Indiana's Highway Program Bolstered WASHINGTON (UPD—lndiana’s highway building program got a big boost from the federal government Thursday when it was announced $71,952,000 will be available to the state this fiscal year. Under the federal highway program, each state is authorized to use its funds either for interstate system roads or other roads. A total of three billion dollars was authorized to all the states, and maximum amounts to be paid to the states were established. The federal government puts up 90 per cent of the cost of the interstate highway system and half the cost of other federal-aid streets and highways. The funds allocated Thursday came from a one cent hike in the federal gasoline tax. Indiana will use $21,143,000 under the regular highway program and $50,809,000 under the superhighway interstate program, state officials said. Highway Commissioner Ellis L. Armstrong said that states desiring to spend more money than the federal reimbursement limit must acknowledge in writing that they understand the federal government will not be able to reimburse them for the additional amount until late in fiscal 1963.

Secretary Benson Back From Europe WASHINGTON (UPD — Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson returned today from an European farm tour confident of the superiority of American agriculture over that of Communist countries. Benson spent 16 days in seven European countries on a trade and goodwill tour. He visited Yugoslavia, West Germany, Poland, Russia, Finland. Sweden, and Norway. He returned early today after an overnight flight from Oslo. He toured Russian farms around Moscow and Kiev for four days. He talked with Vladimir V. Matskvich, the Soviet minister of agriculture; officials of state : farms and collective organizations; and with farmers them- ; selves. He observed their machinery in operation, noting defects as well as advantages. Benson is convinced that Russian agriculture needs a lot of the know-how of the American farmer. “The Soviet Union has openly challenged the United States to peaceful competition in agricultural production and trade,” Benson said in a homecoming state-
