Eisenhower Disappointed at Congress* Failure to Pass
Road BUI; Leaders Say It Still Might Be Possible
Columnist Denied Retrial
Of Libel Suit in Which
Fighter Won $35,000
LOS ANGELES, (AT—Sports col
umnist Vincent Flaherty and the
Hearst Publishing Co. have been
denied a new trial of a libel suit
in which former heavyweight
fighter Lou Nova won $35,000
damages. ,
Superior Judge Newcomb Con
dee ruled against the defendants.
A jury in his court held last
June 1 that Flaherty was wrong
in calling Nova a coward for his
actions in a fight with ex-heavy
weight champ Joe Louis in a fight
Sept. 29, 1941.
Nova sued for $200,000, alleging
his reputation was damaged.
f WASHINGTON, UPi—President
Eisenhower Thursday expressed
keen disappointment over House
rejection of new highway legisla
tion, and urged Congress to recon
sider the matter before ending its
session.
In a statement, the President
said differences over financing
methods should not be permitted
to “deny our people these critical
ly needed roads.”
The House in a, series of votes
Wednesday killed all new nation
al highway legislation.
It rejected 224 - 193 President
Eisenhower’s plan for a multi
billion-dollar program of con
struction to be financed by a long
term bond issue.
Then it defeated 292-123 a Dem
y—...- — .
ocratic pay-as-you-go substitute
plan calling for increases in gaso
line and some other automotive
taxes to raise $12,423,000,000 over
the next 16 years.
“I am deeply disappointed,”
Eisenhower’s statement said, “by
the rejection by the House of
Representatives of a nationwide
system of highways.
“The nation badly needs new
highways. The good of our people,
of our economy, and of our de
fense, requires that construction
of these highways be undertaken
at once. There is difference of
conviction, I realize, over means
of financing this construction. I
have proposed one plan of financ
ing which I consider to be sound.
“Others have proposed other
methods. Adequate financing there
must be, but contention over the
method should not be permitted
to deny our people these critically
needed roads.”
But Republican leader Martin
(Mass), commenting on the Presi
dent’s statement, said he believed
a compromise measure could be
worked out at this session “if we
really want to do it.”
“I would favor a cohipromise in
order to get some kind of a bill,”
Martin said. “If we were to pass
a bill containing some taxes and
some bond issuing authority and
send it to the Senate, I believe a
workable and acceptable compro
mise could be obtained.”
Rep. Fallon (D-Md), who han
dled the Democratic measure in
the House* Wednesday and headed
a committee that drafted it, said
he, too, would like to see a com
promise passed “if time and the
rules will allow us to.”
Bulgaria Admits Its Anti-Aircraft Guns
Shot Down Airliner Killing All Aboard
LONDON, tW—Bulgaria admit-*
ted Thursday that its anti-aircraft
guns shot down an Israeli airliner
killing all 58 persons aboard. It
said the plane was off course for
100 miles over Communist terri
tory.
Bulgaria expressed regret for
the tragedy and appointed a gov
ernment commission to inquire
into the disaster in which 12 Am
ericans perished.
Breaking a 24-hour silence, the
Bulgarian Telegraph Agency, in a
broadcast communique, said the
El A1 Constellation left its course
over Yugoslavia Thursday and en
tered Bulgarian air space “with
out warning” over Trin. The town
is about 85 miles northwest of
Sofia. The airliner was flying
from London via Vienna and Is
tanbul to Israel.
The plane, by Bulgarian account,
moved within a short distance of
Sofia on its errant course, then
flew south before being shot down
>
in flames near Petrich, just a few
miles from the Greek border.
Aboard the plane were 51 pass
engers and a crew of seven.
The Bulgarians said their anti
aircraft defense was “unable to
identify the plane and, after a few
warnings, fired.”
