Part of this money state funds, but the projects w'11 be delayed if federal matching funds are not available. In his telegram to Hearnes Volpe said "the President has asked me to express his ap- preciation to you for the actions you have already taken to reduce construction programs in a. cooperative effort with the federal government to stem inflationary pressures." "The Volpe said, "fully intends to pursue the this m-oblem go long as our common objectives can be met in that way.

He firmly believes that the Governors are in the best possible position to assess the priorities programs of and their state's to determine where construction projects can be curtailed with the least oossible adverse effects." Volpe also asked Hearnes to outline all projects Missouri planned to defer. Missouri's Highway Commission recom- mended no voluntary cutbacks. Hearnes sent a telegram back to Volpe saying no voluntary cutbacks were planned. But it was noted the federal would mean a 20 per cent cutback in the actual cash flow this fiscal year because of the delay in getting contracts ready during this fiscal year ending June 30, 1970. Unlike Missouri many other spends its states, federal highway aid as fast as it can get it.

Federally aided projects have a high priority in Missouri. When frequent cutbacks in federal aid hit as an anti-inflt- tion Missouri's buildmg program suffers. Highway Department officials point out it takes almost five years to complete planning, removal of utilities and right of-way. acquisition before con- struction can start. financing from the federal trust fund.

Because of this fact, the federal government normally releases money on a quarterly basis, not in a lump sum. The federal government pays 90 per cent of the cost of building interstate system high- ways, leaving the state with 10 per cent of the cost to pay. Most primary, secondary and urban highways constructed on the of 50 per cent federal and SO per cent state funds. With whatever construction funds the state still has a a i a after matching federal funds first, the depart- ment finances projects on the primary, secondary and urban systems with 100 per cent state money. The Highway Department gets all state money from taxes on gasoline, license fees for motor vehicles, drivers license fees and "the motor- vehicle use tax.

The state does not get federal money until after the highways have been completed. Then it it sometimes three months before the state is reimbursed for the federal government's share of the cost. There are three stages federal tMicitjaid money must pass before the, state can obligate it. Federal funds for highway work are first "appropriated" by Congress for all 50 states. The next step in the process the "apportionment" of each fiscal year's federal highway funds to the Ap- portlonment merely is the an- nouncement of each state's share of federal road funds for the fiscal year.

Neither the appropriation of suddenly shift to other state projects with Missouri money. Plans, removal of utilities, right way purchase all take time on big projects up to five years, Because of this situation many states arc getting fed up with the federal government constantly playing with the federal aid trust fund. Although it is not supposed to be done, many states believe the federal government borrows from the trust fund from time to time funds, nor the apportionment of for purposes other than high- funds allows the states to award ways, a single dollar of a federal aid highway construction contract or buy one piece of right of way. This can come only after the "release" for obligation of the previously "appropriated" and "apportioned" federal money. When the money is released the states are in effect told they can now obligate federal aid funds for highway projects because the federal government trust fund at that point has enough money to reimburse the states.

Normal release dates are July 1, Oct. 1, Jan. 1 and April 1. Because state funds are also tied up in federal projects, a delay in releasing the money has a harmful effect on state planning. Highway departments can't When projects already plan- ned and ready to go are defer- red the' cost because construction expenses continue to Increase.

years ago when i Lyndon Johnson asked for a cutback In spending on highways a a lever against inflation, Hearnes fired back an angry reply. Hearnes charged "the future of Missouri's high- way program was threatened because certain members of Congress were passing the buck to the President and the Presi- dent was putting the squeeze on Congress by suggesting a road cutback." This year Hearnes let the State i a Department handle the reply and referred all questions about the to the Highway Department.

Chitwood Paul-W. Saunders of Houston, the night of Oct. 23, 1967, when -Saunders'. light airplane crashed near the City municipal airport, trapping him inside. Chitwood and Verh Dyer, both Mc-iPac employes, were returning to Jefferson City by auto when they spotted a n'd airplane down along Highway 94, in a field east of the airport.

The. plane was afire and flames were encircling the engine cowling, near the pilot compartment. Chitwood jumped from the car. arid ran -to the -scene while Byer meed to a. telephone to 'call for help.

Whin he reached the plane, dense smoke both outside and inside the cockpit obscured his vision so he climbed onto the wing for a closer look. At first he observed nGthing but then he saw a man's hands straining against the glass of a window in ah effort to escape. After several fruitless at- tempts to open the door he then tried to kick in the glass window all to no avail. He then noticed a small opening near the top of the door and a several momenta managed to pry and tug the door open with his bare hands. He pulled the injured pilot from the plane.

Saunders by this time was only serni-con- scious suffering from smoke inhalation and broken leg. Because there was great danger the plane might blow up any second, Chitwood then half-dragged and half- carried the injured man to a safe distance. A few minutes later an ambulance and fire-fighting equipment arrived" and the rescue was complete. That is the account' of the except for one element. During the entire time Chitwood was attempting to extricate the pilot, the wing on which he was standing contained 40 gallons of aviation fuel and the flames were only two to three feet away.
