March W5 EDWARDSVILL! INTELLIGENCER DOT Budget Request Up by for 1976 (Continued from Page 1) will actually be spent this year. Walker said continuing delays on the state's plans to build 1,050 miles of supplemental freeways state highways built to Interstate standards is due to red tape imposed by the federal government. The state so far has signed contracts to build only 83 miles of the proposed system. "The approval stages get longer and longer and longer," Walker said. "All the governors were screaming about this In Washington." DOT officials said new requirements by the federal government have pushed freeway plans back a full year.

"We are doing everything we possibly can to move that supplemental freeway program along," Walker said, a statement he has made often In response to charges he is deliberately delaying freeway progress. Walker plans to spend $100 million on intci state highway up from the $75 million to be spent on intcrstatcs this year. Ninety per cent of the funds for Interstate highway work are provided by the federal government. Details of most DOT construction plans will not become available until Walker releases his fiscal 1976 road program in June. Other highlights of the Walker transportation budget Include: $37 million, for airport improvements of which $7 million is earmarked for work at 50 airports, including Decatur, East St.

Louis, Champaign and Carbondale airports, under Walker's accelerated building program. $114 million to subsidize the Chicago-area Regional Transportation Authority and $6.4 million for operating subsidies to Downstate bus systems, incltidinj those in Decatur, Champaign and Metro-East. $17.5 million for flood control projects, $4.5 million of which is to build docking and berthing facilities for barges at the mouth of the Kaskaskia River, provide rip-rapping for a i a i a Murphysboro and to dredge the Fox Hiver in northern Illinois.

Secretory Testifies Before Congressional Panel Ford Veto Set Tax Cut Plan Provides Too Much Relief Simon Says Wnchinoin A I Washingtn (AP) The House, in sudden switch of maneuvers, today set vote for next Tuesday on overriding President Ford's veto of delay in his oil tariffs. Democratic leaders bad offered a 60-day postponement, matching the Senate's, to give 'time for work on a compromise. But Republicans insisted they had the votes to sustain the veto and demanded and early test. Sievers Funeral services (or Mrs. Charlotte M.

Sievers of Staunton were Wednesday in Zion Lutheran Church, Staunton. Pallbearers were Gary Sievers, Jim Sievers, Donald Sievers, Wayne Ruehrup, Gene Buehrup and Paul Gusewelle.

Washington (AP), Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said today the $21.3 billion tax cut approved by the House provides too much relief for lower income families. Simon testified before one of two congressional committees pushing ahead with their own energy and tax proposals in the face of President Ford's temporary retreat on key parts of his energy conservation program. The treasury secretary told the Senate Finance Committee, which is working on the House- approved tax cut bill, that key factor in the economic recession is the 34 per cent reduction in purchases of such durable goods as cars and household appliances. The principal buyers of such durable goods are families with incomes' over $10,000, Simon said.

Washington (AP) A small force of Marines and helicopters are standing by aboard a carrier near the Gulf ef Thailand as part of Pentagon contingency plans in case Americans need to be evacuated from the besieged Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, In addition to the Marines aboard the carrier, said to number less than 800 men, another force of several hundred- Marines was reported standing by on Okinawa in case additional help is needed in evacuating the estimated 400 Americans. Pentagon sources stressed that the contingency plans are merely a a i a measure and that there has been no order to prepare for an imminent evacuation. The sources also said that any evacuation would probably first be attempted with commercial jetliners. Another plan reportedly calls for flying in U.S. Air Force 1 3 0 transports.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Committee was examining how to proceed on President Ford's request for $222 million in emergency military aid to Cambodia. Ford's request was suddenly thrust into the panel's domain- Tuesday after the House foreign operations appropriations subcommittee dropped its plans to approve an appropriation and, at'the same time, to vote an authorization of the funds. In Phnom Penh, an American cargo jet, part of a fleet flying rice, fuel and ammunition into isolated Phnom Penh, was hit on the ground today during a rocket and artillery barriage of the capital's airport by Communist-led insurgents. No injuries were reported among the plane's crew, and the aircraft returned safely to Saigon's Tan Son Nhut air base, sources reported. Airport sources said two persons on the ground were killed and more than 20 wounded as more than 50 rockets and captured U.S.- made 105mm shells struck the area in the heaviest attack so far against the airfield.

The airport is the city's last link to the outside world. Insurgents have severed road and river routes. per cent of the relief in the House-passed bill would go to families with adjusted gross income of between $10,000 and $50,000. "It is clear that the purchase of durable goods has to be increased if the recession is to be turned around," Simon said. He urged the Senate to accept President Ford's own tax cut plan, which would target 57 per cent of its benefits on taxpayers making less than $20,000, but only 15 per cent on those families- with incomes under $10,000.

1 Simon said the Ford administration also strongly opposes a $2.9 billion provision in the House bill that would have the effect of refunding the Social Security taxes paid by poor families on the first $4,000 of income. Meanwhile Senate Democrats responded favorably to President Ford's move to com- promise on his energy plan. So did the stock market. But that still' seems to leave those wheels on gas pumps spinning toward higher prices. Ford -deferred the final $2 of bis $3 oil tariff for 60 days Tuesday, saying he wanted to give Congress time to reach a an energy plan and come up with a tax cut.

The Senate Finance Committee also moved toward quick consideration of a tax cut, putting off for new consideration of moves to kill the oil depletion allowance. While Ford also vetoed a bill that would have suspended for 90 days his right to impose such tariffs, Senate Democrats agreed to delay an override attempt on the veto and send any House-passed override to committee rather than direct action on the Senate floor. But all that still left the President's energy plan and a plan by House Ways and Meani Committee Democrats as basis for compromise. Ford'i plan, with the full $3 tariff, vould have raised gas prices by 10 to IS cents a gallon. The Ways and Means Committee plan would raise federal taxes on gasoline 40 cents by 1979, though half that would be rebated in various ways.

There were two other economic developments: --The House voted 367-55 to request the Federal Reserve Board, subject to continuing criticism for tight money policies, to lower long-term interest rates on such items housing mortgages. House Democratic leaders announced they would push for a $5.9 billion plan to be adopted by the end of the month to create up to 2 million jobs by funding federal programs previously authorized by Congress. farm you're looking for equipment MaRTifWAPPEN 5 Make it CLASSIFIED PHONE 656-4700 1 ERROR: Should include in death by three brothers, Joseph, Roy, and Clifford MARCH Bell Ringer SALE, Ring our Bell 6 PLIES UNDER THE TREAD FIBERGLASS BELTED TM Atlas Forty-Two Whitewalls More potential mileage than (list unbelted tire bells Wide low profile Smooth ride Proven year after year Tirt A78-13 plus Ftdernl Excist Tix FIBERGLASS BELTED AMOCO CXV BIAS BELTED WHITEWALl TIRE Sporty low-profile tire Wide massive appearance Meets department of transportation for use in city driving to steady running at turnpike speeds OUR BEST VALUE IN A BELTED TIRE 68 EACH A70-13 Tirt Six.
