MOTORISTS TO PAY CENT-A-MILE TOLL

PITTSBURGH, May 24 (U. P) — Pennsylvania’s $65,000,000 “dream” highway really will be something motorists dream about but seldom see, according to W. C. Cline, a tunnel engineer who is helping build the 160-mile road, which will run between Pittsburgh and Har-

risburg. But it will cost money for motorists to use it—oné cent a mile, to be exact. Trucks will pay 4 cents a mile for use of the all-weather highway. However, this is no ordinary highway. For example, there will be no steep hills, sharp curves or a speed limit. It will be 78 feet wide —enough for four 12-foot traffic lanes, each separated by a 10-foot wide strip of earth. There will be no cross roads. Over or underpasses will carry intersecting traffic. Vehicles entering the new highway first will be admitted to a “warm-up” stretch paralleling the road before they are routed onto the trough traffic lanes. The maximum altitude of the new road will be 1300 feet, compared with almost 4000 feet on the Lincoln Highway. Curves are being

troversies, clearly presents a challenge to our party.” It places the responsibility for “this critical condition . . . with those who for seven long years have so grossly mismanaged national affairs as to multiply and magnify the problems which foreign conflict has presented.” Under National Affairs, the proposed platform declares the U, S. must be kept out of any foreign war or foreign political entangle ment and declares that “whether by ignorance or design, the Roosevelt New Deal's mismanagement has unpardonably handicapped our country with respect to its armaments, its productive powers and its fiscal condition.” “Our present state of unpreparedness is due to a shameful waste of defense appropriations,” it charges. Our participation in a foreign war, the plank declares,” would result in a strongly-intrenched dictatorship.” The plank favors the “strongest defense required to make our shores secure against any conceivable attack by any foreign power or coalition of powers,” deplores the ‘“obvious waste of defense funds” and demands that the expenditures of armaments appropriations be supervised by a non-partisan board of the best military and technical talent. “We demand,” it adds, “that there be no playing of politics, no advancement of personal or party fortunes, involved in the disbursement of defense funds.” The platform favors adherence to the protective tariff principle with a policy of “genuine reciprocity” but condemns the ‘so-called reciprocity of the New which American farm and factory products have been subjected to disastrous foreign competition” and “American industry, agriculture and labor have been ‘sold down the river.” Major planks in the platform: 1. Favor Senate ratification of trade agreements, favor extension of sound crop loans to farmers, condemns New Deal farm regimentation, favors extension of rural electrification and a sound and sensible soil conservation program but denounces the “absurd and inconsistent policy of taking good land in

the same time spending millions putting arid land into production.” 2. Reaffirms labor's right to organize, favors revision of the National Labor Relations Act to make it more “equitable and acceptable to employer and employee alike,” and amendment of the Wage, Hour Law so “enforcement may be properly and fairly administered.” The plank adds that under the law, the minimum wage is becoming the maximum wage, and the maximum hours the minimum hours in many field of employment. 3. Favors child labor regulation and restraint, the same hours of work and pay for Governmental employees as those in private industry, consultation of labor in all matters of government affecting labor. /, 4. Denounces the New Deal “perversion of our traditional pension system by complicated, wasteful, inefficient and socialistic practices,” and pledges liberal care and adequate pensions to veterans of all wars. 5. Denounces government meddling in and competition with business, and deplores “recent official insinuations that business generally is dishonest.” 6. Favors a “just, practicable and sympathetic plan to insure necessary social security”; old-age pensions that will give the aged a dependable source of security, organized on a sound pay-as-you-go basis, and favors repeal of the law authorizing the state to require liens on homes of needy aged pensioners. 7. Pledges efforts to stimulate opportunities for work, urges balancing of the national budget, demands the tendency toward centralization of power in the state be curbed and the right to local selfdetermination be reinstated, and demands repeal of laws giving the Governor the right to appoint the Attorney General and deputies of elected state officials. 8. Denounces the “plunder system of political patronage,” favors elimination of unnecessary state jobs, more rigid enforcement of tax rate limitation law, exemption of municipally-owned utilities from local taxation, adjustment of rates in the Gross Income Tax Law to make them more equitable, particu-

Law to provide for expert, disintere ested counters and canvassers. 10. Pledges “our unfailing support of a public schools system” and that “mounting costs in other units of government will not be permitted to injure” its effectiveness, “abhors the disgraceful textbook adoptions, the sanction of vulgar and profane textbooks and use of historical texte books unfaithful to our cherished traditions,” condemns unnecessary textbook changes, and favors removal of the State Board of Educa= tion from political control. 11. Deplores the “national dis= grace attached to Indiana” through “the Two Per cent Club” and declares taxpayers have a moral right to know “what comprosises, if any, have been made by the Two Per Cent Club, or its present or past officers, with the Federal Treasury Department.”

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE ONCE WAS STATELESS

HANOVER, N. H.,, May 24 (U.P). —Dartmouth College has never moved, but there was a period, from 1778 to 1782, when it was situated in Vermont and even in no state at all. In 1778, several New Hampshire towns east of the Connecticut River joined Vermont. Dartmouth College found itself in Dresden, Vt. At that time Vermont was seeke ing recognition as a state by the Continental Congress. A state po=litical party persuaded the Vermont Legislature to eject the 34 river towns on grounds they hindered recognition. This action left Darte mouth in Dresden, but in no state. Soon afterward the towns again joined Vermont, but this time the Continental Congress ruled as a requisite for admission to the Union that the state must abandon all claims to disputed territory. Darte mouth then returned to New Hampe
