WASHINGTON — UP — The
Jumbo road building program now
before Congress adds up to much
better than a shot in the arm for
the American economy
It is more like a built-in boom.
The money Involved would run a
good-sized war for considerable
time. It is roughly 851 billion to
be spent over a 13-year period. Ap-
proximately 836 billion would be
put up by the federal government,
the rest by the states.

of these road projects ended when
