Committee Voles Limit On Highivay Spending Washington, May 22 (AP) The Senate Finance Committee voted today to put the big proposed highway program on a strict pay-as-you-build basis a step that could delay its Stopped and another for commercial zoning at 35th and Algonquin Parkway. No Action on Liquor Plan The new requests are for commercial zoning on the northeast corner of Bardstown Road and Lancashire for the Steiden stores, commercial on the north side of Atwood, east of Preston, for Everett Clark, and two-family zoning on Kentucky, between Cecil and 42d, for Edith VV. Sproat and on the east side of Ford Place, between Virginia and Sunset, for W. A. Clark.

No action was taken on an ordinance that in effect would return the closing time for liquor stores, taverns, and bars to 1:30 a.m. during the daylight-saving-time period. The ordinance was held in committee for further study. Debate Between Top Democrats Hall Says Washington, May 22 (U.R Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall said today the nationally televised debate between Adlai E.

Stevenson and Senator Estcs Kefauver was "the biggest flop of the year." He said the Republicans are asking the networks for equal time even though the debate between the rival Democratic presidential hopefuls "hardly seems worth answering." "It was a tired, sorry, and uninspiring affair," Hall said. "Be- tween yawns, many voters must have observed that the best man on the show was Quincy Howe, the announcer." Hall said that Kefauver and Stevenson "proved" in their face-to-face encounter that they both "lack the kind of leadership that would attract voters to support either of them for the presidency." Advertising Executive To Retire New York, May 22 (T) Thomas J. Cochrane, advertising director of The New York Daily News, will retire July 7, the newspaper said today. He joined The News when it was founded in 1919. Six Are Jailed In Panty Raid Lawrence, May 22 (JP) Six University of Kansas students were in jail tonight on charges growing out of a panty raid at nearby Baker University in which a sorority house was damaged and robes were ripped from three coeds.

Kansas University officials said they were "dismissing at once all students known to have participated" and would also dismiss any whom later investigation showed to have taken part. One of the students involved, Robert M. Hershberg, a freshman from New York City, pleaded guilty in Douglas County Court late today and was fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Approximately 100 young men identified as University of Kansas students caused an hour-long disturbance at the Alpha Chi Omega house at Baker, a Methodist College in Baldwin, last nighty London Tunnel Fire Lasts Nearly 2 4 Hours London, May 22 (TP) Firemen tonight put out a stubborn fire in a maze of tunnels 150 feet below the streets of London. They fought the flames and acrid smoke almost 24 hours.

More than 30 firemen were overcome by heat and smoke and taken to hospitals. The blaze broke out in a huge World War II underground airraid shelter now used as a transit center for British troops. Fifty soldiers fled when smoke rolled through the network of funnels. completion. The committee took this action at the same time it approved increases in highway-user taxes.

These would bring in an additional $14,400,000,000 during the next 16 years to help pay for the road program, the largest in the nation's history. Most of the new taxes already passed by the House were approved by the Senate committee. But because the Senate group decided to soften the tax impact on truckers, the increases it voted fell $400,000,000 shy of the increases passed by the House. Passes by 1-Vote Margin The chief provision of the highway proposal calls for a network of interstate superhighways, with the Federal Government paying 90 per cent of the cost. The states would pay the rest.

Adoption of an amendment that could slow the rate of highway construction came by a one-vote margin. This proposal, advanced by Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey, would limit spending on highways to the money available in any given year. Humphrey told the group last week the program would run in the red during 10 of its 16 vears. The peak deficit, he said, would be $4,700,000,000 in 1969. Backs Penny Gas-Tax Boost The Senate committee went along with the House on tax proposals that would increase the federal tax on gasoline from 2 cents a gallon to 3 and provide added levies on tire.s, tread it y.

rubber and excises on trucks, buses, and trailers. The committee balked at one new tax that drew strong opposition from trucking firms. The House voted to impose an annual tax of $1.50 per 1,000 pounds on the total weight of big trucks weighing 26,000 pounds or more. The Senate committee voted to make the rate $2.50 per 1,000 pounds and limit it to the excess over pounds. This would have the effect of nearly halving the added revenue from this particular provision.

