Hiked Quotas for U.S. Sugar May Win Okay WASHINGTON (ITU A proposed increase in marketing quotas for U.S. sugar growers apparently will be passed by the House next week without major controversy.

The House Rules Committee Tuesday cleared a controversial new sugar bill for floor action. Disputes on the measure centered on provisions dealing with marketing quotas for foreign quotas section. But no amendments will be allowed on the section dealing with domestic quotas. This action reflects the fact that there has been little dispute over the domestic quota increase since U.S. sugar Industry groups reached a compromise agreement early this year.

The terms of (he agreement are included in (lie sugar bill now pending before the House. They were endorsed by the administration and adopted virtually without change by the House Agriculture Committee. The bill fixes the marketing quota for U.S. beet sugar, beginning In 1965, at 3,025,000 tons, an increase 375.000 tons. For cane sugar raised In Louisiana Florida.

"We realize the roadway will not see its full benefit irnlil the final link is completed," said Synims. "We will try to get that last link done as soon as we can." Total figure for the 22.1 miles across the valley from Caldwell to Isaac's Canyon will be in the neighborhood of $16.2 million, h'J said. THE OVERALL cost of the 6.6 miles opened today will run about million, said Symms $1.9 in actual construction and the remainder in right-of-way and engineering costs.

Around 90 per cent of the freeway cost is paid from federal highway funds, he sair, and 10 per cent by the slate. C. M.
