German Generals Seek Glory for Officer Corps in Bonn
Three former German general staff leaders form a committee to restore officer corps honor and push for regular veterans pensions. They claim deep ties to the federal government and aim to place a general in a senior ministry role to manage veterans affairs. Allied officials monitor growing underground veteran activity and warn such groups could form a new general staff.

Lewis Offers Large Loan To Auto Strikers
John L. Lewis offered a million dollar loan to help CIO Auto Workers win new contracts with Chrysler and General Motors. He invited AFL and other CIO unions to provide aid, arguing money support would safeguard wage-welfare gains and aid Walter Reuther's union in its fight. Lewis praised ending the strike emergency under Taft Hartley as 372,000 miners remained on strike without a contract.

Super-Highway Network Aims To Link New York To Chicago
A 1955 goal envisions a largely bypassing system of super-highways from New York City toward Chicago. Key links include the 160 mile Pennsylvania Turnpike, a 100 mile Philadelphia extension, a 118 mile New Jersey Turnpike, and a planned Ohio Turnpike with western links. Indiana may add the final 165 miles, while western expansion appears unlikely soon. The article notes parallel routes along the Atlantic seaboard and cautions about practical limits across plains and mountains.
