Highway Department
In End Biggest Year

Columbus-Ohio's Highway De-
partment has racked up its second
biggest year in highway construc-
ton since the end of World War
II, and bigger years lie ahead.
More than S78 million worth of
new construction was accomplish
ed in 1858 by the Highway Depart
ment," said Highway Director S.
%. Linzell. This accounts for some
S63.7 million for contract price of
projects sold this year, with an
other $58 million spent on engi-
neering, and $8.4 million going for
purchase of right-of-way. Alto
gether this adds up to a total of
$78,088, ,252. .46." .-.
Linzell pointed out that this
figure was exceeded in 1850, when
slightly more than $50 million was
spent on highway construction, en-
gineering, and right-of-way. THE
1850 figure" he added, lis ex-
planned by the accumulation of
projects during the war years
along with the resultant accumula-
ton of Federal funds"
In 1851 and 1852, considered
normal construction years, the
Highway Department undertook
$49 million and $48 million worth
of new construction respectively.
Compared to the last two
years" Linzell added, 1858 was a
comparatively big year for us. Our
outstanding work for this last
year, 1 believe, was undertaken in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. area plus
the work in providing for truck
lanes throughout the State to
ease congestion along two-lane
highways"

will show a marked increase in
highway construction, as the result

A radical change in @policy is
being forced upon Army and Navy
by the determination of the newly
formed Ivy League to get away
from it all. Beginning in 1856, its
eight members plan to play full

This will leave a lot of blank

where, they regularly met leading

increasing demand in the various
bowls. They'll be fair game too
now that Navy has succumbed.
Army officials with whom we
have discussed the bowl problem
at one time or another have based
their opposition to the fact that
members of the Cadet squad would
be forced to forego their Christmas
holidays at home. In many cases,
they pointed out, the Christmas
break offered Army players their
only opportunity all year to get
away from the strict military
grind and see the home folks.
The premise that a football play
er would rather go home for
Christmas than perform in one of
the bowls might have gone un-

policy makers in Washington
observe that we were free
agents in dealing with Spain.
We did not have any contrac-
tual obligations to our allies
as we have under NATO.
The Germans would welcome
a bilateral pact with us. Their
leaders have felt all along that
q combined Americana German
military force-if Germany
were allowed to rearm to the
extent of all military needs
would form a stronger barrier
against Soviet expansion than
the heterogeneous NATO force.
It is admitted here that an
Americana German pact would
greatly strengthen Western
security if it were not for the
risk of France and possibly
other Western European ma
lions kicking over the traces.
Six American and four British
divisions are the backbone Of
the present NATO forces in
Western Europe. Frances con-
tribution is modest, not ex-
ceeding three divisions under
arms. Their training and
equipment are good. But their
morale Is doubtful because Of
the strong feeling Of the
French people that the Ger
mans are more Of a menace
than the u. S. s. r.
Here lies the theological con-
fiict between us and our French
allies. We conceived the NATO
as q coalition aimed solely at
preventing the U. S. s. r. from
crushing the remaining free
countries in Europe. This was

Atlantic pact because 1t was

resurrected somehow. But res
directions of the body occur
only at the millennium.
The policy launched by Pres
ident Truman was to prepare
to negotiate with the Russians
from a posture Of superior mil
itary strength.
At that time the United
States had one enormous mil
itary advantage: The exclu-
sive possession Of the A-bomb.
But our leaders were deter
mined to have more and more
military advantages. This col
urnn inquired then what we
intended to propose when we
had overwhelming military
superiority - assuming that
military power exists for a po-
litical purpose. We never re-
ceived q rational answer.
Then, the Soviets success
fully exploded an atom bomb.
The political implications Of
the Russian explosion were
bound to be tremendous.
Atomic weapons were no
longer q monopoly that might
be used to compel g. rival to
behave himself; their possess
sion by both parties in a war
made reprisals certain and un-
rolled the spectacle of possible
universal destruction.
But what was President Tru-
mans reaction? TIis reaction
was that nothing had hap
pened to necessitate a recon-
sideration of policy. We'd just
go on doing more Of the same
thing. The Soviets had
merely" got the secret of our
one military advantage.

Constantine Brown,

Unless the Western powers
move faster than their usual
speed and give Germany full
sovereignty and the right to
rearm, the Adenauer admin
istration may be unseated.
It's inevitable successor
would be a coalition of neo-
Nazis, nationalist. Socialists
and Communists. Such a cabi-
net, 1t is feared here, would
turn toward the U.S.S.R. Many
Germans feel that Moscow
can give Germany full SOW
ereignty and national unity
in exchange only for q pledge
of neutrality.
Chancellor Adenauer has
striven courageously to align
his country permanently with
the free Western nations. He
has. been frustrated by the
French National Assembly
which killed EDO and thus
indicated that it wants to
keep Germany as a second
rate power.
BY killing EDO the French
Parliament also served notice
that the "era of servitude" to
Washington is over. This
phrase has been heard fire.
quently in France lately. It
was coined by the Commu-
nists. was taken up by the
neutralists and has become
popular with the rank and

German equality.
Our policy makers are hard
put to solve the present prob
lem which in essence is simply
to prevent Western Germany
from falling into Soviet hands.
In view Of the British Labor
Party's opposition to full Ger
man rearmament. it appears
that a direct agreement be-
tween this country and the
Bonn government might do
the trick.

denly this week, left behind a
legacy in an observation he
once made. It is we'll worth
thinking about in this time
when management of our Gov

men lacking somewhat in

was this:
mo government ever went

The late Senator. former

time advocate of public power,

experience just what he boiled
down there in so few words.
Which is simply that develop

The philosopher, the hui

Control Of Congress Is Issue
Republicans Being Urged to Support Pury Candidates
Regardless of Their Attitude on Mccarthy Question,

tide was rolling against the
Republicans after the ava
1anche in the 1882 election.
so now the same kind Of mega
tive tide which started rolling
against the Truman admins
tration and the Democratic
Party in 1852 should be rolling
the same way in November,
1854. In the 1884 elections the
negative tide of 1882 had not
reached its peak and went to
its highest point in 1886.
While a smaller vote was
cast for members of Congress
in 1852 than for the presi-
dency-and this is not unusual
because of the tendency in the
last two or three decades to-
ward separate ballots rather
than a single ballot contain
ing both the presidential and
congressional nominees-there
is every reason why the COM
ing elections should see a
higher total than in any mid
term election. And it will ma
terialize unless the Republic
cans keep on stirring up the
emotions of the voters on the
Mccarthy issue by prolonging
throughout the campaign the
hearings and the debate in the
special Senate committee.
It is being said that COM
munism isn't an issue this
time. On the surface. perhaps
1t isn't. But underneath it can
be responsible for a consid-
cradle stay-at-home vote on
the part Of those who fear that
the President is too compla-
cent about the issue. It will be
interesting to see whether he
takes up the record Of the
administration on Communists
in Government and points
with pride" to it. as the POI
litical saying goes. or whether
he never mentions the issue
that helped two years ago to
swell the anti-Democratic
tide.
