' THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Salem, Oregon, Thursday, March' 21, 195fl NewHighways Seen Rough on City Planning By LEIF ERICKSON SAN FRANCISCO Ml A city planning expert predicted today that highway construction over the next 20 years will chango the character and structure of metro politan areas more than all the work of metropolitan planners since 1945. John T. Howard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology associate professor, offered with his proph ecy on the impact of the expand: cd federal highway construction prooram this lalricnl: "We are ill prepared, now that the new highways arc upon us, to say where they should he huilt in the best interests of the metro politan areas." Howard, addressing the Amer ican Society of Planning Officials, argued that the purpose of high ways was not ."the carrying of traffic but to serve the commu nity." ' He said a highway so designed and built that it produces land development patterns "worsening the livability and efficiency of. a metropolitan area is a disservice to the community." He declared the U.S. Highway Act of 1956 proposing the building of billions of dollars worth of modern highways "does not rec ognize these all-important aspects of highway design." "In the absence of metropolitan planning and development poli cies, each decision on highway lnp.it inn will be based on highway engineering, traffic engineering end costs," Howard, contended..; Ho noted that the federal act silent on planning gives route , locating authority to state high Way departments. He expressed hope "that the date and federal engineers, even though they are in a hurry and even though the law docs not re quire, will pause and listen to what metropolitan planners have - to soy. ' ' "And, where it is not too late, that they will modify their plans if they recognize the soundness and wisdom of what they hear." 80 Quakes on Adak Heavily Damage Isle ANCHORAGE, Alaska Wl - A series of earthquakes in the Aleu tians caused heavy -.damage -en Adak Island andleft children so 'frightened they: waken screaming at night, an observer reported Thursday. Ward Wells, Anchorage com mercial photographer, ' toured the Aleutian Island chain where more than 80 aftershocks have been felt since the heavy March 0 quake that caused Pacific tidal wnvos. Wells said most of the damage was on Adak, midway in the chain, He said some roads there have splits 15 feet wide and 8 feet deep, some . buildings are damaged and road guardrails "look like they have been put In by some drunk." "The children nrc taking a beat ing on this," Wells reported. "They wake up screaming at night from just the slightest noise or shake. Tlicir nerves nrc all on edge from the continuous shakes. The adults are standing it pretty well." Wells said construction projects on Adak were damaged heavily. but that completed buildings had mostly minor cracks and broken windows.
