Heck and Mahoney said their party would push for a major road program but ssid details would have to be worked out after the Diefendorf Commission reported on its restudy cf highway financ­ing.

The GOP leaders aaid. how-that "the mounting general

fund surplus" should enable the administrstion to make a start on a road program.

The Harriman administration also is awaiting the Diefendorf report before drafting a precise program.

The Republicans will propose boosting sickness-disability bene­fits from the present 833 to 840 maximum a week, and to extend to maximum period for such pay­ments from 13 to 20 weeks.

Heck and Mahoney said that many booming communities hsd lost out, proportionately, on per capita aid from the state because the aid wss distributed on 1850 figures snd did not take. Into ac­count their growth in the last few years.

The GOP program for educa­tion calls for increasing "sub­stantially" the minimum salaries for teachers. Harriman will call for higher salaries to meet what he will describe ss an "acute" shortage of qualified teachers The governor will make specific recommendations in his budget messsge Feb. 1.