Ilil by Nike Reported In First Public Test Nauman as giving this account: He escaped from the State Reformatory at Ionia, Sunday, stole an automobile Monday, and drove to Louisville yesterday. He noticed he was running out of gasoline as he drove south on Bardstown Road, and stopped in Kuntz' driveway. He forced a rear door with the hammer handle, and entered the house.

He saw Kuntz sleeping with his head on the kitchen table. Nauman searched the house for money. When he didn't find any he returned to the kitchen and started to beat Kuntz. Unhurt by Hatchet Kuntz got to his feet and started to fight back. He managed to hit Nauman once with the hatchet.

The handle broke, and Nauman wasn't injured by the blow. Nauman told detectives he was sent to the reformatory from Lansing, for auto theft. lie said he had been "in and out of the reformatory three or times since 1952 for violating parole." Nauman said he didn't know why he started to Louisville after stealing the automobile in Grand Rapids Monday. "I just wanted to put as much distance between me and that place as possible," he said. He was charged with robbery by violence.

He was held in jail here pending a hearing in Quarterly Court today. Mezzo-Soprano Dies at 68 Nw York Tim Sarvica New York, May 22. Mme. Maria Winetzkaja, 6'8, a mezzo- soprano who had sung in opera and given conceits, died today in Misericordia Hospital after a long illness. and then a silvery parachute gracefully detached itself from a massive white cloud.

The drone slowly parachuted down. The Army, at the last minute today, called off a three-day embargo on news releases from the firing area. Today's test seemed to highlight an Air Force criticism, that Nike lacks a seeker or electronic homing device that would enable it to lock on the target and follow it unerringly. The Air Force is contesting the Army's antiaircraft role with the Talos, a guided missile developed by the Navy. The Talos is equipped with a homing device.

The Nike is Its course must he set entirely from the ground. Therefore some human reaction time is needed to adjust the Nike flight data to the target data data that are registered by craft flying at supersonic speeds. Corporal Seems Slow The Corporal, a 45 foot giant with a 30-inch girth, left the desert floor in vertical flight in seeming slow motion, leaving a tail of flame as long as itself. It is reported to have a speed of more than 1,200 h. and a range of more than 50 miles.

For the newsmen the drama of the Corporal and two Honest Johns was unfinished, because their targets, on the ground, were out of sight many miles rvvay. The Army gave its assurance that all three had struck with gratifying accuracy. Has Electronic Brain The Corporal is a guided ballistic missile with an electronic brain under its warhead so its trajectory can be altered in flight. The Honest Johns, whose var heads alone weigh 1,500 pounds each, took off from ancled Program Continued from First Page have protested and have complained of hardships. "1 eouldn't look them in the re if we repeal the Claremont ordinance," he declared.

Mayor Broaddus, who attend ed the meeting, said ne wouia leave the policy on street-build- inc in the a dermen. liui ne urged that "whatever you decide to do, you should be consistent." The increase in sewer-service charges has heen in the making for months. Mayor Broaddus told the aldermen, There isn't any question that the M.S.D. has always heen underfinanced, and this will help it do its job." Won't Insist on It Several weeks ago, in approving the idea of the increase, Broaddus said he felt the M.S.D. should at the same time adjust its rates for those it serves outside Louisville.

At present, the few noncity users served directly by M.S.I), pay the same rates as those in the city, even though their water rates on which the sewer charges are based are higher. Broaddus said then he would ask that the noncity sewer rates be based on the full noncity water rate. But yesterday Broaddus said he would not insist on this. The Local Government Improvement Committee, headed by John Mallon, has proposed a' different approach to meeting the sewer needs of suburban areas, he said. He favors the approach proposed by the Mallon Committee, he said.

