Homer Ferguson to day proposed that Congress put up 100-million dollars to help states and cities build a special network of atomic -age defense roads around key cities. The Michigan Republican made the proposal as the Senate took up a bill calling for $1,010,000,000 a year in federal highway aid funds during fiscal 1956 and 1951. Ferguson wants to amend the bill to create a special class of defense highways to give new and better entry ways for military and civil defense units in time of attack and better exit ways .for civilians be ing evacuated. His amendment would provide the 100-miilion dollars as a lump sum to be distributed to states and cities during fiscal 1956-51 on a 60- 40 matching basis. The money would be Used for prpjects certified by the Defense Department or the Civil Defense Administration. The Senate bill calls for more highway spending than a House passed measure. The House voted 815-mllllon dollars anpually the amount recommended by the ad ministration. The Senate measure would pro vide, annually, 342-mlllion In fed eral aid to the primary highway system; 228-mlllion to the second ary road system; 190-millkm to the urban system, and 150-milllon to the system of interstate highways. Another 100-milllon a year would go to such things as forest high ways, park roads and highways on Indian and public lands. OTHER CONGRESSIONAL NEWS Funds: House Democrats pro tested cuts totaling 58-million dol lars in Interior Department funds but showed little disposition to try to gather votes to restore the mon ey. The OOP-controlled House Ap propriations Committee approved $363,360,989 to run the department In fiscal 1955—about 60-million dol lars less than President Elsenhower recommended.
