Mr.. Roberts pointed out that today

in the past decade, however,
State highway mileage has doubled

| Ever since the last war, civil ana
military authorities, together with
AAA clubs, have Cooperated in
adapting highways to military re-

WASHINGTON, July 27.-(AP)-The

employees of newspapers.
In presenting arguments to support
this position, ne added, the publish

the law was applicable to newspapers
at all, nor did it concedc the right
of Congress to regulate the business
