direct appropriations and the Eisenhower plan relying heavily on bonds.
