Highway Official Charges ‘Takeover’
Federal highway administra
tors are attempting to grab power
far in excess of the intentions of
Congress, a top State highway
official charged here Tuesday.
John O. Morton, president of
the American Association of State
Highway Officials, leveled , a
withering blast at what he termed
“this senseless takeover” in the
keynote address opening the
Forty-Second Annual Highway
Short Course.
Morton, New Hampshire com
missioner of public works and
highways, referred to a group of
proposed regulations which will
go into effect if not withdrawn
before Nov. 22.
The regulations call for two
public hearings—instead of one
required presently—before a high
way can be constructed. Any per
son or group could bring a halt
to further progress on the proj
ect at either hearing or afterward
by citing any of the regulatory
points in opposing the proposed
construction.
Morton noted that this is the
first time in the 52-year history
of the Federal Aid Highway Pro
gram that a government agency
has resorted to this means of
establishing rules and regulations
for the highway program.
“I can only regard this move
as being of a sinister nature, con
ceived by a few people in high
authority and possibly accepted
by others who are not aware of
its serious consequences,” Morton
said.
Morton pointed out that of the
41-thousand-mile Interstate High
way network, some 6.4 thousand
miles are within urban areas. Of
this mileage, only 150 miles are
in dispute. Practically all the
rest has been constructed or re
solved.
“OF THIS TOTAL mileage of
urban expressways, only 2.5 per
cent have presented problems of
an unusual nature and certainly
this constitutes a record of accom
plishment and not one of failure,”
he said.
Morton said highway builders
have developed cordial and re
sponsive working relations with
community officials and with
representatives of every level of
government.
“We have encouraged the ap
pearance of interested persons at
our public hearings and have
given considerate and responsive
attention to the suggestions and
problems
sented .
that have been pre-
“As a matter of record, of the
41-thousand-mile network of In
terstate highways, approximately
two-thirds of the mileage is now
completed and in service. I can
factually report that this accom
plishment has been accepted, ap
proved and applauded by the
overwhelming majority of the
American people,” Morton said.
SHOULD THE pending regula
tions go into effect, he said, “For
most of the States this will have
the effect of bringing about a
complete stoppage of the highway
program . .
He said the regulations will
take the highway program out of
the hands of the States and the
State highway departments and
put it under the direct supervision
of a “mammoth federal bureauc
racy.”
The veteran highway engineer
and administrator charged that
“at the present time, millions of
highway dollars are being dissi
pated by a Washington bureauc
racy — funds that are urgently
needed for well thought-out con
struction projects.
“COMPLEXITIES are being
created that cannot be untangled
at the local, State or federal
level. Meaningless reports are be
ing required—reports that never
will be read—and each day the
shuffling of more paper requires
ill" 4
added help. All of these dubious
requirements are being presented
to the public under the guise of
creative federalism.”
Morton said it is “high time
that we raise strong objections

to this senseless takeover. To me,
a highway program should be one
that is aided by the use of federal
funds rather than one completely
dominated by government
bureaucracy.”

has no housing or zoning codes,”
he said. “This results in shoddy
housing, but it also provides em
ployment close to the home.”
“MEMBERS OF THE minority
groups must be made to feel
that they have a stake and a
voice in the community. In Hous
ton we have started a program
emphasizing communications, em
ployment and education to en
courage the Negro’s role in the
community.”
Justice mentioned the use of
a mobile City Hall to listen to
the different problems in the
various areas of the cities. Rep
resentatives of the mayor talk
to the people and hear them out.
“By providing the people with
the opportunity to better them
selves, they obtain the power to
work for improvement in their
society,” said Justice. “The indi
vidual is not handed or given
anything, but he must be given
an opportunity.”
