MOn Oregon Congressman Rec ommends Billion Dollar Defense Road Program Seattle, Sept. 17. (IP) More than 500 state highway official. In convention here today, were advised that the European war ahould be a lesson to America of the essential part highway! play In any major attempt to Invade North America. "The German super-highway aystem permitted the lightning movement of nazt motorized and mechanized equipment, w h 1 1 e the congestion which occurred In Belgium and Holland when forward-moving military equip ment encountered stream! of refugee! moving back from the battle zone, made impossible the efficient operations of the de fending armies." said Capt. A. W. Brandt, public works super intendent for the state of New York, in a paper prepared for the convention. Mott Urges Spending. ' Rep. James W. Mott, (R.-Ore.), member of the house roads and riaval affairs committees, rec ommended billion-dollar de fense highway program, In ad dition to the regular federal aid highway bill. 'If war should occur tomor row, the congressman assert ed, "It would be a military tm possibility to move an army with Its tanks, artillery, sup ply trucks and other equipment over U. S. highway 89 irom Seattle to San Francisco. He proposed financing by the federal government of 75 per rent, "and perhaps as much as 80 or B5 per cent of the cost of defense highway development so that state financing of the regular federal aid road pro- cram would not be impaired. He asserted "the states must by all means retain ' control ''over the defense roads." Quick Action Needed. Mott said the special high way financing was necessary If the nation's main highways were to be brought quickly to standards specified by the war department. For roads within army and naval reservations, necessitated solely by military considerations, he proposed fi nancing by federal funds alone. The Oregon congressman said the federal government, in the past 17 years, had collected $2,000,000,000 more from road users than It had returned to them In federal aid, adding: "With a willingness on the part of the federal government to expend at least as much for road-building as it collects in special road taxes, together with whatever additional amounts may be necessary solely in the Interests of national defense. I think we can solve the problem." prises in store for those who come early. Thursday night the Youth club has its meeting, followed by a free dance.