Won't Recommend It Concerning the purchase of Ihe Central High School property, Broaddus recalled that the School Board originally agreed to sell it to the Library for $157,000. The aldermen first refused to, but later agreed to appropriate the $157,000, plus $6,000 for moving books to the buildings. It was after the aldermen Initially rejected the proposal that the School Board began negotiating with the State Government, which agreed to pay 5125,000 for the south half of the properly. The School Board then agreed to sell the remaining half, containing the buildings, to the Library for $125,000 and an ordinance revising the original appropriation to fit the new offer was introduced. "I will not recommend the purchase under those conditions," Broaddus said.

"They agreed to sell us all of it, including the south half, which is needed for parking space and as a means for beautifying the area. Doesn't Want Arm Twisted "If we do bny the north half, we should not have to pay more than the difference between the State's offer ($125,000) and the original offer to us After all, the property and buildings were paid for originally by the City. I just don't think they (the School Board) should twist our arm." At their business meeting the aldermen also approved making 28th and Catalpa one-way streets between Virginia and Dumesnil after completion of improvements being made in Catalpa. Catalpa would be one way south and 28th north. The board approved one zoning change, turned down three, and received requests for four more.

Approved was apartment zoning cast of Illinois, opposite Whippooiwill Road, at the request of Lily May Snyder. Turned down were two requests for apartment zoning on Everett, between Patterson and Longest, MISSILES TALK A i i A '7 if 1 I i 4 -f renomination. Governor Chan. dler is supporting Bates.

About 25 per cent of the corn has been planted and tobacco transplanting is on the increase in western and southern counties, and is starting elsewhere, the report said. The week was cool and rainy, especially in the west. Hay crops are fair to good and some alfalfa has been cut. The strawberry crop is being marketed in southern and western counties and marketing will be in full swing elsewhere in 10 days.

Damage was confined to that floor. Matches were found around the mattress.

Seclbach Rlaze Found While the firemen were still at the Brown, draperies at a hall window on the fourth floor of the Seclbach were discovered smoldering. Firemen put out the fire. Evidence of the latest fire was discovered at the Brown Monday afternoon. Paper towels had been unrolled and lighted in the basement locker room of men employees of the hotel. The fire burned out before causing further damage.

Foster yesterday gave. Safety Director Malton a written report on the first fire at the Brown. In it he said: "We feel certain that the fire was set intentionally in a mattress which had been sitting in the hall for several days prior to the fire. Mattress Against Rules "There was no evident means by which it could have been fired except by a deliberate method, "The fire, having started in the mattress, communicated to the painted walls and spread through the corridors and to those rooms in the area where door transoms were in an open position." Foster acknowledged to a reporter that the storing of the mattress in the hall was contrary to fire-safety regulations. "Nothing highly combustible or flammable should be stored in the halls or stairways of a hotel," he said.

Claims Alert Needed Foster's report also noted, "We are of the opinion that the guests should have been alerted as soon as the officials realized the seriousness of the fire." Hotel officials said the establishment's evacuation signal was not sounded because it was not believed the fire was serious enough and that to do so would cause panic among guests. Both Foster and Malton said no action will be taken against the Brown officials. Leaving the mattress in the hall was an oversight and the failure to sound the evacuation alarm was "a matter of judgement," said Foster. Safety Rules Revised Both he and Matton noted that as a result of the Brown blaze all Louisville hotclmen have been put on notice to take certain safety precautions. Also, regulations have been stiffened by requiring the use of flameproof draperies and cur tains and the sealing of door transoms.

A new regulation to require the use of fire-retardant paint in halls and stairways also is to be sought. Matton said an inspector from the Fire Prevention Bureau has been assigned fulllime to the job of checking safety measures at hotels "and we are getting complete co-operation from the hotel officials."
