Warning: Rough Road Ahead
When Congress enacted the $33.8 bil-
lion highway program this year, it was
properly hailed as the first truly modern
road plan of the postwar era, and a de-
velopment certain to add much substance
to the nation’s prosperity,
Nothing has happened to alter this
view of it, but certain facts are emerging
which demonstrate rather forcefully that

In other words, the business of trans-
lating this huge program into reality is
subject to many important pitfalls. All
kinds of detailed difficulties must be sur-
mounted before major progress can be ex-
pected.
Traffic engineers meeting recently in
San Francisco laid some of the problems
out.
Some states haven’t got the necessary
legislative authority for cooperation in the
program. In most cases their legislatures
don’t meet until 1957 or later, hence de-
lays on this score are strongly indicated.
The key feature of the program is the
41,000-mile inter-state road network, yet
factual data are lacking even for the be-
ginning phases of this effort. States and
communities as, a whole do not have
enough spadework completed on possible
highway locations, problems involved in
land acquisition, hnd so On.
Sometimes these troubles can be met
swiftly, but not always. Chicago needed
13 years to get all the land for its Congress
street superhighway.
Warnings have gone* out that there
may not be enough traffic engineers
around to do the job. Government pay
scales aren’t high enough to attract the
needed manpower. Unless a pay boost
comes in many cases, the problem may
not be licked.
In addition there are the natural de-
lays that follow from having to deal with
many, many local and state governments,
often within a" limited geographic area.
To get agreement on plans and routes can
be almost as hard as winning Soviet ap-
proval of a proposition in the United Na-
tions.
The engineers at San .Francisco ques-
tioned, too, whether sufficient public sup-
port can be mustered for some parts of
the vast project. Without that backing,
important gaps in the 41,000-mile web
might exist for years.
The program is projected, of course,
over a 13-year period. But it will take
much longer than that if there is not a
spirited attack now on the hard*nut ob-
stacles looming in its path.
Washington has waved ?33.8 billion
dollars, but it has wrought no magic.
Ahead is tough, grubby work at the state,
regional and local level.
The highway program today is a
bright promise. Only American citizens
in every corner of the land can make it a
fact.

Designated At Farmers
BY PETER EDSON \

Washington—(NEA)—Both President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Gov. Adlai Stevenson are “fanners”—meaning that they own
farms on which they have country homes. But neither the Gettys-
burg, Pa., nor the Libertyville, 111., establishments could qualify as a
demonstration farm to show professional farm*™ how to operate
and make a profit. Both farming operations are run by manager
tenants, and upkeep costa: are' high. - -r • ‘
ike bought, his original IBPracre parcel for around $126 an
acre. Land values in the »reg immediately soared to over $500 an
acre, not because ft became better farm land, but for its social and
prestige value. f " ,
The Predident doesn't try to operate a commercial farm. Grain
and forage crop, are not mwfbut used to feed hi. own livestock. He
is still building up his hard-
Stevenson’s 640 acres were first acquired by his grandfather
Adlai Stevenson. The farm Is HOW owned jointly by Stevenson and bis
sister, Mrs. Ernest Ives. It was allowed to run down for some years
and is Snow valued at around $300 an acre in a district where good
farm land goes for $6$0 an acre.
This year Stevenson's tenant, Earl Shivea, had about 20# acres
in corn, oats, soybeans and bay, with 15 acres in the soil bank. Yields
are good, and the farm will show a profit.
Four years ago, Stevenson revealed that from 1942 through
1951, hif farm partnership paid him an average annual income of
$2,400. If this is a one-fourth interest—one-half to his tenant and
one-fourth to his sister—the farm grossed $9,600 on the average.
Expenses weren't listed.
Political observation overheard in a group watching ex-Gov. Tom
Dewey of New York on television: “Well, at last he’s beginning to
act grown-up. He doesn't look so much likb the naan on the Wedding
cake, anymore.”
White House speech writers insist that the phrase “wicked non-
sense” which President Eisenhower applied to Adlai Stevenson’s
social security program, was of the President’s own authorship. They
say he talks like that. In answering the'attack next day; Stevenson
suggested that the phrase might be the work of one of the White
House team of ghost writers.
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) declared in a Senate campaign
expenditures investigation hearing that the AFL-CIO Committee on
Political Education book on congressional voting records was “a
piece of propaganda which made every liberal show up well and we
Republicans look like hound dogs.”
Everyone laughed as COPE Counsel Albert J. Woll commented,
“That’s unfortunate for you.” .....
It’s Republican campaign strategy to promote to the utmost its
top candidates' wives. Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Mrs. Richard
M. Nixon have appeared with their husbands at campaign speeches
wherever possible.
The President apologised to his Pittsburgh audience because his
wife had a virus and couldn’t come. Pat Nixon subbed for Dick when
he lost his voice on tour.
These appearances are intended to emphasize the point that Gov.
Adlai Stevenson is divorced and that Mrs. Kefauver isn’t accompany-
ing her husband on his campaigning this year. Nancy’s explanation is
that she thinks it more Important to stay borne and look after her
four children.
On his return to his job after his operation, Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson revealed that he found one letter saying “I
wouldn’t vote Republican for $150,000, tax free. However, I do like
