The House Ways 1 Means Committee Tuesday turned down proposals to solve the highway financing crisis with a boost in the 1 federal gasoline tax. The current deficit in the highway fund threatens to slow down - construction of the interstate road i network. In the Midwest, Minnesota has postponed bids on some seven million dollars in highway work because of the congressional deilay. I Indiana announced Tuesday it’

was also declaring a moraotrium on bid letting for the federal-state highway system until it is assured jits “claims will be promptly paid when submitted to the Depart ment of Commerce for liquidai tion.” Illinois scheduled bid letting for September, but the Highway Department said it would not be able to hold the letting unless new mono’ is fortheortiing from Congre4T A spokesman said projects already under contract would not be

affected. The state has about 225 million dollars worth of road projects programmed for the current fiscal year. The figure includes!6s million dollars in federal funds. Ohio, one of the leaders in letting interstate highway contracts, cancelled an August bid lotting of nearly seven million dollars because no federal funds were being advanced. The Ohio Legislature in its past session hiked the gas tax two cents a gallon in order to cover the state’s share of the highway program.

In Washington, new starts on all federally-aided projects were at a standstill. The state Highway Commission decided that, pending congressional action, no bids would be called. i Oregon’s Highway Commission postponed opening of $5,300,000 in bids on 12 projects until the money problem is settled in Washington. Colorado opened the last feder-al-state highway bid today, a small one of $164,000, while WyoIming. already has cancelled fur-

ther letting and does not even intend to award contracts on bids opened July 16. Virginia also declared a moratorium on further projects until 'Congress puts up more money. New Hampshire officials said they were holding back temporarily on bid letting. The Pennsylvania Highway Department said officially it has not ended any bid letting on federalstate projects. But unofficially that is what is being done.

Two Infants Die Os ' Poisoned Formulas SAN ANTONIO, Tex. <UPDTwo infants are dead and four remained in critical condition today from poison sodium nitrite mistakenly put in the babies’ formulas at the nursery of Robert B. Green Hospital. Hospital administrator Willia .Foster blamed a shortage of professional workers for the tragic error, in which the poison tablets apprently were substituted for vitamin C tablets which they closely resemble. The poison was mixed into infant formulas on Friday. Two baby boys, sons of Mrs. Alzada Havard and Mrs. Concha Ramos, died Saturday. Funeral services were held for them Tuesday. The four other babies were saved when nurses noticed they were turiiing blue and quickly summoned doctors to pump their stomachs. The surving infants were said to be still in critical condition “but progressing satisfactorily.” They are twin girls born to Mrs. Jose Riojas, a son born to Mrs. Fred Campbell, and a daughter of mrs. Raul Martinez. Foster said he had been unable to determine who had made the fatal substitution of poison for the called-for vitamin. He said he had questioned workers in both the hospital pharmacy and the nursing department and “someone is lying.” "I don’t know who, but discovery of the person responsible won’t solve the problem,” Foster said. "We just have too piany departments and too few professional workers.” Foster said the hospital has at present only one registered pharmacist to dispense SIBO,OOO worth of drugs a year. He said that two years ago the hospital had two pharmacists to handle only SIO,OOO worth of medication annually. Democrat War Hero Winner In Hawaii HONOLULU (UPI) — The new state of Hawaii swept a Democratic war hero of Japanese ancestry into Congress today— but favored Republicans in most of the other major races. Daniel K. Inouye, 34, who lost an arm in World War II fighting, pulled the heaviest vote by far. He will be the first of his race to hold a congressional seat. A Chinese-American Republican, millionaire Hiram Fong, also will ' be the first of his race to gain a seat in Congress. His opponent, Connecticut-born Frank A. Fasi, announced at Democratic headquarters early today that he was conceding the race for a Senate seat. William F. Quinn scored another victory for the Republicans by winning the race for governor. Democrat John A. Burns conceded as the. heavy GOP vote from Honolulu ended what had been a neck and neck race. Democrat Oren E. Long continued to lead Wilfred Tsukiyama in the race for the other Senate seat, but Democrat Mitsuyuki Kido conceded the race for lieutenant governor to Republican James Kealoha. Inouye said he was “deeply gratified for the privilege of being the first United States representative from the new sovereign state of Hawaii. I am determined to do my share, small though it may be, to make Hawaii a bridge of understanding and tolerance between the Western' and Asiatic worlds.” An estimated 90 per cent of Hawaii's 183,000 registered voters cast their ballots on seven islands Tuesday in the first state election in the 50th state. Election officials said part of the heavy turnout was caused by enthusiastic 20-year-olds, eligible to vote for the first time.
