FOR EVACUATION PARIS (TJP) The building of a complete network of autostrades In the Paris region is contemplated by authorities. There are two basic aims, first and for the time being the most impor tant, to facilitate the spreading out of the Paris population, which daily Is becoming more dense; the second, to facilitate transportation In event of war. The plan consists of two concentric circles of highways, one directly around Paris and the other within a radius of approximately 22 miles, joined together by five Intersecting autostrades. - - Each autostrade will consist of four distinct roadst two center highways for one way traffic, each 27 feet wide, which will be reserved for fast traffic, and two parallel roads for slower traffic. The former will be virtually straight, avoiding all towns una crossings. Crossroads either will pass underneath or above. They have also been planned so that no hill will exceed a five degree grade. The pnralllel roads will Join up with all crossroads. The total width reserved is" 100 yards, the roads being sep arated from each other by a strip of grass. The same system will be applied to the outside circular highway and no corner on this road will be sharp enough to make it necessary for cars going under 60 miles an hour to Slow down. The circular road around Paris will be a single highway averaging 15 yards wide. It is already partly fin ished and all dangerous crossings likewise are avoided by means of un derground passages. The strsteglc importance of the roads is to facilitate the evacuation cf the Paris population. It has been pointed out that France neod not build special strategic roads to the frontier like so many other countries have done, as ordinary roads leading to the frontier are straight and wide enough to permit easy and rapid transport. But the question of rapid evacuation of the French capital has been raised many times as roads lead !nn through the Paris suburbs are nirrow and dangerous, owing to the numerous cross onds.
