Mr. Adams! has many friends here and his visit< developed into somewhat of a re-1 ception before he got away. Interstate action to curb the abuse of highways by huge motor trucks and vans appears likely before long. The great bulk and weight of these vehicles have made them serious menaces to other traffic and destroyers of roads. It has been learned that trucks and buses contribute only 12 per cent of the vehicle fees and gasoline taxes, though the wider and heavier highways they require cost 30 to 50 per cent of the total road expenditures. Meetings of representatives of small groups of states are planned to arrange interstate control of the dimensions and weights of such vehicles. The American Association of Slate Highway Officials has voted for a maximum 1 length of 45 feet for truck and

It should be , obvious by this time that the large i number of small, private, non-com-mercial automobiles and the small but increasing number of motor giants cannot safely Use the same : highways. Either the giants must , be reduced in size and rigidly conI trolled, or they must secure private rights of way of their own w here 1 they will not interfere with the majority of motorists. o TWENTY YEARS” ” AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File | 4 Mrs. A.

To this end he i has sent questionnaires to 34,000 flying enthusiasts in an effort to deter-, mine the extent of the market for planes to cost S7OO or less. The result ’ i of this survey will be made available to the aviation industry, and manui facturers, assured of a market for their product, can turn out the lowpriced craft. The present so-called “flivver plane" sells for less than 1 ' $2,000, but mass production would probably greatly lower its cost.
