Eisenhower backs bigger federal highway outlay
President Eisenhower urged Congress to raise federal aid for road building from 575 million to 800 million with state and local matches. A House bill by Rep. McGregor would also authorize 64.5 million a year for federal road work. He suggested delaying a scheduled one half cent gasoline tax cut. He noted planned homecomings of the 45th and 40th divisions from Korea, and said he will avoid state election campaigns but may travel for the administration program.
