Highway System
washington POST

The idea of a national highway system has long
intrigued planners transportation agencies and motor
lists alike. In the postwar period it is likely to be
regarded a national necessity For motor traffic
will continue to increase regardless Of the phe-
nomenal development of aviation The very fact that
air traffic is attaining large scale proportions will
intensity the demand for modern highways Before
another decade has passed the public may be oath to
travel by automobile the rough and
sharply turning highways that have carried i'm
mense amount of traffic in the past.
It seems probable, therefore, that the plan of the
National Interregional Highway Committee which
President Roosevelt has transmitted to Congress- will
have warm reception That plan calls for postwar
construction of $4,000 miles of modern highways free
from grade crossings stop lights and other obstruc
tons Following the general routes of many Federal
air roads now in use, these highways would afford
ready to all sections of the country. Indeed
they would knit regions and cities together more
closely than they have ever been knit together before
Probably important is the fact that this
program opens to thousands of citizens fighting
for their country hope for the future 1t sug
geSts that their Government is taking a forward
looking attitude toward the postwar One of the
most dscouraging thoughts that crowd in upon men
out in the foxhoes is the fear that they may come
back to WPA jobs worse Concrete evidence that
their Government is looking ahead and planning
ahead is certain to be stimulus to their morale.
OF course the details of financing this immense
undertaking and the period over which it is to be
built will have to be left for later discussion Con-
sidering the burden of debt that the Government will
inherit from the war, realization of this aim will
doubtless have to be spread considerable period.
But start and should be made as soon men
and materials once more become available, and that
will mean as the President has pointed out great
deal of preliminary work in making detailed plans
and acquiring rights of way.

AIR PROGRESS

In organized air transport the United States got
off to slow start Airnes common in Europe
and between the British Isles and the Continent be-
fore this country really entered the business of
ing passengers and parcels by air But once we got
under way went places
The progress made in air transport between 1926
and the present time is almost unbelievable AT that
earlier date United States airlines carrying no
passengers international services In 1941 they
ried 31 055 What they carried during 1912 and 1913
is military secretbut you guess the tremendous
totals which have been built up.
In 1926 domestic arlines in this country handled
only 5782 cash customers Put that figure alongside
the 4,060,545 persons who rode on commercial planes
194l and you have reasonably good picture of the
progress which has been made in this particular phase
of aviation operations
Consider too. the tremendous growth in the
business of carrying mail by air Back in 1926 mail
planes flew total of 396345 plane miles. BY 1882
that figure had mounted to almost 34000,00O In

ROOSEVELT TALKS TURKEY

Until now, no details have leaked
out concerning the conference in
Cairo between FDR and President
Inonu of Turkey but it can now
be revealed that Inonu promised
President Roosevelt all aid short of
war.
He did not close the door to war,
but pointed out that Turkeys lead
ing cities, such as Istanbul Con
stantinople) and Ankara, the cap
ital, could be demolished almost
overnight by German bomberS based
in Bulgaria. He also insisted that.
II Turkey must get into the war.
the Allies must deliver a far greater
stock of fighting equipment than
Turkey has seen SO far.
But most significant was the
promise OF aid OF other kinds. In

the two-thirds rule-not SO much
aimed at the President, but pri-
marily to get rid of Wallace at the
next convention.
Next to Mrs. Roosevelt, the Vice
President has been pilloried IN the
South probably more than any other
person. With the exception of a
few such as Governor Bob Kerr of
Oklahoma, almost all Southern
leaders are dead against him.
In the end. however, the Rivers
drive completely fizzled.
NOTE-Governor Kerr describes
Wallace's speech at the Jackson
Day dinner as, "One of the greatest
and most heartfelt political speeches
of all time"

THE "TWO-THIRDS" RULE

There were some very significant
back-stage conversations behind the
move of Georgia's oleaginous eX-
Governor, ED" Rivers, at the re-
cent Democratic National Commit
tee meeting, to revive the two
thirds rule Tor the Democratic con-
vention
When Rivers proposed that the
next convention go back to the ira
ditional rule by which the South
ern wing of the party blocked the
nomination of Al Smith in 1924,
and which Roosevelt finally man
aged to throw overheard in 1882,
the other Democrats did not know
that the polished Georgian had just
been in huddle with Jim Farley
In fact, Rivers mao preakfasted
with Farley and Chip Robert,
also of Georgia, former secretary
of the National Committee. To-

JONES STOCK REPLY

Another to tangle with War Food
Administrator Jones was Lawrence
Appley, McNutts assistant as War
Manpower Commissioner Appley
showed case after case where the
War Manpower Commission had
supplied labor for Gamers at the
request of the War Food Admins
tration, only to find that the can
ners did not need the labor. After
the extra labor was moved into the
canning districts, they were not
hired, Appley said, and it seemed
obvious that the Gamers wanted
them there to create surplus and
thus keep wages down.
To this, Judge Jones gave his
stock reply; We'll, you have to
have food, don't you?"
Finally, Joe Eastman, Director of
Defense Transportation, took Jones
over the hurdles on the ground that
the railroads were cluttered up with
croSS-hauling of trade marked food.
Inc Dig professors, ne pointed out,
were shipping special brands of food
from East to West while others
were shipping from West to East
IN order to keep their trade marks
before the public. He claimed that
the r-burdened railroads should
not be asked to handle this load
Again Jones gave his stock reply.
BY this time. Justice Byrnes, who
had called the meeting, was fid-
getting in his chair. The time of
lot of important Government
chiefs was being wasted. The meet
ing adjourned
Afterward, Donald Nelson re-
marked: Might just as we'll have
good cracked monograph record
as Marvin Jones"

These figures cannot, of course tell the whole
story. There are too many other factors which &c
to make airplane progress But they do give some
idea of the strides which the industry has taken in
short time; they hint at the progress which may be
waiting in the years ahead
STILL the greatest romance of the air is that of
speed It's other advances may amaze us; the diff
ferences speeds which have resulted from airplane
developments astound When Lewis and Clark

Gnu made it clear that he expects
an Allied victory and wants to help
bring it about.
NOTE-Those who sat in on the
conference with the two chiefs re-
port that Roosevelt tossed aside all
advice that he should talk in de-
vious manner with Orientals, and
play his hand close to his chest.
On the contrary, he talked to In
onu in The same frank and breezy
manner that he would use with
somebody like Speaker Sam Ray
burn in Washington. This made a
big hit with President Inonu.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY
Adverse planetary influences to-
day threaten shipping. Women
should be cautious in business mat
ters.
HEART AND HOME: This month
may be exacting to women whose
domestic problems will be intense
fled by winter weather Care of
health is of first Importance, as in
fluenza will be epidemic.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Despite
Government measures to curb rising
prices there will be signs of infla-
ton. Increased wages will affect
the financial status of the nation.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Lack of
harmony in the relations of the
President and Congress may cause
war issues to suffer Although men
in the armed forces will be allowed
to vote, the methods of handling
their ballots may be unsatisfactory.
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS:
Since time is of supreme Importance
to the United Nations, the next
three OF four months should see
most untiring efforts to supply our
prodigious war needs.
Persons whose birhdate it is have
the augury of year of mental
strain but financial affairs should
be fortunate.
Children born on this day will
probably be fairly lucky all through
life. Health should be constantly
safeguarded.
