Bio. B. to S4S EDITORIAL WhyAnyU.S.GasTox? President Eisenhower has put new emphasis' on his administration's desire for stepped up federal spending on highway construction. The President said at a news conference this week that such increased highway aid to the states might be enhanced if Congress would heed his request that the scheduled half-cent in the federal gasoline tax be postponed. Somehow, that stand doesn't quite'fit in with the desire of many citizens and 'Eisenhower supporters for less government activity at the state and local levels.

The federal- government cannot make continual outlays for highway construction without exercising measure of control over the spending of that money. The only way to control it is to have a voice in the state road projects. This means interference at times, even if that interference is of the benign and paternalistic nature. It also is apparent that federal funds for road projects among the states represent a weapon of potential pressure for one cause or another, pressure just as effective as patronage and the other plums- of political activity. The chief logical reason, of course, for federal grants to the states on highway work is the fact that federal gasoline taxes should be returned to the motorists of the nation in the form of better highways.

He Won't Give Up South Korea's Syngman Rhee is a tough old customer who refuses to believe that tact is the weapon for. dealing with Communists who threaten the freedom of his people. In an interview this week, Rhee declared he still was ready to take independent action to clear the Chinese from North Korea and reunite the nation if the peace tiations fell through. Rhee announced emphatically he was not "bluffing" and that he no longer could afford to try to run a bluff against the Reds. United Nations and American observers, of course, doubt Rhee could put up much of a fight with the stocks of ammunition and the weapons available to him now.

In fact, they don't see Rhee's ROK troops lasting much more than three weeks before their supplies were used up. Still, there is much to admire in an aged statesman who believes so sincerely and determinedly in his mission in life, the complete freedom and unity of the Korean peo pie, He has maintained nis policies i the face, of frustration during th Korean War and the necessity yielding to those who were helping to light his war' for him.

Sen. McCarthy of Wisconsin ane Gov. Dewey of New York, Republicans who are miles apart at least geographically, in the past few days have expressed belief Eisenhower will run again. He's now-63. He'll be 66 when the 1956 presidential election arrives.

Eisenhower himself is keeping mum. He has sidestepped news conference questions about his 1956 intentions.

He's still immensely as public opinion polls show. But this something which may. grow or diminish in the fiery furnace of events. Facing him are problems, visible and unknown, big enough make or break him. A bad depression, for instance could wreck his chances for reelection.

But continued high pros jerity would be a big boost. First of all, there's the task his program through his Republican-run Congress this year as a preliminary to the congres elections in November.
