A 5OO-MiIe Drive Will BE Easy

we have few roads that are like the new
ones and the accident rates on these
modern roads are 10 to IS per cent lower
than on the average highway.
Your chances of being manned or
killed are going to be sharply reduced.
And because you won't need to be so
tense you will be able to drive at good
clip without stress and fatigue. The pleas
ure car will be more of pleasure.
Travel, vacation, sights: You and your
family will think little Of 500-mile
drive, so resorts will boom as families
use their leisure time to rest and play at
beaches, mountains, parks; take their
children around the country to visit his
toric shrines. To see how short time it
will take you to hop between cities, take
a look at the table on Page 9.
MoteIs, restaurants, etc: There will be
plenty of places to sleep, eat and play
along the new highway system - but
not smack by the roadside. Wherever
possible, roadside business will be ruled
off the new thruways and placed on side
roads. That's to keep the roads safe, to
prevent the tanning and confusion that
happens when businesses are allowed to
build up right along the road.
But along the access roads: big mod
ern motelS with swimming pools and
Fairgrounds; good restaurants equipped
to handle the big families that will be
touring America. Sights to see and
places to visit.
Business opportunities: Yes, of course,
plenty along these new roads and side
routes as noted above. For gas stations,
for service businesses, for all types of
firms catering to tourists and to the
truck and bus traffic.
But there's more to it than that, for
this new highway system will draw bust
neSses out into the country, manufacture
ing plants, other kinds of business. And
this movement to the country is likely,
in one way or another, to affect you.
You may go out into the country to
work. Committing on the new roads,
you'll be able to get back and forth in a
hurry, and you may find that once the
plant moves out into the country you
will want to, too, so you can raise some
vegetables in the back yard.

Downtown areas will become less
crowded, and old factory sites can be
used for parks and recreation. City traf-
fic will be thinned because the through
traffic will slip around major cities on
the new bypasseS. And instead of going
down grade, our blighted cities may
become more beautiful, less crowded
and once again desirable places in which
to shop and live.
More jobs: Building the roads will take
people. To be sure, big scrapers, spread
ers, crushers, bulldozers, leaders and
rollers will be used to do the back
breaking work. But the machines will
be operated by men, at good pay.
More than SOC, 600 jobs will be created
by the building program. Jobs for skilled
workmen, laborers, engineers, drafts
men, equipment builders, suppliers Of
all kinds.
Women will be brought in to help
draw the blueprints, for good craftsmen
are in short supply, and millions of
drawings will be needed. Among other
things, 100000 bridges have to be built.
High-school boys will be used to help
with the surveying. We just don't have
enough engineers to spare, SO students
will be trained to use the surveyors
transit and level.
Yes, it's going to change lot of
things. When it is all finished we shall
have bang-up good modern road
system. That's for you.
AS for me, am old enough to remem-
Der the days of apprenticeship in my
fathers carriage shop, and the horse
and-buggy pixies, and my first four
cylinder Overland that chugged along
country lanes and ratified over ruts. So,
while you take to the new, wide high
ways, I'm going to stick to the old wind
ing back roads, where saSSafraS and
pusSywillowS grow, where you stop to
ask where you are and where you are
going, and how far it is, and wave to the
other car as you pull over to let it pass.

The People
and the Nations
Economy
by Congressman Harris B.
Mcdowell, Jr.

The cost of living has just hit
its highest point in the country's
history, and economists agree that
the end is not in sight. This rise
has been particularly sharp since
spring. Housewives have known
it all the time. The latest report
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
has just made it official.
Farmers, small businessmen,
low-income groups, white-collar
workers, pensioners, and people
with relatively fixed incomes are
being particularly hard hit by the
rise in cost of living, and are not
getting their share of the nations
prosperity.
The rise in prices is not going
to the farmer or to the small
businessman. Their incomes are
down. The increase is going to
middlemen and large companies.
Since the current price in
creases are on the necessities of
life, low-income families are feel
ing the impact the hardest. They
spend a much larger proportion
of their incomes on necessities
than families with high incomes,
and are consequently harder hit
by the present imitation.
During the recent session of
Congress, 1 introduced a resolu-
ton to have a study made of the
spread between producers prices
and consumer costs. If / am re-
elected 20 Congress, will again
push this study, and support
Democratic efforts to halt runa-
way prices.
The impact of cost of living
on the aged presents a special
problem. 1t is my intention to
sponsor a resolution in Congress,
calling for a study of the FEAST
bility of minimum Social Sc

Key Issues
in the 1856
Campaign
by Harry G. Haskell. Jr.

The election this year, ! believe,
provides Delaware voters clear
cut choice for the selection of a
President and a Congressman.
There is a fundamental difference
in policies of government between
President Eisenhower and Mr..
Stevenson and between myself
and my opponent in the Con-
gressional race.
These basic differences are evi-
dent in a number of major issues
which have developed in the past
few weeks.
First, there is the matter of
the best way to achieve peace.
There is no difference in objec-
tives between the two parties.
Both parties want peace. But
there is a difference in methods
to achieve peace.
President Eisenhower rejected
the previous Administrations for
eign policy of "containment" of
Communism. Instead, President
Eisenhower began a policy of "de-
torrance" of Communist aggres-
sion through Americas power to
retaliate against any aggressor.
In effect, the President decided
that the best way to achieve
peace was to warn any potential
aggressor of the consequences of
aggressive actions,
Immediately after taking office,
President Eisenhower was able
to end the 3-year-old Korean war
by telling the Communists to end
the fighting or America would
unlease its full military power.
In the same manner, the Pres
ident was able to end the Indo-
China war and preserve the Sc
curity of Formosa.
The Democratic candidate for
President has injected into this
campaign the idea that we should
