New Super-Highway Seen as
National Defense Requisite

Jones, guiding hand behind the
construction OF the 160-mile super
highway through the Appalachian
| Mountains between Pittsburgh and
Harrisburg, attributes much OF the
| German war success on the contin-
ent to carefully planned highway
1 program.
Highways always have been de.
/ termining factors in the conduct OF
war. and they are more important
than ever in these days OF mechan-
lied armies Jones said. The
$500 miles OF super-highways con
structed by Germany helped Hitler
conquer Poland and France by faci.
litating movements OF troops and
materials more quickly than those
nations could move them.
The German military machine
thinks SO highly of these express
highways that 1t is extending them
into every corner Of conquered ter
ritory," Jones said
Routes Not Connected
For United States national de.
Tense planes, Jones, who is WORK
ing for the extension OF the Penn
sylvania turnpike from Harrisburg
to Philadelphia, proposes an ex-
tensive system.
I'VE now have 1042 miles Of
super.highways in various sections
of the nation but the need is to
unity these sections
To accomplish this Jones fayofs
extending the turnpike westward,
with branches to Chicago and st.
Louis providing basic ground for
the national system which will be
needed by this generation"
That system will include three
east-west routes. and three north
south routes crossing the country
in vast grid. An east-west leg
would link Chicago with Seattle.
another would connect st. Louis
with San Francisco and a third
would join Los Angeles with Mi
ami Jones forecast.
