Ike and Highways For America
Congress nears approval of a giant highway program championed by President Eisenhower. The plan imposes about 8.60 dollars more yearly in taxes on the typical car owner and up to 565 dollars for five axle trucks, with costs likely passed to consumers. The project, billed as the greatest peacetime federal building effort, seeks to connect nearly every U.S. city of 50 000 or more within thirteen years.
