Group Outlines Plans
For Highways 10 Garry
100000 Autos

Predicting a total registration Of
40, 900 900 motor vehicles in the
United States by 1850, the Automo-
tive Safety Foundation in a special
study prepared for the Senate Com
mittee on Postwar Economic Policy
and Planning has outlined plans
for a national network Of modern
highways to be built when peace
comes. The report was made public
today.
While high-speed arterial high
ways, with every modern safety
feature, are designed for long range
travel, the study does not neglect
improvement of the roads connect
ing farms with county seat towns,
the backbone" of the Nations
transportation system.
Although the engineers who made
the study foresee a tremendous post
war increase in air travel, both for
passengers and valuable freight,
they believe that it will be accom-
panied by a sharp rise in motor
traffic.
Travel Increase Expected.
"fhe expectation Of an overall
increase in passenger transporta-
tion," the report said, makes 1t
highly probable that the amount of
motor-vehicle travel of all types will
continue to increase for consider
able number of years after the war.
Assuming high level Of employ
ment and industrial activity after
the war, an estimate has been made
Of the number of vehicles and the
amount of travel which will be per-
formed when automotive production
has been resumed and tire and
gasoline restrictions lifted.
1T has been estimated that the
downward trend in the number of
persons per vehicle from II in 1920
to In 1910 will be continued to
3.5 In 1850, and that this factor,
combined with the anticipated in
crease in population, will result in
a total registration Of approximately
40, ,000, 900 motor vehicles In 1850.
Moreover, the unpward trend in
travel per vehicle should also con-
tinue, resulting in an even greater

TEN Of development based on legis-
latiop now pending In Congress
to provide Federal aid for postwar
construction of roads. The measure
provides appropriation Of 81, ,0O0, ,000,-

and the other half on secondary
rural roads and city streets, dis

The States would match Federal
funds to the extent OF rs per cent
Of the total expenditures.
The seven postwar systems FORE
seen IN the report are:

about IS per cent Of all traffic
mileage.
2. Interregional system: $4,000
miles. Of which 5000 would be ir
urban and $4,000 in rural regions;
estimated to bear 20 per cent Of
all traffic.

tracts and cutbacks will free additional materials for civilian It does follow that the country is in Ia position to support any marked expansion of civilian output All the committee pleads for is utilization of such materials be safely released for the immediate production of essential articles.
 The committees plea for relaxation of Govern ment controls and restrictions fast conditions permit is hedged about by good many reservations. For instance, it comedies that quota system will probably be necessary for various civilian items de- clared to be essential for household and that special allocations will have to be made to manu- lecturers using scarce materials That leaves only items not on the essential list to be made from sur puses available after products and essential civ ilan items have been provided for. However, as demobilization progresses, more and materials will be added to the list of free surpuses. Hence the question that concerns the Truman Committee is whether companies shall be permitted to acquire such surpuses in the market and manufacture what they please or whether Government regimentation of pro- duction shall be extended to cover such industrial activities It against the latter possibility that the committee report takes strong stand The greatest production and employment it affirms, will be ob- taned by permitting those who most energetic to obtain the materials that surplus after alloca tions for war and essential items providing they do pay ceiling prices and can prove that the materials intended for immediate use.
 To some this modified lassez-faire program may prove to be disappointing But the alternative would be infinitely The Truman Committee graphic ally describes the enormity and complexity Of the duties that would devolve upon any Government agency undertaking in peacetme to control produc- tion of the countless articles that manufacturers might wish to produce from surplus materials Hence the justified warning against damming up and holding back production with controls that would be unwork able for mass operations and would create difficulties and delays causing great injury to industry and hardship to workers

