LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S tSSma
By Hennen Hackott
United Press Correspondent
San Francisco (U.R) A $10,
000.000,000 system of nine super
highways including mile-square
airports at 18 intersections and
with war veterans getting pre
ferential hiring in building them
is one of Maury Maverick's an
swers to the problem of postwar
re-employment.
Maverick, vice-chairman of
the War Production Board,
chairman of the Smaller War
Plants Corp. and former con
gressman from San Antonio,
Tex., made the proposal during
a recent inspection tour of West
Coast war plants.
His plans, Maverick said,
"will furnish constructive em
ployment directly and indirect
ly to 2,000,000 people. It will
save the west and strengthen our
nation's economy. It will join to
gether all parts of the nation and
be of tremendous strategic mili
tary value."
Cross-Country Routes
Under the WPB official's pro
posal the highway system would
comprise three transcontinental
routes and six north-south arter
ies. Each road would be divided
with three lanes of traffic in each
direction. They would go direct
ly through major cities on their
routes with a system of spurs
linking the super-highways with
the cities traffic.
"A minimum of one airport
at least one mile square would
be located at or adjacent to each
of the 18 intersections of such
highways, one with the other,'
Maverick said.
"There shall be a stipulation
In each building contract that
the contractor shall employ first
veterans and second, unemploy
ed men between the ages of 50
and 60 of the region in which
his unit of the highway is built.
This will mean constructive
honest employment for many re
turning soldiers, who will be
among the best workers possible.
And by giving opportunity to
those unemployed between ages
of 50 and 60 we will to a large

Proposed Routes
The transcontinental highways
would:
1. Originate in southern Cali
fornia running east to Savannah,
Ga., via El Paso, San Antonio,
Baton Rouge and Mobile.
2. Run from San Francisco to
Newark, N. J., via Yosemite na
tional park, Duckwater, Nev.;
Huntington. Utah; Denver; Phil-
lipsburg. Mo.: Springfield, 111.;
Indianapolis; Wheeling, W. Va.;
Uniontown, Pa., and Cumber
land. Md.
3. Originate in two roads from
Seattle and Portland to Salem.
Ore., and run to Albany, N. Y.,
and Boston, via Yellowstone na
tional park; Rapid City, S. D.;
Chicago and Cleveland.
Westernmost of the north
south arteries would link Mexico
and the Alcan highway via San
Diego, Los Angeles. San Fran
cisco, Portland, Seattle and
British Columbia.
Two other of the north-south
trunks would have Mexican con
nections and run from Texas to
the Canadian border. One would
start at El Paso and run through
El Morro national monument in
New Mexico ' and Salt Lake
City. The other would have its
origin near San Antonio and go
north through Hobart, Okla.,
Ness City, Kan.; Broken Bow,
Neb.; Pierre, S. D., and Bis
marck, N. D.
To Canada
Another would parallel parts
of the Mississippi-Missouri river
system runing from Baton Rouge
to Canada via Jackson. Miss.;
Memphis; Chicago and Milwau
kee. A road from Pensacola, Fla.,
to Buffalo would traverse Atlan
ta, Jonesboro, Tenn.; Charles
town, W. Va and Pittsburgh.
Similar in strategic impor
tance to the San Diego-Alcan
highway, Maverick said, would
be a road paralleling U. S. route
1 from near Miami to the Cana
dian bordrr above Concord. N.
H., via St. Petersburg, Fla.,
Reidsville, Ga.; Columbia;
Raleigh; Richmond; a point be
