With the labor controls issue coining to a head in the house next week, Elsenhower arranged to go before the nation at 6:30 pm. (EST) tonight over major radio and television networks. He is expected to urge stricter con trols over labor unions than the house labor committee has proposed and the senate has passed.

Ktirs Demands Announcement of his plans im mediately stirred up demands among some house Democrats for equal air time to voice their disagreement. The networks, how-ever, were reserving a decision until they hear what Eisenhower has to say. Not since the tumultous days of 1947, when the 80th congress enacted the Taft-Hartley act, has congress been so bitterly at odds over labor legislation. With tensions mounting, the house rules committee opened wide the door Wednesday to a free-for-all battle when the issue reaches the floor next Tuesday. delay on the part of the federal government to honor state vouchers for payments to contractors might result in some contractors being unable to pay their House Public Works Says 'Find Funds' Washington tfi The houis public works committee today called for continuation of the interstate highway program at a high-level rate of construction for the next 13 years.

In so doing, the committee left it up to congress to find revenues to finance the program. Todays action tossed back at the house ways and means com mitee a revenue-slashing plan that Mould virtually halt the fed-eralstate interstate network next year snd slow it down thereafter. Asked Tax President Eisenhower had asked for an increase of 14 cents a gallon in the federal gasoline tax. The ways and means committee, which is charged with raising the necessary revenues, ha turned down any tax increase and voted instead to tide the program over its current financial crisis through a special billion-dollar bond issue. These bonds would be retired by diverting from general revenues one-fifth of the money now raised by the 10 per cent manufacturers excise tax on new automobiles.

Rejects Plan The public works committee, which fixes the rate of construction, rejected the ways and means committee plan. For the next nine years, tha public works plan proposes to keep construction going at tha rate of $2,200,000,000 a year. Funds Nearly Gone The bureau of public roads said the federal fund may be exhausted by October. The govern-jment pays 90 per cent of the interstate highway costa and smaller percentages for other state highway construction, Our whole industry has been geared for the big interstate program, Marlow said.

Scribner, said today Metcalf Reports If a satisfactory proposal is advanced by the house ways and means committee on financing the interstate1 highway program, the proposals may reach the house floor during the week of Aug. 17, Rep. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) reported to State Highway Engineer Fred Quinnell, in a telephone conversation today. Quinnell said Metcalf said tha that 4Jie San Francisco court Montana delegation is whole- new period of decreased tension in East-West relations seems to be opening. eminent officials appeared today to have adopted a policy line of avoiding harsh statements about Soviet Premier Nikita It is obviously an effort to create a favorable climate, insofar as possible, for Khrushchevs visit here next month.

Along that same line was the plea by Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon, on his return from the Soviet Union, that Khrushchev be given a courteous reception here. There has been no indication whether the White House has passed any word, informal or otherwise, for politeness in remarks. Speeches Pulled But the pulling back from criticism sticks out in what has happened to some speeches prepared before the latest whirl of international diplomacy brought plans for an exchange of visits by Khrushchev and President Eisenhower. One demonstration was an address by Secretary of the Army Wilbert M.

Brucker dropped out some sharp words about Khrushchev that were in a Eastern Iowa City Struck By Nine Inches of Rain Rival Objects The federal communications commission issued the license to Montana microwave to pick up Spokane TV signals and relay to Helena.

Metcalf also advised Quinnell that the public works committee of the house has indicated that the interstate highway program should be kept at about the same level as it is at present, rather than slow down progress. Old Custom Provides Pivotal Clue St. Louis, Mo. (A3) A fake $5 bill sneaked out of the trousers of a sleeping husband by his wife proved to be a pivotal clue in helping the secret service break up a $10,000 counterfeit ring.

Asst. U.S. Atty. W. Francis Murrell said the four-month-old investigation took a climactic turn when Mrs.

Dallas S. Barr fished the $5 from the pocket of her cab-driver husband. He said Mrs. Barr bought some dry goods and handed the merchant the $5 bill, unaware that it had one blank side. Mrs.

Barr hastily and blusliing-ly retrieved the bill and left the store. The merchant called police. Secret service agents raided Barrs home last weekend and found the $5 bill and printing plates. ruled that it had no jurisdiction of the dispute, and therefore vacated the injunction. Scribner said an appeal will be filed in a day or two with the U.S.

court of appeals at Washington, D.C., in order to get a new injunction from that court. But meanwhile, Scribner said, Montana Microwave will have to cut the signal which has been coming to Helena TV viewers on the cable.