TRUMAN REPORT

Tn it's third annual report the Truman Committee summarizes its finding and conclusions on numerous important issues that been the subject of nves tgation. The distinguishing feature of the report is it's optimism and consequent impatience with the overcautious attitude of those who wish to permit surplusage of materials and other productive facilities to accumulate guarantee against possible failure to achieve production goals. The committee points that curtaiment of civilian produc- ton positively endangers the war effort especially such curtament means lack of essential machinery and equipment More liberal provisioning of the civilian economy is urged a protection against excessive mortality of small and intermediate busi
 nesses and the distrbutive trades The Truman Con- mittee also that continued curtailment of civilian production increases the pressure to bid prices of scarce goods. Tt is doubtful the report states, whether the cost of living be stabilized in postwar period even in period following the collapse of of the fronts unless reason
 able amount of civilian goods are made available"
 Of course the committee is not proposing to permit civilian production to encroach necessary production. It s however possessed of evidence indicating that have surplus supplies of some materials and that from now on cancellations of con-

JEssE JONES PLAYS BRIDGE

Brazilian Ambassador c arloS Martins IS apparently building his bridges with weather eye for change in Administrations. Among the high-ranking guests at a dln- ner given in his ornate, monument festooned Embassy the other night, were Senators Bob Taft, and Re publican House leader Joe Martin.
 However, Ambassador Martins was also careful to invite Jesse Jones, who controls the purse strings for millions of dollars of REC loans to Latin America. And he invited Will Clayton, right-hano man to Uncle Jesse who will be in charge of the postwar disposal of U. S. Government war plants, some of which might be dismantled and shipped to Latin America. Clay ton was the man who built up Brazilian cotton to compete with American cotton, so the Latins per haps think he may help to build up competitive Latin American indus tryD
 After dinner, Jesse proved him. self just as shrewd in squaring off for a card game as he is n squar ing off for other jobs.
 Here are two charming ladies to play bridge with you, MT. Secre- tary,' invited vivacious Madame Martins. And what man would you like to play with you? Senator Taft?"
 The Secretary of Commerce look ed dourly at the Republican Sen ator who had caused Democrats trouble on many occasions. With out answering his hostess directly, Jesse growled:
 Where's Will Clayton?' ,
 So Uncle Jesse, with a silk scarf around his neck to keep off draughts, despite the overloaded temperature of the Embassy, sat down opposite his assistant of many years to play good safe game of bridge.

HOROSCOPE "The stars tnclime
 but do not c0mpep
TUESDAY. MARCH 21

TUESDAY, MARCH 21 On this day of the vernal ingress the aspects, with a portent of a crisis in international relations, presage bitter fighting in the world war
 HEART AND HOME: Discon- tent and anxiety may prevail among women here and in Britain. War service for women will be the sub ject of debate in Congress and in Parliament as the need of additional workers increases. Nurses will be in desperate demand.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The mer- cenary impulses of certain employ CTS and employees, despite the crit ical period, may produce envy and hatred in those who have made real sacrifices The business world will reflect conditions brought about by selfish ambitions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Partisan activities will arouse suspicion re- garding legislative policies in Wash ington and various state capitals The public will express annoyance at the delay in providing voting facilities for our fighting men.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: Aspects of Venus and Jupiter are read as presaging some sort of ad- vantage for the Axis forces. This may indicate only recess between losses, but acts of super -treachery are probable.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advance ment. Opportunities to prove abil- ity in the service will be numer- ous
 Children born on this day will probably be thoughtful, painstaking and reliable. Many may have tal- ent for invention.

 Desperately, with fanatic des- peration. the industrial East does not want that to happen" Movius continues. Tt would be so much more comfortable to get Nye out of the way, and then the Approp- riations Chairman would be Senator Styles Bridges, New Hampshire lawyer @"
 Another reason the interests" want to get rid of his boss, says Movius-and this is the pay-off-is that, if Nye became Appropriations Chairman, There would shortly be an end to benefits for wealthy tax dodgers who have thus far been able to escape their due through Government subsidies of one kind or another
 If wealthy taxpayers have a stauncher friend in Congress than Senator Gerald Nye, Washington neWsmen would like to hear of him.
