Right now, the Democrats and Republicans

It's the biggest public-works project ever
attempted, and it is scheduled to be finished
about IS years from now. The building of the
Panama Canal was smaIl-time stuff compared
to this new road plan.
New. Over The Old
The new roads for the most part will be four
lane, divided highways. Around cities where
the traffic is heaviest they will be eight and
even 10 lanes wide.
These roads will be built right on top Of
existing roads wherever the engineers think it's
possible. Existing roads will be widened,
rebuilt, fiattened out and brought up to mod
ern standards of highway construction. fthat
isn't possible, engineers will build the new
roads on parallel routes, maybe 400 feet to one
side, or in some cases, as much as 70 miles
away from the old road.
Curves will be banked for high speeds,
shoulders will be wide and hard. The strip
between the opposing traffic lanes will be wide
enough to prevent head-On collisions.

In short. driving will be easier than ever
before for all Of us.
It's far cry from the days when we had to
plan carefully for 6O-mile tour: when we got
up early to oil and grease the car, tighten the
bolts, tune up the motor, tie on two extra
spares. fill one can with water. another with
gasoline, lay out the gloves and the buster.
Then a trip was daring. sporting journey.
On our new nationwide highway system,
trip 10 times as long may be comfortable
days journey. We shall be able to drive from
Detroit to the Atlantic Coast in single day,
and from New York to Florida in two easy
days.
Auto-makers will add to our ease and safety.
Radar brakes may prevent collisions by auto
matically applying pressure when an object
crosses the sight line of the radar. And some
day there may be automatic pilots for autos
too, so that we can read or sew as we are
taken along the new Superhighways Of the
future.
The average travelling speed on the roads IS
years ago was II miles an hour. Today it is
about Al, and on tomorrowS roads it may be
90 to 10.
But there is far more to this new highway
program than just speed and convenience.
Here is a breakdown of other important
changes that are coming:
Economy: We will all pay for the roads.
How? Probably by paying a one-cent tax on
gas, and taxes on tires, tubes, oil. But the saw
ings will far exceed the costs. On these roads,
the cost per mile to operate car will be
penny mile less than on inferior roads. So if
your car gets IS miles to the gallon, you'll have
paid penny extra for the gas, and saved IS
cents in operating costs.
There will be other savings. too. With safe
roads, we ought to save at least 500 million
dollars year in accident costs alone. Buses
and trucks will save, too, and some Of those
savings should be passed on to all Of US in lower
rates for carrying both freight and people.
Safety: There is no doubt the new roads
will make driving far safer for you and your
family. Already - Continued on next page

Tonight, even this early in
1856. we seem to find ourselves
in the midst of a presidential
campaign :. even though neither
party has yet nominated its can
didate for that Office.
At stake in the contest will
be more than public Office, more
than the elation of success OF
the gloom of defeat. more even
than the fortunes of a great
national party.
America will decide the course
our Republic shall take through
a four-year span of unacceptable
problems and mighty challenges;
of many dangers for the uimid

On that fcur-year course -
on the policies that guide it,
on the character and attitudes
of those chosen to direct 1t, on
the spirit which animates the
Republic during it-depends the
continuance of our advance in
prosperity, the strengthening of
our security. the progress we
shall make toward a just peace
among the nations.
My fellow Republicans, the
campaign before us is concerned
with those things which count
for most-peopie and principles.
The campaign is concerned
with people, for the mission of
