Opposition to a national highway system voiced by Elmer Twitchell
The administrator of the Federal Works Agency rails against a proposed three billion dollar national highway system linking 42 state capitals and major cities. He argues the project harms families, increases indriection, and urges a moratorium on tunnels. He questions Russia’s motives and lampoons wartime road culture in a broader critique of modernization.
